Kelela ft. PinkPantheress - "the bridge"

 

Future R&B chanteuse Kelela returns with the fantastic new record New Avatar. One of the many highlights is the stuttering two-step track "the bridge," a sleek collaboration with PinkPantheress.

Madonna - "Betrayal"

Madonna returns to form on her infectious new record Confessions II; I've always said that when she collaborates with one producer (Price, Orbit, Mirwais) she's at her best. It's hard to pick a favorite song off the album, as it changes with each listen. Right now, I am hooked on "Betrayal" with its sample of Erik Satie's haunting Gnossienne 1. 

Cara Delevingne - "Need It"

Sleek electronic track from the model/actress Cara Delevingne which was written via text with Fiona Apple. It will appear on her debut album next year.

 

Carly Rae Jepsen - "On Wires"

From her eagerly anticipated double-album Day and Night, "On Wires" is the dramatic first taste. Can't wait to hear the whole album. 

Eartheater - "Crown Jewel"

Experimental electropop star Eartheater's new single "Crown Jewel," from the upcoming record Heavenly Body: If I'm The Bottle You're The Message, is a touching love song to her daughter; imploring her to shine as bright as she can be. 

Interpol - "This Mirror Weighs A Ton"

The title track to Interpol's upcoming record finds them returning to the moody atmospherics and surreal, dreamlike moods of tracks like "Take You On A Cruise" and "Pioneer To The Falls." 

Blackwater Holylight - "Fade"

The LA-based (Portland originated) trio Blackwater Holylight walk a fine balance between shoegaze, black metal, and dream pop on their fantastic record Not Here Not Gone. The perfect example is the track "Fade" that builds to an explosive finale.
