Last week, the Smashing Pumpkins official website updated with a series of six different countdown clocks. The earliest was for today and the latest is for 90 days from now — the rest are in intervals of every few weeks. Today, they’ve unveiled what that first clock was counting down toward: two new songs. One […]
The Weeknd & Calvin Harris – "Over Now"
The Weeknd and Calvin Harris have released a new single together, “Over Now.” The Weeknd has had a blockbuster 2020 already with the release of his latest album, After Hours, which debuted on top of the Billboard 200. One of its singles, “Blinding Lights,” which came out back in November, has proved to be inescapable, […]
Blackpink, Selena Gomez
Last year, the K-pop group BLACKPINK made big moves in America with their Kill This Love EP, becoming the highest-charting women-led Korean act on both the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100 (with its title track). They also played Coachella. Earlier this year, they had a guest feature on Lady Gaga’s Chromatica with “Sour Candy,” […]
A$AP Ferg – "No Ceilings" (Feat. Lil Wayne & Jay Gwuapo)
Ever since Floor Seats came out last year, A$AP Ferg has been popping up now and again. Back in January, he released a track called “Value.” Then he was apparently in the studio with Marilyn Manson. Just last month he returned with “Move Ya Hips,” which found him teaming up with Nicki Minaj. Today, he’s […]
Cordae & Roddy Ricch – "Gifted"
With last year’s debut album The Lost Boy, YBN Cordae established himself as a favorite among fans of thoughtful lyric-driven hip-hop. Earlier this summer, he was one of several rappers arrested in Louisville during peaceful protests over Breonna Taylor’s killing. On both a musical and social level, he’s emerging as a significant young force in […]
Chris Stapleton – "Starting Over"
The last time Chris Stapleton released an album was in 2017, with the two-part From A Room. (We ranked the pair as one of the best country albums of 2017.) But Stapleton’s popped up plenty since. His star has risen to the point where, in the past year, he spent time appearing in Game Of […]
Greg Dulli & Mark Lanegan – "Girl From The North Country" (Bob Dylan Cover)
Over the years, both Afghan Whigs maestro Greg Dulli and Screaming Trees/Queens Of The Stone Age growler Mark Lanegan have proven extremely adept at performing other people’s songs. For Record Store Day this weekend, the old Twilight Singers pals have teamed up on a soulful and ghostly piano-led rendition of the early Bob Dylan heater […]

Molly Parden – "Kitchen Table"
Georgia native Molly Parden has been part of the touring band for artists such as Faye Webster, Sam Outlaw, and David Ramirez, as well as a session vocalist on dozens of records in her adoptive hometown of Nashville. Now she’s got a project of her own in the works, an EP called Rosemary that’s dropping […]
Nap Eyes – "Snake Oil" & "Child's Romance"
The perennially satisfying Halifax indie band Nap Eyes released their excellent album Snapshot Of A Beginner back in March. Today they’re back with two B-sides from those sessions, the drowsy but infectious “Snake Oil” and the remarkably poppy and upbeat guitar banger “Child’s Romance.” Here’s singer Nigel Chapman on the former: “Snake oil” is a […]
