First up, we have DRY CLEANING with "JOY." Singer Florence Shaw reflects on the world's current state, expressing a desire to combat negativity with positivity. The song's wishes have a naive quality.
Next, A$AP ROCKY is finally dropping his much-anticipated album, Don’t Be Dumb, next week. He's giving us a taste with "Punk Rocky," accompanied by a visually stunning video featuring Winona Ryder, Danny Elfman, and others.
French Touch veteran SÉBASTIEN TELLIER is releasing his new album Kiss The Beast on January 30th, and "Parfum Diamant" is the latest track to whet our appetites. Tellier says the song captures the essence of adolescent memories and the magic of a man and woman united.
Then, we have THE CRIBS with "NEVER THE SAME." This song was born after a conversation about writing for Louis Tomlinson. The band decided to keep the song for themselves! Their new album, Selling a Vibe, is out this Friday.
