Each and every week we put together our favorite tracks that had premiered a few days prior into one magnificent mixtape to share with you and your friends. This time around we've decided to share new 2015 songs from Pope Francis, Fetty Wap, Kendrick Lamar and more right here!
Check out the latest in entertainment news right here!
No, "Pope Francis" is not the name of a new band that took on the Holy Father's namesake. We're talking about our actual Pope! According to a number of reports that definitely seemed like jokes at first, Pope Francis is releasing an 11-track prog-rock album entitled Wake Up! in November. If that news wasn't exciting enough, you can stream his first release, "Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!" over on SoundCloud!
While we understand it's very difficult to have someone follow the Pope, we figure Sia is a perfect next act that can handle the load. Though she's known for her songs nowadays, she was mostly known in the music industry as a songwriter for pop acts like Rihanna, Beyonce and more. She's compiling a number of these songs she wrote for others on a new album entitled This is Acting, and this week she shared "Alive," which was written for Adele. Listen to Sia's version right here:
Earlier this month, Sam Smith was named the singer to take on the next James Bond theme for the 2015 film Spectre. This week, the pop singer released "Writing's on the Wall." Have a listen right here!
