  • Charli XCX Shares Colorful "Breaking Up" Music Video From Upcoming Album 'Sucker' [WATCH]

    British pop star Charli XCX has shared the music video for her song "Breaking Up," which you can check out. The BRTHR-directed clip finds Charli breaking up with her clueless boyfriend and then hitting the bowling alley to pick up guys and play a show with her band (this must be Asbury Lanes, then). The video is shot with a bizarre combination of low-budget graininess and a bright neon color palette, which gives it a visual aura vaguely reminiscent of a grindhouse horror flick from the '70s.
  • Kanye West To Tour North America In 2015, According To Rihanna's Charity Auction

    Although Kanye West hasn’t officially announced any plans regarding the release of his eagerly anticipated new album, it was revealed today that the superstar rapper will be embarking on a North American tour in 2015 in support of the album. According to Spin, the announcement was made rather inconspicuously through the website of Rihanna’s charity auction, which includes a prize titled “Kanye West Tour Experience” and states that Yeezy will be touring North America in 2015.
  • Run The Jewels Shares Trippy Music Video For "Oh My Darling (Don't Cry)" [WATCH]

    El-P and Killer Mike continue their reign of terror with the release of the new Run The Jewels music video, "Oh My Darling (Don't Cry)," which you can check out here. The Timothy Saccenti-directed clip finds the duo rapping while standing back to back in a dark room with some flashing red and green lights. There are some occasional shots of naked women every once in a while, so this clip is a bit NSFW.
  • Mary J. Blige Shares Music Vid for 'Whole Damn Year' from Album 'The London Sessions' [WATCH]

    Mary J. Blige has shared the music video for her latest single "Whole Damn Year," which you can check out below. The dramatic video tackles issues of domestic abuse and follows various characters who are physically and emotionally suffering at the hands of their loved ones. It is pretty powerful, and it complements the song's message and minimalist production quite well. You can check out the music video for Mary J. Blige's "Whole Damn Year" here: "Whole Damn Year" is the third single to be shared from Mary J. Blige's latest album "The London Sessions," following "Therapy" and "Right Now" featuring Disclosure. "The London Sessions" was released Nov. 24 and is Blige's 13th studio album overall, her second of 2014 following her soundtrack to the film "Think Like a Man Too" from June.
  • Jessie Ware Shares Music Vid for 'You & I (Forever)' from Album 'Tough Love' [WATCH]

    English pop singer Jessie Ware has shared the music video for her latest single "You & I (Forever)," which you can check out below. The video opens with a quote — presumably by Ware — saying how the song is "celebrating the person you love being by your side," and features Ware singing the song from inside a photo booth, intercut with images of other people posing inside the booth themselves, mostly with friends and loved ones. It is quite similar to Robyn and Kindness's "Who Do You Love?" music video, only a bit grainier. You can check out Jessie Ware's "You & I (Forever)" music video here: "You & I (Forever)" is the third single to be shared from Jessie Ware's latest album "Tough Love," following "Say You Love Me" and the album's title track. "Tough Love" was released Oct. 13 and is Ware's second studio album following her 2012 debut "Devotion."
  • Travi$ Scott Shares 'Mamacita' Music Vid Feat. Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, T.I. [WATCH]

    Houston rapper Travi$ Scott has shared the music video for his song “Mamacita” featuring Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan, which you can check out below. The freaky video finds the three rappers — as well as their label head T.I., who makes a cameo — in a desolate parking lot, featuring plenty of scantily clad women in glow-in-the-dark, zombie makeup. If that was not strange enough, Travi$ is introduced wearing one of those creepy Hannibal Lecter masks, so this is not your typical hip-hop video, though there is an obligatory shot of a Beats Pill. You can check out the music video for Travi$ Scott’s “Mamacita” featuring Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan here:
  • Smiths Guitarist Johnny Marr Shares 'Dynamo' Video from Album 'Playland' [WATCH]

    Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has shared the music video for his latest single "Dynamo," which you can check out below. The video features the indie rock icon and his band performing the song to a small audience on a stage lit by dozens of hanging light bulbs. The real star of the clip, however, is Marr's gorgeous, dark-green Fender Jaguar, which frankly does not get enough screen time. You can check out Johnny Marr's "Dynamo" music video here: "Dynamo" is the second music video to be shared from Marr's latest album "Playland," following "Easy Money." "Playland" was released Oct. 7 and is Marr's second solo album overall, following his 2013 solo debut "The Messenger."

  • 8 Christmas Songs By Unexpected Artists

    Christmas music is typically the territory of Christian artists, country singers, or pop singers looking for a quick cash-in between proper studio albums (though that doesn't mean these cash-ins can't be great). However, there have been some strange cases where artists in other genres, such as rap, metal, and indie rock, have tried their hand at Christmas music as well. Here are eight Christmas songs or albums from unexpected artists.
  • The Gaslight Anthem Shares "1,000 Years" Music Video [WATCH]

    New Jersey punk band, The Gaslight Anthem, havs shared the music video for their song "1,000 Years" off of their latest album, 'Get Hurt,' which you can check out here. The video captures the band live in concert at Minneapolis' legendary First Avenue music club (you know, the one where Purple Rain took place) and features plenty of close-up shots of their enraptured audience. It's nothing remarkable, but it fits in well with the band's unflashy, grounded aesthetic.
