  • Keyshia Cole Shares 'New Nu' Music Vid [WATCH]

    R&B star Keyshia Cole has shared the music video for her Mike Will Made-It-produced single "New Nu," which you can check out below. The video features Cole and her friends in a pretty intense boys vs. girls paintball match, intercut with some — pretty ridiculous looking — shots of Cole standing in front of a green screen with diamonds and hundred-dollar bills cascading in the background. It is not entirely clear what paintball has to do with breaking up with a man who has done you wrong, but we will take it. You can check out Keyshia Cole's music video for "New Nu" here:
  • Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan Share New Track "M.O.M. (Mind On Money)" [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan have teamed up once again for a new track titled "M.O.M. (Mind On Money)," which you can check out below. If that title is any indication, the track is about money and how much these two love it (you know, hip-hop stuff). Though Thug and Quan's delivery is typically difficult to digest and inexplicably Autotuned, the beat itself is pretty nice.
  • Stone Temple Pilots's Scott Weiland Announces Album Release Date, Solo Tour [SCHEDULE]

    Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has announced the release date of his upcoming album "Blaster" as well as a string of tour dates in support of the album beginning in late February. According to an interview with "Rolling Stone," "Blaster" is set for release March 31 through Softdrive Records and will be Weiland's first album with his new backing band The Wildabouts. The tour in support of "Blaster" kicks off Feb. 22 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and finishes March 14 in Boston, though Weiland will be appearing at several festivals between March and May as well. "Blaster" will be Weiland's third solo album overall, his first since 2008's "'Happy' in Galoshes," as well as his first since being fired from the Stone Temple Pilots in 2013 — he was ultimately replaced by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. "'"Happy" in Galoshes' was an experimental art record, for the most part," Weiland tells "Rolling Stone." "'Blaster' is definitely a band sound: a stripped down, furry sound with a lot of space between the notes. But it's tight and to-the-point while keeping that garage rock vibe to it."
  • Tame Impala's Third Album To Drop Sometime This Year

    Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala quietly announced today that they will be releasing their highly anticipated third album at some point in 2015.

  • 8 Albums With Misleading Titles

    Though an album title shouldn't tell you explicitly what kind of music you're in for (where's the fun in that?), a title does have a subtle influence over how we hear an album, or how we expect it to fit into the artist's career arc. These eight albums, however, went with titles that ended up being misleading for either one of these reasons.
  • Syd Barrett's 'The Madcap Laughs': 13 Songs Ranked For Its 45th Anniversary

    Today, Jan. 3, marks the 45th anniversary of The Madcap Laughs, the debut solo album by original Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett. Other than being a remarkable album musically, The Madcap Laughs is also significant for being a surreal document of Barrett's mental health at the time, which had been steadily declining ever since his departure from Pink Floyd in 1968. To celebrate the anniversary of this incredible album, here are its 13 tracks ranked, from weakest to strongest.
  • Riff Raff Announces "JODYHIGHROLLER.com" Tour Dates [FULL SCHEDULE]

The tour kicks off on Jan. 21 in Athens, Georgia and finishes up in Seattle on Feb. 18, with stops in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix in between, among other places.
  • Jeremih Featured In Maejor's "Get You Alone" Music Video [WATCH]

    Detroit R&B singer, Maejor, has shared the music video for his new single, "Get You Alone" featuring Jeremih, which you can check out here. The video is pretty straightforward with Maejor singing the song near a hot tub while girls in bikinis smear glow in the dark paint over his body. Jeremih makes an appearance in the song's second half (it actually comes off like a completely different song entirely, which is pretty cool), singing/rapping about being "a fat kid for that fat ass," so you know this guy's a sweetheart.
  • Atmosphere Shares "January On The Lake" Music Video From Latest Album 'Southsiders' [WATCH]

    Minneapolis hip-hop duo, Atmosphere, have shared the music video for their song, "January On Lake Street," which you can check out here. The video follows a skateboarder riding around a city (presumably Minneapolis), intercut with slow motion shots of various people doing pretty much nothing. That description makes the video seem a bit boring, but it all ties together at the end in a tragic way (mini-spoiler alert: it's a lot like the end of Melancholia).
  • POP ETC. Shares New Song "Running In Circles," Announces New Album [LISTEN]

    Brooklyn-via-Berkeley indie rock group POP ETC (formerly the Morning Benders) have shared a new track titled "Running in Circles," which you can check out here. According to Stereogum, the track is the first to be shared from POP ETC's upcoming studio album, which is set for release later this year. Keeping up with the recent indie rock trend of paying homage to mainstream '80s rock artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, and Tom Petty (see: The War On Drugs, Ryan Adams), "Running In Circles" is a dancey, synth-heavy track that could easily be spun in a club, with a chorus that could legitimately be mistaken for a top 10 hit from 1985.
  • Rich Homie Quan Shares 'Flex' [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan has shared a new track titled "Flex," which you can check out below. The track was produced by Nitti Beatz and DJ Spinz and is backed by a pretty excellent electro beat, like a darker and more atmospheric version of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." Quan's performance is not bad either, often veering into — Auto-Tuned, of course — singing as much as straight-up rapping. You can check out Rich Homie Quan's "Flex" here, via "Miss Info":
