• Tank Vents About Disappointing 'Stronger' Album Sales, Calls It His 'Last Real R&B Album'

    Low album sales can be disappointing for anyone, but Tank took it pretty badly when his latest album Stronger sold just 16,621 copies in its first week. He took to Instagram to vent his frustrations, calling the release his "last real R&B album." In a lengthy caption posted with a selfie, Tank questioned his fans and the genre of R&B as a whole. He even revealed that Atlantic Records will not be funding further promotion of the project and noted a decline in musicianship for the sake of sales. "The artist that don't give a f--k sale the most and do the most! Should that be my new route? Maybe I should have been born white then all of my music would go straight mainstream and pop radio instead of urban ac. A format that continues to kill the true R&B artist! (Not mad at white artist just to be clear!)"

  • Clean Bandit Releases 'Stronger' from Special Edition of 'New Eyes' [REVIEW]

    Clean Bandit took over the radio waves in 2014 with their January single "Rather Be" featuring Jess Glyne. The song soared to the top of the U.K. charts — a first for the band — cracked the "Billboard" Top 10 and helped land them on festival stages worldwide while propelling the release of their artist album "New Eyes." Now they have unveiled a new track, "Stronger," from the special edition re-release of the album, which will also include a reworking of Robin S's classic "Show Me Love." While the album was not as well-received as their singles work, "Stronger" shows the same ability to create inescapably catchy singles that Clean Bandit have become known for. "Stronger" starts off with similar organ chords that were found in "Rather Be" but soon switches to a more traditional house piano that carries the melody of the song. Balancing their classical background with the deep grooves needed for a house song, they inject a measure of musicality into the track with sweeping violin strings over a shuffling bass line and deep synth stabs.
