Hey there music lover! You like new stuff? Great! You’ve stumbled into the perfect corner of the internet. Each week all sorts of audiolicious goodies are unleashed onto the masses and this is where they come to be judged. I’ll tell ya what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s a waste of your precious time. So strap on your headphones and let’s take a ride!
The Big News
Doesn’t get any bigger than this, folks: Seventy four year old icon of stage and screen Barbara Streisand unveils her first album in a couple of years, Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, an album of duets between Babs and actors like Alec Baldwin and Melissa McCarthy. It is the follow-up to her 2014 duets album, Partners, which featured Streisand singing with other musicians.
Supporting Actresses
Celine Dion returns with her first French album since 2012, Encore un soir.
Britney’s back (I’m probably supposed to say “bitches” here or something) with her ninth record, Glory. Which, I mean, good for her, that’s great, but, honestly…
I’m probably gonna prefer It Doesn’t Have to Make Sense, the new record by Ingrid Michaelson.
Mixed Up
De la Soul still doin’ what they do. …and the Anonymous Nobody is the dope rappers’ first release since 2012.
Country crooners Florida Georgia Line won’t go away. Dig Your Roots is their third album I hope I never hear.
A new Cass McCombs album is never far away. And that’s a good thing. Mangy Love is out this week.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Veils.
And new Glass Animals,
RIP
This is the part where we say goodbye to those who’ve hit their last high note. Rock on and rest in peace, brothers and sisters.
