Stephen Colbert’s Late Show may be going away, but for one more school year it’ll be beaming celebrity chats and music performances into your home. The latest of those comes from Alex G, who played “Miracles” on the show back in 2022. With RCA debut Headlights out now, it was time for a return to the Ed Sullivan Theater for a run through “Afterlife,” the album’s lovely lead single and a somewhat poignant choice of song for a TV show that’s going off the air. Watch below.
Last year Rich Amiri released War Ready, which we called his best album yet. Now, the Boston rapper is back with “Paranoid,” his first new material since that.
In May, Maren Morris released her latest album Dreamsicle. The pop-country artist is sharing the deluxe version next week, but today we get a preview with the simultaneously scathing and encouraging tune “Be A Bitch.”
Recently Mariah Carey has been teasing new music on social media, dropping hints at “MC16” as well as previews of a song called “Sugar Sweet.” Now the news is official: Earlier this week the pop icon confirmed that her 16th studio album Here For It All arrives in September, and a new single “Sugar Sweet” is out today.
It’s Tame time. “End Of Summer,” the first Tame Impala single for new label home Columbia Records, is out now. The seven-minute track, previewed by Kevin Parker last month in a Barcelona DJ set, is a headfirst dive into dance music. Yet the music is a subtly percolating slow-build — the kind of song that sneaks up on you, not bashes you over the head. Even when things really get going near the end, it’s a different kind of rush than we’re used to hearing from Tame Impala. “Let It Happen” feels decidedly less clubby by comparison.
TOPS’ songs usually have a groove to them, but this new one “Annihilation” is groovy as hell. It’s the latest preview of their new album Bury The Key, following “ICU2,” “Chlorine,” and “Falling On My Sword,” and it’s only magnifying the anticipation.
Last month, John Maus announced Later Than You Think, his first new music since 2018’s Addendum. The experimental-pop musician has released “I Hate Antichrist” and “Because We Built It,” and today he’s back with “Came & Got.”
Sometimes you hear a song and can immediately imagine a crowd losing their shit to it. TWIABP’s new Dreams Of Being Dust single “Dissolving” summons that feeling. A lengthy buildup only intensifies the anticipation, and the release is vehement and big.
Last year Giant Day released their debut album Glass Narcissus. The Elephant 6 band is already back to announce its followup Alarm, and the antsy lead single “Devil Dog” is out now.
Justin Timberlake is facing backlash over his first-ever performance in Romania, which took place at Electric Castle festival in Transylvania on July 17. The star is currently on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, and videos of his unenthused demeanor and lack of singing at the show have now gone viral. The worst is ironically “Can’t Stop The Feeling,” in which he pulls his jacket hood over his head.
