Charli XCX – “I Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day And Night”

Yesterday, Charli XCX returned with the polarizing, ragebaity anthem “Rock Music.” The Brat star is getting ready for a new era, and she’s already sharing the b-side titled “I Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day And Night.” It’s only available on vinyl and her b-sides Instagram account. “‘i keep thinking about you every single…

The Rolling Stones’ New Album Also Has An Amy Winehouse Cover

We’re still learning new things about the Rolling Stones’ upcoming album Foreign Tongues. After teasing the record’s existence for weeks and dropping the stealth single “Rough And Twisted,” the band finally let us know that the album will be out in July. At an event with Conan O’Brien earlier this week, the band had more to say. Now, we know that Foreign Tongues includes songs that the Stones recorded with Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, the Cure’s Robert Smith, and their late drummer Charlie Watts. Apparently, there will be an Amy Winehouse cover on there, too.

COUCOU CHLOE – “Candyland”

COUCOU CHLOE started off the year with “Venom.” Now, the London-based artist has returned with “Candyland,” a hype-heavy and woozy nightmare of a single. The sound is terrifying, but so is the video: there’s clown masks, blurred out faces, and strobe-lighting that screams homemade slasher film than club. Self-produced and sonically unhinged, “Candyland” pushes COUCOU…

RaiNao – “GRIS”

Puerto Rican artist RaiNao has returned with her first single of the year.
