Music Overload: June 2, 2019

New singles, upcoming albums, chart-topping tracks, and a lot of green-screen usage. Let’s get right to it with fresh material from Tyler, The Creator, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, and more! 

STUNNING NEW MUSIC VIDEO FROM BANKS!

Banks’ electrifying new single and dazzling music video for “Gimme” are both out now! This marks the first single from the upcoming full length record III, and is the latest release since 2017’s standalone track “Underdog”.

Will we hear that on the new album? Guess we gotta wait and see! For now, here’s “Gimme” and let me know how you feel about the new direction of her sound! 


A 90’S CLASSIC RE-IMAGINED BY HERVE PAGEZ, DIPLO, AND CHARLI XCX!

In a promise to release new music consistently over the next five months, pop professional Charli XCX teams up with Herve Pagez and Diplo on the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe”- influenced (and aptly titled) new single: “Spicy”. Anyone remember when she covered this at Lollapalooza with Halsey? I’m totally not surprised that this remake was inevitable.

Miss XCX is clearly a roll right now, from her recent collaboration with Lizzo to her work with the band Nasty Cherry. This surprise single does not disappoint, and the queen of 90’s nostalgia does it again. Watch the visual for “Spicy” below!


CHART-CRUSHING ALBUM RELEASE FROM TYLER, THE CREATOR!

As if Igor wasn’t already interesting enough, along with Tyler, The Creator’s latest album release, we’ve got an accompanying music video. With a special cameo from the incredible Tracee Ellis Ross (of “Black-ish” and of course, the Ross family dynasty lol), the video is obviously pretty good.

Take some time to enjoy the hilariously dated (and fiery) new visual for  “EARFQUAKE” – the first single released from Tyler, The Creator’s Billboard-topping album Igor. The record was written, produced, and arranged by the man himself, so it’s certainly worth the appreciation. Take a listen when you can, and make sure you watch “EARFQUAKE” today! 


HOT GIRL MEG STUNS IN TARANTINO-INSPIRED VIDEO!

The H-Town Hottie strikes again, and fully delivers in the new video for her latest single “Realer”. Megan Thee Stallion shared the video a few days after the release of her official debut album Fever, which actually just dropped on May 17 through 300 Entertainment.

If it seems like there’s no way that can be her first record, it’s because 2018’s EP Tina Snow birthed the classics “Freak Nasty”, “Cocky Af”, and of course “Big Ole Freak”. Well, with her loyal “hotties” backing her moves (me), I’m sure this is only just the beginning for the SXSW breakout rapper and you can see why by checking out “Realer” below!


SELECT TOUR DATES FROM ELUSIVE SYNTHPOP SENSATIONS LADYTRON!

Please send flowers, because I am DEAD! I never in a million years thought I’d get to see Ladytron again, and in my adult life. The only time I’ve managed to catch them live was back Atlanta in 2011. This band single-handedly changed the way I perceive music, and I can accredit my preferences to the year I discovered their work – 2005. I may have been a little late then, but the album Witching Hour contains some of the best production and composition I’ve ever heard in my life. I am absolutely treating myself to this exclusive opportunity, and I hope you’ll consider the same!

TWO SOUNDCLOUD-EXCLUSIVE TRACKS FROM DOJA CAT!

Despite wallowing in some serious concert remorse, I think I’ll survive missing Doja Cat’s show here last weekend and I’ll try to just enjoy the music at hand. If you haven’t already given it a whirl, make sure you listen to the recently re-issued Doja Cat record Amala, which has been upgraded and released again to feature the viral smash hits “Moo”, “Tia Tamera”, and more. These next two tracks however, are streaming exclusively on Soundcloud and you can check them out now! Here’s “Dick” and “u w u”. 

Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to follow me on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with what’s next for me!
