  • NEW MUSIC: JOHN LEGEND, NAS & FLORIAN PICASSO | TOMORROW

    Last year, John Legend toured his 2020 album "Bigger Love" and had a relatively quiet year, but today, though, he breaks that silence with an extensive new single. The new track is titled "Tomorrow," not to be confused with the same name from his 2013 album "Love In The Future." This one collaborates with legend Nas and Florian Picasso, the French DJ and record producer. The song is right in John Legend’s lane, and Nas continues his stellar form with his pair of verses that almost make it feel like his song. The new record is out early in some international markets. Milk & Honey is co-executive producing a run of NFTs from Picasso's granddaughter. John Legend, Nas and Picasso's great-grandson have contributed the song "Tomorrow" to the project, the first from Picasso’s non-fungible period. Philanthropist Marina Picasso and her son Florian Picasso, a DJ and producer, will release the first five sets of 200 NFTs. They will issue a 1-of-1 NFT with exclusive artwork from Marina Picasso's private collection via Sotheby's. A group of 10 pieces will be released via Nifty Gateway. The collection is the first in a series from the Picassos featuring collaborations from prominent musicians. "Tomorrow,” produced and co-written by Milk & Honey client Stuart Price.

  • NEW ALBUM: KORN | REQUIEM

    Having formed in 1993 and put out 13 albums to date, KORN has come a long way since their self-titled album was released back in 1994. Known for making nu-metal mainstream before the likes of Slipknot and Linkin Park came along, the band has sold 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammys, and toured the world countless times across an illustrious career. They have also experimented a lot over the years, making it no surprise that their newly released album "Requiem" won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Made up of nine songs and clocking in at a total runtime of over half an hour, Requiem is very short. However, KORN uses their time well. Opening track Forgotten sounds like something off of 1998’s Follow The Leader, with heavy guitars, twisty bass guitars and gang vocals. Those who haven’t been fans of their newer work or who think the band has lost their prime should be gladly surprised by this album. The 90s-esque Lost In The Grandeur is an album highlight. It starts with a frantic drum introduction before all hell breaks loose in the instrument department, with dirty basslines and guitar riffs contrasting with the clean vocals. KORN will celebrate the arrival of its new album, "Requiem," with a special record-release event this coming February 3 at the Hollywood United Methodist Church in Los Angeles, California. "Requiem Mass" will see the Southern California heavy music pioneers perform an intimate set in front of 300 attendees.

  • NEW MUSIC: ISAIAH FIREBRACE | WHEN I'M WITH YOU (FEAT. EVIE IRIE)

    X-Factor winner, Eurovision contestant and Indigenous Australian singer Isaiah Firebrace and Evie Irie has released their song "When I'm With You" to perform at "Eurovision - Australia Decides" 2022 on the Gold Coast. In October 2021, Isaiah was revealed as one of the first artists set to compete at "Eurovision - Australia Decides." Isaiah previously represented Australia at Eurovision in 2017 in Kyiv with "Don't Come Easy," which finished in 9th place in the Grand Final. The song has been officially released in Australia. Evie Irie was revealed as Isaiah's partner just last week, where to celebrate, the pair skydived to celebrate their collaboration. The pair co-wrote their Australia Decides song together with Taka Perry. Isaiah Firebrace shared his experience working with Evie: "We wrote the song together, we jumped out of a plane together, and we want to represent Australia together. Being together is what the song is all about and what the world needs right now. I’m incredibly proud to being doing this with Evie - she’s so unique and so special... wait until the world gets to know her like I have!!!” Isaiah transformed his life from a small-town singer to one of the finest soul voices to come out of Australia. Along the way, he’s won The X Factor, represented Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest (finishing 9th), and solidified himself as one of the world's highest-streamed First Nations pop artists.

  • NEW ALBUM: NAT KING COLE | UNFORGETTABLE WITH LOVE (30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION)

    The 30th anniversary of Natalie Cole’s multiple Grammy-winning and multi-platinum "Unforgettable…With Love" is marked by a special edition from Craft Recordings. The centrepiece of the newly remastered 1991 album was Cole’s electronic duet with her father, Nat King Cole, on the song “Unforgettable.” The newly remastered version of the song went to No.1 on the Billboard 200, won seven Grammys (including Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Unforgettable”) and was certified 7x platinum by the RIAA in the US alone. Produced by Tommy LiPuma, David Foster, and André Fischer, the album featured Cole’s interpretations of many of her father’s signature songs, including “Nature Boy,” “Route 66,” and “Mona Lisa.” She was accompanied on piano by her uncle, Ike Cole, and lush orchestral arrangements. In her 40-year career, Cole released 23 studio albums, selling over 30 million copies worldwide. Natalie Cole was a singer who found success as a singer in her own right, avoiding the looming shadow of her father, Nat “King” Cole, by mostly avoiding recording music primarily associated with him, namely the Great American Songbook. When her first album was released in 1975, her sound owed more to Aretha Franklin than Nat “King” Cole. Her early singles, including “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” and “Mr. Melody,” were funky, soulful affairs, her powerful, expressive voice adopting the gospel-hewn call of R&B singers.

  • NEW ALBUM: ONE REPUBLIC | ONE NIGHT IN MALIBU (FULL)

    Widely popular Colorado-born pop band OneRepublic has released their new “worldwide digital experience,” called "One Night in Malibu." The event aired on Wednesday, October 27th, with re-broadcasts on Thursday, October 28th; the band performed a 17 song set featuring tracks from their brand new album, "Human," with two different setups an added string section. The performance took place in Malibu, CA, bringing a cinematic, large-scale and captivating live music experience to fans worldwide. The worldwide digital version was to celebrate the release of our latest album, "Human." The band released the 12-track album, "Human," in August, which was preceded by the release of the singles "Rescue Me," "Wanted," "Didn't I," "Better Days," "Run," and " Someday." Grammy-nominated OneRepublic released their debut set, "Dreaming Out Loud," in 2007. The release included the 20mm selling smash single “Apologize,” which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide and received a Grammy nomination. The band’s sophomore album, 2009’s "Waking Up," produced the hit singles “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets,” and “Good Life.” The 8X certified-platinum album "Native" followed in 2013, featuring the No.1 hit and 41 million-selling single “Counting Stars.” OneRepublic released "Oh My My," their fourth full-length album in 2016. OneRepublic has amassed 5B streams on Spotify to date.

  • NEW ALBUM: BASTILLE | GIVE ME THE FUTURE

    Bastille has released their wildly ambitious and brilliantly bold fourth album "Give Me The Future." The British band works to push its sound past its poppy origins, crafting a collection of beat-heavy, dance-oriented tracks. It feels therapeutic for the band, which used the concept of the future to make sense of and live through the chaos of the present. On the album's 13 tracks, Bastille finds itself relating to film characters and pop culture, employing a series of musical interludes to break up the journey to the future tastefully. Best known for synth- and guitar-led singles like “Pompeii” or “Things We Lost In The Fire,” the band’s opening track, “Distorted Light Beam,” immediately chart a new path. “Thelma + Louise” take escapism in a different direction. To the southern border, to be exact, like Thelma and Louise themselves in the iconic feminist film. Decrying modern life by calling it a letdown, Bastille traverses the Southwestern desert to the sound of its heart exploding. “Back To The Future” references the 1985 film, as well as “Blade Runner,” “1984,” and, indirectly, “The Wizard of Oz.” If you’re familiar with any of these, there’s no explanation needed as to why their futuristic themes like time travel or unrelenting government surveillance garnered a mention. There’s a sense of uneasiness yet resilience sewn through the album’s remaining tracks that feature more dystopian scenarios, such as on “Future Holds” (featuring BIM) and A.I.-like vocal effects on “Stay Awake.” Though the album may not conjure the exact hits as Bastille’s previous efforts, "Give Me The Future" is a musical step forward.

  • ARTIST OF THE MONTH: JANET JACKSON | RHYTHM NATION 1814 (1989)

    In 1982, Janet Jackson released her self-titled debut album, followed quickly by "Dream Street" in 1984. Both efforts failed to create the kind of seismic impact that usually accompanied releases by her brothers, perhaps to the surprise of no one. Then in 1986, deciding to take the reins of her life, her career and its trajectory, Jackson released "Control," an album that went on to be a worldwide smash, to the surprise of everyone, but perhaps not its creator. With over 10 million copies sold and five Top 5 hits, Jackson stepped out of the long showbiz shadow cast by her brothers and claimed her place in the spotlight. As massive of a hit as "Control" was, the pressure was on Jackson to release a follow-up that would chart just as well, if not better. But as she had done with Control, she decided to make the album she wanted rather than a carbon copy of what had worked before. Working with producers and confident confidants Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis by her side, the trio bunkered down during the winter of 1989 at Flyte Tyme Studios in Minneapolis to make an album that could inspire a generation to become more socially conscious of the world they live in and the part they can play. And so the album opens with a tolling bell and moody atmospherics while this newly formed nation’s “Pledge” is recited. Jackson lays out her intent for this new society stating, “We are a nation with no geographic boundaries, bound together through our beliefs. We are like-minded individuals, sharing a common vision, pushing toward a world rid of colour lines." If the pledge was the equivalent of the Pledge of Allegiance, then “Rhythm Nation” was the National Anthem. Pumping out of the speakers, “Rhythm Nation” is a tour de force of metallic tribal beats, drum loops and samples featuring Sly and The Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” and Jackson’s hits from the "Control" album. The song deftly marches the fine line of being rousing without being preachy, capturing the ideology and purpose behind Jackson’s message all wrapped up in a hard to sit still groove. The first single from the outing, “Miss You Much,” was the bridge between the dance orientation of "Control" and the new direction of RN1814, the record label, and maybe even fans pined for. Its instantly catchy groove and playful vocal delivery primed, this dancefloor filler bubbles with pop-funk and sweeps the listener away with its airy vocal melodies and ode to new love. The slinky bassline of “Love Will Never Do Without You” seduces with ease as Jackson sings about the desire for a fulfilling love, even one against the odds. Jackson delivers one of her finest moments on record with a shimmering arrangement beneath her. Closing the album's midpoint with “Living In A World,” Jackson frees up the second half of the project to explore a brighter side of existence, kicking off with the jubilant, springing “Alright” with its New Jack Swing groove and acid house inspired loops and squeaky bass. “Escapade,” with its pure pop sensibility, is smile-inducing. Jackson’s playful personality is perfectly captured on record and underpinned by an irresistible chorus and double clap accompaniment. Its light and airy feel is the perfect counterpoint to the heaviness of the album openers. Just as the album opened with a trio of songs focusing on social consciousness, the album closes with another trio of songs focusing on relationships, love, and sexuality. “Lonely” leads the pack with a slow jam of densely stacked harmonies and swaying melodies. “Come Back To Me” is a pleading ballad of lament and longing, and “Someday Is Tonight” is the sexual climax of "Control’s" “Let’s Wait A While,” where Jackson delivers on the promise of being “worth the wait.” Sensual and breathy, Jackson seduces and pulls you in, setting the tone for her more sexual slow-burn songs that would close out many of her albums that would follow this. "Rhythm Nation 1814" is perhaps a perfect encapsulation of Janet Jackson. In many ways, it became the blueprint for her albums that would follow both in structure and sequencing. Over thirty years later, Janet Jackson’s "Rhythm Nation 1814" is still a landmark album. It still resonates. And sadly, it reflects many of the ills that still plague us. It’s both a time capsule and a mirror. A movement for the heart and mind. It’s a near-flawless album. One that pulled Jackson once and for all out of the shadows of her elder siblings and made her a bonafide superstar who can still sell out arenas to this day. It’s an important milestone not only in Jackson’s career but in the musical landscape in general. And when talk centers around great albums with a social conscience, it deserves to be included.

  • NEW MUSIC: RENFORTSHORT | MOSHPIT

    19-year-old pop princess Renforshort has premiered a brand new single called "Moshpit," a gentle reminder that we usually know what the best thing to do for ourselves is, but knowing you should leave someone doesn't make it any easier to do. Co-produced by frequent collaborators Jeff Hazin and Alexander 23, it marks the first new music from Ren (real name Lauren Isenberg) since last year’s "Off Saint Dominique" EP. Speaking on the track, Ren said: “I started working on ‘Moshpit’ on a day that I was really overwhelmed with life in general. This song feels very unique in the writing, it’s an interesting analogy especially with the juxtaposition of the track being a bit softer rather than what you’d imagine a song called ‘Moshpit’ would sound like. She continued: “It’s about an annoying relationship where you’re treated like garbage and just keep trying to get out, but you don’t wanna risk hurting the other person’s feelings.” The single arrives with a darkly cinematic visual that follows Ren through a series of isolated scenarios. Directed by Zach Bailey. Renfortshort got her to start playing open-mic nights in local bars and released two independent singles before she’d even graduated high school. At the peak of the pandemic, she shared her debut EP "Teenage Angst," brimming with seven soul-baring, alt-pop bangers influenced by everyone from Nirvana to Amy Winehouse.

  • NEW MUSIC: ARLO PARKS | SOFTLY

    British singer-songwriter Arlo Parks premiered a new song, “Softly,” her first single since her debut album “Collapsed in Sunbeams,” in January 2021. “'Softly' is a song about yearning, about how fragile you feel in the dying days of a relationship when you're still desperately in love,” Arlo Parks said of the song in a statement. “The song is about how it feels to brace yourself before the blow of a break-up and reminisce about the days where it all felt luminous.” Discussing the development of her songcraft in a 2021 interview, Parks said: “My sonic palettes and tastes have definitely expanded, and the kind of music that I want to make has changed. But I think internally, the way that I write my lyrics, the way that I put songs together, is still that very personal, intimate, intentional way of doing things.” Arlo Parks will soon set off on an extensive worldwide tour starting on February 16th. As she explained back in a September interview, Parks hopes to spend 2022 writing new material and sharing her music with fans across the Atlantic and elsewhere: “I’m doing a lot of writing, and it’s going to be a lot of touring for me – to be honest,” she said. “I’ll be going to America and sharing the music with the world.” 2021 was a big year for Arlo Parks. As well as winning the coveted Mercury Prize, she also received the award for Best New Artists at the BRITs.

  • NEW ALBUM: BAD SUNS | APOCALYPSE WHENEVER

    Bad Suns have released their fourth studio album, "Apocalypse Whenever." The album was conceived as "the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't yet exist." "Apocalypse Whenever," tells a story of a protagonist as they wash up on the shores of a fictionalized Los Angeles. Apocalypse Whenever is undoubtedly a selection box of treats – the only danger is that it's so sweet it could make you a little bit ill. Songs like When The World Was Mine and Summer Lightning have that addictive sugar rush; cute chorus over well-packaged, brightly-coloured verses, all electronically washed to the point that you can see your flushed face reflected at you. Guitars? If you've found them, it means you're paying attention. Even though both Ray Libby and frontman Christo Bowman are equipped with six-strings, some of these tracks require a dog's hearing to pick up much beyond the occasional solo. But let’s not miss the point. This fourth album isn’t about chunky musical statements and rigid rock posturing – it’s about deft songs, exciting and memorable hooks, plus lots of little melodic pay-offs that you don’t necessarily appreciate until a second or third play. Many great albums can boast the latter. This, in truth, is unlikely ever to be considered a great album, but it’s got enough life-affirming tunes to keep the frost out this winter. Bad Suns kick off their tour on Jan. 28 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with Kid Bloom and Little Image support.

  • NEW MUSIC: LIAM FERRARI | M.I.A

    Australian singer, songwriter and dancer Liam Ferrari has released his first single of 2022. Titled 'MIA,' the song was released on January 28th. The single is a follow-up to her collaborative track with Carda in "Giving You Half," released in March last year. 'MIA' is written by Liam Ferrari, Joey Cirillo and Mikey Dam. Joey Cirillo also serves as producer alongside Dylan Nash. 'MIA' itself is presented by Liam as a melancholic anthem-pop R&B ballad. In December 2021, Liam Ferrari shared on social media, “I had a year of patience. Learning to not be so hard on myself for not being as creative as I can be. Being locked down made me lazy and very hard on myself. I promised myself a month ago then when 2022 starts, the old me will be back better than ever. We all have our moments, some long, some short, but we will get there. Love you all, new music next month.” Having always been passionate about singing alongside his dancing, Liam tested his dreams. He released his debut single "Run To You" in October 2017, which saw the young star hit popular Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday and Hot Hits in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, which lined him up for his second single with Tyron Hapi, "I Like The Way." "I Like The Way" made its way onto almost every New Music Friday playlist in the world, along with 59K other playlists during the first month of its release, and has racked up over 24M streams on Spotify alone.

  • NEW ALBUM: PNB ROCK | SOUNDCLOUD DAZE

    After dropping his "2 Get You Thru The Rain" EP in December, PnB Rock returns and drops a collaborative mixtape called "SoundCloud Daze," which features up-and-coming SoundCloud talent PnB sought to highlight. Created as a nod to the platform that kickstarted PnB Rock’s career, the “High” crooner used his A&R talent to tap Pasto Flocco, Yung Fazo, TennisboyWiLL and IAYZE for the project. “I know what it’s like to be trying to get your music out there, and for me, it’s easy to tap in with the new wave and help them out,” PnB Rock said of the mixtape in a press release. “Their music is also fire, so it’s a no-brainer for me.” PnB Rock’s last EP, "2 Get You Thru The Rain," dropped on December 8, 2021, and included Young Thug, Lil Baby, and DJ Luke Nasty features. The six-track EP was the first body of work from the “Selfish” singer since 2019’s "TrapStar Turnt PopStar." He hasn’t appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 since that project dropped, and before the release of "2 Get You Thru The Rain," had only appeared as a feature on 2021 HipHopDX Rising Star DDG’s "Die 4 Respect," lending his talents to the Hitmaka-produced track “Get What You Want.” The 30-year-old also made headlines last December for crashing his Rolls Royce. PnB Rock was caught on video backing the car into his driveway when he hit the gas a bit too hard, slamming into what he claimed was a house. “If you can’t take a loss, you ain’t no fuckin boss little n-gga,” he captioned the video before the crash.

  • NEW ALBUM: DAVID MORALES | LIFE IS A SONG

    With more than 500 original productions and remixes and two Grammy awards to his name, David Morales is one of America’s most iconic and prolific DJ/producers. Now 59 years old, the Brooklyn native has released new music with a new album titled "Life Is A Song."

The album delivers on some of the things that fans have known him for over the years. There are many soaring, uplifting, hands in the air vocal house songs like “Never Give Up” and “Easy.” Those songs have a classic sound without feeling dated or rehashed. "Life Is A Song" does offer something a little different when you hit the middle. Some South African-styled deep houses on tracks like “Hela” and “What Can I Do.” The soaring melodies and vocals return with “Never Looking Back” before finding a gentle piano and drum-driven calm on “Second Chance.” The disco flourishes and gospel influences help close out the album with one final salvo of good times on “I Can Dream” and the title track, “Life Is A Song.” Morales has shown that house music can get better with age. He sounds revitalized with his first album in 10 years, working with great vocalists and collaborators to capture a sound that feels timeless.

  • NEW ALBUM: GLAIVE | OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS (DELUXE EDITION)

    Glaive has released "old dog, new tricks," the deluxe version of the breakout star’s much-lauded 2021 EP, all dogs go to heaven." The project features five new songs. Glaive says, “Deluxe is good. The music is good. Life is good. Can’t wait to go out and play these songs live.” Furthermore, glaive’s first-ever headline tour of North America kicks off next week with dates including Los Angeles’ The Fonda and New York’s Webster Hall. The deluxe edition follows a banner 2021 for glaive.

The duo played a sold-out run of dates this past fall with stops including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Glaive has received tons of critical acclaim since he first burst onto the scene. Says The New York Times, “More tense than a tug of war and more fun than a loop-the-loop, [‘i wanna slam my head against the wall’] is an evolutionary leap for the young hyperpop star glaive, who is finding the middle ground between the scene’s mayhem and the sweetness of pop.” glaive is a vocalist, songwriter, and producer from the mountains of North Carolina who began making music at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, releasing his first song on SoundCloud in April 2020. His rise since has been meteoric, supported by a steady stream of new music that has quickly earned him acclaim.

  • NEW ALBUM: NIJA | DON'T SAY I DON'T I DIDN'T WARN YOU

    Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Nija has released her debut solo project, "Don't Say I Didn't Warn You." The New Jersey-born artist's 10-song offering was executive produced by Jack Rochon (6LACK, Shelley FKA DRAM) and features previously released singles "Ease My Mind (Come Over)," "Finesse," and "On Call." “There’s a stigma against songwriters turning into artists because usually, they give all their sauce away,” Nija said in a press release about the album. “But I’ve always made sure I went above and beyond people’s expectations, so don’t say I didn’t warn you about that.” Achieving a lifetime’s worth of success before 30, Nija equates her meteoric rise with an at times unfulfilling “drug high.” “Reaching all that success so early and quickly, it’s like, ‘Okay, what’s next? What’s the next big thing?’” she says. “When you knock out a lot of those people so early on, it’s like, ‘What do I do next?’ I’ve reached my goals and worked with people I felt were unreachable as a kid. That’s also why I get the success that I do because I’m always striving for more.” “I intentionally did a double meaning,” Nija says of the album’s title. “One, everyone knows I’m a songwriter, and I feel like there’s a big stigma that songwriters don’t do well as artists and give their best songs away. I’m saying, ‘don’t say I didn’t warn you to the music industry. Also to consumers, telling them to take me seriously because the music is that good.”

  • NEW MUSIC: KAILEE MORGUE | ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE

    Rising indie-alt-pop artist Kailee Morgue kicks off 2022 with a new fantastic single, “Another Day In Paradise,” featured along with an official video. The new track is her second release since signing to the label. Morgue previously shared the music video for “Butterflies,” the first release from Kailee after signing with Thriller Records, totalling over 107,000 views on YouTube. Here is what Kailee said of the track, “I wrote ‘Another Day in Paradise’ on the couch with my boyfriend talking about how hard it is to feel normal in a place like Los Angeles. I’m never one to make a song that’s as sad as it might seem, so I approached it with a sarcastic point of view and some of that 90s attitude, using repetition in the bridge to mirror how it feels waking up every morning in a city where everything and nothing is happening all the time.” This begins an incredible new era for the Phoenix-born LA resident who has already amassed a rabid core fan base with fast-rising TikTok followers since her 2018 breakout track “Medusa” via Republic Records. Stay tuned for more Kailee Morgue news coming soon. Kailee first began posting on her YouTube channel in late 2015 and started with covers of songs. Her most popular cover is "Spirit Desire" by Tigers Jaw. In January 2017, Morgue tweeted a preview of "Medusa" that went viral. Later that year, Morgue signed a deal with Republic Records.

    Alt-rock band The Maine teamed up with rock band Taking Back Sunday and singer-songwriter Charlotte Sands to release a new song, “Loved You A Little," with an accompanying music video directed by Guadalupe Bustos. John O'Callaghan had this to say, "This song is for anyone feeling like they wasted their time on a feeling. Adam and Charlotte both gave that sentiment more energy than I could have ever imagined, and now we get to share it all with you." Lazzara shared, "It's been a privilege to have been able to see and hear the growth The Maine have shown throughout their career, and even more to have all the while call them friends. I've always been impressed with how focused and hardworking they are. "When they reached out about 'Loved You A Little,' I was excited because there was a global pandemic, and I needed something to do. What makes me proud of being a part of it is a little of the same things I admire in them rubbed off on me. In a way, It helped to remind me of who I wanted to be when I'd have been hard-pressed to feel any further away from that." Sands added, "It was such an honour to be a part of "Loved You A Little," and I am still pinching myself at the idea that I'm singing on a song with two of my favourite singers and bands of all time and they've both been and continue to be huge inspirations for me as a writer, performer, and artist."

I’ve been keeping this one near and dear for almost two years now, and I am so beyond delighted to share it with you all.” “A Dream I’ll Forget” opens on emerging, oozing synths topped by Wright’s melancholic tones, imbuing the lyrics with stylish, whisper-laced timbres mirroring her inner aching heart.
