Next Friday is Halloween, and it’s also the release date for the new Florence + The Machine album Everybody Scream. That should be fun! We’ve already heard the title track and “One Of The Greats,” and now Florence Welch has announced plans to hit arenas across North America next spring. If you’ve never seen Florence live, it’s a true spectacle. Her best songs sound huge, and she’s got the voice to deliver them. I don’t know if I would’ve expected her to headline arenas, but that sounds like a good night out to me. View the full article

Imogen Heap has magic brewing. Today, she’s released a new song called “I AM___,” which actually is a mega single combining the songs “What Have You Done To Me?,” “Noise,” and latest track “Aftercare” in a continuous piece, which is how it was originally meant to be heard. The song also comes with a 13:33-minute experimental music video by London-based Ukrainian director and editor Daria Korsak. View the full article

Florence Road are only getting better. The quartet from Wicklow, Ireland released their debut mixtape this past June and have continued their streak with a some one-off singles.

The fast-rising Chicago rapper/producer BabyChiefDoIt is an actual teeanger, and he looks like he’s in fifth grade. His music is extremely hard, and it draws on the tradition of Chicago drill that Chief Keef established more than a decade ago. But there’s something studied about BabyChief’s approach. He raps with crisp clarity and leans heavily on punchlines. His music is fun, in ways that aren’t tinged with the post-apocalyptic bleakness of that first drill wave. In the past year, BabyChief has scored big viral hits with tracks like “Went West” and “The Viper.” Today, he’s got a new EP called Warning Shot. View the full article

Last month Norwegian indie-pop musician Anna Of The North released the glistening, perfect-for-a-night-out anthem “Waiting For Love.” It was the follow-up to another funky one-off “Give Me Your Love Back.” Both are great songs to dance in the mirror to (speaking from personal experience). Today, she’s back with another undeniable pop banger called “Call Me.” View the full article

The crispy, fussy, singular Chicago rapper Valee is once again operating at peak capacity. Valee is making a lot of music these days, and he’s fully tapped back into the singular flow that made him a figure of great online interest around the time that “Womp Womp” dropped in 2018. Last year, Valee teamed up with MVW, a former contemporary classical composer who reinvented himself as an underground rap producer, to release the beautifully titled collaborative album, Valeedation. A few months ago, Valee appeared on the MVW-produced Boldy James track “Whatchu Think.” Now, Valee and MVW are running it back and dropping another collaborative album. View the full article

Back in August, Paramore leader Hayley Williams released her solo album Ego Death At The Bachelorette Party. Williams has done a whole lot of interviews to promote the record, but she doesn’t seem to have any plans to tour behind the record. When she does perform those songs live, however, they go hard.

In 2009, wily pop star Lily Allen released her magnum opus It’s Not Me, It’s You. It was campy and searing and irreverent and honest. Sixteen years later, she’s come full circle with an album that’s completely different, but just as significant (upon first listen). West End Girl‘s closer “Fruityloops” finds Allen coming to terms with the devastation of a relationship whirlwind. “It’s not me, it’s you/ It’s what you’ve always done, it’s what you’ll do,” she sings during the slinky bossa nova chorus. West End Girl isn’t as energized or cheeky as It’s Not Me, It’s You, but it is her strongest and most cohesive album since. Here, Allen trades in diverse, playful soundscapes for woozy and cinematic compositions that emphasize her brutal lyrical revelations. View the full article
