John Legend has unveiled a new single off his forthcoming album. "Made to Love," co-written by Legend and Dave Tozer, describes the song's subject (fiancée Chrissy Teigen?) as a work of art.
To mark Father's Day, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have re-released their 2010 track, "Stay At Home Dad," which was initially produced for their Vs EP. The cut pays tribute to the dads who stay home taking care of the kids while their other half brings home the bacon. In true Macklemore fashion, the song pushes back against stereotypes of gender roles, something of a hot topic recently as new data shows females are increasingly becoming the breadwinner of their household.

Mayer Hawthorne on Thursday unveiled a new track just in time for Father's Day, a tribute to his own dad titled "Reach Out Richard," produced by Pharrell Williams. It's a soulful, funky tune that seems to play very well to the duo's individual strengths.
Following his hints earlier in the week that he would be dropping a new single, Pusha T on Thursday unleashed a new cut off his forthcoming album, My Name is My Name. The new track, "Who I Am," features Big Sean and 2 Chainz, and it was produced by none other than Kanye West.
It's official. The Civil Wars will return with their self-titled album on Aug. 6. After making clear last month that they intended to release another album this summer, the duo on Tuesday made official the release date. But they didn't do so empty-handed. Following days of teasing, the pair comprised of Joy Williams and John Paul White unveiled a new track titled "The One That Got Away."
Newcomer Alan Wilkis on Tuesday unleashed a fresh new track titled "More Than Normal," a collaboration with Childish Gambino. The pair reportedly recorded each of their parts and traded back and forth via the Web, according to Indie Shuffle.
As the momentum builds leading up to the official release of Born Sinner, J. Cole's new album, the MC streamed the album Thursday night in New York. But if you weren't fortunate to be there, you are in luck. The 16-track standard version is now streaming in full below.
Yes, it's early in the week. But it's going to be hard this week to top J. Cole's new cut, "Crooked Smile," featuring TLC. Yes, TLC. The track, which dropped on Tuesday, is the perfect dose of '90s R&B meshed with fresh verses by the rising prince.
On the track, TLC's T-Boz and Chilli proclaim: "You're the one that was tryna keep me way down/ But like the sun know you know I found my way back round."
It's gold. Listen below. Born Sinner arrives—in case you've forgotten—on June 18.
Perhaps your Monday has only reminded you that you've got to endure the entire month of June before you get to enjoy another national holiday break. If you're a fan of Jimmy Eat World, you're in luck. The band today began streaming their forthcoming album, Damage, a week ahead of its official release.
Portugal. The Man is ready to return, and the Portland-based band is looking to make quite the impression. Their new record, Evil Friends, produced by the one and only Danger Mouse (Jack White, The Black Keys, Norah Jones). Not only does the producer (aka Brian Burton) have a notably golden touch, but the band is offering some of their best material since their 2005 inception.
J. Cole on Friday unleashed another new track ahead of his forthcoming album, Born Sinner. The new cut, "Niggaz Know," certainly acknowledges how far he's come since his 2011 debut album, but the track still sounds raw and somewhat like a confessional.

We already love Capital Cities, and—regardless of your thoughts on their golden hit single "Safe and Sound"—this new cut takes it to the next level. Ahead of their forthcoming album, A Tidal Wave of Mystery, the band has unveiled one of the set's much-hyped tracks, "Farrah Fawcett Hair," featuring André 3000.
