With only days left until his highly anticipated debut album, A$AP Rocky's bonus cut with Florence Welch has now been released for listening. "I Come Apart", a heartache-heavy track, strikes the perfect balance between Welch's emotional power ballad sounds and Rocky's quick, driving verses; it even includes Rocky doing some crooning himself.
It's already probably one of the best songs of the new year, but now Unknown Mortal Orchestra's "Swim and Sleep (Like A Shark)" has landed in the hands of Little Dragon, and the Swedish dreampop band has reworked it into a great dance track full of loops and synth layers. The original retro-pop song appears on UMO's forthcoming album II, but the remix can be heard below.
OneRepublic kicks off the New Year with a brand new anthem of a single, “If I Lose Myself,” available Tuesday (Jan. 8). The Grammy nominated band is putting the finishing touches on their third studio album Native, which will be released March 26 via Mosely Music Group/Interscope Records.
Following the release of three well-received singles, Bleached plans to finally release their first full-length. Ride Your Heart, the bombastic 12-track debut album by the L.A. band, will arrive April 2 via Dead Oceans. Sisters Jennifer and Jessie Clavin have captured music listeners' attention with blindingly bright hooks and dark heartfelt lyrics about love, loss, and the crazy fun moments in between. That's the goal: the sugary and sour, repurposed by two aggressively harmonic musicians and songwriters.
Ahead of the band's third album Beta Love, Ra Ra Riot has debuted the set's opening track "Dance With Me." Speaking with Variance in the latest issue, Mathieu Santos confirms that—like this track, the album does explore the band's synthier side. Previously released tracks "Beta Love" and "When I Dream" are evidence of this as well.
Azealia Banks has wasted no time pushing out a new track "BBD" to tease her forthcoming album Broke With Expensive Taste. The full-length has long been impending, and this latest track only further reminds fans that it is in fact on the way. Some sources previously claimed the set would release in early February, but that has not yet been confirmed. The track, as the artwork suggests, is produced by Apple Juice Kid and Sup Doodle.
While Frank Ocean's track for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained will not be included in the final soundtrack, the artist released it for fans late Saturday night. It marks Ocean's first new piece in months following the release of his Grammy-nominated Channel Orange.
While his upcoming album Long.Live.A$AP leaked earlier this week, A$AP Rocky title track off the set received its proper debut on Thursday. The official music video is set to release on Sunday morning. The album arrives Jan. 15 via RCA.
See the tracklist here.
It's one of the most-anticipated tracks off A$AP Rocky's upcoming album Long.Live.A$AP, and now you can hear it for yourself.

Remember when Dido let Eminem sample her song "Thank You" in what went on to be his mammoth hit single "Stan"? Well, you may have a little bit of déjà vu when you hear the singer's latest single. Dido's fourth studio album Girl Who Got Away is set to release in March, but she is debuting a new cut Friday titled "Let Us Move On" featuring Kendrick Lamar (who is—like Eminem before him—newly signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records).
A month out from the release of their third studio album Beta Love, Ra Ra Riot has again debuted a new track off the set, this one being "When I Dream." And yes, it's pretty dreamy. The album itself was recorded in Mississippi and will showcase the band's first sounds since the departure of cellist Alexandra Lawn.
Having just revealed earlier Wednesday that he was bored and was going to let loose a new track later tonight, Pusha T made good on his word less than 24 hours later. The Young Chop-produced track "Blocka" includes some island sounds via Popcaan and an appearance by Push's G.O.O.D. Music mate Travi$ Scott. It is unknown if this new cut will be featured on Pusha T's upcoming mixtape.
