On this third day in a row, BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe has premiered the last of three bonus tracks on The Weeknd's upcoming Trilogy, which releases Nov. 13 via Universal Republic. "Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun)" aired for the first time Thursday on the the British radio program.
BBC's Radio 1 isn't done with The Weeknd just yet. Following Tuesday's premiere of "Twenty Eight," host Zane Lowe has followed up with the debut of the track "Valerie" as well. Yesterday, Lowe "confirmed" that he will later this month reveal an exclusive interview with Abel Tesfaye -- his only interview to date, having previously abstained from any formal press. Lowe has now explained the interview is not set in stone.
Lady Gaga released to fans Wednesday the cut of "B----, Don't Kill My Vibe," her collaboration with rapper Kendrick Lamar that unfortunately did not make his good kid, m.A.A.d city album due to deadlines, according to Lamar himself: “That situation was a deadline situation. We had to meet these pre-orders. I was frustrated about it. My team was frustrated about it, but at the same time, we had to move forward.”
One week before the major label debut by The Weeknd, BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe has premiered a new track off the Trilogy set. It's one of the three new songs to appear on the album, which releases Nov. 13 via Universal Republic. Lowe also confirmed that later this month he will debut an interview with Abel Tesfaye--his first-ever press interview.
Ahead of their upcoming album release, Crystal Castles have debuted a new track, this one titled "Affection." The new song comes after a recent interview in which vocalist Alice Glass took issue with pop stars like Katy Perry.
UPDATE: This track is NOT slated to be included on his upcoming release of Trilogy. Interesting.
As the release of his major label debut nears, The Weeknd is releasing yet another track -- except this one is not included on his much-anticipated Trilogy release. "Enemy" was unveiled late Thursday night, the same night he begins a trio of performances in New York.
As he heads out on tour this week with NEEDTOBREATHE, independent singer-songwriter Matthew Mayfield is making his latest album available as a free download via NoiseTrade. A Banquet For Ghosts, Mayfield's masterful second full-length album, was helmed by Grammy-nominated producer Paul Moak (Martha Wainwright, Mat Kearney), and it was fan-funded by way of Kickstarter.
Twin sister duo Tegan and Sara have revealed the second track off their seventh studio album, Heartthrob. The album is set to release in January via Warner Bros. Records.
Days before Taylor Swift's latest album Red debuts, one of the most anticipated tracks off the set has leaked. Earlier Thursday, Ed Sheeran's much-publicized duet with the country pop star became available online. While it is certainly not an official release, fans have scurried to hear the track, which--unlike the mega-popular lead single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"--is about a sweet, sweet love. No breakups or bitter feelings here.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...Well, maybe not just yet, but the holidays are fast approaching, and a new album set to release this month will certainly help kick off the season. Holidays Rule is a compilation of classic Christmas songs as recorded by some of the year's biggest music acts, as well as some up-and-comers.
It's probably one of the most-anticipated track off the soundtrack for the upcoming film The Man with the Iron Fists. And now there's a one-minute preview of it--Kanye West's song "White Dress."
A week ahead the release of his solo debut album, Death Cab for Cutie frontman Benjamin Gibbard is streaming the entire set for fans. Former Lives releases on Oct. 16 via Barsuk Records.
