It was only a matter of time until we started hearing leftovers from Amy Winhouse’s short legacy. Next month, her record company will release an album of never heard before gems, titled Lioness: Hidden Treasures.
This is the first track off the album and it features the mighty Nas, contributing a posthumous rap verse.
We were sad to learn that rapper and entertainer Heavy D passed away last week, at the young (way too young!) age of 44.
Heavy D, born as Dwight Arrington Myers in 1967, had a short run of successful hits at the beginning of the 90′s, but his work is still remembered and cherished today.
Rest in peace, D.
Oasis were one of rock’s music greatest bands. They blazed the charts of the 90′s and left behind a trail of anthems. The driving force of the band were the Gallagher brothers: Liam – the pretty boy who was also the singer, and Noel- the more introverted one who played guitar and actually wrote the songs.
As brothers sometimes do, they kept fighting and bickering, which eventually lead them to falling out. At least for the time being. To make a long story short, here’s a track from Noel’s solo album. It sounds a lot like a certain band from the 90′s, but without the charismatic voice of the singer.
Welcome back, Noel!

Donald Glover seems to have it all – he’s one of the stars of NBC’s wild Community, a former writer for 30 Rock and The Daily Show, and as if this is not enough, he’s also making waves as Childish Gambino – the thinking man’s Drake, if you’d like.
After a series of internet-only releases and mixtapes, he is about to release a proper album, Camp, and Bonfire is a proper single, with a scary video and all.
Watch it, and try not to get too jealous of Glover!
One of the most hyped artists of recent months, Lana Del Rey, is all star quality. Good looking in a jaw-dropping kind of way, and she’s also got a deep, warm voice that is slightly rough around the edges, which makes her stand out in this age of information meltdown.
Video Games is her biggest hit so far, so check it out and watch this space.
Hip Hop’s all-time best outfit, The Roots, are about to release a new album. In our books, there aren’t many things that make us happier than knowing this. Some people might recognize them nowadays as Jimmy Fallon’s house band, but the band has been making records from way back – they started almost 20 years ago.
The new track has a short video online, and the band will release a short video every week now, up until the release of the full album.

Their latest album, Brothers, made the Black Keys somewhat of superstars. With the bar of expectations rising for the follow up, the duo released this first song: an energetic blues rock work out, with a simple yet effective video.
Oh, and the production, as always, is by the one and only Dangermouse.
Have you ever heard such a passionate love song for a disposable cup? Has Toby Keith joined the ranks of the environment protectors, or is he only interested in more ways to consume beer?

America’s darling, Kelly Clarkson, is releasing her fifth album. According to her, “it was influenced by Prince, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, Radiohead and there’s a little bit of a country vibe/influence on a couple of songs”.
Here’s the first official single, Mr. Know it All.

Chris Martin and Coldplay have just released their latest album Mylo Xyloto, perhaps their boldest pop statement so far. This is the new video- Paradise, which features a a runaway elephant on a bicycle. Seriously.
