“Jesus Piece,” Game‘s latest drop and long anticipated title track from his upcoming album, Jesus Piece, is a stinger. While the track is a group effort, featuring both ‘Ye and Common, it’s largely dominated by Game. In fact, and disappointing enough, Kanye only makes it as far as the hook, with Common providing the final [...]

Yellow Ostrich was originally known for their intimate, simple songs, but since its beginnings as the solo project of guitarist and singer Alex Schaaf, they have grown past that sense of lo-fi, 4-track aesthetic. Newer releases have been more full, a little more mature and produced. The track “Ghost” from their latest, eponymous named EP, however, is [...]

In the weeks before Ian Curtis of Joy Division took his own life, Joy Division, which would dissolve and soon after become New Order, released “Ceremony” and “In a Lonely Place” as singles. “Ceremony” was powerful.

The guy has so many FB fans he could drop a deuce and people would eat it up. Anyways, as a profile, fuckmylife is brimming with material. And it makes sense, [...]

It bleeds just the right amount of melancholia and callousness to make sense at such a sappy and unwarrantedly happy time of the year. Drowsy vocals, a wobbling production, and a sense of forlornness are just a few characterizing elements of the track. [...]

Last week we got a Kanye West remix of Rihanna‘s perpetual radio rotator, ”Diamonds,” and today we got a copy of “Right Now”– a party-ready cut from her upcoming album, Unapologetic. Produced by David Guetta, the track features a dynamic, though vaguely cyclical, instrumentation, with expansive breaks during the choruses, and bass-heavy, wheezing production during, well, everything else. The track’s definitely [...]
