  • Wiz Khalifa Shares Chaotic 'Raw' Music Video [WATCH]

    Wiz Khalifa has shared the music video for his "Blacc Hollywood" track "Raw," which you can check out below. The Gerard Victor-directed clip features extensive use of negative black-and-white photography and flicker film techniques, so much so that the video opens with a trigger warning for those who suffer from seizures — do not watch this video if you have epilepsy. There is not much of a story, but there does not really need to be one with such complicated and fascinating visuals.You can check out Wiz Khalifa's "Raw" music video here, but again, do not watch it if you are prone to seizures:

  • Action Bronson Shares New Song 'Actin Crazy,' Details New Album 'Mr. Wonderful' [LISTEN]

    Queens rapper Action Bronson has shared a new track titled "Actin Crazy" from his upcoming album "Mr. Wonderful," which you can check out below — you can check out the insane yet incredible cover art above. The track, produced by 40 and Omen, is a refreshing change of pace from the typical trap beats you hear in modern hip-hop, with a woozy, constantly swelling sound reminiscent of something that MF Doom or Madlib would have done on "Madvillainy" — in simpler terms, it is great.Though Bronson shared the tracklist for "Mr. Wonderful" late last month, "Pitchfork" reports that he has revealed the featured artists on the album, which include Chance the Rapper, Meyhem Lauren, Big Body Bes, Party Supplies and Chauncey Sherod. In addition, Mark Ronson, The Alchemist and Noah "40" Shebib are among those contributing production.You can check out Action Bronson's "Actin Crazy" here:

  • Marilyn Manson Shares New Song 'Cupid Carries A Gun' From Upcoming Album 'The Pale Emperor' [LISTEN]

    Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has shared a new track titled "Cupid Carries A Gun" from his upcoming studio album The Pale Emperor, which you can check out below. According to Blabbermouth, the track originally appeared on the television series Salem back in April 2014, but has just now been made available for streaming on Youtube and Spotify. As can be expected from Manson (and from a song that appeared on a show about witch trials), it's a pretty gothic, doomy track with some industrial elements, though it's not nearly as heavy as the songs Manson wrote during his '90s heydey.

  • Beyoncé Criticized by Animal Rights Groups for Photos with Tiger, Elephant in Thailand

    Over the weekend, Beyoncé posted a photo to her Instagram account of herself, Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy petting a tiger cub during their recent trip to Thailand, and though the picture is absolutely adorable for a number of reasons — as you can see up above — not everyone is happy about it. According to "Vulture," animal rights organization World Animal Protection criticized Bey for her photo-op, which took place at Phuket's FantaSea theme park, saying that the animals in these parks are subjected to abuse and suffering."When you look behind the scenes, vacation snaps like these support an industry that relies on animal cruelty," World Animal Protection wrote in its criticism. "Many tourists unwittingly contribute to the suffering of wild animals like these. They're simply not aware that their 'once in a lifetime' photo means a lifetime of misery for that animal."During this same trip, Mrs. Carter was also photographed riding a baby elephant, which summoned the wrath of One Green Planet, who said that "there is an incredible amount of suffering involved in Thai elephant tourism," and that the elephant in the photo "was likely taken from his mother and forced to endure a six-month 'breaking' period, during which time he was locked in a small enclosure and continuously beaten by his mahouts (trainers)."This is not the first time Queen Bey has been criticized by animal rights groups. In 2013, French designer Isabel Marant created a pair of sneakers for the singer that were made out of the skins of stingrays, crocodiles, anacondas, ostrichs and calfs, which greatly upset PETA. She is not alone, though: You can check out a list of musicians who have angered PETA here.

    R&B superstar Ne-Yo has shared a new track titled "Make It Easy" off his upcoming studio album "Non-Fiction," which you can check out below. The track features some excellent electro-R&B production, particularly when it comes to the beat, while Ne-Yo stays predictably on top of his vocal game.You can check out Ne-Yo's "Make It Easy" here, via MTV:"Make It Easy" is the fifth song to be shared from Ne-Yo's upcoming album Non-Fiction, following "Coming with You," "She Knows" featuring Juicy J, "Money Can't Buy" featuring Jeezy and "Time of Our Lives" with Pitbull.

  • Of Montreal Share New Song 'Empyrean Abattoir' from New Album 'Aureate Gloom' [LISTEN]

    Georgia psych-pop crew Of Montreal have shared a new track titled "Empyrean Abattoir" from their upcoming album "Aureate Gloom," which you can check out below. The song is one of the best things Of Montreal have put out in years, starting with a vaguely mournful disco/post-punk groove but eventually shifting into a snottier punk jam, reminiscent of David Bowie's early 1970s work, such as "Queen Bitch." Frontman Kevin Barnes has said that "Aureate Gloom" was inspired by the "mid-to-late-'70s music scene in New York," and based on this song he is not messing around.You can check out Of Montreal's 'Empyrean Abattoir" here, via "Stereogum":

  • Swervedriver Announce New Album 'I Wasn't Born To Lose You,' Share New Song "Setting Sun," Tour Dates [LISTEN]

  • Belle & Sebastian Share New Song "The Cat With The Cream" From Upcoming Album "Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance" [LISTEN]

    Scottish indie pop legends Belle & Sebastian have shared another track from their upcoming album Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, titled "The Cat with the Cream," which you can check out below. Though the previous songs that have been shared so far from the album have been pretty upbeat and fun, "The Cat with the Cream" is far more dramatic and low-key, with a prominent string section and almost no percussion other than a steady kick drum. The lyrics are also more political than we're used to hearing from frontman Stuart Murdoch, with lines about Tories and the boom/bust nature of capitalist economies.

  • Ty Segall Shares Title Track from New EP 'Mr. Face' [LISTEN]

    Next week, Ty Segall will be dropping his new EP "Mr. Face," but today the California garage rock wizard has shared the EP's title track through the Famous Class Records Bandcamp page, which you can check out below. The sound of the track comes off as a cross between Segall's last two solo albums "Manipulator" and "Sleeper," being largely acoustic and percussion free — at least until the end — but definitely not mellow in any way. If the rest of the EP is as good as this, then it is definitely worth your money.You can check out Ty Segall's "Mr. Face" here:

  • Rick Ross, Jeezy Drop New Verses on Young Dolph's 'Preach' Remix [LISTEN]

    Young Dolph has shared a remix of his track "Preach" featuring new verses from fellow Southern rappers Jeezy and Rick Ross, which you can check out below. The track features a pitifully tinny trap beat courtesy of Zaytoven, but the forceful new verses from Ross and Jeezy almost make up for it, with Dolph delivering the hook himself.You can check out the remix of Young Dolph's "Preach" featuring Jeezy and Rick Ross here:You can download the track for free here.You can check out the music video for Young Dolph's original "Preach" here, just in case you were curious:

  • Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign Share Trippy New Song 'Refresh/Say No More' [LISTEN]

    Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign have shared a trippy new collaborative track titled "Refresh/Say No More," which you can check out below. Being almost nine minutes long, this is really two tracks in one, and if the cover art is any indication (which you can check out up above), this is some really spacy, psychedelic stuff, even moreso than Wiz usually gets. It's not clear who the producer is on this track, though the Soundcloud page says it was "engineered" by Drew Drucker and Ricky P, so maybe they should be getting the credit for this one.

  • Lady Antebellum Announces "Wheels Up 2015" World Tour

The track features guest verses from Young Dolph and Cap-1 over a pretty standard trap beat (how can you not have a trap beat with a title like that?).

  • Björk Collaborating With The Haxan Cloak For New Album

  • Keyshia Cole Shares 'New Nu' Music Video [WATCH]

    R&B star Keyshia Cole has shared the music video for her Mike Will Made-It-produced single "New Nu," which you can check out below. The video features Cole and her friends in a pretty intense boys vs. girls paintball match, intercut with some — pretty ridiculous looking — shots of Cole standing in front of a green screen with diamonds and hundred-dollar bills cascading in the background. It is not entirely clear what paintball has to do with breaking up with a man who has done you wrong, but we will take it.You can check out Keyshia Cole's music video for "New Nu" here:

  • Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan Share New Track "M.O.M. (Mind On Money)" [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan have teamed up once again for a new track titled "M.O.M. (Mind On Money)," which you can check out below. If that title is any indication, the track is about money and how much these two love it (you know, hip-hop stuff). Though Thug and Quan's delivery is typically difficult to digest and inexplicably Autotuned, the beat itself is pretty nice.

  • Stone Temple Pilots Singer Scott Weiland Announces Album Release Date, Solo Tour [FULL SCHEDULE]

    Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has announced the release date of his upcoming album "Blaster" as well as a string of tour dates in support of the album beginning in late February.

"'Blaster' is definitely a band sound: a stripped down, furry sound with a lot of space between the notes. But it's tight and to-the-point while keeping that garage rock vibe to it."

  • 8 Albums With Misleading Titles: The Smiths, Dr. Dre, And More

    Though an album title shouldn't tell you explicitly what kind of music you're in for (where's the fun in that?), a title does have a subtle influence over how we hear an album, or how we expect it to fit into the artist's career arc. These eight albums, however, went with titles that ended up being misleading for either one of these reasons.

  • Syd Barrett's 'The Madcap Laughs': 13 Songs Ranked For Its 45th Anniversary

    Today, Jan. 3, marks the 45th anniversary of The Madcap Laughs, the debut solo album by original Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett. Other than being a remarkable album musically, The Madcap Laughs is also significant for being a surreal document of Barrett's mental health at the time, which had been steadily declining ever since his departure from Pink Floyd in 1968. To celebrate the anniversary of this incredible album, here are its 13 tracks ranked, from weakest to strongest.

  • Riff Raff Announces "JODYHIGHROLLER.com" Tour Dates [FULL SCHEDULE]

The tour kicks off on Jan. 21 in Athens, Georgia and finishes up in Seattle on Feb. 18, with stops in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix in between, among other places.

  • Jeremih Featured In Maejor's "Get You Alone" Music Video [WATCH]

    Detroit R&B singer, Maejor, has shared the music video for his new single, "Get You Alone" featuring Jeremih, which you can check out here. The video is pretty straightforward with Maejor singing the song near a hot tub while girls in bikinis smear glow in the dark paint over his body. Jeremih makes an appearance in the song's second half (it actually comes off like a completely different song entirely, which is pretty cool), singing/rapping about being "a fat kid for that fat ass," so you know this guy's a sweetheart.

  • Atmosphere Shares "January On The Lake" Music Video From Latest Album 'Southsiders' [WATCH]

    Minneapolis hip-hop duo, Atmosphere, have shared the music video for their song, "January On Lake Street," which you can check out here. The video follows a skateboarder riding around a city (presumably Minneapolis), intercut with slow motion shots of various people doing pretty much nothing. That description makes the video seem a bit boring, but it all ties together at the end in a tragic way (mini-spoiler alert: it's a lot like the end of Melancholia).

  • POP ETC. Shares New Song "Running In Circles," Announces New Album [LISTEN]

    Brooklyn-via-Berkeley indie rock group POP ETC (formerly the Morning Benders) have shared a new track titled "Running in Circles," which you can check out here. According to Stereogum, the track is the first to be shared from POP ETC's upcoming studio album, which is set for release later this year. Keeping up with the recent indie rock trend of paying homage to mainstream '80s rock artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, and Tom Petty (see: The War On Drugs, Ryan Adams), "Running In Circles" is a dancey, synth-heavy track that could easily be spun in a club, with a chorus that could legitimately be mistaken for a top 10 hit from 1985.

  • Rich Homie Quan Shares New Song 'Flex' [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan has shared a new track titled "Flex," which you can check out below. The track was produced by Nitti Beatz and DJ Spinz and is backed by a pretty excellent electro beat, like a darker and more atmospheric version of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." Quan's performance is not bad either, often veering into — Auto-Tuned, of course — singing as much as straight-up rapping.You can check out Rich Homie Quan's "Flex" here, via "Miss Info":
