So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
SAWEETIE - "CLOSER" (ft. H.E.R.)
Saweetie continues to gear up for her highly anticipated debut album Pretty Bitch Music, and here's a new single, which features H.E.R. and finds the rapper going in an airy R&B direction.
