So many artists, so many songs, 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.
FUTURE - "KEEP IT BURNING" (ft. KANYE WEST)
Future returned today with his latest album, I Never Liked You, featuring two songs with Drake, as well as appearances by Kanye West, Tems, EST Gee, Gunna, Young Thug, and more.

JESSE MALIN & EUGENE HUTZ - " IF I SHOULD FALL FROM GRACE WITH GOD" (POGUES COVER)
Jesse Malin and Gogol Bordello have covered The Pogues' "If I Should Fall from Grace With God" in support of Ukraine. Universe knows Jesse and I bonded over Pogues years ago,” says Ukraine-born Hutz, “and it’s only natural that we sing this anti-colonial song for Ukraine now. This land was always ours! And no amount of Moscow propaganda can undo оver а thousand уеаrs of history. It is also a natural fit once again, since scientists uncovered that Irish people come from Modern Day Ukraine territory! And guess where I read that? In the Irish Independent.” Proceeds benefit The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation which supports "the development of democracy, a free market economy and human rights in Ukraine, and the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Ukraine."

HOLLY HUMBERSTONE - "SLEEP TIGHT"
British songwriter and musician Holly Humberstone co-wrote her new single "Sleep Tight" with The 1975's Matty Healy and her longtime collaborator Rob Milton. "It’s awkward trying to navigate catching feelings for a friend, as they are often feelings we might have been suppressing for some time," she says. "When they float to the surface, you have to weigh up the risks of getting hurt and potentially losing them in your life. I wrote ‘Sleep Tight’ about the uncertainty of friendships evolving into something more. The first summer out of lockdown was pretty crazy for my friends and I because we finally had our freedom back and acted like we had nothing to lose. This song takes me back to that time of what felt like no consequences and impending heartbreak."
