Hello, and welcome to another edition of New Tunes Day, which features a diverse compilation of tasty new music curated specially for you, by me. Take a listen below, and check out a breakdown of albums coming out this Fri., Oct. 2, along with links to full LP streams where available.
Janet Jackson, " BURNITUP!" featuring Missy Elliott
She just played to a packed Amalie Arena (and made one local artist/designer supremely happy) and is on the verge of dropping her first new album in seven years (Unbreakable, out this Fri., Oct. 2, via Rhythm Nation/BMG). Thus far, we've seen a sexy Quiet Storm-style number with J. Cole in first single "No Sleeep." This latest stealthy groove-jam features another iconic diva, Missy Elliott, with the R&B-pop tempo turned up to ass-bumpin' speeds and Miss Janet channeling her late brother via her breathy high-toned delivery, exhalations and exclamations included. Me likes it. Listen below.
GospelbeacH, "Your Freedom"
This new group is fronted by Tampa Bay native-turn-longtime-L.A. denizen, vocalist/guitarist Brent Rademaker (Beachwood Sparks, The Tyde), who'd taken a break from making music for several years (and was back in Tampa for a time) before he reconnected with B. Sparks drummer Tom Sanford and singer-guitarist Neal Casal (who'd done stints with Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, and Grateful Dead spin-off Furthur with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir) to start working on a new project. First single “Mick Jones” was lauded by Spin magazine as "...somewhere between kaleidoscopic alt-country and the times when the Grateful Dead decided to color within the lines." In sum, warm, breezy, rays-lit folk-blues with healthy doses of surf and psychedelia. This is the latest single off the quintet's debut, Pacific Surf Line, which sees its release October 16 via Alive Naturalsound.
WOKE, "The Lavishments of Light Looking" featuring George Clinton
The 2015 Adult Swim Singles series has seen new songs by Owen Pallett, Peaches, Danny Brown & Clams Casino, Slayer and Chromatics, among others. Flying Lotus was set to issue a new track next, but ended up collabing with Thundercat and Shabazz Palaces, forming the newly-christened project, WOKE. P-Funk primary George Clinton appears in "The Lavishments of Light Looking," a rather weird funkdaledic track marked by Thundercat's typically drippy-wet bass. Listen below; download for free here. The Adult Swim Singles series draws to close with one more new track from Run the Jewels due on October 5. Bonus tracks by Shantih Shantih, Dasher, Low Estate, Scanning Antarctica follow on October 12.
