Today's Top Tune

Ten years ago, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds released a subtle and beautiful studio album, 2013’s Push The Sky Away, that opened up a new and different approach to making their music in a controlled yet improvisational way. To mark the occasion, we share the original recording of “Mermaids.”

No one can say it better than Yaya Bey when it comes to her work: "‘exodus the north star’ is my most vulnerable work to date. This is how I see joy and love in the world and what I aspire to feel and be. I have become an expert at turning my pain and grief as a Black woman into music. Black people have a masterful way of telling our stories and sharing pain, but we're also masters of joy and imagination.”

We are excited to get our teeth into the dreamy sound of Devon Gilillian ’s sophomore album in early April. If “All I Really Wanna Do” is any indication, we’ll be swaying and singing along to this songwriter's groove as he shares his musical stories.

You might know trombonist and composer Kalia Vandever from her work with Lizzo, Harry Styles, or Japanese Breakfast. Opening our ears to a new signature sound, Kalia sculpts a golden tone on “Temper The Wound.” Let melody and meditation be your muse for the next four minutes.

You might know singer Acantha Lang via her YouTube and TikTok soul series “Standing On The Shoulders Of,” in which she honors soul singers of the past. But if you don’t, we’ll introduce you: Lang is a Robert Randolph collaborator and winner of Soul Tracks Readers’ Choice Award for New Artist of the Year, whose track “Ride This Train” is the next stop on this singer’s move from New Orleans to Harlem, and speaks to her rising stardom.

On their fourth studio album, brother band The Lemon Twigs reveal their ‘60s-tinged love song, “Corner Of My Eye,” an ode to a new love interest. Written during winter on vibraphone, drums, and upright bass, the duo laid down their vocals late at night once the din of Manhattan’s traffic had died down.

Serving up a soul-swaggering vintage sound, Bristol-based DJ and production duo The Allergies are back firing off “Sometimes I Wonder,” replete with bluesy vocals and brassy beats.

With a new EP, BAD PREMONITION, dropping this month, LA-based Colombian-Canadian artist Tei Shi shares her bi-lingual single "¿QUIÉN TE MANDA?," which translates to “Who Sent You?” Written to channel her frustration with toxic aspects of the music industry and parting with her former label, Tei Shi takes back her power.

Back in 2012, The Stones celebrated their golden anniversary by playing 30 live dates across North America and Europe. To our delight, some of those shows were captured as audio gold, with their New Jersey show a particular stand-out. The line-up was incredible, with The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr., Lady Gaga, and even The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen, joining them on stage. We’re thrilled to share a live version of “Miss You” from that special night, a real treat from their latest album, Grrr Live.

In the tradition of weirdo Britpop, enter trio Pozi, whose restless and playful sound lands somewhere between Television and Wire. Check out “Failing.”
