From the angelic sounds of Florence + The Machine to the jazz-infused pop of The 1975.
Good morning,
Coming off the mainstream high of its sophomore album I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, The 1975 exceeds expectations with the follow-up A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships.
Another week, another round of new music to listen to. With much anticipated releases this week, such as The 1975’s A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships or Meek Mill’s first album since his release from prison, it’s easy to forget about all the other artists who have released music. Here’s some of the latest music releases, from both bigger and lesser known artists, that you may have easily missed this week:

One of the best factors of music is the various amounts of genres and sounds artists delve into. This week’s latest releases bring everything from sensual indie rock (Nashville-based Hardcastle have you covered) to fresh, soul-infused hip-hop (Anderson .Paak’s “Who R U?” is a go to) and even some artists are releasing songs post-mortem (Lil Peep’s sophomore album is worth a listen or two). Nonetheless, music’s ever-changing sounds allow for listeners to get a taste of everything and expand their musical palates. So, no matter the mood you’re in or the task you’re trying to tackle, here are some genre-varying and even genre-blending highlights from this week’s latest music releases:
Music is used for many things. Whether it’s used in an arena to pump-up a sports team, played to celebrate the first dance between a married couple or just background music in an elevator, it is everywhere for a reason. Music is used as a platform to promote political ideas and ideologies; it can be both cathartic for the artist and listener or it can evoke simple emotions. With mid-semester slumps in full force, music is a great way to power through. Grab a blanket, some headphones, whatever homework you have and overcome that slump and get through the semester with these latest music releases:

Music can transport you to a certain season or time period, and allow for a sense of escapism. It is also equally therapeutic and cathartic — for both the listener and the artist themself. Overall, music evokes mood and is downright powerful, and there’s no exception for that with this week’s releases. So whether you’re trying to get spooky for Halloween weekend (give Thom Yorke’s full Suspiria soundtrack a listen) or you just want to bask in utter pop music (Robyn’s first album in eight years is for you), the music world has got your back. Here are some of the best releases from the week:
Despite many sequels and reboots, some of which the world could’ve done without, Halloween is back. Director David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Stronger) decided to take on the story of Michael Myers and disregard every other Halloween film besides the 1978 original — and it pays off.
There’s something special about classic rock that most modern-day rock ‘n’ roll is missing. Maybe it’s the grittiness, maybe it’s the persona of the bands or maybe it’s something else completely. Nevertheless, Greta Van Fleet surpasses all of this, and revel in rock music and give it the nostalgia and feel of the 1970s.
With the chilly season in full force and the school semester feeling like it’s never going to end, music and films are great sources of escapism. Arguably one of the best parts about some films are their accompanying soundtracks and scores. Soundtracks allow listeners the possibility to think back to the first time they saw a film or maybe they preface a movie someone is dying to see. Buckle up because the latest soundtracks may scare you, relax you or make you think you can sing like the late, great Freddie Mercury. Here are the latest soundtracks and scores you should be listening to:
Good morning,
For weeks, a mysterious Twitter account has been hinting at a new Uptown Athens restaurant, and now people finally have answers.
Another Friday, another batch of new music. With latest releases from alt-rockers Young The Giant, singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers and others, it’s a strong week for the music world. Among all the genres — even though genre doesn’t matter — this week is heavily dominated by R&B. From debut album and singles to seasoned artist releasing new projects, R&B is alive and well. Here are some R&B highlights from this week’s latest music:
The biggest names in the music industry all gathered at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday night to celebrate the 2018 American Music Awards. Tracee Ellis Ross, executive producer for the award show and star of Black-ish, hosted and showed off her many wonderful outfits. Filled with just as many musical performances as there were awards, the audience got a little bit of everything during the award show. Here are the top performances from the night:
When Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born was announced, there were mixed reactions from fans and critics alike strictly based on the fact the movie has been made before. His gritty rendition is the fourth installment of the film, with there being versions from 1937, 1954 and 1976. Cooper even came out and admitted that Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder told him not to make the film. Yet, Cooper persisted, and it has definitely paid off.
