New Song 2019

Jerry Lee Lewis is rightly remembered for being a rock 'n' roll pioneer, but his country music catalog is impressive. It was country that brought him back after crippling personal decision in the late 1950s, and for the next two decades "The Killer" would notch more than 20 Top 10 hits on Billboard 's Hot Country Songs chart. "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On" are inevitably the No. 1 and No. 2 songs on ever list of Jerry Lee Lewis' best songs, although sometimes the order gets mixed up. Both were crossover hits that made him an international superstar in a matter of months — this was pre-Spotify, remember. In 1958, Lewis and his new wife Myra showed up in London together, and a local photographer was struck by her youthful visage. She was just a teenager at that time — in fact, they married when she was 13 — and this scandal led to a decade of struggles for the singer. During this time ...

The Father of Disco, composer/producer Giorgio Moroder, once said, "Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance." We've been dancing to disco music ever since we heard that declaration. So, to properly capture the spirit of disco, we've found seven of the best disco tracks from the decade where it first peaked—the 1970s. 1. "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees (1977) A normal resting heart rate for an adult falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The song "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees has a tempo of 103 beats per minute. No wonder listening to "Stayin' Alive" gets your foot tappin' and hips swingin'—it's designed to bring excitement to the scene by imitating a rapidly beating heart. [embedded content] 2. "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor (1978) Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is an anthem for t...

B-Lovee, a rising rapper out of the South Bronx's Andrew Jackson Houses, hit the scene in 2020 with his drill-inspired debut project, Courtlandtbaby — but not until 2021's "My Everything" did he firmly insert himself into the same conversation as Pop Smoke, Fivio Foreign, and Sheff G. The sample-heavy track (built on the Mary J. Blige song "Everything") first went viral on TikTok as a leak; the official version ushered the scene's fascination with samples, especially from '90s R&B, into the forefront. Multiple remixes followed, but most important is the third, made with G Herbo, a Chicago drill mainstay who cut his teeth as one of that city's sharpest lyricists shortly after Keef's and Durk's massive early-2010s runs. Just as hip-hop had done, though on a smaller scale, another torch was passed from Chicago to New York to continue reshaping this microgenre as the artists see fit.

No matter how zoomed-out the view, you can only fit so many mountain ranges, so many massive armies, and so many dirty hobbit fingernails into a single frame. In Middle Earth, it's the musical score that can always go further, capturing emotion, character turmoil, and the awe and wonder of J.R.R. Tolkien's world in a way that (sometimes literally) echoes far beyond what we can see. The way music works with the image often makes the best scenes out of Tolkien's stories feel as rousingly epic as they do and why, in both the Peter Jackson film trilogy and Prime Video's new television series, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power," scenes that are just bits of landscape catching on fire (or flooding  and  catching on fire) pack such a punch. The Amazon show posed the same challenge to showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne and composer Bear McCreary: The complex Hollywood wheeling-and-dealing that yielded "The Rings of Power" b...

Modified Toy Orchestra – Silfurberg (Bit-Phalanx Music) CD / DL Out Now British electronic experimentalists release their first album in twelve years. Louder Than War's Paul Scott-Bates reviews. WARNING! Several Casio keyboards were harmed in the making of this album – more of that later. Be it an Icelandic crystal or an old Norse sunstone, Silfurberg is a beautiful thing. A crystallised calcium carbonite originally from the world's most sparsely populated country, it is rumoured that Vikings used its light-polarizing property to tell the direction of the sun on cloudy days for navigational purposes. And so, the third album from Modified Toy Orchestra takes its title. Silfurberg (the album) is a work of art. A techno classical album of sorts which tips an affectionate wink in the direction of Gustav Holst or Vangelis, also has hints of twenty-first century Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and teases of Kraftwerk which are interwoven quite beautifull...

Sreetama Basu Share this article Nursing a broken heart? Well, we can't fix that. But we have curated a playlist of Bollywood sad songs to give you company. It's no surprise that Bollywood is a potpourri of all genres of songs and melodies to go with every mood. You can listen to any song in the world, but when it's a heartbreak, only Bollywood comes in handy. And we are not talking about the techno and EDM-esque music of today. We are talking about good ol' Bollywood that we grew up with, songs that we would have to download from the web or get transferred via Bluetooth from friends on our multimedia phone sets. Yes, we are reminiscing th...

A strong concept is essential for great songwriting. While, more often than not, in the songs of The Beatles, David Bowie or Pink Floyd, those concepts are born out of personal experiences and merely flecked with the notions of another creative world, sometimes artists go one step further and create fictional characters to enact their expressions better. Here, we're picking out ten of our favourite in-song characters, including entries from those mentioned above, as well as The Kinks and The Who. For many, it can be easy to find a universal truth in the personal moments in our lives. It's the kind of songwriting Bob Dylan has been delivering for over six decades; it is the kind of song that floated punk across the Atlantic and the kind of visceral connection that provides ballast to our favourite songs. However, on some occasions, the need to rip away the tangible links we have to our world and imbue a created character with all the triumphs and tribulations of humanity...

With all that being said, do you think Herb has reached his rap ceiling? I refuse to believe it. But I'm a fan, and openly biased. Critics are giving positive reviews for Survivor's Remorse . Rolling Stone wrote, " Combined with his most stacked guest list since his standout 2020 album, P.T.S.D, Survivor's Remorse is yet another solid attempt to present a more polished Herbo for the rap mainstream without compromising his roots." Survivor's Remorse is a culmination of Herb's best projects. It has the hard hitting grit of Humble Beast , with the soulfulness and honesty of PTSD. One major difference with Survivor's Remorse , though, is that there's little Chicago representation on it.  Don't get me wrong. I'm not accusing Herb of oversaturing the project with features. One could say Herb's widening his horizons, as Durk has done over years. For example, Durk did an entire album in 2021 with mainstream juggernaut, Lil Baby, tit...

Only a handful of musical acts have undergone a sonic transformation as extensive as Aussie quartet 5 Seconds of Summer. The band — made up of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin — was introduced to the music scene as a pop-punk boy band through hits such as 2014's "She Looks So Perfect." By 2018, the group had evolved to be unrecognizable, ditching the punk sound and boyband label through their next breakthrough hit, "Youngblood." With the release of the group's fifth studio album, the appropriately titled "5SOS5," 5 Seconds of Summer undergoes a new round of reinvention, bringing a more mature sound and perspective, while breaking the mold of what defines a 5SOS song. The album's opener, "COMPLETE MESS," a mellow reflection on messy relationships, was released as the album's first single back in March of this year. In the intervening six months, 5SOS engaged fans with a steady stream of teasers, singles...
