New Songs: The Weeknd, Nilüfer Yanya, Juice WRLD, Alchemist ... - Brooklyn Vegan

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.

THE WEEKND - "NOTHING IS LOST (YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH)"

In the midst of showing up on tons of year-end lists (including ours), The Weeknd has shared a new song written for the new Avatar sequel, The Way of Water. He made it with Swedish House Mafia along with the film's composer, Simon Franglen, and it's a sweeping, movie-soundtrack song but with a Weeknd twist.

With new releases now coming fast and furious during the all-important Q4–the make-or-break quarter for the music industry–we have to make sure that new indie releases don't get lost in the mix. Challenge accepted. 1. Dave Gahan & Soulsavers, Metal Heart Imposte r (Columbia) Recommended If You Live: Songs closer to the heart Depeche Mode's frontman went through some rough times 25 years ago when he kept ODing with heroin and speedballs, culminating with a full cardiac arrest that saw him dead for two minutes before EMTs could get his heart beating again. These days, he's a changed person, much more spiritual, and aware that life is precious. This album (due November 12) is a collection of covers (Neil Young, PJ Harvey, even Charlie Chaplin) carefully chosen for their meanings and effect upon Dave. The first single is a Cat Power song from 1998. [embedded content] 2. Ministry, Disinformation Moral Hygiene (Nuclear Blast) RIYL: Repeated hammer blows to the head Unc...

best van halen songs :: Article Creator All 75 David Lee Roth-Era Van Halen Songs Ranked Worst To Best By the end of the '70s, hard rock seemed destined to go the way of the dodo. Then Van Halen came along and shifted the world on its axis. The band's 1978 self-titled debut was a tour de force of jaw-dropping virtuosity, off-the-wall showmanship and brilliant pop sensibilities. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen revolutionized the medium with his two-handed tapping technique, and he and singer David Lee Roth immediately cemented their place as one of rock's most iconic — and volatile — duos. Over the next six years, Van Halen released five more albums with Roth at the helm before things went south in spectacular fashion. Those first six LPs run the gamut from white-knuckle heavy metal to delectable pop-rock to early-20th-century jazz standards — sometimes within the same song. Roth reunited sporadically with Van Halen over the years, yiel...

100 days to AFCON: How are the favourites shaping up? - ESPN

Image
6:51 AM GMT Ed Dove Special to ESPN Close Ed Dove is a writer and scout who has a deep and enduring passion for African sport, politics and literature. Instagram: @EddyDove22, Facebook: @EddyDoveAfrica With 100 days to go until the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Cameroon on January 9, ESPN's Ed Dove runs the rule over the top nine contenders for the continent's grandest prize. Cameroon What's their pedigree? Genuine African giants, Cameroon have won five AFCON's, the Olympic gold in 2000, and have represented the continent at a record seven World Cups. Their run to the quarterfinals in 1990 has still never been surpassed. How did they qualify? Qualified automatically as hosts, but Cameroon nonetheless had to compete in Group F of qualification, where their results -- three wins, two draws, one defeat -- did little for optimism. Recent results: A 2-0 behind-closed-doors victory at home against Malawi was routine, but the 2-1 defeat away in the Cote d'Ivoire la...
