Drake announces mammoth ‘Scorpion’ tracklisting

0

Drake has revealed the tracklist for his forthcoming album ‘Scorpion’ ahead of its release on 29th June.

Featuring 25 songs, the project has now been confirmed as a double-album, a concept initially rumoured following the appearance of a set of billboards in Toronto. The album includes Drake’s previous singles ‘I’m Upset’ alongside ‘God’s Plan’ and ‘Nice For What’.

‘Scorpion’ marks Drake’s fifth full-length studio album, and follows on from 2016’s ‘Views’. Last year the Canadian rapper also shared his ‘More Life’ playlist which featured further new tracks, including the Jorja Smith-featuring ‘Get It Together’.

Watch Charli XCX’s new video for ‘5 In The Morning’

“You’re gonna be so fucking sick of me” Charli XCX wrote last month, proclaiming that 2018 would finally be the year where she unveils a barrage of new music…. and she wasn’t wrong either.

No less having collaborated with Rita Ora on ‘Girls’ a few weeks back, the singer has now shared the new video for her excellent ‘5 In The Morning’. If any song has shown an artist’s evolution, this one is it – it’s a succulent slice of future-laced pop/soul, and if this acts as a preview for a new album, then, well, we just can’t fucking wait.

Joe Jackson dies, aged 89

0

Joseph Jackson, the head of the Jackson dynasty has passed away from terminal cancer at the age of 89.

Passing two days from the anniversary of the death of Michael (who passed away in 2009), Joe had been surrounded at his bedside by wife Katherine alongside some of his children and grandchildren.

As the patriarch of the iconic family, Jackson had been seen by most as the instigator of driving his children to worldwide fame in the 1960s, creating icons of both Michael and notsoonafter, Janet. He was also instrumental in the success of The Jackson 5 in the 1960s, spearheading them into the global pop elite. Though still married, Joe and Katherine did not live together in later-life following a strained (and often reported, hostile) relationship over the years.

Story developing.

Fresh off the back of her Missy Elliott / ‘She’s A Bitch x Black Panther’ excellence back in the Spring, 0121’s finest has now dropped some fresh bars across Nicki Minaj’s ‘Barbie Tingz’. It’s hard to find an MC who’s so slickly consistent over-and-over again, but Leshurr has a way with words that should, by right, catapult her onto the world’s stage (because for crying out loud, as much as we want her as our own, the rest of the globe needs to hear her too!).

Hear Kölsch & Tiga collaborate for ‘HAL’

Kölsch has teamed up with Tiga for their new collaborative effort ‘HAL’, released via Kölsch’s new label IPSO.

Made up of a thunderous build, and rasping chord patterns, ‘HAL’ precedes the pair’s B2B set at OFFSonar this summer, with Kölsch also scheduled to play a primetime headline set at Belgium’s Tomorrowland.

“After being friends for years, myself and Kolsch decided to take the next logical step in our relationship and make a few tracks together.” said Tiga, with Kölsch adding “HAL is both a reference to the Computer in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 a Space Odyssey, and short for Hallelujah. … The track sits firmly between Rave and Religion, and has been a staple in my sets, since we made it.”
