Video: Alicia Keys – ‘Blended Family’ (ft. A$AP Rocky)

0

Alicia Keys celebrates the release of her new Here LP by sharing the visuals for the A$AP Rocky-featuring Blended Family.

At a time where civil rights have been pushed ever-further into the forefront, the clip could not come at a more poignant time, where Alicia and A$AP celebrate not only multicultural families, but also those with differing sexualities too. Aside from the fact the song itself is more than wonderful, the positive message within the video is equally as welcome.

Grab a watch below. **UPDATE** Alicia also performed Blended Family during a stint on the UK’s X Factor – catch it underneath too:

Audio: Amateur Dance – ‘Dreamhack’

Australian producer Joseph Cookson, aka Amateur Dance, has announced Dreamhack, the melodicly-vibey opening track to his forthcoming Love System EP.

Grab a listen below; this is definitely one for the post-3am kids:

Audio: Christine and the Queens – ‘Saint Claude’ (Tourist Remix)

As one of the most versitile producers in the electronic game, it’s clear to see that whenever Tourist drops something, be it an original piece or a remix, you never know which way he’s going to turn. Regardless too, he’s rarely, if ever, disappointed, and today he continues that string of long-running success with his glistening new remix of Christine and the Queens’ Saint Claude.

Audio: Sia – ‘Satisfied’ (ft Miguel and Queen Latifah)

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s upcoming project The Hamilton Mixtape lands in just under a month, and today we hear Sia join forces with Miguel and Queen Latifah for Satisfied.

There’s been a fair few excerpts from the collection floating around in recent months, a mixtape inspired by songs from the 2015 Hamilton Broadway musical – another gem comes from Busta Rhymes, Nate Ruess and Joell Ortiz with My Shot which you can also hear below, alongside Satisfied:

Audio: Will Silver – ‘Serein / Zij’

Having impressed us back in September with Drop The Glass, Will Silver has returned with the dreamy Zij, the second part of his new double-track EP which includes the more psychotic Serein.

Grab a listen to both below; if you’re fans of Maribou State, Four Tet or even Jamie XX, you’ll find Zij particularly meaty.

Stream A Tribe Called Quest’s final-ever album

A fortnight on from the initial teaser announcement, A Tribe Called Quest have unveiled their sixth studio record We Got It From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service, their first in 18 years and a project confirmed to be their final studio outing.

Featuring Busta Rhymes and Kendrick Lamar (among many others), the new record also serves as a tribute to Tribe’s Phife Dawg, whose tragic death earlier this year sparked mourning within the hip-hop world – the remaining members released the album in honour of their friend, noted as one of the music greats, and whose work spans influences toward the likes of Common, Kanye West and Jill Scott.

Glastonbury 2017: Red Hot Chili Peppers ruled out

Red Hot Chili Peppers have expanded their run of US and Canadian 2017 dates, ruling them out of an appearance at next year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Announced earlier this week, the new dates will see the Chilis hit Ontario and Michigan across the Glastonbury weekend (itself which runs from 21-25th June); the only feasible opportunity for the group to hit Worthy Farm would be on Saturday 24th June where there are no shows currently sheduled. HOWEVER we would highly presume that the available date would be reserved to move between Canada and the US in time for the 25th June set at Michigan’s Van Andel Arena.

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ sole Glastonbury date was scheduled back in 1993, however the band had to cancel last-minute, instead replaced by Lenny Kravitz as a headliner. They have not appeared since.

UK fans will still get the opportunity to see the Chilis later this year, mind, as they bring their new album The Getaway to London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester in December.

More Glastonbury 2017 news as we hear it.
