Green Day’s new album, Revolution Radio, is turning into what could be a highlight of the band’s illustrious 20 year career. Everyone got a taste of what to expect when the band unveiled the lead single, “Bang Bang,” early last month, and now, they’re giving us another dose with the title track, “Revolution Radio.”
Aloe Blacc is bringing back the eighties with the help of Metric, DNCE, Theophilus London, Phantogram, and more, as the artists will contribute a cover to amfAR's upcoming AIDS benefit compilation, The Time Is Now.
Andrew McMahon has been making music for over 15 years, but the prolific singer/songwriter still manages to find a way to keep things fresh. His new single, released under his Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness moniker, is called “Fire Escape” and it just premiered today with a creative lyric video to go along with it.
When Bonnie McKee isn’t busy writing hits for other artists, she’s hitting the studio and crafting her own. Responsible for writing songs like Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” and “Teenage Dream,” McKee takes a similar pop route with her solo material. Though she hasn’t released an actual album in over ten years, she dropped an EP last year and made noise with the single, “American Girl.” Her new song, “Stud Muffin,” is a pitch perfect bop -- but it’s just a little bit unconventional.

Kanye West and Drake are having the year of their lives, as both artists have been going above and beyond in whatever venture they take part in. Both released great albums – Drake with Views and West with The Life of Pablo – and both are touring around the continent with live shows that can create a new headline after date. So, what else could the two take part that would increase their legendary status even more? A collaborative album, which according to West in an interview with Vogue, is “coming up soon.” No big deal.
One-off singles are great and all, but nothing satisfies the urge for new music quite like an album. In terms of The Chainsmokers, the DJ duo has been taking over the airwaves for the past two years with bangers like “#SELFIE,” “Roses,” and the recent number one hit, “Closer.” Though we saw an EP from them last year, you’d think a full-length record could be on the horizon, but that may not be the case.
Most of the public got their first taste of Desiigner when Kanye West used part of the young rapper’s mega hit “Panda” for his The Life of Pablo cut, “Pt. 2.” Now, we’re being treated to ‘Ye on a Desiigner song, as West adds a verse to a remix of Desiigner’s single, “Timmy Turner.”
The Good Charlotte train has been rolling steadily ever since the pop punk band announced their comeback a year ago.

More importantly, they’ve unleashed a comeback album, Youth Authority, and today, they released the music video for the song “Life Changes.”
Sia is still capitalizing on the success of her single “Cheap Thrills,” but that isn’t stopping her from releasing an entirely new song seemingly out of nowhere.
