]]>“Star” was released as a double-sided single alongside “Heaven” back in August last year, and its music video is finally here. The atmospheric visual sees Mitski paddling a boat across a foggy lake in the middle of the night.
This music video reunited Mitski with her frequent collaborator Maegan Houang, who wanted this visual to offer a contrast to their previous narrative/concept-driven videos.
“I wanted this video to encapsulate the impressionistic circularity we all experience. Our lives oscillate between light and dark repeating itself in an endless cycle where nothing is permanent. The best moments are fleeting, but so are the bad,” said Houang in a statement.
“Star” was released as one of the songs from Mitski’s seventh studio album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, which came out last September. It also produced singles “Bug Like an Angel” and “My Love Mine All Mine”, and she’s promoting with a tour across Europe this spring.

]]>This week brought several amazing new albums our way, and Mitski’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We is definitely the most exciting new release. This LP features a total of 11 songs – each one deserving of a spot on our list – but “My Love Mine All Mine” is our personal favorite.
Diddy also surprised us with his first album in years, The Love Album: Off the Grid, which features countless A-list collaborations. “Other One Of Me” was released as its latest single and it saw the iconic rapper join forces with The Weeknd, 21 Savage, and French Montana.
The rest of our list features an interesting mix of genres, ranging from hip-hop and EDM to pop and alternative rock. Drake’s collaboration with SZA, “Slime You Out”, is one of the week’s buzziest new releases, but our list also includes new music from Doja Cat, Tate McRae, Sia, Sufjan Stevens, and All Time Low.

]]>This week marked a major comeback for two of our favorite former Disney stars – Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. They both announced new songs last week and supported each other on social media before finally sharing them with the world on Friday.
Gomez delivered a club-ready girl power anthem with “Single Soon”, her first solo single of 2023. As for Cyrus, she opted for a completely different approach with a soaring ballad “Used To Be Young”, which sees her reflecting on the mistakes she made in her past.
The rest of our list of best songs of the week includes an interesting mix of different genres, ranging from indie rock to country. Zach Bryan made the cut with his recently released self-titled album, which produced A-list collaboration “I Remember Everything” feat. Kacey Musgraves.
Our list also includes new music from The Killers, Mitski, Victoria Monét, and Conan Gray, so get ready to add them to your playlist.

]]>Travis Scott’s Utopia is definitely the week’s most anticipated new release, and it’s given us more epic collaborations than we can count. Scott even managed to bring Beyonce on board, and gave us one of the album’s best songs with “Delresto (Echoes)”.
Post Malone also knocked it out of the park with his self-titled new album Austin, and we opted for “Enough is Enough” as its best new song. The English pop star Anne-Marie also dropped a new album this Friday, and her Khalid collaboration “You & I” made it to our list.
This week has been amazing for hip-hop releases, starting with “Jealousy” by Offset & Cardi B, but we also made sure to include some songs that don’t fall under this genre. From Mitski’s “Bug Like an Angel” and The Kills’ “New York” to “Desire” by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith, there’s something for everyone on our list of the best songs of the week.

]]>Mitski shared the amazing news in a newsletter with a voice memo sent to her fans, where she can be heard saying, “Hi, this is Mitski, and I’m at Bomb Shelter Studios in Nashville, where we recorded my new album that’s coming out. It’s called The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We, and its first single is coming out on Wednesday.”
Mitski is yet to share other crucial information about this record, including its release date and tracklisting. The Land Is Inhospitable will serve as a follow-up to her acclaimed sixth studio album Laurel Hell, which came out last February and produced singles “Working for the Knife” and “The Only Heartbreaker”.
Laurel Hell made it to many lists of the best albums of 2022, but it wasn’t her only successful project last year. Mitski also recorded the song “This Is Life” alongside Son Lux and David Byrne for the Academy Award-winning film Everything Everywhere All At Once and received an Oscar nod for the best original song.

]]>“Naatu Naatu” came into this year’s Oscars as the clear front-runner, after winning the best original song at several other shows, including the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. M. M. Keeravani picked up the trophy for writing the music, while Chandrabosedouble was awarded for his work on the lyrics.
“Naatu Naatu” defeated a pretty tough competition at this year’s Oscars, where the list of nominees also included Diane Warren’s “Applause” from Tell It Like a Woman, Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick, Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and “This Is a Life” from Everything Everywhere All at Once, by Ryan Lott, David Byrne, and Mitski.
All five songs were performed during the ceremony, with Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj taking the stage to perform “Naatu Naatu”. Even Lady Gaga took the stage, even though it was previously reported she won’t be able to prepare the musical number. Lenny Kravitz was also among the performers, and he delivered an emotional rendition of “Calling All Angels” during the annual “In Memoriam” tribute.
The 95th Academy Awards took place on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and Everything Everywhere All at Once was the biggest winner of the night with seven trophies.

]]>All hell broke loose after Mitski posted a tweet announcing she’ll be playing Summerstage in New York City’s Central Park on September 7th and described this tour date as her “last show indefinitely”.
Her fans were heartbroken by the news, but the singer quickly made it clear that she’s not quitting music anytime soon. Mitski explained she decided to take a break after constantly touring for five years because she felt it’s time to be a human again and have a place to call home.
“I don’t want to make art like that, especially when you’re offering your valuable time and hearts and money to it. So I hope you’ll have me back whenever that is, or if I start over then I start over. Thank you so much for all your support!” clarified Mitski on Twitter.

]]>Music was the most important side character in this Netflix hit, and not only because the main character just happens to be working at the legendary magazine Rolling Stone. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who wrote and directed this film, was once a music writer herself, and this film wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for her background in this industry.
The film’s title actually originates from LCD Soundsystem’s song of the same name, but this band wasn’t even her main source of inspiration.
“The songs that came first were Lorde’s ‘Supercut’ and UGK’s ‘International Players Anthem. They were the grounding places I started. I’d say ‘Supercut’ was written into the movie. It existed in the movie before any of the people in the movie existed,” explained Robinson in an interview with Rolling Stone.
Check out our five favorite songs from Someone Great:

]]>A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships was released on November 30 to rave reviews and gave us several hit singles, including “Give Yourself a Try” and “Sincerity Is Scary.” It’s been barely a month since this album hit the shelves, but the band is already working on their follow-up.
Notes On A Conditional Form is scheduled for 31 May 2019 release and frontman Matty Healy said it contains some of the best lyrics he’s ever written. He admitted it’s a bit scary to release two albums back to back, but they’re doing it anyway!
“My only fear is that because I’ve put this umbrella over both albums, they’ll be perceived as intrinsically connected. But that was never my intention. I’m just making records. I’ve gotta always want to be making my masterpiece. Otherwise, what’s the point?” said Healy.
The 1975 might’ve dropped the most exciting rock album of the year, but it wasn’t the only one worth the listen. Mitski took the no. 2 spot with Be the Cowboy, while indie band Foxing finished third thanks to their latest album Nearer My God.
