Rap Superstar DaBaby Releases Short Film For New Single, “Find My Way”

Hip hop’s newest star, DaBaby (South Coast Music Group/Interscope Records) presents his first solo offering of 2020 with the release of his newest single, “Find My Way.” The single showcases DaBaby’s versatility as the artist shifts between his signature bass-filled flow and a raw melodic hook across the DJ Kid-produced beat. Accompanying the song is a 10-minute short, directed by Reel Goats. Starring both DaBaby and influencer, BSimone, the visual follows the pair as they attempt to secure finances for the rapper’s ailing grandmother, by any means necessary. After posing the ominous question, “Have you ever seen somebody turn into a monster for a good cause?” the film then briefly transitions to music video form.

Camille Delean shares new single “Fault Line (Late July)”

Camille Delean appeared on the Canadian music scene in 2017 with the release of her debut, Music On the Grey Mile. The album introduced the Montreal-based songwriter and vocalist’s work as a self-contained sound world: a distinct palette, stylistically timeless, full of place and character. Through live performances in Canada and Europe with her band—a rotating ensemble of Montreal, Hull, and Toronto musicians—the three years since have seen Delean bend moody, evocative folk-rock further down a path of her own. That evolution is now captured in a follow-up LP, Cold House Burning, the hypnotic documenting of a spiral of solitude.

LESSER GLOW: Atmospheric Doom/Sludge Merchants To Release Nullity Full-Length May 29th

LESSER GLOW was born from an ever-growing sea of noise, swirling together the sounds of humanity into a churning vat of anonymity, in which as individuals, sometimes we are drowning. The Boston five-piece’s debut album Ruined made waves in 2018: a “felicitous nihilistic debut coup” (Metal Hammer) containing “the best doom single of the year” (Visions), making “the excitement of what they might come up with on their sophomore release nearly unbearable upon first listen” (Ghost Cult). And 2020 brings us Nullity, a record doused in an undeniable weightiness, with lyrics and music coexisting in the same beautiful, dynamic, and volatile space. Heavy but not excessive. Massive yet not gratuitous. Meticulous. Focused. Direct.

A soulful single that relies on Mo3’s expressive singing voice, “Broken Love” finds the rapper commenting on his relationships and day-to-day problems, doling out pearls of street wisdom in his inimitable drawl: “The struggle made me hard, my momma gettin’ fed up/Lookin’ out the window, tryna keep my head up/My partner don’t take care of his kids, I told him ‘man up’/That made him mad, but I’d be wrong if I never said none.” In the video, Mo3 shows off his indoor drip, rocking multiple chains and stacking bands–he refuses to let the lockdown stop his shine. “Broken Love” is the latest in a line of video singles, including the topical struggle anthem “Black Corona” (1.5 million views) and the pugilisitic “Beat Em Up” (441k views).

Roberta Flack’s “Groove Me” featured as KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune

A breezy, jazz-oriented number infused with Flack’s velvet vocals and a titillating drum beat, “Groove Me” spins the story of infatuation, as Flack sings, “If you knew what you worked away in me, you’d come rushing to my arms. You’d hold me, and you’d whisper three little words to me. Oh yeah, you groove me.” One of the 12 never-before-heard demos that arrive in the 50th Anniversary Reissue of her debut album, “Groove Me” stems from one of the initial takes Flack initially recorded during her Atlantic Records in 1968, including “This Could Be The Start of Something” and other smooth, stunning tracks. “Groove Me” will be included on the upcoming July 24 release of the 50th Anniversary Edition of First Take.

COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM MOURNS THE PASSING OF JOHN PRINE

Revered singer-songwriter John Prine passed away today. He was 73.

“Made from a mold now broken, John Prine was a walking, grinning argument for human beings as a pretty good species,” said Kyle Young, CEO, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. “In John’s songs, humor and heartache dance together like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. His words and melodies draw chuckles and blood, and tears of sorrow and redemption, all leading to truths widely known but never before articulated. John’s mind was a treasure chest, open to us all. We mourn his passing, even as we hold the treasure.”
