Bruce Springsteen Announces New Album ‘Letter to You’, Unveils New Song

Bruce Springsteen has announced a new album: Letter to You arrives October 23 via Columbia. Produced by Springsteen and Ron Aniello, the 12-track LP was recorded with the singer’s long-time collaborators the E Street Band. Below, listen to the lead single, ‘Letter to You’, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.

“I love the emotional nature of ‘Letter to You,’” Springsteen said in a statement. “And I love the sound of the E Street Band playing completely live in the studio, in a way we’ve never done before, and with no overdubs. We made the album in only five days, and it turned out to be one of the greatest recording experiences I’ve ever had.”

The follow-up to Springsteen’s 2019 album Western Stars includes re-recorded versions of three songs that were outtakes from his older records: ‘Janey Needs a Shooter’, ‘If I Was the Priest’, ‘Song for Orphans’. Earlier this year, Springsteen reissued five of his albums: The Rising, Devils & Dust, Live in New York City, Live in Dublin, and 18 Tracks.

Sylvan Esso Share Moses Sumney-Directed Video for New Song ‘Frequency’

Sylvan Esso have previewed their upcoming album Free Love with a third single titled ‘Frequency’. It’s accompanied music video directed by the group’s friend and collaborator Moses Sumney and choreographed by Stewart/Owen Dance. Check it out below.

“We had a fantastic and rewarding time collaborating with our friend and fellow North Carolinian, Moses Sumney, on building a visual world for ‘Frequency’,” Sylvan Esso said in a statement. “He had such a beautiful vision for the project, one that ran parallel to the song’s initial source in a way that showed us new spaces it could inhabit. It’s a beautiful exploration of being together and apart at the same time—we feel it rings clearly in this moment.”

Free Love arrives on September 25 via Loma Vista. It includes the previously released singles ‘Ferris Wheel’ and ‘Rooftop Dancing’.

Watch the First Trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’

Warner Bros. has unveiled the first trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s highly-anticipated Dune. Based on the 1965 novel by Frank Herbert, which was adapted in 1984 by David Lynch, the film is set to hit theaters on December 18. It features a star-studded cast led by Timothée Chalamet as hero Paul Atreides and also starring Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem, Charlotte Rampling, Stellan Skarsgard, and more.

The official synopsis for Dune reads: “A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.”

Villeneuve is no stranger to the stranger to the sci-fi genre, having previously directed Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 – the latter of which was scored by Hanz Zimmer, who also composed the soundtrack for Dune. The three-minute trailer is soundtracked by Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon track ‘Eclipse’.

Bedouine, Waxahatchee, and Hurray for the Riff Raff Share Cover of Big Star’s ‘Thirteen’

Bedouine’s Azniv Korkejian, Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield, and Hurray for the Riff Raff’s Alynda Segarra have teamed up for a cover of Big Star’s ‘Thirteen’. Check it out below.

In a press release, Azniv Korkejian said that the idea for the cover came about while the three musicians were on tour together. “We threw the idea around of doing a song together but weren’t sure what,” she explained. “I was backstage in Columbia, Missouri when I realized it was the anniversary of Big Star’s ’93 reunion show that had also taken place in Columbia. I was fiddling around with the song in my dressing room when Katie and Alynda walked in. Suddenly I remembered there were 3 verses to split up. We played it as an homage that night and every night after.”

Bedouine’s last album was 2019’s Bird Songs of a Killjoy. Hurray for the Riff Raff’s most recent album, The Navigator, came out in 2017. Waxahatchee released Saint Cloud in March.
