Kylie Minogue has returned with a new song called ‘Magic’. It’s taken from the pop singer’s upcoming fiftheenth studio album, Disco, and was co-written by previous collaborators Teemu Brunila, Peter Wallevik, Daniel Davidsen and Michelle Buzz. Check it out below.
‘Magic’ marks the second single from the album, following ‘Say Something’. Disco is out on November 6th. It follows her 2018 LP Golden. A music video for ‘Magic’ is set to premiere later today, directed by Sophie Muller.
TV Priest have previewed their upcoming album Uppers with a new single called ‘Slideshow’. Check it out below, alongside an accompanying music video.
“You know those days where you just move from screen to screen to screen?” TV Priest’s Charlie Drinkwater said in a statement. “‘Slideshow’ is about feeling mediated, manipulated, engaged, buoyed and repulsed in equal measures in our relationship to information, digital culture, and the algorithmic pace of 21st-century life.”
He added: “It’s a track that acknowledges that I’m a fully culpable participant in a behaviour ‘market’ developed by faceless tech which insists it’s the best thing for all humanity (as long as it can be monetised). And most of the time I LIKE IT (or at least tolerate it) while I scroll and scroll and scroll. I suppose all I can do is talk… On to the next one, content consumer…”
Uppers is set for release on November 13th via Hand In Hive. It includes the previously released single ‘This Island’.
Jamie Wei Huang, a well-known name at Our Culture, revealed her 2020 Spring and Summer collection via a digital presentation at the London Fashion Week.
The collection was based on a novelette Witch by director Edward Tseng, and transferred into a digital visual presentation. This collection shows just what is possible with the mix of digital technology and creativity.
Kevin Morby has released two new songs, ‘Wander’ and ‘Don’t Underestimate Midwest American Sun’. They’re both taken from the singer-songwriter’s recently announced LP Sundowner and arrive with accompanying music videos: ‘Wander’ comes with a lyric video consisting of raw footage of the Midwestern landscape shot by Morby, while ‘Don’t Underestimate Midwest American Sun’ is accompanied by a Graham Shafer-directed clip starring Morby’s partner Katie Crutchfield. Check them out below.
“‘Don’t Underestimate Midwest American Sun’ is my favorite song off of the new album, and the one I’m most proud of,” Morby said in a statement. “I consider space to be a prominent instrument on the song — and here it is as important as anything else you hear on the track. It was my goal to capture the vast openness of the middle American landscape sonically. To this end — there is a whole track of nothing but Texas air, birds and wind chimes living beneath the song.”
Talking about ‘Wander’, he added: “‘Wander’ is anchored by a lyric I’ve had in my head for the past decade. The hook ‘I wonder as I wander why was I born in the wild wonder’ is even featured in the insert of the first Babies LP. The song is meant to steadily gain momentum before coming to an abrupt halt. It is the shortest song I’ve ever written, and is intended to be played on a loop.”
“We shot the video in the middle of Kansas, showing Katie driving down an empty highway listening to the song on a tape deck, which is exactly the kind of environment I’d hope one would get to experience it in,” he explained.
Sundowner is out October 16 via Dead Oceans. It includes the previously released Waxahatchee collaboration ‘Campfire’.
Tame Impala were the musical guests on the latest episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Back by a small band, Kevin Parker appeared remotely for a performance of the Slow Rush track ‘Borderline’. Check it out below.
Back in August, Tame Impala appeared on NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk (Home) Concert’, performing the tracks ‘Breathe Deeper’, ‘Is It True’, and ‘Patience’. That same month, Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden shared a remix of ‘Is It True’, a track for which Tame Impala also recently released an accompanying visual.
In related news, BTS are set to appear on The Tonight Show for five consecutive nights next week.
Indie duo Tune-Yards have returned with their first new song in two years, ‘nowhere, man’. A reference to the Beatles song of the same name, the track arrives with a music video featuring stop motion animation by Japhy Riddle and Callie Day. Check it out below.
“The song and the video for ‘nowhere, man’ were created under conditions of feeling squeezed and pushed to the brink—relatively, of course,” the duo’s Merrill Garbus said in a statement. “I wanted to ask, ‘How loudly do I have to shout and sing before I’m heard?’ And the video asks, too, ‘What am I not hearing?’ We hope the music brings energy and a strong wind of encouragement to those who are shouting and singing loudly for justice right now.”
Tune-Yards’ most recent album was 2018’s I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life. Last year, they contributed to the soundtrack and original score for Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You. The duo are also set to appear on Sadie Dupuis’ Sad13 LP Haunted Painting, which comes out this Friday.
BTS are set to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon! for five consecutive nights.

We just started the new season and we’re working on a lot of really exciting things,” Fallon told EW. “One thing that is important to us at The Tonight Show is showcasing talent and creatives, so what better way to kick things off than a full week with them. And this is just the start.”
Since releasing their latest single ‘Dynamite’, BTS have also performed at the MTV VMAs, The Today Show, and most recently, NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert.

Singer-songwriter Sophie Jamieson has unveiled a new single called ‘Release’. It’s taken from her upcoming EP of the same name, which is set for release on December 1st. Check it out below, alongside an accompanying music video filmed, directed and edited by Jamieson.
“This song is a search for peace by any means necessary. I wanted to escape how I felt, to blur it and take the edge off it, to indulge in it and then leave it behind,” Jamieson said in a press release. “It reflects the constant effort to balance feeling too much and feeling nothing, the desperate search for equilibrium that only ever ends in chaos.”
Release was produced by Steph Marziano, who has previously worked with the likes of Hayley Williams, Denai Moore, and Lazy Day. Previously, Jamieson previewed the project with ‘Forward’, which made it onto our list of best new songs that week.
Lydia Loveless has shared a new track called ‘September’ featuring Against Me! vocalist Laura Jane Grace. It serves as the final preview from Loveless’ upcoming album, Daughter, ahead of its release on Friday (September 25). Check it out below, alongside a video shot on an iPhone 11 Pro and co-directed by Loveless and Michael Casey.
“‘September’ is a song about the loneliness and ache of being a teenager,” Loveless said in a statement. “I wanted to depict that in the video without being too personal, and we thought Bridget [Christine] and Kyle [Cox] would be the perfect people to star in it. There’s nothing I love more than not being in my own video, so I loved just watching everyone get into character and tell this sad story in front of me.”
Daughter marks Loveless’ first full-length release since 2016’s Real. It was recorded with producer Tom Schick at Wilco’s Loft studio in Chicago and includes the previously released singles ‘Wringer’ and ‘Love is Not Enough’.
METZ have released a new song from their forthcoming record, Atlas Vending. It’s called ‘Blind Youth Industrial Park’ and it arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Dylan Pharazyn and shot in Queenstown, on the South Island of New Zealand. Watch it below.
Speaking about the inspiration for the video, Pharalzyn explained: “I started thinking of the feeling of war or samurai films, beautiful but dark and violent… but then I had this idea to work up a more unique world… I started to think of a more futuristic setting – more unusual and dream-like with the story set on a distant planet where there is future technology and some kind of alien magic… like a futuristic fable. I loved the idea of the hero Ayeth on this nomadic walk through an epic landscape… I loved the strength in her and the pairing of her with a wounded companion, something really human and vulnerable… I wanted that emotive warmth countering the cold military images.”
Atlas Vending, the follow-up to 2017’s Strange Peace, is out October 9 via Sub Pop. Previously, METZ shared the singles ‘Hail Taxi’ and ‘A Boat to Drown In’.
