1988!

Machine Gun Kelly has announced that his new album 'lost americana' will release on 8th August, with a trailer narrated by Bob Dylan! I assume 'cliche' will be on it, but I'm not sure if any of his other recent singles will be. The song teased at the end with the electric guitar sounds great!

Talking Heads' David Byrne is releasing his first album since 2018! 'Who Is The Sky' is out on 5th September, with lead single 'Everybody Laughs' out now. It's pretty good, reminds me of a mix between George Michael's Freedom 90 & Arcade Fire's Everything Now. The album tracklist has released, and it features a collaboration with Paramore's Hayley Williams!

People are just putting it to emotional moments - https://www.tiktok.com/@greysanatomyl0v3r/video/7483633603109260566?lang=en

Didn't realise Rex Orange County was on a Love Me Not remix - interesting!

+5: Back to Friends +4: Bloodline +3: Undressed +2: Azizam +1: Ordinary -1: Pink Pony Club -2: Blessings -3: Just Keep Watching -4: Family Matters -5: Love Me Not

Indeed. They're in the middle of working on the new album according to their manager, so I expect it'll be 2026.

CMAT achieved her first charting single on Friday as 'Take a Sexy Picture of Me' debuted at #90.

Saved this week: Bailey Zimmerman - Comin' In Cold Creeper - Headstones Ed Sheeran - Sapphire Hot Mulligan - And a Big Load Jessie Murph - Touch Me Like a Gangster Lil Wayne (feat. mgk & Kodak Black) - Alone In The Studio Lil Wayne (feat. Jelly Roll & Big Sean) - Sharks Molly Tuttle - That's Gonna Leave a Mark Rascal Flatts & Lzzy Hale - Life Is A Highway Wunderhorse - The Rope

'Zombie' charted at #73 on Friday - Mr. Blud's highest charting solo single! And highest as a lead artist since '11 Minutes' in 2019.

I don't think Tom Grennan's music sounds particularly acoustic either.
