Rolling Stone: Must Hear Tracks From New Albums
Rolling Stone’s 40th anniversary magazine lists the must hear trucks from new albums. Enjoy it.
Kaiser Chiefs “Ruby”
This catchy lead single recalls premium Brit pop from the Nineties — only edgier.
Arctic Monkeys “Fluorescent Adolescent”
A lovely but still rockin’ snapshot of a former wild girl: “You used to get it in your fishnets/Now you only get it in your nightdress.”
Bjork “Earth Intruders”
Weirdly affecting Martian electronica, anchored by a singular Bjork vocal hook.
Feist “My Moon My Man”
This jazzy, seductive standout finds Feist channeling both Billie Holiday and a love-struck heart.
Nine Inch Nails “Me, I’m Not”
Reznor’s fiercest and most biting song since his Downward Spiral days — with a killer death-funk groove.
Avril Lavigne “Girlfriend”
Dude! Avril turns out supercatchy, over-the-top pop — and says “motherfuckin’.”
