Here’s the official lyric video for Paramore’s new single “Still Into You” from their upcoming self-titled album. I quite like it. It’s definitely something different from them, but I think it’s great that they’re trying new things. It seems like they’re really feeling inspired again. This song’s energy is infectious.

This obscured album cover comes courtesy of Jonathan Barnbrook, who also designed the art for Bowie’s criminally…

Japanese singer/songwriter Rihwa teamed up with American singer/songwriter Michelle Branch for this lovely duet, which Branch wrote after asking Rihwa if she’d be interested in collaborating, something Rihwa became extremely excited about, having become a fan of Michelle’s music when she was attending school in Canada. The mid-tempo, guitar-centric track is entirely in English, but…

The Knife are back. Next month they’ll release their new album Shaking the Habitual, but in the meantime we have the video for its first single, “A Tooth for an Eye,” to indulge in.
