The Sound Off

UK R&B and pop artist Jessie Ware shared the second single “Share It All” from her forthcoming album Tough Love this morning. “Share It All” is a more relaxed and less acoustic track compared to her previous track, “Tough Love.” The percussion beats are elevated as equally as the soft light tone of the songstress, who pleads to her loved one to open up to her. Tough Love will be available for purchase starting August 5th and has contributions from various singers including Ed Sheeran, Miguel, Drake, and James Ford (Arctic Monkeys).Read More

'Drag & Drop' Duologue's New Single

Here’s something exciting to mull over before fall arrives. Ones To Watch band Duologue revealed “Drag & Drop,” the first single off their upcoming album, Never Get Lost. Employing sumptuously down-tempo beats and a rhythmic bass refrain, the track - like many Duologue songs - grabs at you with a near Radiohead-like hypnotism. The band has been slowly working its way towards its second album, due out on September 9. For now, hear the track and grab a download above. Read More
