Big Freedia, 3rd Ward Bounce (EP) | Album Review

New Orleans bounce musician Big Freedia returns chocked-full of attitude, energy, and feistiness on her electrifying EP, ‘3rd Ward Bounce.’

Following a six-year hiatus, popular, eclectic rock band Dave Matthews Band, comes back in top-notch form on ‘Come Tomorrow.’

Artists gracing “11 Colorful Songs About Various Bugs” include Blake Shelton, Kacey Musgraves, Red Fang, Wolf Parade, and Zedd among others.

Yellow Claw continues releasing singles in advance of their new album, ‘New Blood.’ “Public Enemy” pairs the Dutch duo with DJ Snake.

Interpol returns after a four-year hiatus with its sixth studio album, ‘Marauder.’ The dark, spirited “The Rover” serves as the set’s promo single.

Jeremih and Ty Dolla $ign start the summer off right with the groovy, if shallow sex record, “The Light.” It’s not deep, but it’s certainly lit.

Rapper/Singer DeJ Loaf and throwback soul singer Leon Bridges make a formidable team on the socially-conscious single, “Liberated.”

15-year old Australian pop singer Ruel sounds more mature beyond his years on “Younger,” an advanced single from his debut EP, ‘Ready.’

‘Goin’ solo’ without a vocal collaborator on his latest release, Marshmello impresses on his brief, but jam-packed instrumental single, “Tell Me.”

Boy band Why Don’t We are ‘innocently naughty’ on their innuendo-heavy new single, “Hooked.” Despite her bad reputation, the boys are ‘hooked.’

Swedish alternative pop standout Lykke Li returns following a four-year hiatus with a short-but-sweet fourth studio album, ‘so sad so sexy.’

Playlist “15 Songs That Reference Stars” features songs courtesy of Arctic Monkeys, Bazzi, and Kendrick Lamar & SZA, among others.
