Daya, Cool | Track Review 🎵

Just ahead of debut album ‘Sit Still, Look Pretty’, Teen-pop newcomer Daya releases her final pre-release single, “Cool.”

Norah Jones rolls out one final pre-release single ahead of ‘Day Breaks’, “Tragedy.” It amplifies anticipation for the album.

The first music shopping week in October 2016 (October 7) comprises of new albums from Green Day, Norah Jones, and OneRepublic.

Green Day drops its final pre-release single, “Still Breathing,” ahead of its highly anticipated album, ‘Revolution Radio’.

Bon Iver, led by Justin Vernon, delivers an ambitious, compelling, and enigmatic third studio effort with 22, A Million.

Shawn Mendes earns another no. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with sophomore effort, ‘Illuminate.’ Drake (‘Views’) slips from no. 1 to no. 2.

Irish pop star Niall Horan spreads his wings and drops his debut solo single, “This Town.” The results are respectable, if predictable.

Ty Dolla $ign returns confidently on his latest mixtape, Campaign, which goes beyond mixtape status but doesn’t quite achieve album status.

The Chainsmokers remain no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while up-and-coming rapper D.R.A.M. takes “Broccoli” to no. 8, with the help of Lil Yachty.

Kings of Leon releases one of its most unique singles with “WALLS,” the second single from the forthcoming album of the same title.

Idina Menzel exceeds expectations Idina. Clearly, personal touch, authenticity, and awesome vocals go a long way to making the LP successful.

Despite new releases from Mac Miller (The Divine Feminine) and Usher (Hard II Love), Drake (Views) returns to no. 1 for a 13th, nonconsecutive week.
