Nine months after releasing the triumphant ‘After Laughter,’ Paramore drops the album’s fourth single, “Rose-Colored Boy.”
Calvin Harris returns with tropically-infused single, “Nuh Ready Nuh Ready.” He enlists Canadian urban artist PARTYNEXTDOOR for the assist.
Tweaking his sound dramatically, James Bay returns with “Wild Love,” the wild, starkly different promo single from his forthcoming sophomore album.

Snoop Dogg shines on seven-and-a-half-minute record “Word Are Few,” a single from his forthcoming gospel album, ‘Bible of Love.’ He’s assisted splendidly by B Slade.
Following the thrilling “Ancient Names, Pt. I,” Lord Huron keeps the momentum going on the brief, energetic “Ancient Names, Pt. II.”
Up and coming Los Angeles boy band In Real Life shows promise on single “Tattoo (How ‘Bout You).” It doesn’t reinvent the boy band or pop, but there’s clearly potential.
