So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

NAS – “NOBODY” (ft. MS. LAURYN HILL)

Nas’ new album King’s Disease II is out now, and one of its highlights is “Nobody,” which reunites him with his “If I Ruled the World” collaborator Ms. Lauryn Hill, who delivers a stunning rapped verse.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS, CAMI – “LA CHICA DE HOY (THIS YEAR’S GIRL)”

Elvis Costello’s Spanish Model takes the original Attractions backing tracks from This Year’s Model, but adds new vocals featuring current Spanish rock and pop artists. He’s just shared this new version of the album’s quasi title track sung by Cami. “It’s so fantastic to have a singer like Cami singing ‘This Year’s Girl,’” says Elvis. “She’s got one of these voices where the microphone just loves her voice. It’s totally another story with a young woman singing it like this. Cami is telling her story, but she’s so cool. It’s such a hip way she’s singing it.”

THE STRANGLERS – “IF SOMETHING’S GONNA KILL ME (IT MIGHT AS WELL BE LOVE)”

The Stranglers will release new album Dark Matters on September 10 and this new song was inspired by the passing of their keyboardist Dave Greenfield. “If Something’s Gonna Kill Me’ was actually one of the few songs written for this album after we lost our dear friend and colleague Dave,” says The Stranglers’ JJ Burnel, “So I started writing about that. He was one of life’s innocents, and I thought it would be good to mark that point in the lyrics – ‘innocence has left this house’. A song can be interpreted in so many different ways.”

3TEETH – “PARALYZE” (ft. HO99O9)

NOLAN POTTER – “STUBBORN BUBBLE”

Nolan Potter (Knife Ritual, Lake of Fire) will release his second album for Castle Face, Music is Dead, on September 24. Made entirely on his own, it’s a seriously impressive psych-pop magnum opus. Case in point: “Stubborn Bubble” is an eight-minute wig-out that barrels forward with piledriver intensity before leaving earth’s atmosphere for a gorgeous, ethereal midsection and then dropping back into the insane riffage.
