Haven’t had enough time to keep up with all the new songs
and music videos this week? Celebrating Rosh Hashanah and couldn’t get to a
computer? Now that the week is over, it’s time to take a look back at what you
may have missed.
This past week has seen an eclectic mix of artists putting out
new music. Fergie cemented her return, releasing five new videos this week from
her upcoming double album. Walk The Moon also returned, releasing a new one-off
single. Bjork released a video for the first single from her highly anticipated
new album while Ed Sheeran put out a new lyric video for his song “Perfect.”
Linkin Park paid tribute to Chester Bennington with the release of a moving new
video. We also got great new music from Marilyn Manson, Dhani Harrison, Prophets
of Rage, Perfume Genius, Macklemore, Cold Cave and ROAM.
If you’ve missed any of the new music released this week, Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, has you covered. Here are seven of our
favorite new songs and music videos released over the last seven days.
1.
Cold Cave, “Glory”: “Glory” sounds as if it came
straight out of the 1980s new wave scene, but with an updated feel. The vibe is
very Depeche
Mode meets Nine
Inch Nails (without the grit). (video)
2.
Walk The Moon, “One Foot”: Walk The Moon have
returned with a new look and a new song. “One Foot” is an upbeat track that feels
like a celebration of life. Its influences are also very apparent as the hook
is reminiscent of those on Kongos’
self-titled album, while some of the lyrics borrow from an early 2000s reggaeton
hit by Sean
Paul. (video)
3.
Bjork, “the gate”: Bjork is known for her highly
artistic music and performances. “the gate” is no different. It maintains a
certain minimal, ethereal, somewhat orchestral quality to it that engages the
mind. The vocals are very carefully calculated and deliberate, every sound
having a purpose. (video)
4.
ROAM, “Alive”: “Alive” is a high-energy pop-punk
song with a catchy hook. The chorus rises and falls like a chromatic scale,
bouncing from note to note. (video)
5.
Linkin
Park, “One More Light”: “One More Light” is a very powerful song. The song
is beautiful, direct and really strikes a chord with anyone who has been
touched by suicide. For the band to release this as a single with a video that
pays tribute to late frontman Chester Bennington and the band’s history is so
touching. (video)
6.
Macklemore feat. Kesha, “Good Old Days”: Macklemore
and Kesha’s past experiences really fuel their new collaboration, “Good Old
Days.” You can really feel the kind of reflection and thought that went into
this song. And while Macklemore has some great lines, its Kesha’s strong and
passionate vocals on the chorus that make the song stand out. (video)
7.
Prophets
of Rage, “Hail to the Chief”: Prophets of Rage released another politically
pointed track from their new album with an even more political video. “Hail to the
Chief” gets directly to the point while maintaining a level of vagueness and
does it all with a thumping beat. Context is then left to the video, which is
pretty brutal in its politics. (video)
These are some of our favorite new songs and music videos
that came out over the last week. Whether you were busy and missed out on the
week’s latest tracks or want a refresher, check these out and start your
weekend off right with new music.
