Cheek to Cheek is an upcoming collaborative album by American singers Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, which was originally scheduled to be released on January 1, 2014. Bennett later confirmed in an interview that the release date had been pushed back to March of that year. However, the album was delayed further, and on July 29, 2014 Gaga and Bennett went on The Today Show to announce that the album would be released September 23, 2014. Cheek to Cheek is Bennett's second collaboration with Gaga, the first being a duet of "The Lady Is a Tramp" recorded for his Grammy Award-winning album, Duets II.

From the moment Snarky Puppy played its first overseas show to a sold-out London crowd, they felt at home in Europe. Recorded and filmed live with a studio audience over 4 nights in the Netherlands, 'We Like It Here' captures the band at its most explorative point in its career, in both composition and improvisation. The film also contains over an hour of interviews, behind the scenes tour footage in Europe, and alternate solo takes from the recording sessions.

《君の横顔 海辺のメロディー 風がさらった 四季のゆめ》
2014年2月5日、Lampニューアルバム『ゆめ』、時代の影に滲み出す。
特定のジャンルや他のアーティストを引き合いに出して語ることが憚られるほどの独自性を纏ってきたLampの7作目。『ランプ幻想』とはまた異なる耽美主義的な志向性が色濃く出た"音楽のための音楽"とでも言うべき内容となっており、とりわけ、複雑さと美しさが高いレベルで調和した「さち子」「シンフォニー」「A都市の秋」等は、ポピュラー・ミュージックを芸術の域に昇華させたといっても過言ではない。彼等に対し使われてきたシティ・ポップスやブラジル音楽、ハーモニー・ポップス等の様式は今作にも見られ、そういう面を期待するファンを十二分に満足させる内容であることは論を俟たない。音楽に対する誠実さ、創作意欲、そして、イマジネーションが見事に結実した新作『ゆめ』には、確かな視線と揺るぎない価値観が貫かれている。その姿勢は"Lamp流ロック"ともいえるだろう。ジャケットには、ロッテ「小梅ちゃん」のイラストレーションや漫画「赤色エレジー」等で知られる70 年代の若者文化を代表する画家・イラストレーター:林静一氏の絵を起用。繊細で叙情的なLampの世界に彩りを添えている。

The singer has now revealed the tracklist on Facebook. It includes the single "West Coast" as well as some very Lana Del Rey-esque titles: "Fucked My Way Up to the Top", "Money Power Glory", "The Other Woman", etc.

LP1 is the first full length studio album by FKA Twigs. It will be released August 12, 2014.

Over the course of two astonishing albums, Perfume Genius, aka Seattle native Mike Hadreas, cemented his place as a singer-songwriter of rare frankness, creating songs that, while achingly emotional, offered empathy and hope, rather than judgment or handwringing. Sparse, gorgeous and with Hadreas’ quavering vocals often only accompanied by piano, 2010’s Learning and 2012’s Put Yr Back N 2 It told uncommonly beautiful tales of a life lived on the dark side –
Too Bright, however, is something else altogether. Less self-conscious, and less concerned with storytelling and easily-digested melodies, it is a bold and unpredictably quixotic exploration of what Hadreas calls “an underlying rage that has slowly been growing since age ten and has just begun to bubble up”. This sharp U-turn came early in the writing process, when Hadreas grew creatively frustrated and uninspired writing what he thought people might want to hear – as he describes it, “mid-tempo Adele songs, carefully plotting each chord and lyric like math” –and focused instead on writing what came naturally, 100% visceral and unfiltered, no matter what the potential reception might be. “I looked to PJ Harvey,” he recalls, “how powerful and raw she can be, and thought, ‘what is my version of that?’”
The resultant album is a stunning about-face which brings to mind audacious career-shift albums like Kate Bush’s The Dreaming or Scott Walker’s Tilt, records which walk the tightrope between pure songwriting and overt experimentation. Here, Hadreas is aided in his efforts by not one, but two unlikely conspirators – John Parish, who plays drums on several tracks, and Portishead’s Adrian Utley, who, as producer, brought the physical resources to flesh out the songs ininnovative ways. According to Hadreas, Utley was the key to unlocking unexplored terrain on the album, using both synths and organic instrumentation to push the tracks to darker and more unreal heights. The album is also rounded off with key contributions from longtime touring band members Alan Wyffels and Hervé Bécart. The fragile yet defiant “I Decline” opens the album, draped in hushed, languorous beauty, but it is an outlier. On the following track (and first single) “Queen”, the line “Don’t you know your queen?” booms out over ominous guitars, not so much a genuine question as a rhetorical one, as Hadreas proceeds to deconstruct gay panic with relish. Even with a wordless (albeit soaring and cacophonous) symphony of a chorus it sounds huge and anthemic, a gleeful kiss-off. He says, “I sometimes see faces of blank fear when I walk by...if these fucking people want to give me some power – if they see me as some sea witch with penis tentacles that are always prodding and poking and seeking to convert the muggles – well, here she comes”.
That mischievous sense of defiance runs rampant through the album. A surreal threat hangs over songs like “My Body” and “Grid”, with piercing screams, tribal drums and electronic stabs highlighting disturbing lyrics of self-destruction and temporary respite from the darkness. On “Fool,” meanwhile, deceptively swinging doo-wop rhythms disguise a story of social mutiny, with Hadreas tearing into the stereotype of “a walking, talking candelabra”, and rejecting it for something much more volatile and dangerous. “I've met people that laugh at EVERYTHING I say,” he muses. “I could be talking about OJ or Munchausen’s Syndrome or bloody stool – I am still just the cutest thing. Here only to enrich their lives, not have one of my own. Make their dress, tell them how great their boobs look and then peace. Isn't he the best?”
Which is not to say that Hadreas has completely abandoned the shimmering, exquisite piano ballads that he is so known for. “No Good” is a heartbreaking meditation on a difficult life lived on the outside but “spent looking in”, while the somber closer “All Along” is a resigned yet firm rebuke to acceptance and reassurance from external forces, preferring instead to find refuge from within – “I have my love,” Hadreas asserts, “and I apply it where I need to”.
This, in fact, is the overarching theme of Too Bright; the connective tissue loosely joining up these 11 stunning, weird and wonderful tracks – the discovery of strength and power where previously he felt he had little. As he puts it, during the making of the album, it felt “like I had woken some ancient beast which began to rattle and threaten to rise.” With this record, consider the demon awoken.

There's a new Leonard Cohen album coming out this year. It's called Popular Problems, and will be released on September 23 on Columbia in commemoration of the legendary singer's 80th birthday. (Cohen was born on September 21.)
The new album was produced by Patrick Leonard and was recorded and mixed by Jesse E. String, with Bill Bottrell providing additional mixing.
Cohen's last album was 2012's Old Ideas.

The album cover, by Designers Republic has been announced along with the track times - Which doesn't match up with the previous unidentified leak.
The album will be out on September 23th via Warp and a press release, including a lengthy (and odd) biography has been shared. Below is a quote:
"Only few and far between during the new millennium, a full-length, 20001's Druikqs, James - has marked the beginning of an arc, and the final new material in 20005. A lot of the music in any way is often a lack of communication and leadership to be fallacious rumors of new material for his fannies and his enthusiasm has not diminished hope. However ambitious this year, 9014, they uncovered new mats in almost a decade distribution crowdfund rallied together his army of fans: A precious gift that can not be the same as the new
Phex Twinnipicks material is still unquenched thirst.
Syria, September 23, 2014, along with records of Aphex Twin's new album to be released. For the owner of Triple vinyl, CD and digital formats will be available. Bleep a very limited vinyl version you can register your interest in buying."
