Coldplay酷玩乐队最新大碟X&Y《XY密码》！
主打歌曲：《Speed Of Sound》首播后成为全世界15个电台频道的热点金曲榜首
《X&Y》是一张很大气的作品，歌曲的包容面很广，音乐有时安静沉潜，有时又营造出宏观且涵盖多重层次的声音，这样阔气的音乐架构为Coldplay开创出了新的畛域。歌词内容也涉及到一些范围较大的主题，像是生与死、爱与失去、拥抱世界等等主题，其中也谈到了要接受一些事情永远都没有完整答案的现实：“在数学的领域里，X和Y经常是答案的代号，但是在生活里没有人能有确实的答案。”Chris表示，“对我而言，这张专辑就是在讲那些无解的问题，还有你要怎么接受你不能解出所有未知变项的现实。”
这张唱片中的Coldplay也向人们展示了自己以前从未有过的进取精神，从“Talk”中Kraftwerk似的电子节拍，到“Swallowed In The Sea”中深受Pogues影响的曲风，整张专辑涉猎了丰富的音乐元素，向人们传递出一种厚重迷人、简约却又壮观的Coldplay之声。

专辑的名字来自一位墨西哥艺术家Frida Kahlo给自己的一幅画的命名。
在这张专辑制作的早期，三名乐队成员各自把对新专辑的想法都写在一张白板上，每一个人的想法都很激进前卫，最后，Chris Martin收回了他的看法。他希望以后有机会再游说他们。"我听到波诺曾经说过一句话，'乐队不应该为钱而分裂，他们应该只为了歌曲名单而分裂，'”他说，在这一点上，没有什么比这更有针对性了。”
乐队聘请了传奇制片人Brian Eno做他们第4张专辑的制作人。并且，他们有针对性地试图排除一切外来影响。吉他手Johnny Buckland说： "我们感觉自己的头三张专辑是一个三部曲，我们已经完成了。因此，我们想要做一些不同的。" 乐队让记者听了一下他们正在制作的歌曲小样，大多数听起来令人耳目一新， 完全不同于他们以往的热门歌曲“Clocks”和“Speed Of Sound”。
好几首歌相当粗糙靠近边缘，伴随着扭曲的吉他和更加突出的敲击。歌词是暗色调的，反复出现了死亡和孤独的主题。其中有几首歌，Martin延长他的声带调色板，其表现大大超出了人们对他以往运用假声的理解，其音色低沉，性感，给人的感觉更个人，更真实。"不管这样好还是不好，我们已经开始在音乐里融入更多的色彩。”Martin说。 "取悦每一个人是不可能做到的，我们经历了这么长时间才体会到这一点。这样说让人觉得自由——可能没有一个人喜欢我们做的这些东西，但我们此时此刻就是想这样做，而且要把它做完为止。”
在新专辑里，乐队探索了各种声波的方向，其中一些来自制作人呢Brain Eno的启发和鼓励。"他不主观臆断，做出来的东西令人耳目一新。”Matin说。Buckland补充说， "他不仅仅是带来声音或其他东西，他带来了对一切事情的想法，甚至具体到，怎样构筑我们渡过的这一天。他的建议让我们停下来，仔细考虑很多问题。”

Late Registration is the second studio album by Chicago hip hop artist Kanye West. The album was released on August 30, 2005, and debuted at #1, selling over 860,000 copies in its first week, the once highest first week sales in Def Jam Recordings history. However, Kanye's next album, Graduation, would eventually outdo Late Registration, selling 957,000 copies. Rolling Stone magazine named it their Album of the Year, receiving a rare 5-star rating in its initial review. It has gone on to sell over 3.5 million copies in the U.S. and received a great deal of acclaim from critics.

If you'd claimed just a few years ago that Shura would make an album exploring "all that love is', few would have been as surprised as Aleksandra Denton herself (nicknamed Shura at a young age). Ever since the 2014 viral hit 'Touch' - and it's stunning video in which Shura, crucially, ended up alone - an impassioned global fanbase have awaited another record of heartbreak anthems. And when Shura started work on 'forevher', she did so at her most tired and homesick, setting up shop in Minneapolis at the close of a two- year tour cycle for her debut album, 'Nothing's Real'. Here, "religion (u can lay your hands on me)' - along with the seeds of the Minneapolis sound - eventually became a lynchpin for the rest of the album. Just as importantly, it was in Minneapolis that Shura began talking to her current girlfriend online. 'forevher,' then, is a record born from a budding romance, covering everything from the initial pull of desire, to the giddy joy of nally being together, to recognising the moment when the connection develops from lust into something scarily meaningful. Here is a classic London-to-NYC love story, but one told through the lter of dating apps and Skype chats. And whilst how to live - and love - as a queer woman has always been integral to Shura, it's remarkable to hear these stories twisted through such a gorgeous amalgam of in uences: Joni Mitchell and Minnie Riperton, Bon Iver and Frank Ocean, Prince and Ariel Pink. Through these inspirations, Shura's own modern, outlier perspective found a newer, more daring approach to sound and song. The luxurious groove of "side effects' shakes off the shackles of past love, chie y saying goodbye "to that more anxious iteration of me. I don't miss her.' "religion (u can lay your hands on me),' meanwhile, is an unabashedly queer sex-jam - free of guilt, long-term future, and faith itself. As the album progresses, so too does the relationship deepen, with the risks and rewards getting greater and greater. 'forevher' is an album that feels the fear and does it anyway: "princess leia' considers the fact real love means having so much more to lose. Elsewhere, "BKLYNLDN' looks at romantic longing through the lens of texts, anxiety-inducing silences, and what presence and absence really means in today's relationships. The record closes on the epic "skyline,' which builds to an explosive crescendo before levelling out to peace in a way that evokes some of the lusher, linear moments on Frank Ocean's 'Blonde'. For Shura, this soundtracks not only her nal relocation to New York but also a much deeper journey as an artist and young woman. 'forevher' feels the same as it's creator: a little sharper, a little wiser.

Following the success of her 2019 GRAMMY®-nominated album “Norman Fucking Rockwell”, Lana Del Rey will release her highly anticipated, seventh studio album on March 19th, 2021. Chemtrails Over The Country Club features eleven songs, including singles “Let Me Love You Like A Woman” and the title-track “Chemtrails Over The Country Club”.

We are pleased to announce Wolf Alice’s debut album ‘My Love Is Cool’ is now available to pre-order on CD and Vinyl. The LP, released on June 22nd, is pressed on gold double heavyweight vinyl with download code and limited edition (first 1000) signed art card.
Long-awaited and feverishly anticipated, Wolf Alice’s debut comes with lofty expectations. Fittingly, then, it’s a record that reaches for the stratosphere. Equal parts gigantic guitars and wistful, wilting beauty, My Love Is Cool is a timeless collection of songs that outweighs any preconceived notions of what Wolf Alice are, or can be.

Until a late flurry of percussion arrives, doleful guitar and bass are Solána Rowe’s only accompaniment on opener “Supermodel,” a stinging kiss-off to an adulterous ex. It doesn’t prepare you for the inventively abstract production that follows—disembodied voices haunting the airy trap-soul of “Broken Clocks,” “Anything”’s stuttering video-game sonics—but it instantly establishes the emotive power of her rasping, percussive vocal. Whether she’s feeling empowered by her physicality on the Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Doves in the Wind” or wrestling with insecurity on “Drew Barrymore,” SZA’s songs impact quickly and deeply.

Brand new album from one of the United Kingdom's most successful exports, former One Direction member Harry Styles.
Features the track 'Lights Up'.
Harry Styles topped the charts, toured the world, and sold millions of albums before going solo in 2016. Born in Redditch, England in 1994, Styles was raised in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, and he made his first foray into music with a high-school band named White Eskimo.
In 2010, he left home and joined the seventh season of The X Factor, where fate (and Simon Cowell) would eventually lead him toward a life-changing opportunity with four other young men. As One Direction, Styles and his group mates Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne would release five albums from 2011 to 2015, hitting number one across the globe and selling millions of records to an adoring and rabid fan base that drew comparisons to the fervor at the height of Beatlemania.
In early 2016, after Malik had already parted ways with 1D, the remaining foursome announced their indefinite hiatus. Months later, Styles signed a solo deal with Columbia Records. Reflecting the influence of childhood favorites like Queen, Elton John, and the Beatles, Styles' solo material took a more serious and rock-based approach, while still delivering the pop sound his faithful 1D fans desired.
With the help of Grammy-winning producer Jeff Bhasker (who had worked with Kanye West and Bruno Mars), Styles put together a small band and, after rehearsing the songs, headed to Jamaica for two months to record an album. The self-titled, full-length work was released in May 2017.

Out of nowhere Eminem has decided to unleash the official artwork for his upcoming album MMLP 2. Calling on his roots this takes it all the way back and should absolutely get Em fans ecstatic about the album, which is set to drop on November 5. Already riding high with his successful single “Berzerk” Slim Shady has the hip-hop world waiting to see what he is going to bring next, in what might be the most anticipated sequel album in history.

On Recovery, his seventh major label studio album, Eminem has reached out to an
exciting list of first-time collaborators, including DJ Khalil, Just Blaze, Jim
Jonsin and Boi-1da, among others
EMINEM releases Recovery just over a year after his last album, 2009's Relapse
Relapse put the cap on an impressive ten years of recorded output, and
contributed to Eminem being the biggest selling artist of 2000-2009. In
recognition of this, Neilsen SoundScan named him their Artist of the Decade
Relapse entered the charts at #1 and, at nearly double platinum, was the best
selling rap album of last year. It also earned Eminem his 11th Grammy award
winning in the Best Rap Album category. Relapse's first single, "Crack A Bottle"
from Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100
(Eminem's second #1 after 2002's "Lose Yourself") and set a SoundScan record at
the time of its release for opening week download sales (418,000). The album
also spun off two other hits; the Top 10 "We Made You" and Top 20 "Beautiful."
"I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year," remarked EMINEM
"But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to
Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a
completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from
Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."

这张唱片确实如开头曲一样，基调非常多愁善感。整体看来没有什么大风大浪，都是一些小甜蜜小伤心之类的情感，就连爱情在这里也变得微不足道，可就是这些奢侈的氛围牵引着情绪的波动，让整张唱片的乐感和情感显得很个人，字调弥足珍贵。Sentimental Heart很有开场曲的样子，平淡如水，在两段副歌之后，和声渐进，透露出小小的伤感。
很难在网上找到这支组合的相关资料，所以无法确定他们来自哪里，曲风什么的。总觉得听这张唱片像是一场全美旅行，随着歌曲的改变，逛便美国的各大城市。 This Is Not A Test像是温暖的加洲阳光，欢快坚定，让我想到了橘子郡男孩里面的蓝天和夕阳。Change Is Hard洋溢着加勒比海的咸味，大家永远沉浸在一片和平的状态，大胆享受生活，我特喜欢里面的那句“Change is hard,i should know ”。到了I Was Made For You这里，镜头一下子转到了阿拉巴马，热情愉悦的氛围弥漫在空气中，农家人的那种朴质纯真呈现在眼前，特别有感觉。Got Me带着我们来到了德克萨斯，缓慢舒服的节奏中西部人民怡然自得地过日子，这让我想起了海绵Bob里面的那只松鼠Sundy，有一集她想起了自己戴牛仔帽在家乡豪放地生活，典型的西部生活摆在了眼前。I Should Have Known Better的感觉是夏威夷的，草裙舞，花环，微风，海水，果汁，满满的，在这支歌里面你还可以听到女主唱隐约的笑声呢。Sweet Darlin＇完全回到了80年代的芝加歌乐队风格，充满了希望，让我想到了Chicago乐队。
当然除了这些，其他的歌也都很好听。I Thought I Saw Your Face Today的唱的部分和配乐之间的搭配速度不均的样子，可却很顺耳，感觉有点用童年感觉唱青涩爱情的味道，钢琴和口哨声显得可爱极了，就是一首偏执的小情歌。Take It Back和You Really Gotta Hold On Me有那点软爵士的味道，小小的庸懒配合着男生沙哑的和声，很适合一个人静静品位。Black Hole也是西部的味道，轻轻松松的。
另外这张唱片有一张没有名字的Bonus曲目来作为Ending，原声态的录音状态，不加任何修饰，应该就是在录音室弄的Live版本，清淡得很。
总的来说呢，这是一张非常不错的唱片，让人充满联想。不仅唱片封面好看，内容也很好听，而且耐听。（资料来自网路）

Lana Del Rey改版专辑<Born To Die: Paradise Edition>9首新曲EP。

Tha Carter V is the twelfth studio album by American rapper Lil Wayne. It is due to be released on September 28, 2018 by Young Money Entertainment and Republic Records.

"Road Trippin’ Through Time" is a radio station issued promo CD featuring 18 of the band’s biggest hits from the Warner Brothers era and in radio edited format.
The Chili Peppers are due to release their 10th studio album soon, and perhaps as part of the fanfare around that milestone release, or perhaps, more prosaically, to refamiliarise listeners with their sound after the break since the last album, they’ve decided to fill the gap with this “Best Of” collection.
It may prove to be a bit much in the same time period for shoppers with a limited budget, but Road Trippin’... does what the best hits collections always do – remind you just how much of your life has been soundtracked by a particular band.
