When we picked up "I Care" from the new LP,
Never Enough, we wrote that Brendan Yates's lead vocal reminded us a bit of Sting. And we find ourselves agreeing with those who say this track sounds like it could be a lost Police recording. Which is fine by us. Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Dev Hynes (a.k.a. Blood Orange) contribute vocals on this track, although they don't stand out in the mix.
Here's another group that, like Turnstile, hails from Baltimore. But they haven't released new music in a couple of decades. Now they're out with
Mobtown, which includes this song whose intriguing lyrics relate (we are told) to a 1926 visit to Baltimore by Queen Marie of Romania.
We pull another track from
Billionaire, the Canadian singer-songwriter's album due next month. This is a not-very-gentle break-up song: "People change, people grow," it starts out, "You can take it in stride or slam a door."
Yes we're choosing to feature another track from
Mortal Primetime, following "Champagne Taste," "Nothing Romantic" and "Take Out Your Insides." Got a problem with that?
This duo from Sydney is getting some backlash for the lyric, which has a guy complaining that his girl is "a bitch when she's moody," while also singing that "she's my everything, she's all that I need." Is he being sexist - or is she being emotionally abusive? Discuss.
