New Release Report 8/30/11…Or Is It 8/29/11??
This week’s not a typical new release week. Why? Because this week’s releases came out on Monday as opposed to Tuesday. So, our column’s late, and you may have very well purchased one or more of this week’s new albums already. So while this column might be giving you information you already know, hopefully you still find it quite enjoyable! Have you read our reviews of Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ I’m With You yet? You should. Even though Drew […]
New Release Report 6/21/11: “The Light of” Jill Scott & More!
BIG release week-for me anyway. There are at least four albums that will make their way into our grubby little paws by the end of the day Tuesday, representing a pretty wide range of genres. Here they are: Jill Scott The Light of the Sun-The Philly soul songstress has to make a solid album to avenge for the taste of mediocrity that lingers in my mouth after her last effort, The Real Thing. With a new label and a new […]
New Release Report 5/23/11: A Day Early for Gaga
It’s here, ladies and gentlemen. The anticipation has been building up since the beginning of the year, and now Lady Gaga’s Born This Way is available for you to take home. The music industry has been so hot to get this album out that they’ve pushed all releases for the week (which would normally be on Tuesday May 24th) to Monday the 23rd. Yup, folks, you can begin your work week with Stefani Germanotta and all of her dance-pop anthemry […]
New Release Report 4/26/11: Explosions in the Aisles!
Welcome to the potpourri edition of the New Release Report, where we have new music coming out from artists in pretty much every genre conceivable! If you like your rock and roll grandiose and epic, you might want to give the new one from Explosions in the Sky a shot. Take Care, Take Care, Take Care just might be the Texas band’s American breakthrough. They’ve received some great press (and some notice in the UK), but they haven’t quite caught […]
New Release Report 12/7/10: King Re-Caged?
A slew of A-list albums are being released on 12/6/10, including new efforts from T.I., Natasha Bedingfield, Daft Punk and Hinder.
New Release Report 11/22/10: Well, Hello Kanye
hip-hop / music / New Release Report / New Releases / news / Pop Music / reissues / rock music / soul music
The week before Thanksgiving is typically the week that record companies bring out their big guns. There will be quite a few major records battling for chart supremacy this week, and most of them will have a 24-hour jump on the average music release, since many of the albums are being made available for sale on Monday instead of Tuesday. Here’s what you should be looking for: Kanye West “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”– Kanye’s fifth album has been met […]
New Release Report 10/5/10: Imagining Lennon Reissues
Following last year’s Beatles reissues, the folks at EMI/Capitol are commemorating what would have been the 70th birthday of the great John Lennon by remastering and reissuing his entire eight-album catalog. If you have the scratch and/or are a tremendous Lennon fan, there is also the 11-disc [amazon-product text=”Signature Box” tracking_id=”popblerdcom-20″ type=”text”]B003TVMIDO[/amazon-product] that contains just about everything the man ever recorded and released. As John Lennon is one of the most iconic figures in popular music, I can think of […]
New Release Report 9/21/10: Wanna Get Your Hands All Over Maroon 5?
I’m scared of the new Maroon 5 album, “Hands All Over” ( purchase on Amazon mp3 ). The first single, “Misery”, seemed like the height of laziness to me. If you stuck “This Love” and “Makes Me Wonder” in a blender, the result would be “Misery”, and despite the critical arrows that seem to get slung Adam Levine and co.’s way, they’re definitely better than that. However, no less an authority on music than Popdose’s Grand Poobah Jeff Giles Y’all has deemed M5’s third studio effort, “Hands All Over”, […]
New Release Report 9/14/10: The Floodgates Open
The last couple of weeks have been pretty quiet on the new release front. Well, folks, brace yourselves. ‘Cause there’s a TON of stuff coming out this Tuesday and for the next several Tuesdays. Let’s jump right into it, huh? Linkin Park occasionally gets lumped in with the whole nu-metal movement, which is kinda sad, because I think Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda have more musical talent in their pinkie fingers than Fred Durst has in his whole body. At […]
New Release Report 6/15/10: Let’s Get Drizzy
For the five of you who (like me) haven’t illegally downloaded it off of the internet, Drake’s debut album, “Thank Me Later” is finally released after a year of pre-release buzz. I’ve gotta say, the fact that “Thank” is on the lips of hip-hop fans everywhere is a testament to the marketing team behind Drake, who’ve apparently gotten hip-hop fans everywhere to drink the Kool-Aid and put their marbles behind a a personality-deficient Canadian former child actor with caterpillar eyebrows.
