Nashville guitarist and composer William Tyler has shared a brand new “cosmic pastoral” single. It’s called “Time Indefinite” and you can give it a listen below.

Tyler’s last studio album was 2019’s Goes West. Earlier this year, he released Music From First Cow, the original soundtrack to Kelly Reichardt’s new period drama distributed by A24. Tyler released his Modern Country LP back in 2016.

Calling Bronx, NY her home, Rileyy Lanez looks to make a big stride in the R&B world with her new single, “Left 4 Me.”

Documenting her feelings of loneliness as well as the imbalances of a relationship, Rileyy shared her thoughts about the single. “‘Left 4 Me’ is about a time I was so busy dwelling on the person I was with and making their mind up instead of focusing on me. Writing the song was a lesson in disguise.”

Press play on “Left 4 Me” and its accompanying visual below.

Future’s non-profit organization FreeWishes Foundation has teamed up with Atlanta Sewing Style to make masks for healthcare workers and hospitalized patients affected by COVID-19. Atlanta Sewing Style is a community of over 500 local sewers and designers who will create, cut, sew, and deliver the masks to local hospitals.

“There is so much that needs to be done during this crisis and if everyone can step up in some way, we can all get through this together as we serve our community,” FreeWishes co-founder (and Future’s mother) Stephanie Jester said in a press release. “I think that our healthcare professionals are the heroes in this situation and they are risking their lives for everyone, so it is our responsibility to help protect them.”

The new initiative is called the #MaskOn Campaign, and its organizers are currently accepting donations for the cause. “It is important to my brother, Future and I that we are of service to our community, especially during this pandemic and throughout the year,” said co-founder Tia-Wilburn Anderson. “This is why our family created the foundation.”

Earlier today, Future shared “Tycoon,” his first solo single of 2020.

Today has been quite the day in the R&B world. From well-known names like PARTYNEXTDOOR to the lesser-known names like Che Ecru, Rileyy Lanez, and ROSA, our need for new R&B has been fulfilled today. Adding himself to the mix, Jeida Woods shares his new track, “Chemicals.”

The drum-heavy track will definitely stand as one of my highlights from the weekend. Dropping a fiery visual along with the song, the Australian artist completes the trifecta of singer, dancer and producer as a package deal.

Set to appear on his upcoming EP, out in June, press play below.

Japanese rock band CHAI have shared a music video for their new song “NO MORE CAKE.” The visual, directed by Hideto Hotta, finds the quartet smearing their faces with colorful frosting, paint, and cake batter. Check out the full clip below, and scroll down for the single art, designed by CHAI bassist and lyricist YUUKI.

“NO MORE CAKE” is “a sarcastic poke about wearing make-up,” CHAI vocalist MANA said in a press release, adding: “We feel like that you should wear make-up that you feel suits you. Wearing make-up shouldn’t be based on the orders of someone else.” YUUKI elaborated: “Doing your make-up to look like another person is the same as applying cake to your face,” while guitarist KANA said: “We wanted the theme for this music video to be ‘make-up meets art.’ That’s why at times we had our faces looking like cake and then expressed as art.”

CHAI released their sophomore album PUNK back in 2019. They wrapped up a tour with Whitney earlier this year.

Reppin’ both Yo Gotti’s CMG and Lil Baby’s 4PF crews, Detroit’s 42 Dugg has released his new project, Young & Turnt 2.
