[Listen] Check Out Kings of Leon's New Single "Supersoaker"

Kings of Leon have offered up the first single from their sixth album, Mechanical Bull. Titled "Supersoaker," it's definitely a throwback to the band's older material.

Listen below.

Mechanical Bull is out on September 24th.

[Watch] Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Get Colorful in the Video for "If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't On The Dancefloor)"

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.'s new clip for "If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't On The Dancefloor)" is all kinds of fun. Pursued by a pair of fumbling cops (played by actors John Ennis and Jay Johnston), DEJJ stay hiddden by painting themselves to match with patterns on walls. As the search continues, the police arrive at a club called The Dancefloor where Daniel Zott and Joshua Epstein are performing. Not ones to deny the power of dance, they join the colorful party and forget all about the misdeeds of the band. Who says that cops can't have a good time?

[Album Stream] Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros Stream their Self-Titled Third LP

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros' third album, a self-titled effort, is set to release on July 23rd, but now its streaming in full courtesy of NPR's First Listen. Check it out here to decide if its worth your hard earned money and time. Frontman Alex Ebert seems to think so, telling Billboard:

"The [new] album is far more rambunctious. It has a lot of songs that are represented by a musically adventuresome sort of feel, where the songs dive off to the left and then come back around the other side of the lobe and meet back up with themselves. That's fun. We've been playing some of these songs live lately, and it's a blast to have this roller coaster ride within the songs.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Tracklist:
01. Better Days
02. Let’s Get High
03. Two
04. Please!
05. Life is Hard
06. If I Were Free
07. In The Lion
08. Country Calling
09. They Were Wrong
10. In The Summer

[Listen] Stream Justin Timberlake's Funky New Cut "Take Back The Night"

Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience Pt. 2 arrives in September, and our first taste has arrived. The lead single from part two of his 20/20 Experience is called "Take Back The Night," a funky number tinged with groovy basslines and disco flourishes. Horns brazenly flaunt and sweeping strings crescendo, all the while Justin urges forward with his trademark falsetto. It's not hugely different from what we heard on The 20/20 Experience Pt. 1, and it makes sense—they were all recorded in the same studio sessions. Let us know what you think.

As for the rest of The 20/20 Experience Pt. 2, it will include eleven tracks and a few surprises. Speaking on the album, Justin said, "I originally recorded a massive amount of material and decided on the 20 tracks that I wanted on the album over a year ago. But, when I was mixing and going through all of the songs there were so many that I loved—I couldn't resist… I had to throw in something extra on the second half."

[Watch] Passion Pit - "Carry On" (fun. Cover)

Taking on Vevo's "Unexpected Covers" series, Passion Pit offer up an intriguing take on fun.'s huge hit "Carry On". Lead singer, Michael Angelakos , takes it back to basics and turns the tune into a stripped down piano lead ballad. It's a very nice rendition that shows Michael's talents off nicely and is surely a nice break from the original which received a damn lot of radio play here in the UK. You can see for yourselves above.
