Paul McCartney – Get Enough Last year, Paul McCartney released his 17th solo album, Egypt Station, and now he issued his newest single, 'Get Enough', a song he recorded during those sessions. The song is another of Mc- Cartney's more experimental works, starting off as a typically plaintive piano ballad, with the singer wistfully looking back. But the song soon reveals layers of electronically treated vocals. Bring Me the Horizon – Medicine Bring Me the Horizon have just released their latest track, 'Medicine'. The band's sound has changed dramatically from their deathcore roots, leaning more towards pop music. The song was part of the band's upcoming album, 'amo' which is just a few weeks ago. Along with the song, the music video was released, an effects-laden clip, courtesy of animator Extraweg and art director Oliver Latta. Noname – Room 25 Chicago rapper Fatimah Warner, AKA Noname, has carved out a reputation as an heir to the socially conscious lyricism of A Tribe Called Quest ever since her debut mixtape, Telefone, in 2016. Room 25 progresses Warner's blend of nonchalant yet eviscerating delivery over live instrumental back- ing and rich vocal melodies; highlights include the jazzy calypso of Montego Bae and the D'Angelo grooves of Don't Forget About Me. Ix-Xalpa Turkwas – Stejjer - Carmel Conti Short stories which make you smile and others which take you by surprise or perhaps even set you thinking.

Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You Before he inspired the world with Hamilton and was catapulted to international fame, Lin-Manuel Miranda was inspiring his Twit- ter followers with words of encouragement at the beginning and end of each day.
