Snail Mail – the solo project of indie-rock phenomenon Lindsey Jordan – has announced their second studio album, Valentine, and ushered in the news of his second extended effort with the record’s highly contagious title track.
Upon release, the 10-track album – due out November 5 via Matador – will follow Jordan’s acclaimed debut album of 2018, Lush.
Don’t be fooled by the first 60 seconds of Valentine. While Jordan makes a point of enticing listeners with quiet synth sounds, relaxed snare tubes, and lively electric guitar twangs, the track turns into an entirely different beast by the time the first chorus arrives.
Replacing clear guitars with pristine overloaded open chords and upbeat drum beat, the track transforms from a sweet pop ballad into a limitless indie-rock anthem that flexes both Jordan’s gnarled vocal hooks and the prowess of the guitar playing.
The track is accompanied by an outrageous and bloody period music video directed by Josh Coll – whose credits include Kississippi, The Wonder Years and Circa Survive – of which Jordan said: “It was so gratifying to concoct this video alongside of the brilliant Coll.
“Watching a few kinky images in my head metamorphose into this beautiful scenario and ultimately into a tangible visual has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”
Calling the process of writing and recording the album itself “the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced in my life,” Jordan went on the Valentine label as his. child ”and said,“ I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before I released it to all of you.
Valentine was written in 2019 and 2020 by Jordan, who also co-produced the album alongside Bon Iver and Waxahatchee producer Brad Cook.

While nearly all of the songs were released prior to the full album’s release, “Sonata,” “For All Time” and “Lost In Space” are freshly revealed inclusions that had never been available for full listening before. .
The album title is a reference to Armin van Buuren’s radio show – sometimes performed live in front of an audience – which has been running since 2001. It is an extensive electronic mix featuring all kinds of music from various artists, but usually includes music trance as that is the staple that fans have come to expect. ASOT had its 1000th show in September 2020, where over 50 million people attended the event. This reality gives a deeper view of the scale that Armin and the musical series have on the world.
Sander van Doorn, Rank 1, Paul Oakenfold, Aly & Fila, Push, Jorn van Deynhoven, Giuseppe Ottaviani and Susana, are some of the album’s signature collaborations, the 12 tracks brimming with quality nature and keeping the relevant genre because it also pushes it forward.

For ASOT1000 I wanted to do something special. So I decided to make a collaboration album with some of my favorite artists and sat down with them to create some trance tracks that will last at least a thousand episodes for the fans. We put a lot of love into these records and hope you enjoy listening to them, especially as there will be more albums to come in the ‘A State Of Trance FOREVER’ series. Each track, from 123 bpm to a serious rise, will also be a big part of my next sets. So are you ready to go into a trance state?! “
Washington [US], Aug. 29 (ANI): After five weeks, four official public listening sessions and much media speculation, Kanye West finally released his album “Donda” on the streaming services Sunday morning. It’s unclear when the album was released, but according to Variety, a press release from West’s label, Def Jam, arrived around 8:15 a.m.ET. The album’s arrival time thematically coincides with West’s “Sunday Service” performances in recent years. The album, which lasts almost two hours in its released version, has changed radically over the listening sessions. One in Las Vegas, two in Atlanta on July 23 and August 6, and last Thursday in Chicago, with drastically different song orders and selections and star singers. Jay-Z, the Weeknd, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Pusha T, the late Pop Smoke, Baby Keem, Jay Electronica, Kid Cudi, The Lox and many more have appeared in their various incarnations. However, in the third and final event, Jay-Z’s fiery verses on “Jail” were replaced with new ones from DaBaby, triggering a storm of outrage online and several other popular verses were dropped as well. However, the now released version restored the appearance of Jay-Z and other popular ones, previously removed by Kid Cudi and the Lox. The Weeknd’s verse also appears on the album with frequent West collaborator Mike Dean being credited on several cuts.
Veteran producers Swizz Beatz and Gesaffelstein also received credits on eight-minute “Jesus Lord,” one of the most memorable songs of the listening sessions. 88-Keys, BoogzdaBeast, and Jeff Bhasker all received production credits on other songs. However, “Jail” also featured credit for Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson, who made a controversial stage appearance at Thursday’s listening event. Between DaBaby, who effectively proclaimed himself homophobic with his public comments, and accused sex offender Manson, West has been widely accused of trolling the public, among others, after Thursday’s event. Oddly, a ‘Jail Pt. 2’ who apparently credited DaBaby with his real name, Jonathan Kirk, appeared on Spotify’s tracklist but was blacked out and could not be played. This usually happens when the song has not been legally allowed to be played by the streaming service due to a copyright conflict or similar complication. The album’s release also avoided a “release date battle” with Drake which some believe could take place, given the recent social media clashes between the two and the seemingly imminent release of the highly anticipated “Certified. Lover Boy ”by the Canadian rapper. album. According to Variety, West would almost certainly have lost this battle, given the many previews of “Donda” and his behavior that has polarized audiences in recent years. It’s also possible that this officially released version of the album may not necessarily be final. Previously, West continued to remix and re-record items from his 2016 album “Life of Pablo” for weeks after it was released on the streaming services. (ANI)

Following the release of his latest single, My lifereggae and dancehall artist Bugle said he was eager to showcase all his sides on his next album. Scheduled for release in October, Bugle said the project will see him tackle social issues, embrace his dancehall side, while also deepening love and relationships with some love songs. Overall, Bugle said the album will have something for everyone.
“The album will be a mix of everything. I have maybe about 14 songs on the project, and seven of them are reggae, and the rest are dancehall vibes. But of course that will be my kind of dancehall because we don’t go less than the standard Bugle. I have two Spanish artists there; i have love songs on it, which i never emphasized love songs so much before doing a none to mi project. So it’s a variety, because variety is the spice of life, ”he said. “But at the end of the day, mi affi remains Bugle, and no matter what he does, mi affi has the social commentary. I really don’t think there are a lot of people tackling social issues like I do, so I really can’t let go of that. People can’t wait to hear certain songs from me, so mi affi gives them real bugle style anticipation.
The artist said The gleaner that after releasing her third studio album in 2019, the plan was not to release another album so soon. But, with the pandemic having him grounded at home for an extended period of time, he said his studio had become his home base, so the songs kept coming. “I didn’t really want to release an album this year, but because of the pandemic and all the lockdown and everything, I’m just working on an upcoming album because what else was there to do? Besides, I never even promoted the last album because I released it in August 2019, and by the time I start the tour, everything hangs. There is never a chance on the road, so hopefully this one will. “
While not keen on setting expectations for his work, Bugle said he anticipates comments from his fans when they hear about the project. He said that having asked some of the island’s most talented artists to speak on the record, he hopes his efforts will be appreciated. “Mi always has some great features on my albums that help make them great, and this one is no different. On this one, I have Julian Marley and Bounty Killer on a track, I have Jesse Royal and Kabaka Pyramid on a track, I have Nation Boss, I have Jahmiel, and like I said, I have two spanish artists. The album is crazy, “he said.” The intro alone says it all because there’s no music, just melodies, and that’s where I got Tony Gold and Adena Myrie, and if you know them you know they’re extremely talented singers. So with these great voices coming together, that set a standard from the start. “
Speaking of standards, Bugle recalled the comparisons made between himself, Buju Banton and Sizzla Kalonji when releasing his debut album. He said he was surprised when people compared his projects to what he considers two of the best albums produced by a Jamaican artist – mentioned in a conversation with reggae legends stuck with Bugle throughout his career. career. He admits that because of these comparisons, he knows the bar is high for him and that he intends to stick to it. “My albums always stand out and people are always looking forward to them. I remember when I released my first album, Anointed, there were comparisons with Until Shiloh by Buju Banton and The real thing by Sizzla Kalonji. It was amazing to me, because these two albums are two of the greatest albums of my time and I hear people making a comparison, it kind of puts it on a level that I can’t let go, and therefore mi affi always maintain this standard, ”he said.
