Starting off the latest and greatest in are Electro-Rock legends Duran Duran and their Giorgio Moroder produced single, “Tonight United”. A track off the band’s forthcoming fifteenth studio album. Nina Nesbitt drops her second song of the year so far the track “Life’s A Bitch”. Be sure to watch her comedic horror themed music video. Singer-Songwriter Matteo Bocelli unveils his debut track under Capitol Records titled “Solo”. If the name sounds familiar it does, his father is opera legend Andrea Bocelli. Zoe Wees teams up with 6LACK for “That’s How It Goes”, a dystopian R&B track about the contrasting light and dark energies in life. We also have some smooth and sultry R&B from Motown Records Asiahn with the track “Fall Back”. The track implores the push and pull between two not yet official lovers.
