Welcome to the 26th Songs of the Week of 2023. Last week’s Songs of the Week was our first one after a month-long hiatus and there were a lot of strong choices (plus we put together a playlist of all the great songs we missed while on vacation). This week, the pickings weren’t as plentiful, but there were still some new tracks we liked.
A new Super Deluxe reissue of Prince’s 1991 album, "Diamonds and Pearls," has been announced and two of its previously unreleased bonus tracks have been shared: unheard song “Alice Through the Looking Glass” and “Insatiable (Early Mix – Full Version).” The reissue features 47 previously unreleased tracks and two hours of live concert footage.
The Chemical Brothers (Ed Simmons and Tom Rowlands) are releasing a new album, "For That Beautiful Feeling," on September 8 via Republic. Now they have shared its latest single, “Skipping Like a Stone,” which features Beck.
My Firsts is our email interview series where we ask musicians to tell us about their first life experiences, be it early childhood ones (first word, first concert, etc.) or their first tastes of being a musician (first band, first tour, etc.). For this My Firsts we talk to British singer/songwriter/guitarist Jane Weaver.
