Allow us to introduce you to 4th & Orange. They’re a brand new SoCal pop-reggae band with such a cool vibe. Their debut single “Girl Next Door” is the perfect cruisin’ tune, sippin’ beverages tune, need-to-get-away-from-work tune. The boys from Long Beach have spent the past half-decade honing their writing and musical skills. Now, they’ve signed their record deal and are ready to infect us with infectious melodies and grooves, and storytelling. Make yourself a nice cocktail and drift away with this one. Ah, yes….

Shania Twain must’ve drank from the Fountain of Youth, because she’s still divine. Seriously. We just want to say “hi” to her and touch her hair. We imagine her hair to be like spun silk; her skin smoother than Barry White’s voice……… but on to the business at hand! She still holds the title as the top-selling female country artist of all-time, so why not make a return stop to Vegas? Shania Twain “Let’s Go!” The Las Vegas Residency launches Friday, December 6th at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.  Proving she’s a she-ro, Shania will serve as creative director of her new show, so be prepared for a musical and visual spectacle. Plus, $1 of every ticket purchased will be donated to Shania Kids Can—which provides services that promote positive change in children’s lives in time of crises and economic hardship.

Stone Temple Pilots came into our consciousness in 1992 with their debut album, Core. It sold more than eight million copies and earned a Grammy Award. Their sophomore album, Purple cemented their place in rock history. Hard to believe it’s been 25 years since the release of Purple (June 7, 1994). Yikes! But we still act like we’re 25! Regardless, a newly remastered version of the original studio album will be available on September 13th for $64.98.  PURPLE: SUPER DELUXE EDITION is a 3-CD/one LP set includes the original track listing, plus unreleased versions of album tracks and rarities, along with an unreleased full concert recording from 1994. A limited edition bundle (only 1,000 copies) is now available for pre-order. It includes a bonus replica 7-inch vinyl single of “Interstate Love Song” that was originally released in the UK in 1994. Twenty-five years… wow. Things that have happened in the past 25 years… a lot… we got a respectable job and change our underwear daily. Yeah. That’s about it. Like what you read here?

Musial magic happens when all the pieces-parts are well-done and come together to make a kick-ass punch to the gut. Such is the case with Asking Alexandria's "Vultures." You can feel the pain in lead singer Danny Worsnop’s vocal. Dude has lived what he’s singing. People wanting to take it all, and then take even more. Guess we’ve all been there. Crank this one when you need to release some angst. Because straight-up slapping someone could get you in trouble with the law… Like what you read here?

There are still genres to help people identify with or stay true to whatever makes their ears happy. But as time goes on, the lines are blurred—and new genres are created. For instance, Shaed moved from a folk sound to what they’re calling “dream pop”. If you need a better definition of what dream pop is, just check out their song “Trampoline”. You do feel like you’re in a dream… Who cares what the song is about? We just want to take a nap under a soft, fluffy comforter… See? Dreamy... Plus, the tempo of this song is about the same tempo we feel comfortable with jumping on an actual trampoline. #minimizeinjury Like what you read here?

This dude is just prolific. We can’t even keep track of all the hits he’s had. And it sounds like he’s not stopping anytime soon. He’s back after a year off to enjoy life as a newlywed, to travel and just decompress from his super stardom. He hasn’t missed a beat. We’re partial to Ed’s uptempo tunes. He can flow just as well as he can croon. His latest is “Cross Me” featuring Chance The Rapper & PnB Rock. The musical mashup about staying away from a lady who’s spoken for works. A lot. “Gotta respect the HBIC” Yassssss! Like what you read here?

We have to give her props. Taylor Swift (and her team) knows how to stay relevant, and knows how to keep her fans engaged. The uber-popular artist made a playlist for Apple Music called “Playlist by ME!” So what’s her playlist all about? "'Maybe a hundred bad days made a hundred good stories, a hundred good stories make me interesting at parties' - the lyrics of AJR's '100 Bad Days' pretty much sum it up. Everything that happens to us is just part of a story we'll tell someday. These songs are the soundtrack to my story at the moment. I love this playlist for kitchen dance parties, long drives home, sun-soaked reflection, or aggressive bopping. All songs have been loved and appreciated by ME!" Apple Music subscribers can see what she’s listening to, and create their own ME! playlist. Like what you read here?
