St. Vincent - Birth In Reverse

With the jump from her long-time label affiliate 4AD, to the major-label owned Republic/Loma Vista, St. Vincent is ready for a prime-time debut; with a song that almost immediately references masturbation.

"Birth In Reverse," from her self-titled fourth album, features the sticky, chugging bass familiar with her name, is a step in a slightly new direction for the singer-songwriter, who refers to her new record as, "a party record you could play at a funeral.”

Listen to the new single below. St. Vincent is due out February 25.

James Blake - Retrograde (Live on Later ... With Jools Holland)

James Blake stopped by, once again, Later ... With Jools Holland to perform the standout "Renegade" from this year's Overgrown LP. It's an intensely crisp, refined performance, which finds Blake sporting a 1-800-Dinosaur shirt, the name of his new imprint.

Check the performance below and grab Overgrown today on Republic. Otherwise, check out the entire Later episode, which also features spots from Franz Ferdinand and Goldfrapp, among others.

New James Blake - Voyeur

James Blake is seemingly unstoppable right now. The 24-year-old is still a few weeks off from releasing his super-hyped Overgrown LP, and has been teasing with new tracks again and again. This weekend, we got a listen to the brand new "Voyeur," the fourth track heard so far from the LP.

Originally featured on Anne Hobbes' BBC Radio 6 show this weekend, "Voyeur" is simple looped vocal verse with jarring and driving split rhythms pacing the finish. Where it begins in contrast to where it ends, in terms of size and perspective scope is truly remarkable. It goes without much saying at this point that "Voyeur" is shaping up to be one of the year's best and is really transforming Blake into a wholly original and budding star.

Check out the track below and grab Overgrown April 8 on Republic Records.

New James Blake - And Holy Ghost

It's been a little more than a week since James Blake dropped "Digital Lion," another new cut from his increasingly anticipated Overgrown LP, but we've already got another new track to dig into.

"And Holy Ghost," a dizzying and spaced-out crawl with no Blake vocals to speak of, premiered via Benji B's BBC Radio 1 show earlier, but you can listen to the track below via Blake's 1-800 Dinosaur Soundcloud page.

Overgrown is due out April 8 via Polydor and Republic Records.
