The mysterious new artist The Weeknd, who popped up on the scene a few months ago with the dark and moody gem "Wicked Games," just unleashed to the world a new song from his upcoming mixtape. The song is called "Rolling Stone" and will be part of his Thursday project, which according to his twitter account is coming soon. The song is another dark and introspective cut from him with very minimal production, led by a beautiful acoustic guitar melody and spare drums throughout. If this is a preview of what's to come, then we definitely can't wait until Thursday.

This soulful little jam from Soulparlor feat. Jacob & The Appleblossom was brought to our attention and it was too awesome not to share. For the uninitiated, the group is a collective of DJs and Producers Frank Jensen, Frank Lotz and Tobias Müller, based out of Germany. Their 19-track album Evoluzion is set to be released in June through Tokyo Dawn Records and has them collaborating with a wide range of vocalists whom they consider their "musical partners over the years."
