The colorful Solange takes us around Brooklyn in her newest video for the 80s inspired "Locked in Closets." Love the energy this lady always brings to all her visuals.

We've got a special treat for out of towners that'll be missing the Alice Russell show at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC tonight. Tune in here around 10.30pm to watch the entire show on a live stream!

For New Yorkers on that last minute tip, you can still make your way over to LPR and get in on the live action about to go down. Having been almost five years since her last show in NYC, you know this one's about to be something epic. Check out more details on our event page.

The Child of Lov is one intriguing fella with an increasingly anticipated debut album. This last week he dropped two tracks to preview the upcoming effort. Love the dark yet playful sing-song of "One Day" featuring Damon Albarn as well as the kicked up sinister feel combined with the already menacing DOOM on "Owl." Watch out!

Producer Kaytranada is steady building steam with hard-knocking beats difficult to miss. "Holy Hole Inna Donut" represents his medley of electronic music quite well, and is now complemented by a somewhat esoteric video of vignettes that only elevates the mysterious mood.
