So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
K.D. LANG – “BECAUSE OF YOU” (TONY BENNETT COVER)
“The indelible imprint of this man. How can we possibly express our gratitude? Only perhaps by understanding the power of a good song, and the generosity of a great singer,” the great k.d. lang said in tribute to the late Tony Bennett, covering this classic for CBS News Sunday Morning that’s now been released to streaming services.
