Tkay Maidza has finally announced the long-awaited follow-up to her 2016 self-titled debut. Sweet Justice, her second LP, arrives November 3rd via 4Ad, while lead single “Ring-a-Ling” is out now.
Lesser minds might call Sweet Justice a breakup album, but the project’s title comes more from Maidza’s newfound relationships with friends like Stint, Kaytranada, and Flume — who produced the record — rather than any ill will she could wish toward an ex. “Sweet Justice was a way for me to channel my emotions from what I’ve experienced in the last two years,” the rapper said in a statement. “It’s a diary of things and thoughts I’ve kept to myself. Making the record was a healing experience and I’m grateful to have worked with producers who have inspired me throughout my career.”
Rather than wallowing in the past, “Ring-a-Ling” sees Maidza happily independent in the present. “I...

Caroline Polachek was Wednesday night’s musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She performed the single “Welcome to My Island,” one of many highlights from her great new album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You.
It’s no secret that Polachek has an impressive and distinct voice, but hearing her perform live instead of in a studio recording just makes that fact all the more evident. With the entire stage pitch black for the duration of the song, the singer flaunted her full range and precise control.
While Polachek unfortunately didn’t do the epic scream heard in the studio version of “Welcome to My Island,” she did kick things up a notch near the song’s end by whipping out an electric guitar right before the final chorus. But even if there were no beaches or palm trees on the Fallon stage, Polachek definitely made her island seem very welcoming.

Flume released the ultimate music time capsule on Wednesday, sharing Things Don’t Always Go The Way You Plan—a compilation of previously unreleased tracks recorded from 2012 to 2021.
The Australian DJ/producer (real name Harley Streten) teased the drop yesterday, posting an image of the album’s artwork—a trippy computer desktop crammed with .Wav files, folders and JPEGs. In a social media post, Flume said that he was inspired to compile the material after seeing the fanfare another previously-unreleased demo, “Slugger 1.4 [2014 Export.Wav],” received last fall.

Australian DJ/producer Flume unearthed an old, previously-unreleased demo to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his self-titled debut album.
Flume shared a bit of info behind the track, “Slugger 1.4 [2014 Export.Wav],” though it’s unclear if the track was made around the same time as Flume and just exported later (as the file tag in the title suggests), or if it came entirely later. “Made this one in Paris, always loved this demo but it never quite made it onto an album,” Flume said. “I figured now that it’s 10 years since...
