ASN NEWS USA — SPECIAL REPORT
By ASN News Editorial Desk
CHICAGO (ASN NEWS USA)— Friday, November 13 is a heavy New Music Friday, with new releases landing across rock, hip-hop, country and the global dance floor — and a blockbuster movie soundtrack in the mix.
U2 lead the day with “Carnaval de Luz,” while rising star 2Hollis drops “Pirouette.” The soundtrack to “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” arrives the same day, giving fans new music tied to one of the year’s biggest film releases. The shelves are stacked with reissues and vinyl too, from Waylon Jennings’ “Diamonds” and an Aphex Twin “Drukqs” reissue to Michael Jackson’s “Invincible” and Madonna’s “Evita” soundtrack.
Sounds from around the world
South African producer Thakzin, widely credited as the originator of the 3 Step house sound, releases his new eight-track album “Common Ground” through Sondela Recordings. Built around collaboration across the continent, it moves through amapiano, deep house, afro house and afro tech, with a ten-voice meeting on the track “Maphorisa” featuring Moonchild Sanelly.
And in country music, the Hunt Brothers — Mac, 27, and Will, 26 — release “Rocky Top Baby,” a Tennessee anthem written on a Martin guitar in their living room and built around the feeling of a boat ride down the Tennessee River past Neyland Stadium. The Chattanooga natives hope it becomes a song Volunteers fans embrace.
New Music Friday is where the culture resets every week. This one delivers.
Stay tuned to ASN News USA for the music that moves the culture.
