Ethan Shanfeld Buck Meek, the Texas-born singer-songwriter and guitarist of Big Thief, has signed to 4AD and announced his third solo album, “Haunted Mountain,” slated for an Aug. 25 release. Meek teased the upcoming release with a music video for the lead single, also titled “Haunted Mountain,” which is co-written by Jolie Holland. The album, according to the announcement, is about love and “something bigger than love, something that doesn’t challenge love exactly but stands in contrast to it. A soulfulness, or a soul-seeking fullness.” In Meek’s own words, “Not break-up songs, but an actual love song written in earnest? That is taboo now. Sometimes it can feel like all the great love songs have already been written.”

Kylie Minogue has released new track ‘Padam Padam’, the lead single from her forthcoming new album ‘Tension’ — listen to it below.Last week, the Australian pop star announced that the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Disco‘ would be arriving September 22, describing it as a “blend of personal reflection, club abandon and melancholic high”.First single ‘Padam Padam’ is produced by Lostboy (Griff, Anne-Marie, Tiesto) and features a thumping earworm refrain. “When your heart goes / Padam Padam / I hear it and I know / Padam Padam / I know you wanna take me home,” she sings atop an electronic bassline.Listen to ‘Padam Padam’ and watch the music video, filmed in LA and directed by Sophie Muller, below.“I started this album with an open mind and a blank page,” Minogue shared in a press release.

Minogue goes racy and sexy in this latest single, not that she’s ever strayed away from sex appeal. Some of her recent works have been a bit more tame, with disco and country-tinged albums providing a fair amount of family-friendly fun. But this time around, the Australian pop goddess is speaking only to the adults.“Padam Padam” is all about finding that right man on the dance floor and spending the night with him.
