By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 19 February 2016
Other notable announcements and developments today…
• Tidal has seen a 155% boost in its UK Android users since it bagged the exclusive on Kanye West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ album. According to The Drum, 0.1% of Android users in the UK are now using the app. A threefold uplift, don’t you know.
• I made a derogatory comment about the artwork of Gwen Stefani’s album recently, which some people felt was uncalled for. And now that I’ve seen the cover for Zayn Malik’s debut LP I’m starting to think they might have been right.
• Tired of waiting around for a new Metallica album? Well they’ve just announced that they’re re-issuing their first two LPs – ‘Kill Em All’ and ‘Ride The Lightning’ – on 15 Apr. Which is probably a better use of your money anyway.
• Here’s the video for Miguel’s new single ‘Waves’. And here’s a reminder that Miguel’s ‘Wildheart’ album is very good.
• Mayer Hawthorne is releasing a new album, ‘Man About Town’, on 8 Apr. Listen to first single ‘Love Like That’ here.
• Shura has finished her debut album. It is called ‘Nothing’s Real’. Here’s ‘Touch’ featuring Talib Kweli.
• The 21st Century Symphony Orchestra And Chorus will premiere a new show at the Royal Albert Hall on 11 Mar. Western Music In Concert will provide a live score to some of the most iconic visual and musical moments in the western genre. More info right here.
