“Last Night in the City”

“Last Night in the City” – Duran Duran featuring Kiesza

Duran Duran mixed their Paper Gods album to sound live, so when you see a music video with the band and guest vocalist on stage, you can so easily imagine you’re watching a concert.

“Beautiful Broken” – Heart

The title track from a new album that revisits “neglected” songs from the band’s catalog and also introduces three new songs. This is not the first Heart song that will make you lie awake at night asking, “Who could they be talking about?”

“Fire and Water”

“Fire and Water” – Ace Frehley

If this song sounds a lot like Kiss, it should — the artist is Kiss’s original lead guitarist and the song features vocals from Kiss vocalist Paul Stanley. You’re hearing the two working together for the first time in over a decade.

“Nothing Where Something Used To Be”

Liberman, the new album from pop pianist Vanessa Carlton, has been described as opaque and imposing but it didn’t start out that way. This remix from early in the production process shows how the artist considered a clean, conventional pop sound for the album before abandoning that approach.

“When I Wake Up Tomorrow”

“When I Wake Up Tomorrow” – Cheap Trick
