Charli XCX has posted the video for her collaboration with Christine And The Queens. The track is ‘Gone’ and it will appear on the former’s new album ‘Charli’ when it arrives in September.
Four Tet has put a new track online called ‘Dreamer’.
Janet Jackson is reissuing five more of her old albums on vinyl. The reissue bonanza will cover: ‘Control: The Remixes’, ‘Rhythm Nation 1814’, ‘Janet.’, ‘The Velvet Rope’ and ‘All For You’.
Parlophone is releasing 2001’s ‘The Best Of Morrissey‘ album on vinyl next month. Imagine working on that release. I trust the whole Parlophone marketing team has been provided with an A-Z of stock responses for each and every racist thing Moz might say during the promo cycle for this record.
