Stream Dr. Dog's New Album Right Now

Dr. Dog, the philly natives that never seem to disappoint when it comes to making good tunes are on their way to releasing their ninth studio album in which they call The Psychedelic Swamp. The new album is a reincarnation of the group's first album ever recorded together before the original release of their first studio album Toothbrush in 2002.

They have incorporated the original Dr. Dog sound we all know to love as well as bringing a new element to the band's talent. This is definitely a new direction for Dr. Dog but we are proud to share that our friends at NPR Music are streaming the album in it's entirety a week before the album drops on February 5th. The album includes the two previously released singles "Badvertise" and "Bring My Baby Back" and is absolute must listen.

Rihanna Releases New Album ANTI

Earlier tonight, Tidal accidentally shared Rihanna's eighth studio album with it's music streaming subscribers. Rihanna has decided that the release date of the hyped up new album that she calls ANTI will now be tomorrow January 28th. ANTI will be officially available to listen to only on Tidal and for purchase on iTunes for the time being.

The new record is a follow-up to 2012's Unapologetic which reached astronomical new heights in Rihanna's career. The last releases we've heard from the Barbados goddess were "FourFiveSeconds" featuring Paul McCartney and Kanye West as well as her 2015 smash hit "Bitch Better Have My Money".

Rihanna has taken a new spin to her musical reach and left the ideal radio hit stigma that she may be relevant for. Instead she's dabbling with more of a melodic, experimental vibe to show what she's really capable of. And yes, the new album features a direct cover of Tame Impala's "New Person, Same Old Mistakes" in which is now titled "Same Ol' Mistakes". Go listen to this stunning new album now!
