Ville Valo – album “Neon Noir”
Former HIM frontman Ville Valo has released his first solo album, Neon Noir. It included 12 tracks, which the artist himself calls “12 lessons in reckless selflessness.” “I firmly believe that “Neon Noir” will bring a bit of shine to the pessimism of modernity, which was so lacking”, the artist commented on the release of the album. Valo also released a music video for the title track. From 1991 until HIM’s breakup in 2017, the founders of Finnish love metal managed to release eight full-length records.
A$AP Rocky – “Angels” video
A$AP Rocky has released a new version of the video for the song “Angels”. The release is timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the release of the rapper’s debut album, Long.Live.A$AP, on which the song first appeared. In the video, you can see archival footage of a young A$AP Rocky and his crew. The video also pays tribute to the late A$AP Yams, who has a halo over his head in the clip. On social media, the rapper wrote that on the 10th anniversary of his first commercial album, he wants to “think about the people he misses and the time they had.”
Fall Out Boy – “Love From The Other Side” Video
Fall Out Boy has announced his first studio album in five years, So Much (for) Stardust. The artists also released a video for the single “Love From the Other Side”.

Drake – “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” Music Video
Drake has released a music video for the song “Jumbotron Shit Poppin”. This is the second video in support of the album “Her Loss”, which is reminiscent of a video blog from the life of a superstar. The video does not contain any studio footage or complex scenarios. This is just a story about Drake’s life, which is sometimes more effective than the best blockbusters.
