A day before the release of her highly-anticipated new EP True, another cut from the talented Solange is available for streaming. "Lovers In The Parking Lot" is, of course, written by Ms. Knowles herself. It—like the rest of the EP—is produced by Dev Hynes.
It's not new OutKast—or even solo—music, but the wait is finally over for a new track featuring André 3000. T.I. has delivered his new cut "Sorry," which includes contributions from the man who seems willing to make guest spots on others' music, but not his own. The latest single from T.I.'s upcoming album Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head includes a notable shout out from André to fellow rapper and one-half of OutKast Big Boi: "Sorry for f---ing up the tour; I hated all the attention so I ran from it...Why we trying so hard to be stars?"
50 Cent has fans anxiously waiting for his next single "My Life," which is due Tuesday, but until then, a 30-second clip is now available. The new track features Eminem and Adam Levine (seriously). The artwork is seen left, with a corresponding video—already shot in Detroit by director Rich Lee—to be released soon.
ON AN ON has released "The Hunter," the second song from their forthcoming debut album Give In, out Jan. 29 via Roll Call Records. "The Hunter" comes on the heels of their incredibly well-received debut single "Ghosts" ahead of our selection of the band as one of our FutureSounds.

Fiona Apple's song "Dull Tool," which is set to appear in the upcoming Judd Apatow movie This is 40, has leaked a little early online. Apple's original track is part of a soundtrack that includes Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Norah Jones, Ryan Adams, Paul Simon, The Avett Brothers and more. According to Rolling Stone, "Dull Tool" makes the singer eligible for an Academy Award for the first time because it's the only original song she's ever recorded for a film.

Just in time for the weekend, Def Jam Records has released a remix version of Rihanna's "Diamonds," the lead single to her seventh album (yeah, seriously) Unapologetic, which releases on Monday. The new version features none other than Kanye West at the track's opening, unloading for nearly two straight minutes. Ye samples The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air before also giving a shout out to the east coast for enduring superstorm Sandy.
Days before her album Unapologetic releases, Rihanna's collaboration with rapper Eminem "Numb" is one of several tracks to surface online. The new cut, which is Eminem's effort to return the favor by the Barbadian singer's appearance on his 2010 hit "Love The Way You Lie," also samples Kanye West.

A new version has been released of Kanye West’s "White Dress," his contribution to The Man With the Iron Fists soundtrack. This alternate take of “White Dress” is certainly a bare bones approach compared to the original, and the ending is different, but it's hard not to enjoy it just as much. Listen to both versions of the track below.
Only a week after President Obama's re-election, his post-win speech now appears on Wale's latest track "Freedom of Speech," which the rapper debuted Wednesday. Opening with chords reminiscent of John Mayer's "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" before moving into an inspirational set of lyrics that comment on the climate of society, the song proclaims: "I voted once and I prayed three times / you tell me which one means more." Portions of the President's speech run throughout the cut, which is a prelude to a new project Wale also confirmed on Wednesday. Folarin, a combined effort with DJ Clark Kent, will release on Dec. 24.
Christmas comes early this year with the new release from Sufjan Stevens. The singer, whose new music has been highly-anticipated, has unloaded a wealth of tracks -- 58 to be exact -- which were recorded over the last six years. Silver and Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10 features collaborators Aaron and Bryce Dessner (The National), Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire), Cat Martino, and more.
