If you’re into electronic, then this is your week: dance to Vitalic’s French-house-inspired sounds, or vibe out to Teen Daze’s chillwave, synth haze. For those with other musical hankerings, go to rapper E-40’s collaboration with fellow vet Too Short, R’n’B songstress Macy Gray’s new one, or the latest from power-pop outfit Motion City Soundtrack.
The choices don’t end there: read our playlist notes below for more from our New Music Tuesday playlist, and check out the Rdio New Releases for all the music released this week.
