<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>After previews upon previews, Beyoncé's "Grown Woman" is finally here in full!<br />
</small></em></p>
<p>It's been a loooong road to "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1704982/beyonce-grown-woman-pepsi-spot.jhtml" target="_blank">Grown Woman</a>." We initially got a teeny tiny taste of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/knowles_beyonce/artist.jhtml/">Beyoncé</a>'s latest track in her <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/04/04/beyonce-pepsi-commercial-grown-woman/" target="_blank">EPIC Pepsi Ad</a>, then we got a TINY bit more when <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/04/04/beyonce-pepsi-commercial-grown-woman/" target="_blank">an extended preview surfaced</a>. Now, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1707720/beyonce-grown-woman-full-track.jhtml" target="_blank">Beyoncé has unleashed her entire "Grown Woman" (er, if "unleashed" is code for "leaked"</a>), and it's seriously better than we could've ever dreamed! But then again, when is a Beyoncé dream anything but perfect?</p>
<p><strong>Listen to Beyoncé's "Grown Woman" after the jump.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-219073"></span>Set to an empowering, thumping, chaotic, tribal beat, "Grown Woman" is a homage to both Beyoncé's inimitable falsetto and the fact that she's a powerhouse diva <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/20/beyonce-denies-pregnancy-instagram-photo/" target="_blank">who doesn't give an eff what anyone thinks</a>! She'll do precisely what she wants and own that ish all day long: "I can be bad if I want/ I could do wrong if I want/ I can live fast if I want/ I go slow if I want/ I'm a grown woman." YES, YOU ARE. And, oddly enough, grown women <em>can</em> have babies! <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/20/beyonce-denies-pregnancy-instagram-photo/" target="_blank">More than one, perhaps</a>? Might be something to consider? Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to listen to "Grown Woman" on repeat while calling all of our exes with a polite but firm: "BEYONCE SEZ EFF OFF."</p>
<p>+ <strong>Listen to <a href="http://andrewpresents.tumblr.com/post/50956008963/beyonce-grown-woman" target="_blank">Beyoncé's "Grown Woman."</a> </strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>Did you know that MKTO is obsessed with Cool Ranch Dorito Tacos? WELL, NOW YOU DO! </small></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Electro-pop/hip-hop/R&amp;B outfit <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/mkto/biography/" target="_blank">MKTO</a> (that's singer Tony Oller and rapper Malcolm David Kelley) met on the set of <a href="http://www.teennick.com/" target="_blank">TeenNick</a>'s "Gigantic" and have been IRL BFFs and musical collaborators ever since. Thanks to <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/utag/artist/mkto/4148738/" target="_blank">their bangin' single</a> "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/mkto/873412/thank-you.jhtml" target="_blank">Thank You</a>" (think a perfect blend of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/chiddy-bang/" target="_blank">Chiddy Bang</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/wallpaper/" target="_blank">Wallpaper.</a>, and a smidge of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/outasight/" target="_blank">Outasight</a>), the boys have been on our radar for well over a minute, and during that time, we got, how shall we say... A LITTLE CURIOUS. So of COURSE we arranged for a little tête-à-tête with MKTO so we could find about about all the things they're obsessed with: things like Cool Ranch Dorito tacos from Taco Bell, totally weird socks, and "Family Guy."</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Watch MKTO's "10 Things I'm Obsessed With" after the jump. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-218874"></span>As it turns out, MKTO are just a couple of normal dudes who are into regular dude stuff! Malcom has an affinity for NBA 2K13 (that's a video game, nerds), while Tony may or not have a pair of bacon socks. Malcolm confessed his love for "Family Guy" (complete with a spot-on "Lois!" impression), and Tony rounded out the list by voicing his appreciation for the phrase "slowly but surely." Yep, you heard that right -- a totally swagged out bro is obsessed with a classic idiom. Whatever, roll with it. Tony also may or may not have mentioned his giant crush on <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/19/ellie-goulding-hangout-fest/" target="_blank">Hangout Fest performer</a> <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/ellie-goulding/" target="_blank">Ellie Goulding</a>, after which he proceeded to "wave" to her and basically beg her to date him. (And how she could ever refuse after watching this video is beyond us.) Find out what else MKTO is obsessed with below!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>Miley Cyrus got snoop'd!!!</small></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/miley-cyrus/" target="_blank">Miley Cyrus</a> has been making headlines all week! She recently appeared at the <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/19/favorite-moments-2013-billboard-music-awards/" target="_blank">2013 Billboard Music Awards</a> to present/<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/19/favorite-moments-2013-billboard-music-awards/" target="_blank">eye roll </a><a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/19/favorite-moments-2013-billboard-music-awards/" target="_blank">Justin Bieber with his Top Male Artist award</a>, announced that her <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1707638/miley-cyrus-we-cant-stop-single-june-3-billboard-music-awards.jhtml" target="_blank">new jam, "We Can't Stop," will be out June 3rd</a>, AND she <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/20/miley-cyrus-kesha-madonna-2013-billboard-music-awards-photo/" target="_blank">kept her cool while posing with Madonna at BBMA</a>! So, what did Miley do to celebrate all of this? She got <a href="http://snoopifyapp.com/" target="external">Snoopifed!</a> And by "Snoopified," we mean she used <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/snoop-dogg/" target="_blank">Snoop Dogg</a>/<a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/snoop-lion/" target="_blank">Snoop Lion</a>'s new app, "Snoopify," and utilized it TO PERFECTION.</p>
<p>Now, for all y'all who don't have Snoopify, here's the quick 411. Snoopify superimposes Snoop-themed stickers on your pictures. You can add golden grills, dollar bills, busty ladies in blue bikinis, cigarettes, "funny-looking" leaves, etc., to any photo you like! Clearly Miley has MASTERED her "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/04/03/snoop-lion-miley-cyrus-ashtrays-and-heartbreaks/" target="_blank">Ashtrays And Heartbreaks</a>" collaborator's app and <a href="https://twitter.com/MileyCyrus/status/336530715804049409" target="_blank">took to Twitter</a> to share her Snoop'd-out masterpiece: "@tishcyrus @SnoopDogg <s>#</s>SNOOPIFY <s>#</s>BO$$ <s>#</s>whatitdonephew." Yeah, so it's our professional recommendation that you take a minute out of your day to "Snoopify" yourselves. It's a super-cheap, zero-calorie way towards instant gratification! (Seriously, seeing yourself surrounded by fake money feels pretty awesome!)</p>

Take a listen to the tune, which sounds like it was possibly recorded during one of her live sets.

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>Alex Aiono sounds like a mini-Justin Bieber and looks like a mini-Taylor Lautner!</small></em></p>
<div>
<p>Meet newcomer <a href="http://www.alexaiono.com/splashpage.cfm" target="_blank">Alex Aiono</a>. He's only 16 years old and already plays five instruments (guitar, bass, ukulele, drums, and piano), which we suspect is probably four more instruments than you play! (Or maybe five, if for some reason you opted for "chorus'" over "clarinet" in elementary school.) Anyway, still fully NOT LEGAL, the singer-songwriter (think <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/cody-simpson" target="_blank">Cody Simpson</a> meets <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/bruno-mars/" target="_blank">Bruno Mars</a>) has already cowritten songs with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/babyface" target="_blank">Babyface</a> and signed a deal with BMG Publishing. In addition, his brand-new record, <em>Young &amp; Foolish</em>, was cowritten with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/john-legend" target="_blank">John Legend</a>! AND did we mention that there's a video? And that it's so effing good, we're basically convinced that Alex is a mini-<a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/justin-bieber/" target="_blank">Justin Bieber</a> who just so happens to look like Taylor Lautner circa the first "Twilight" installment? Yep, we thought you'd be interested.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #222222;">Watch Alex Aiono's "Young &amp; Foolish" video after the jump. </span></strong></p>
<p><span id="more-218751"></span>In his straightforward, Marcel Chagnon-directed "Young &amp; Foolish" clip, Alex sits in a wooden cottage (maybe it's a movie set, but roll with it!) as he casually strums his guitar and sings about the beauty and uncertainty of young love: "I'm young and foolish/ I don't know about much/ But I know this could be love." CU-UUTE! Also, kinda DYING to know if Alex had a smizing coach for this video. Because if Alex's gaze isn't potent enough to win over the hearts and minds of America's teen/tween population, then we don't know what is! Future heartbreaker doesn't even <em>begin</em> to cover it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-218972 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; border: 1px solid black;" title="Drake" alt="Drake dons an afro for his cameo role in &quot;Anchorman 2.&quot;" src="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/buzz/2013/05/drake-fro.jpg" width="405" height="550" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>Drake grows a 'fro and chops for his "Anchorman 2" cameo.<br />
</small></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We've felt a few ways about <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/drake/" target="_blank">Drake</a>'s style: Sometimes he's <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/03/13/drake-gq-style-bible-cover/" target="_blank">totally dapper in GQ</a>, and other times he gets <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2013/05/20/drake-memes-go-viral-during-2013-billboard-music-awards/" target="_blank">meme-ified for his "fashion choices."</a> But NOBODY expected him to reach all the way back to the '70s for his next look! OK, to be fair, Drake does have a reason for this 'fro + chops combo, as he is appearing in "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues"! But you know what? We kind of think he's never looked so natural!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/04/16/drake-james-fauntleroy-girls-love-beyonce/" target="_blank">Girls Love Beyoncé</a>" rapper was snapped filming a scene from the forthcoming Will Ferrell-led sequel in New York City, and it got us thinking of other decades Drake could borrow from. What if Drizzy went '80s with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/a-flock-of-seagulls/" target="_blank">A Flock Of Seagulls</a> haircut from their "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/a-flock-of-seagulls/898559/i-ran.jhtml" target="_blank">I Ran</a>" video? Or he could go '90s with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/coolio/photos/7356826" target="_blank">have tall, braided hair</a> like <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/coolio/" target="_blank">Coolio</a>? All right, perhaps we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves, and Drake looks fine just the way he is, but you can't blame us for trying. So, in short, our advice to Drake would be do NOT make any ill-advised haircut choices -- unless it's for a feature film. Then all bets are off.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>NYC disco kings Escort return with a triumphant new single, "Barbarians."</small></em></p>
<p>Disco is BACK, in case anyone was wondering, and it comes in the form of Brooklyn's 17-piece mirror ballers, <a href="http://weareescort.com/" target="_blank">Escort</a>. Don't look at us like that! Disco is COOL again, and here's why: First, there's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/daft-punk/" target="_blank">Daft Punk</a>'s <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/nile-rodgers/" target="_blank">Nile Rodgers</a>-assisted "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/daft-punk/901793/get-lucky-official-audio.jhtml" target="_blank">Get Lucky</a>," which OK, that's an obvious one, but disco-funk's been popping up in all sorts of other places -- just look to <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/janelle-monae/" target="_blank">Janelle Monáe</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/janelle-monae/" target="_blank">Erykah Badu</a>'s funky feminist banger, "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/janelle-monae/908155/queen.jhtml" target="_blank">Q.U.E.E.N.</a>" So, clearly disco never died; it just took a disco nap (HAD TO SAY IT), and Escort's helping to wax the mirror ball with "Barbarians," the band's first cut since 2012's <em>Escort Remixed</em> and their 2011 eponymous LP.</p>
<p><strong>Listen to Escort's "Barbarians" after the jump.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-218929"></span></p>
<p>Part of an upcoming singles package dropping June 25 featuring remixes from <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/css/" target="_blank">CSS</a>, Rance Muhammitz, and an extended dub, "Barbarians" opens with frontwoman Adeline Michele proclaiming "Stand up/ Stand up/ Bang your drum / Ba-ba-barbarians" over a funk-tinged track. Led by triumphant, pounding drums 'n' cowbell (insert your preferred "<a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/80a71ef8cb/more-cowbell" target="_blank">MORE COWBELL</a>" joke here), Michele's 16 other bandmates answer with an echoing chorus of "Stand up/ Stand up." <em>Aaaand</em> all we need now is a multi-colored club floor, John Travolta in bell-bottoms, a roller rink, and a <em>Pure Disco II</em> dance party. Ready whenever you are.</p>
<p>Keep the ball spinning on Friday, May 24, when Escort perform at Brooklyn's Music Hall Of Williamsburg.</p>
<p><strong>+ Listen to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/escort-records" target="_blank">Escort's "Barbarians."</a></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>Take a romantic trip 'round NYC with Betty Who in her "You're In Love" video.<br />
</small></em></p>
<p>Here's a quick Who's Who on <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/betty-who" target="_blank">Betty Who</a>: The Australian-born, Berklee-schooled singer-songwriter is rapidly bubbling up as one of the year's major Ones To Watch, thanks to her <a href="http://www.bettywhothemovement.com/">ridiculously brilliant (and free!)</a> debut EP, <em>The Movement.</em> The singer's got an arsenal of huge pop hooks and catchy, nostalgic choruses à la <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/katy-perry/">Katy Perry</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/robyn/">Robyn</a>, mixed with the electronica sheen of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/empire-of-the-sun/">Empire Of The Sun</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/m83/">M83</a>. She already caught the blogosphere's attention late last year with the premiere of her shimmering, early <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/whitney-houston/">Whitney Houston</a>-esque debut, "Somebody Loves You," and now she's got even more love to share with her new single and video: "You're In Love."</p>
<p><strong>Watch Betty Who's "You're In Love" video after the jump.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-218736"></span></p>
<p>The swooning songstress is getting all sorts of head-over-heels with her hunky beau in the charming new clip, reveling in sun-soaked afternoons spent in bed and romantic nighttime drives around New York City. It's kind of like Betty Who's very own take on Miss Perry's "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/katy-perry/549638/teenage-dream.jhtml" target="_blank">Teenage Dream</a>," but with far more melancholy undertones: Just like the mixed messages in the song itself, there's lots of longing, pensive stares into the distance and shared tension between the two. Are you two kickin' it or not, Miss Who? We just want to know!</p>
<p>It's all very dazzling and magical and nostalgic and devastating at the same time -- much like all perfect pop music should be.</p>
<p><strong>+ Watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=Lqq5BIjz5hs#!" target="_blank">Betty Who's "You're In Love" video</a>.</strong></p>

<p><strong>NEW ALBUM RELEASES</strong></p>
<p><strong>+ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/daft-punk/" target="_blank">Daft Punk</a></strong>, <em>Random Access Memories</em>: Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the vocoder-rocking electro duo behind Daft Punk, eschew the EDM mainstream with an awesome exploration of '70s and '80s touchstones on their first proper album in eight years. <em>RAM</em> hits the nexus between technology and organic, where synths flirt with warm grooving guitars; robotic voices commingle with emotional lyrics and singing. Guests include disco pioneer <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/giorgio-moroder/" target="_blank">Giorgio Moroder</a> ("Giorgio By Moroder") and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/pharrell-williams/" target="_blank">Pharrell Williams</a> vocals and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/nile-rodgers/" target="_blank">Nile Rodgers</a>' killer funk guitar work is featured on the indelible singles "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/04/19/daft-punk-pharrell-get-lucky/" target="_blank">Get Lucky</a>" and "Lose Yourself To Dance."  Also check out "Instant Crush" with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/the-strokes/" target="_blank">The Strokes</a> singer <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/julian-casablancas/" target="_blank">Julian Casablancas</a>, "Doin' It Right" featuring <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/animal-collective/" target="_blank">Animal Collective</a>'s <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/panda-bear/" target="_blank">Panda Bear</a>, and the space-out euphoria of "Touch" featuring <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/paul-williams-pop/" target="_blank">Paul Williams</a>.</p>
<p><strong>+ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/thirty-seconds-to-mars/" target="_blank">Thirty Seconds To Mars</a></strong>, <em>LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS</em>: Thirty Seconds To Mars go to great lengths for their fans with their fourth studio album, from playing free shows at churches for their "Church Of Mars" dates to <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1702867/30-seconds-to-mars-up-in-the-air-single.jhtml" target="_blank">as far as outer space</a>, where they launched the first copy of their single, "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/04/19/thirty-seconds-to-mars-up-in-the-air-short-film-video-art/" target="_blank">Up In The Air</a>." Their "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/03/thirty-seconds-to-mars-conquistador-lyric-video/" target="_blank">Conquistador</a>" lyric video looks to the heavens as well, with clouds, thunderstorms, and Aurora Borealis providing the visual backdrop. Jared Leto, his brother Shannon, and Tomo Milicevic do eventually head back to earth, though, for "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/15/thirty-seconds-to-mars-the-race-lyric-video/" target="_blank">The Race</a>" lyric video, which plays like an allegory for our animalistic pursuits, with actual wild animal footage.</p>
<p>+ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/the-national/" target="_blank"><strong>The National</strong></a>, <em>Trouble Will Find Me</em>: On their sixth LP, the Brooklyn-via-Cincinnati group The National enlist guests instrumentalists <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/sufjan-stevens/" target="_blank">Sufjan Stevens</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/arcade-fire/" target="_blank">Arcade Fire</a>'s Richard Reed Parry, and vocals from <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/st-vincent/" target="_blank">St. Vincent</a>'s Annie Clark and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/sharon-van-etten/" target="_blank">Sharon Van Etten</a>. Check out "<a href="http://www.mtvhive.com/2013/04/08/the-national-demons/" target="_blank">Demons</a>," where singer Matt Berninger's laconic baritone wistfully confesses: "I am secretly in love with/ Everyone I grew up with." While the band continues to create moody, paranoid compositions with wry lyrics, there is also some sweetness, such as on the yearning "I Need My Girl." Also check out upbeat driving rockers "Sea of Love" (which houses the lines from which the album's title is derived), and the skittering "Don't Swallow The Cap."</p>
<p><strong>Check out more new album releases, upcoming TV appearances, and performances after the jump.</strong></p>

<p><strong>+ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/french-montana/" target="_blank">French Montana</a></strong>, <em>Excuse My French</em>: The Bronx-bred Bad Boy rapper finally sees the release of his debut studio album after numerous successful mixtapes. Among the tracks on the 13-song set are the 2012 summer banger "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/07/09/french-montana-pop-that-video/" target="_blank">Pop That</a>" featuring <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/rick-ross/" target="_blank">Rick Ross</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/drake/" target="_blank">Drake</a>, and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/lil-wayne/" target="_blank">Lil Wayne</a>, the reggae-tinged "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/02/14/french-montana-nicki-minaj-freaks/" target="_blank">Freaks</a>" featuring <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/nicki-minaj/" target="_blank">Nicki Minaj</a>, and the marauding, sexy "<a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2013/05/15/the-weeknd-steals-the-show-on-french-montanas-gifted/" target="_blank">Gifted</a>" featuring <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/the-weeknd/" target="_blank">The Weeknd</a>. The hot fire continues on the deluxe edition, with bonus tracks like "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/french-montana/880865/ocho-cinco-featuring-diddy-los-mgk-red-cafe.jhtml" target="_blank">Ocho Cinco</a>" featuring French's label boss <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/diddy/" target="_blank">Diddy</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/mgk/" target="_blank">MGK</a>, Los, and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/red-cafe/" target="_blank">Red Cafe</a> and "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/11/27/french-montana-rick-ross-lil-wayne-2-chainz-marble-floors/" target="_blank">Marble Floors</a>" featuring <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/2-chainz/" target="_blank">2 Chainz </a>as well as familiar faces Rick Ross and Lil Wayne.</p>
<p>+ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/new-politics/" target="_blank"><strong>New Politics</strong></a>, <em>A Bad Girl In Harlem</em>: <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2011/01/24/mtv-push-new-politics/" target="_blank">MTV PUSH alums</a> New Politics return with their sophomore album. Originally from Denmark, the trio now reside in Brooklyn, which may explain some of the city titles found on their 10-song set, such as "Goodbye Copenhagen," "Berlin," and the album's name itself. Check out the clip for the peppy "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/new-politics/881863/harlem-official-video.jhtml" target="_blank">Harlem</a>," which features some fly break dancing, and <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/05/20/new-politics-a-bad-girl-in-harlem/" target="_blank">stream the entire album here at MTV Buzzworthy.</a></p>
<p><strong>+ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/the-front-bottoms/" target="_blank">The Front Bottoms</a></strong>, <em>Talon Of The Hawk</em>: Last we checked in with New Jersey duo The Front Bottoms, they made Buzzworthy's <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/12/07/overlooked-artists-music-under-the-radar-2012/" target="_blank">Most Criminally Overlooked Artists Of 2012</a> and had released the fun video for "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/02/29/front-bottoms-looking-like-you-just-woke-up-video/" target="_blank">Looking Like You Just Woke Up</a>," which showcased their eclectic <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/they-might-be-giants/" target="_blank">They Might Be Giants</a>-meets-<a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/the-thermals/" target="_blank">Thermals</a> quirky style. Their sophomore album features a similar vibe, but they also augment their sound with the addition of a synth/trumpet/guitar player and a bassist. Check out the acoustic led "Twin Size Mattress" and the catchy "Skeleton."</p>
<p>+ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/air-dubai/" target="_blank"><strong>Air Dubai</strong></a>, <em>Warning</em>: The Denver group's debut five-song EP features a genre blend of hip-hop and pop, which is fitting as the band originally began as a hip-hop duo that grew into a full-fledged sextet. Check out their video for the title track "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/03/08/air-dubai/" target="_blank">Warning</a>" featuring Patricia Lynn.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-218787 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; border: 1px solid black;" title="Kanye West" alt="Kanye West debuted two new songs, &quot;New Slaves&quot; and &quot;Black Skinhead,&quot; from his album &quot;Yeezus&quot; over the weekend." src="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/buzz/2013/05/kanye-snl.jpg" width="550" height="394" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><small>Kanye West broadcasted "New Slaves" all over the world on Friday, then performed it on "SNL" on Saturday.<br />
</small></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When it comes to <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/kanye-west/" target="_blank">Kanye West</a>, attention to detail is absolutely VITAL. Like, if you thought <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/11/29/kanye-west-big-coat-nyc-photo/" target="_blank">Kanye was serious about his giant coat collection</a>, then you'd better believe that he's 10x as serious when it comes to music. (I mean, dude announced <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1699579/kanye-west-kim-kardashian-baby-2013.jhtml" target="_blank">he and Kim Kardashian were having a baby on New Year's Eve</a>! Dramatic entrances are clearly his forte.) Bearing that in mind, we really shouldn't have been surprised when Kanye projected his brand-new song/video, "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1707614/kanye-west-new-slaves-college-dropout.jhtml" target="_blank">New Slaves</a>," from his forthcoming album, <em>Yeezus</em>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1707610/kanye-west-new-slaves-video-premiere.jhtml" target="_blank">on 66 buildings across the world</a>. Who <em>thinks</em> of this stuff?!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Watch Kanye West project "New Slaves" in New York, and watch him perform "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead" on "SNL" after the jump</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-218777"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Rather than going the conventional route of premiering his "New Slaves" video on YouTube or whatever, Yeezy opted for an event that would literally bring people together -- kind of like a pop-up dance party. Except that "New Slaves" isn't a dance jam, but rather a socio-political commentary on materialism and race. "My mama was raised in the era when/ Clean water was only served to the fairer skin/ Threw on clothes, you would've thought I had help/ But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself," he defiantly rhymes on the new song.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But keeping in mind that not everyone lives in towns with skyscrapers to project things on, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1707623/kanye-west-saturday-night-live-yeezus.jhtml" target="_blank">Kanye also performed his new material on "Saturday Night Live."</a> Along with "New Slaves," he premiered a never-before-heard song called "Black Skinhead," which interpolates part of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/marilyn-manson/" target="_blank">Marilyn Manson</a>'s "The Beautiful People" (#Dark #InMyRoom). And to top all of that off, while 'Ye prepared for his dramatic set, which featured stark, primal, anti-consumerist visuals, his girlfriend (and soon-to-be baby mama) <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/tag/kim-kardashian/" target="_blank">Kim Kardashian</a> sent out a <a href="http://instagram.com/p/ZelWh2OS10/" target="_blank">photo of his album, <em>Yeezus</em>, on Instagram</a>. New album, new baby, and new never-before-done video premieres? We have no idea how Kanye's gonna top all that in the months to come, but we do suspect it'll be a busy summer for Kanye. Hope it's not too "<a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/09/17/kanye-west-good-music-pink-the-killers-release-albums-mtv-unplugged-rita-ora-airs-today/" target="_blank">cruel</a>," though. (Had to say it!)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>+ Watch Kanye West <a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/909609/kanye-west-drops-new-slaves-around-the-world.jhtml" target="_blank">project his "New Slaves" video in New York (NSFW)</a>.<br />
