For the Record: Avicii and Robbie Williams Team Up for The Days

• AlunaGeorge have been busy touring and promoting their debut album Body Music, but now the electro duo have debuted new music, presumably from an upcoming album. Check out new single “Supernatural” here:

 

 

 

• She had previously recorded a cover of Tears For Fears‘ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” for the second Hunger Games movie Catching Fire, and now Lorde has just released her new track “Yellow Flicker Beat” for the upcoming Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 film:

• Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics comes out this month, and will include covers of tracks by Etta James, Alicia Keys and Barbara Streisand, as well as her take on Adele‘s “Rolling in the Deep”, with a splash of Marvin Gaye added:
