    First Listen: Taylor Swift "Red" Bonus Tracks

    October 23, 2012 /

    Last week Tragic Kingdom was the first – and only – place to stream Taylor Swift‘s Red in its entirety. Since then, you’ve flooded my Twitter requesting the bonus tracks – yes, I heard your plea. Typically I’d send you to Target or Wal-Mart to hear those tracks, but I’m feeling extra generous this week. Maybe because the holidays are right around the corner? Or my love for all things pumpkin-flavored has been satisfied with the taste of Fall? Whatever the reason, I’m once again delivering your chance to be the FIRST to hear these six bonus tracks, which appear on the deluxe version of Red this Tuesday. You’re welcome. And as a thank you,…

    First Listen: Taylor Swift’s New Album Red

    October 23, 2012 /

    In 5 days the now-not-so country Taylor Swift will release her highly anticipated fourth album Red.  Over the past few weeks, Swift has released singles one-by-one from the album giving fans a glimpse into the 16-track compilation of pop songs that bear little resemblance to the country ones that came before. In fact with cameos by indie-sensation Ed Sheeran and Snow Patrol‘s Gary Lightbody it seems like a record suited for more praise by music blogs than mainstream outlets. And maybe it’s just that which makes it all just a bit coincidental that a blog – this one – which once chose not to feature the teenage sensation is now premiering her entire…

    In anticipation of Rihanna‘s fall release, you can check out her new single “Diamonds” right now on Tragic Kingdom. The new single kicks off the seventh album from the R&B diva, who has been in out of the news lately regarding her rocky, and often times, confusing love life. If this single indicates anything, it looks like things are back on track for the singer, who’s last few records have been quite dark following the public beat down she suffered from then-boyfriend Chris Brown. Listen to the single below and pick it up on iTunes later this week.
