Lana Del Rey\u2019s tragic new single unveiled! Plus, the latest from\u00a0Rihanna<\/a>, Crystal Castles, The XX and Savages\u2026<\/p>\n Lana Del Rey<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Track:\u00a0Ride<\/em><\/p>\n From:\u00a0Born To Die Paradise Edition<\/em>, Interscope, November 2012<\/p>\n We have to confess: we found ourselves in the \u2018doubting Lana\u2019 camp after a string of poor live reviews and mounting, largely unfair, speculation over her authenticity as an artist in her own right. But, having finally witnessed Del Rey in action ourselves at the iTunes Festival, earlier this week, we\u2019ve moved firmly into fan girl territory. True to her reputation, her performance was indeed fragile, nervous and tragic to the extreme. But it was also powerfully emotive, unique and inspiring. One of the stand-out tracks of the evening was her new single,\u00a0Ride<\/em>\u00a0– a string-backed melancholy epic, layered with the sound of lapping waves and punctuated, as ever, by the voice of a Mulholland Drive-esque product struggling with a vacant life of luxury in the glaring eye of the media. Pop music just doesn\u2019t get realer. Get a first listen to the track, which will feature on the special Paradise Edition of\u00a0Born To Die<\/em>, below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Rihanna<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Track:\u00a0Diamonds<\/em><\/p>\n From: TBC, Rocafella, TBC November 2012<\/p>\n She ruddy loves diamonds, does Rihanna. And this time, she\u2019s dedicated a whole song to her undying adoration for compressed carbon. The single serves as a trailer for the Barbadian star\u2019s seventh (yes, she has released that many already) studio album, which is expected to hit the shelves at the end of November. Check it out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Crystal Castles<\/strong><\/p>\n Track:\u00a0Wrath Of God<\/em><\/p>\n From: III, Fiction, 5 November 2012<\/p>\n Canadian electro-punks Crystal Castles have announced the release of their third album, the somewhat unimaginatively titled\u00a0III<\/em>, in November this year. The first single from it,\u00a0Wrath Of God<\/em>, does sound more like a light-up dance floor being haunted by the tiny ghosts of those high-pitched mice in Babe than a raging deity, but we love it more than the legendary sheep pig himself. No idea what we\u2019re on about either, actually. Best just hit the play button below and take a listen for yourselves.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Savages<\/strong><\/p>\n Track:\u00a0City\u2019s Full<\/em><\/p>\n From:\u00a0I Am Here<\/em>, Pop Noire, 30 September<\/p>\n We\u2019re all about supporting strong, up-and-coming female artists here on GLAMOUR.com, and we can\u2019t think of anyone better to rally behind than the rebel-rousing, all-girl foursome Savages. This, the first track from their live EP\u00a0I Am Here<\/em>, embodies the best aspects of the post punk movement in the UK and spews them back out with a fresh, distinct and inventive edge. Creating something original out of such a well-worn genre? Not to be sniffed at. Pledge your allegiance now.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The XX Live With The Philharmonic Orchestra<\/strong><\/p>\n Track: Various<\/p>\n From:\u00a0XX<\/em>,\u00a0Co-Exist<\/em>, Young Turks, Out Now<\/p>\n What\u2019s better than listening to The XX on repeat? Listening to the minimalist London pop band breathe new life into their best loved songs \u2013 including\u00a0Crystallized<\/em>,\u00a0Angels<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Islands<\/em>\u00a0among them \u2013 with the epic backing of the Philharmonic Orchestra, that\u2019s what. Genuinely one of the best nights spent listening to Radio 1, who broadcast the live show in Birmingham in its entirety last week, that we\u2019ve had in a while. And you get to listen to it all again below.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Nothing further to add.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Click here to view Original Content<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n |\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014|<\/span><\/p>\n
