The first 3/4 of the song is pretty much Kanye, but the last part sees him break out a singing falsetto, which is not doing [...]

The Weeknd has a new album titled Kiss Land on the way later in the year. He just released a new song from the album. It's also titled "Kiss Land" and sits at 8-minutes, almost like his attempt at a "Pyramids." It's almost split up into a 2-part epic, taking a turn at the 2nd half. Lots of cool sounds and parts of them, even if they lyrics made me cringe a few times. Take a listen below.

Franz Ferdinand have finally announced a new album: Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action . That's the album art above. It will come out via Domino on August 27.

They spent the last year recording the album in frontman Alex Kapranos' Scottish Studio, and Nick McCarthy's Sausage Studios in London.
