Happy New Music Friday!
The moment we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived, as BLACKPINK‘s ROSÉ has released her first studio album, rosie. while V of BTS released a rendition of Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” featuring the legend himself saying, “I’m so grateful to have had the chance to be featured in a song with my all time favorite jazz artist, Bing Crosby. Being a huge fan of his, I sang with the utmost sincerity and admiration for him.”
Hozier finally released the third edition of Unreal Unearth – Unreal Unearth: Unending. The 26-song record combines Unheard, Unaired, as a part of this chapter in the singer’s chapter, and features a brand new offering titled, “Hymn to Virgil.” First teased in 2023, inspired by Dante’s The Divine Comedy, the song sees him making it through the circles of Hell on the cusp of Heaven, but choosing to remain in Hell with Virgil. It’s the final installation of this era.
