News Today's Music News: Listen to Music From Frank Ocean, Sharon Van Etten, M.I.A., and More

Posted by Jackson Hathorn on Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 1:19 PM

New M.I.A. Single: "Bad Girls" dropped today, from M.I.A.'s upcoming fourth album, and now she's rumored to be a part of Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime Show this Sunday.

New (Snippet of a) Frank Ocean Song: For a lot of people he's the one tolerable member of Odd Future, head to his tumblr for a new song posted with lyrics.

Sharon Van Etten's Tramp: The whole album is over on NPR's First Listen and if it doesn't knock the wind out of you I'm convinced you don't have a soul.

Can You Guess What Cory Gunz Was Arressted For?: I'll give you a hint, it's right there in the rapper's name.

It's Been 18 Years: But ABBA is finally delivering a new song (sort of) from the upcoming reissue of The Visitors.

Christina Aguilera Sings at Etta James' Funeral: And does a standup job taking on "At Last."

Three More Songs You Should Listen to Today: Folkies Bowerbirds, Johnny Marr impersonator Wild Nothings, and post punk lifers the Wedding Present all have new songs too.

Keep On Pushing: Everybody needs a Monday anthem (or, a song that helps them get through the general drudgery of life and a world that can seem increasingly indifferent to sincerity and compassion) and this one is mine.
