3. Christian hard rockers in
RED released a new music video this week for "Darkest Part," the lead single from new album
Of Beauty and Rage. The highly conceptual music video features imagery from the album's cover and ties together both the promo videos the group has been releasing for the album and prior music videos from the past two album. It's a music video that feels more like a short film, and well worth checking out.
4. If you've noticed that
Everfound's been keeping a little uncharacteristically quiet lately, it's for a good cause. The group broke social media silence to share that they have been holed up in a cabin in Franklin, Tennessee, starting work on a new album. New music from the pop prodigies is definitely a worthy reason for some online absence.
