It’s another great week packed with new releases for the Music Unlimited service! We’re busy hosting a ton of great artists at SXSW like Joey Bada$$, but for those of you who couldn’t make it out to Austin, head over to the Sony Entertainment Network blog for updates. Meanwhile, below is a quick update on the service’s artist highlights for this week:
Sound City – Real to Reel
Last month, Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl solidified himself as the ambassador of cool, making his directorial debut on the film Sound City. Grohl commissioned his famous friends to speak to the infamous sound studio in Los Angeles, where iconic albums like Nevermind & Rumours were recorded. The first part of the film goes through the history, while the rest features a star-studded line-up including Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, Rick Springfield and more collaborating on brand new material for this album. In the film, you get to watch as Grohl geeks out while working with Paul McCartney and now you get to hear it, too.

Recommended Track: “You Can’t Fix This”
Bon Jovi – What About Now
Jon and the boys return, four years after their last studio album The Circle in 2009. This album will be supported by an extensive “Because We Can” worldwide tour, which seems to be exactly what these songs were written for. The pomp and circumstance seems woven together with an arena audience in mind, likely accompanied by speaker-stands and air-kicks in the studio. The tour picks continues this week through the Midwest and Texas, moving on into Canada and snaking out west before South Africa, Europe and more. See the full list of dates here.

Recommended Track: “Room at the End of the World”
David Bowie – The Next Day
While Bowie became a household name in the 70’s and has recorded 20+ albums since, there has been an entire decade between this latest effort and his last, Reality, in 2003. A wave of buzz rushed over the internet after the album, recorded mostly in secrecy over a lengthy two years, was announced. Once parts were recorded, he would carefully consider each (one time an entire four months) before bringing the band back to continue. He led with the release of the single, “Where Are We Now,” an appropriate rhetoric to the answer of “right here, right now,” while Bowie reclaims his throne with other musical legends.

Recommended Track: “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)”
