With Sonic Highways and the HBO series of the same name, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters have embarked on one of the most ambitious album projects in music history. The basic premise is that the band traveled to 8 cities in the United States to absorb the history and culture before recording a song inspired by each city. Frontman, guitar player, and songwriter Dave Grohl wrote the songs with lyrics taken directly from his conversations with some of the most successful and influential musicians in those cities, as well as inviting those local heroes into the studio to collaborate on the recordings. Stream the full record right here at Zumic.

Sonic Highways is currently available on Amazon (Vinyl, CD, MP3) and iTunes.

Nick Jonas has just released his self-titled sophomore album on Island Records. Jonas spoke to Time about his vision for the album:

I came in really wanting to make a record that was different from anything I’d done in the past, but that was true to my influences: Stevie Wonder, Prince, Bee Gees. And then, more recently, The Weeknd and Frank Ocean. That whole vibe of alternative R&B/pop. It just fell into a really natural place really early. To the point where we were six songs in, like, “Oh, we have a record taking shape.” I came in really sure of what I wanted to do.

Stream the record right here at Zumic.

Nick Jonas is available now on Amazon (Vinyl, CD, MP3) and iTunes.
