In the News: TV on the Radio Release "Will Do," Dr. Dre's New Video + Kanye's Troubles With Epilepsy Organization


Tv on the Radio, the alternative indie quintet from Brooklyn, New York, have released the first single off their upcoming album Nine Types of Light, out April 12. “Will Do” is a soulful, chimey jam that features less of the chaotic guitar found in their previous works. Listen below.

 
Earlier this week, Dr. Dre released the video for the first single off his highly anticipated album Detox. “I Need A Doctor,” featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey, debuted at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards and now we have an accompanying visual . It starts which Dre overlooking the ocean and reminicing about his hip hop glory days and family. He then rushes off in his sports car, is injured in a crash and Eminem comes to his rescue. In the track, Em thanks Dre for all the help throughout his career and now it seems as though it has come full-circle, as Em steps it up to help out his mentor. It's a really good track, with only one downside; Dre raps for a total of 50 seconds. Isn't it his comeback album? 
 


In other news, Kanye's colourful video of flashing imagery for “All of the Lights” has been taken down, then reposted with an opening warning. The organization, Epilepsy Action, had the video taken off YouTube and other online venues after complaints from people with photosensitive epilepsy said they had a seizure after watching the video. I guess all the seizure-inducing jokes had some truth in them after all. You can watch the video here. And remember, viewer discretion is advised!
