Turntablist Cut Chemist recorded "Outro (Revisited)" as an ode to his tough times after being released from jail. "I had a strong urge to run so I made a song that made me feel like I was being chased," he says. The song runs, all right – and at a rapid pace. Mars Volta's Deantoni Parks and Weapon of Choice's Lonnie Marshall infuse it with a rocking backbone, and L.A.-based rapper Blackbird also appears.

"Outro (Revisited)" is the first single from the new album Die Cut (A Stable Sound), which drops today. "I haven't put a band of artists on one record like this since Jurassic 5," Cut Chemist says. "It feels good to work with different people with different musical backgrounds to explore new musical boundaries."

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
