Retro-funk group the Sugarman 3 will release their fourth studio album (first following a ten-year hiatus), What the World Needs Now, on May 15th. Group founder Neal Sugarman believes the group's comeback record might be their best to date.

"I am really excited about this record," he says. "Not only has it been almost a decade since the Sugarman 3's last recording, but without a doubt this feels to me like our best effort yet. The album was recorded at the Daptone Records 'House of Soul' studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn in just over three nights, and from the moment we all started playing together, sparks were flying."

The Sugarman 3's What the World Needs Now won't be released until next month, but you can download the soulful instrumental "Rudy's Intervention" for free here.

“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.’”
