Click to listen to the Constellations' 'Right Where I Belong'

With "Right Where I Belong," Atlanta's Constellations return with more of their silky rock spiced with soul. The track ambles along a swaying keyboard groove, with sassy finger snaps and singer Elijah Jones' calm crooning – a perfect soundtrack to a bright summer stroll.

After some heavy touring since their 2010 debut album, Southern Gothic, the band felt their sound was primed for a natural revamp. On their next record, Do It for Free, the Constellations look to ease up on the rapping, embracing more blues and melodies to create something more soulful this time around. Free is set for a June 12th release on 429 Records, but you can download "Right Where I Belong" now.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
