Click to listen to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' 'Time Keeper'

"Time Keeper," a cut from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' new album The Lion the Beast the Beat, frames Potter's powerhouse voice with an arrangement that contrasts slow-burning organ with brawny guitar and percussion. The new album won't be available until June 12th, but you can preview the song here today. (You can also hear the album on Facebook.)

“Karma Chameleon”

Culture Club | 1983

Boy George has said this song was about standing by what you believe in. However, at the time, he was involved in a secret affair with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. "Now people can understand the songs better," he said. "They were written about my relationship with Jon, and they were also written about being a gay man in a homophobic world." The lines "If I listen to your lies, would you say/I'm a man without conviction/I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction," described his life at the time, he said. "I was selling this big lie."
