3,2, 1 – New Music Monday (for a Tuesday) / 09-08-26
(3,2,1 New Music Monday Intro)
Welcome to Music That Matters with 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday.
This week: ADÉLA debuts, Kasabian hits ACT III, and Ellie Goulding knows way too much – plus Miley, Shania, and a lost Ben Folds Five recording on vinyl.
(Countdown Video)
3 major album drops.
First up, we have ADÉLA with her full-length debut album.
(ADÉLA “Ain’t in LA” clip)
That’s “Ain’t In LA,” which was the first single from PRIMA.
Title was chosen because it connects to prima ballerina – the top dancer in the company.
You can see some of those dancing moves in her newest video, “Nicole Kidman,” which is not safe for me to play here.
Sooooooo… next artist, please.
(Kasabian “Nothing Better Than This” clip)
Kasabian is back with ACT III.
The third act is where everything comes together – and for Kasabian, that makes sense with this being their third album since their guy Serge took over on lead vocals.
(Kasabian – “Superpowers” clip)
And then Ellie Goulding is back with her sixth studio album
(Ellie Goulding – “Black Prada Dress” clip)
From the title alone – I Know Too Much – it sounds like she might have some receipts.
10 tracks in just over 30 minutes- and It’s being described as part heartbreak, part rebirth for Ellie
(Ellie Goulding “Ravers” clip)
2 new singles.
It’s just Miley with “Bass Persuades.”
(“Bass Persuades” clip)
This is the first single from her upcoming album, also called Bass Persuades, arriving September 18th.
Her bass is definitely persuasive.
Also new this week – Kane Brown with Shania Twain on “Boots.”
(“Boots” clip)
This one gives a nod to Shania’s 1995 classic “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?”
But this time, Kane flips it into more of a guy’s version – and brings Shania herself along for the ride.
(Record Scratch video)
And finally, 1 vinyl pick.
Ben Folds Five’s self-titled debut is back for its 30th anniversary.
which includes the long-lost “Shelved First Attempt.”
Basically, that’s version of the record fans were never supposed to hear.

That’s your 3 albums, 2 singles, and 1 vinyl for the week.
This has been 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday
Until next time.

Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
Mark Wahlberg teams up with the FBI, Dakota Fanning has relationship problems in Alaska, and finally, Lightning McQueen – turns 20.
(Countdown Video)
What’s new? Based on a true story, By Any Means takes us back to 1960s Mississippi.
(By Any Means “Against protocol”clip)
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays a young Black FBI agent investigating the murders of civil-rights leaders.
And the guy he’s forced to work with?
(By Any Means “We’ll be working together”clip)
A notorious Mafia hitman played by Mark Wahlberg.
So basically, the FBI decided this investigation needed… a mobster.
(Dramatic deep breath)
I need something a little less intense.
(The Sun Never Sets “Men’s Bathroom” clip)
Dakota Fanning stars in The Sun Never Sets, where her relationship hits a rough patch just as her ex shows back up.
(The Sun Never Sets “Miss you, Miss you too” clip)
Beautiful Alaska, complicated relationships, and nobody making life easy on themselves.
Ahhhh… relationships.
But finally… Ka-chow.
(Cars “Ka-chow” clip)
The original Cars is racing back into theaters for its 20th anniversary.
And because Lightning McQueen is number 95, September 5th is even known as Lightning McQueen Day.
(Cars “My body” clip)
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From FBI investigations to complicated relationships in Alaska to a return trip down Route 66, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.
