3,2,1 – New Music Monday / 06-15-26
(3,2,1 New Music Monday Intro)
Welcome to Music That Matters with 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday.
This week, we’ve got highly anticipated new sounds from Olivia Rodrigo, Sublime, and blink-182.
Plus, new singles from Europe and Lainey Wilson — and for the turntable, we get to revisit the voice of Chris Cornell on vinyl.
(Countdown Video)
3 major album drops.
First up – since I have a 10-year-old daughter in my household, the countdown on Spotify was absolutely watched for this one:
Olivia Rodrigo with you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.
(“Drop Dead” clip)
That’s “Drop Dead,” the lead single from the album.
But I dug a little deeper, and I want to make sure you check out track twelve – “Expectations.”
(“Expectations” clip)
Next – we all remember and miss Sublime’s former lead singer, Bradley Nowell
(“What I Got” clip)
But now his son, Jakob Nowell, has taken over lead vocals, and Sublime just dropped their first studio album in 30 years:
Until the Sun Explodes.
(“Ensenada” clip)
And then we have blink-182 celebrating the 25th anniversary of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
The anniversary edition gives fans six bonus tracks — and because this is blink-182, let’s just call them “edgy.”
So maybe send the kids out of the room, or put the earbuds in for this album.
(“Rock Show” clip)
2 new singles.
The “Final Countdown” band — classic rock legends Europe — have a new song.
(“The Cult Of Ignorance” cut)
That’s “The Cult of Ignorance,” a garage-rock new single from their upcoming album Come This Madness.
Also new this week: Lainey Wilson bends the country genre again with “Phone, Keys, Wallet.”
(“Phone, Keys, Wallet” cut)
And yes, that is John Mayer on the song — not singing, but playing lead electric guitar.
(Record Scratch video)
And finally, 1 vinyl pick.
There’s the reissue of Audioslave’s sophomore album, Out of Exile.
Original vinyl copies had become collector’s items, with some prices getting absolutely ridiculous on the secondary market.
But now, Out of Exile is back on vinyl — newly remastered — and any chance to revisit Chris Cornell is a chance I’m going to take.
Father’s Day, here I come.
(“Doesn’t Remind Me”)
That’s your 3 albums, 2 singles, and 1 vinyl for the week.
This has been 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday
