As well as a new EP (All the Delighted People) dropping, Sufjan reports this week that his first album in five years will be out this October.

Cee-Lo Green’s forthcoming album ‘The Ladykiller’ was always destined to be successful. Green’s current profile (thanks mostly in part, to the Gnarls Barkley project) has seen him supersede the reputation he built with Goodie Mob to be a fully fledged modern Soul icon.
