Lorde Releases An Emotional New Song Called 'Liability'

(Radio.com) After releasing "Green Light," the first track off her forthcoming album Melodrama, Lorde followed up that single with a new track Thursday (March 9th). "Liability" is a quieter song that finds the singer looking critically at herself.

At just under three minutes, "Liability" is a short but powerful statement. With only Lorde's vocals and a piano forming the entire track, she lays it bare on the chorus. "So they pull back, make other plans/ I understand, I'm a liability/ Get you wild, make you leave/ I'm a little much for ev- / Everyone," she sings, playing with the last word.

On the second verse, she knows that everything she does to attract romance or any kind of relationship ends poorly because she can't keep the facade up for long. "The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy/ 'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore/ And then they are bored of me," she sings. Check it out here.

Drake Wore Kanye West Mask At Recent Concert

(Radio.com) Drake and Kanye West have a complicated relationship: On one hand, two of hip-hop's most influential rappers keep trying to collaborate (remember the ill-fated "Pop Style?").

On the other, Kanye's outbursts make it very hard. The pair serve as both peers and foils to one another: Drake's focused, organized ascent to the top versus Kanye West's peaks and valleys of creative, personal and public turmoil.

Given the context, it's sort of funny that Drake wore a fan-made Kanye mask during a recent show in Copenhagen, Denmark Tuesday night. The "Hotline Bling" rapper accepted the gift and made a quick joke about his new accessory.

"I got the Yeezy mask now," Drake said in a fan video. "Ya'll can't f� with me tonight, now." Check it out here.

Kesha Says Eating Disorder Threatened Her Life

(Radio.com) Kesha, whose public legal battle involves grim details of her struggle with weight, shared a testimonial on Twitter discussing her experience and urging sufferers to seek help.

"I had an eating disorder that threatened my life, and was very afraid to confront it," she wrote. 'I got sicker and the whole world kept telling me how much better I looked. That's why I realized I wanted to be a part of the solution."

In bombshell alleged emails from producer Dr. Luke, Kesha and her team were told: 'A-list songwriters and producers are reluctant to give Kesha their songs because of her weight." Dr. Luke says that the emails were taken out of context.

Nevertheless, Kesha continues to use her unique (and still unresolved) position to advocate for others. "It's time to talk about eating disorders This #NEDAwareness Week, Get screened at http://nationaleatingdisorders.org/screening," she wrote. Read more here.

Singled Out: K Phillips' Dark Wonder

K Phillips released his brand new studio album "Dark Wonder" today (March 10th) and to celebrate we asked him to tell us the story behind the song "Had Enough". Here is the story:

"Had Enough" was inspired by a veteran friend whose tank was hit by an IED. She began writing songs as a way of therapy. She said, "Since beginning to write songs, my nightmares are not what they used to be." She is a hero and she inspired this song.

This song is about leaving. I don't need to be with someone to be happy, but here I am, living with someone, getting in fights, wasting my time, losing sleep, growing nothing.

"And I kicked against the pricks/ just to fall upon a rose/ I watched her bloom before me and I watched her close"

This song is about letting go of the things you think you need. It was a hard lesson to learn. I seem to keep having to learn this lesson.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
