Vampire Weekend reportedly sign to Columbia Records.

According to sources at Hits Daily Double - a fairly reliable music industry insider - Vampire Weekend have signed to Columbia Records.

This means their upcoming fourth album (expected for release in 2017) will not be on XL Recordings, but with Columbia. There’s also hints of the album being set for release during second or third quarter next year (which means sometime between April and September).

Regardless, I’m just excited for some new VW music! I can’t believe it’s been three years since ‘Modern Vampires Of The City’.

Chance The Rapper talks upcoming debut album.

In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra, Chance The Rapper spoke about what’s next in his career.

He said: “What is next? I’ll probably put out an album. I don’t know exactly the format every time when I’m making something, but a lot of times I have an idea, and I think what I’m working on right now is an album.”

It’s so crazy that he still hasn’t even released a debut album - but I’m sure it’s gonna be amazing when it does happen.
