New wave band Haircut One Hundred (also often stylized as Haircut 100, sometimes in the same press release) have made their first new album with original singer/songwriter Nick Heyward, who wrote all their early-’80s hits, in 42 years. Details on that are still to be announced, but today they share its first single, “The Unloving Plum.” With a blast of breezy horns, they’re back, and “The Unloving Plum” finds Heyward still a master of easy pop melodies and clever turns of phrase. It’s a little more in line with his jangly solo work than the tropical funk of “Favourite Shirt” or “Love Plus 100.” Listen below.

Check it out below, and stay tuned for the video premiering at noon.

Brighton, UK rap duo Rizzle Kicks may not have picked the best week to announce they’re back, but they have good humor about it. The group, who had a string of UK hits — including “Down with the Trumpets,” “Mama Do the Hump,” and “Lost Generation” — in the early 2010s declared on Monday “SECOND BIGGEST COMEBACK THIS WEEK.” They also shared a video announcing their return that is hilarious even if you’ve never heard of them before.
