Four new albums are on the Hypeful new release radar today. The Beastie Boys return in two unconventional forms today - releasing their “post-punk instrumental” album (The Mix-Up) and the Adam Yauch-produced Build a Nation. As for the other two artists, let’s just say Hypeful would love to see a Ryan Adams & Kelly Clarkson duet. Adams is prolific and Clarkson ain’t above Jack Daniels-inspired performances - it can only be a matter of time before this dream duo becomes a reality, right?
