Recording with SOPHIE is something I hold even closer to my heart now, especially after her passing. She was an artist who showed the world that living boldly is your greatest power. With this EP, I want to show the world how loved she was and still is!
Kacey Musgraves has released the title track 'Middle of Nowhere' just ahead of her surprise Coachella Weekend 2 set on Saturday. The album is set for release on May 1st via Lost Highway Records.
"We chose Tiger Baby for the first single from our new record because it's kind of like the everything bagel of songs from the session. It's heavy and crazy and chaotic but also very catchy and hooky which is very much what the entire record sounds like all baked into one song."
Girl Trouble are the Northwest's garage rock demigods, revered by all from Neko Case and Mudhoney to Soundgarden and Beat Happening. On As Is, their first album in over a decade, vibrato guitar collides rollin' and tumblin' into bedrock beats and black crow vocal calls; it's rock'n'roll done in a backwoods style.
"It's my privilege to be able to present to you the first track released from Rituals of Shame. Whether you're among those who have been waiting for this for twenty years, or whether you're new to my music, it is with great pleasure and some relief, that I can finally give you a taste of the album that will follow later in the year."
It's amazing that totally organically, Evan, my son and Nick, Gene's son, about a year ago started making music together. They've known each other their whole lives, but this bond they've had with music and this album they've done is crazy good.
The song possesses a driving and straightforward set of verses, a wide open and gothic chorus, and a sudden 6/8 groove for the solos that feels right out of those classic King Diamond albums.
Butterfly unfolds across four unique versions of the same song, each exploring different genres and emotional depths while maintaining a cohesive melody and lyrics.
I wrote the music before Oz passed away. But after Oz passed away, when we went back to England and we laid Ozzy to rest, when I got right from that, I went straight to Pantera celebrations with Phil, Rex, and Charlie. And then when I got done, when we got done with the Pantera celebration run, when I got home, I was just sitting in the house and [this] is when I wrote the lyrics and just sang the song.
The first single, 'Timebomb,' is moody with distorted piano. Krug describes it as 'a song about a song about a band on tour, or rather, about the failed revision of that song, upon sadly realizing that its original message no longer rings true.'
Fenriz describes Pre-Historic Metal as 'a loose term,' stating, 'just figure it's our VIBE, our take on things and it's more a statement that we use old style to create something new.' He emphasizes their identity as metal with 'very loud guitars' and characterizes the music as 'frightfully barbaric but not without finesse.'
Out now, this track captures the spirit of escapism amid emotional chaos, expertly produced by NKLAI, known for his work with Haven Everly and FLASCH, and mixed by Justin Hergett, a name synonymous with the sounds of superstars like Beyoncé and P!nk. It's an anthem for those who desire to dance through the turmoil, overflowing with the angst of recession-pop and the sensationalism of early-2000s tabloid culture.
The first single from the forthcoming CoSemo album is the soulful, instant classic, house track 'You Know Where To Go'. Produced by Finnian Casey it features vocals from Nick DeCoSemo and Kristina Train. Aside from Kristina's sublime singing 'You Know Where To Go' is given another, authentic analog dimension via additional Rhodes Piano and classic synth parts - provided by English Mercury Music Prize-nominee and Indie Rock legend Ed Harcourt.
"'Dancing' really captures the playful side of what Steve and I discovered on stage together last summer - that push-and-pull of melody and energy. The video gave us a chance to show that spirit in a completely different way. Watching ZZ bring this absurd casting concept to life - and having Brendon step into the madness - made it even more fun."
I still have to go to the studio after this and I have to make a Mardi Gras costume for my son after the studio. Longest day ever. Just after 2:30 a.m., Rihanna can be seen hard at work in the studio, with the session going on well past 5 a.m.
Yungblud and Aerosmith have added a bit of bluegrass to their recent collaborative single "My Only Angel" with a new version featuring banjo playing by comedy legend Steve Martin. "My Only Angel (Desert Road Version)" offers an acoustic take on the song, which is one of five tracks on Yungblud and Aerosmith's upcoming EP, One More Time, set for release on November 21st.
Taylor Swift is getting a little Shakespearean - except this time, she's writing a happy ending. On Oct. 3, the singer released her new single "The Fate of Ophelia," which serves as the lead track of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. With the song, she turns William Shakespeare's famed play Hamlet on its head, but in the catchiest way possible.
Produced by the trailblazing queer British duo Charlie Zlutz and Vascha, "Diva" transcends mere entertainment; it's a movement. The accompanying visualizer features Ivy adorned in stunning gold body paint, juxtaposed against a dark and shimmering universe that symbolises transformation, inner power, and the radiant glow that comes from embracing one's true identity. This vivid imagery captures the essence of owning who you are and shining brightly, even in the shadows.
