Trust Fund, the UK indie-pop act led by Ellis Jones, is active again after breaking up in 2018 — or at least Jones is releasing solo material under the Trust Fund name. Last year he shared the minimal one-offs “can’t take it,” “capital,” and “late nite skate.” Today he’s back with another low-key track, a […]
Ruston Kelly – “Michael Keaton”
Next month, the Nashville country-rocker and former Kacey Musgraves muse Ruston Kelly will follow his 2020 LP Shape & Destroy with a new album called The Weakness. Kelly isolated himself at home for months while working on the songs, and then he recorded them with Sharon Van Etten/Maggie Rogers collaborator Nate Mercereau. We’ve already posted […]
Microwave – “Ferrari”
Last year, the Atlanta Band To Watch Microwave shared some stray singles — “Circling The Drain” and “Straw Hat — which were their first new songs since 2019’s Death Is A Warm Blanket. Today, ahead of an imminent North American tour (dates here), they’ve shared another new single, “Ferrari.” “Ferrari is about coming to terms […]
HÆLOS – “Hear Me”
The British quartet HÆLOS dropped their last record, the ambient EP Somnum, in 2021. Over the past few months, the band has followed that record with a handful of standalone singles, all of which have the exact same cover art. Presumably, they’re ramping up to a new release, though they haven’t announced anything yet. Today, […]
Belinda Carlisle Releases First New Pop Song In Over 25 Years
Late last year, we found out that Belinda Carlisle was working on her first new pop release in over two decades, which came about after her son ran into Oscar-nominated songwriter Diane Warren in a Starbucks and she forced him to call her and said: “Bitch, what are you doing? I have some hits for […]
Alison Goldfrapp – “So Hard So Hot”
It’s wild to think that Alison Goldfrapp — who has been playing in the long-running synthpop duo Goldfrapp since 1999 — has never released a solo album before. Goldfrapp’s last album was 2017’s Silver Eye. More recently, Alison teamed up on singles with Claptone (“Digging Deeper”) and Paul Woolford (“Fever”). Now, Alison is announcing her […]
Jack White Responds To Viral Tweet Calling Meg White A “Terrible” Drummer
Jack White has responded to journalist Lachlan Markay calling White Stripes drummer Meg White “terrible” in a now-deleted tweet that sparked a major backlash and discourse this week. Posting to Instagram, Jack White shared a picture of Meg mid-performance and a poem appearing to liken Markay (and any other Meg White naysayer) to “demons, cowards […]
Shania Twain – “Falling” (Harry Styles Cover)
Shania Twain has been vocal about her ongoing friendship with Harry Styles, which began in his early solo days away from One Direction. Styles has covered Twain in concert before, and at his Coachella set last year he brought her out to sing some songs with him. Today, Twain has released an entry in the […]
Pharrell’s Something In The Water Festival 2023 Lineup Has Clipse, Grace Jones, Lil Wayne, More
Way back in 2019, Pharrell Williams launched his Something In The Water festival in his Virginia Beach hometown. Thus far, that’s been the only Something In The Water fest in Virginia Beach. The pandemic kept the fest from happening for a couple of years, and last year, Pharrell pulled the festival from Virginia Beach, citing […]
OK Cool – “nissanweekends”
Chicago indie duo Bridget Stiebris and Haley Blomquist — otherwise known as OK Cool — are planning to release an eight-song EP called fawn at the end of April. Last month, along with the EP news, OK Cool shared lead single “normal c,” and now we get to hear the distortion-heavy, charmingly offbeat “nissanweekends,” which […]
