New music: Skinny Living release new track ‘I Still Love You’ today through Atlas Artists

Speaking about the new song, front man Ryan Johnston explains; “This song is nothing more than a love song, it was first written with the intent to say “I love you” but through the process of writing, it became a song reaching out through the pain and challenges of a testing relationship to attempt to put into words unconditional love. It shows a want for a moment of peace within the madness, a need for recognition that neither are getting any younger and a request to put the past aside. Not to forget it but to forgive it and attempt to restore some of the passion lost by dark times.

NEWS: Amelia White navigates personal and political loss on new album ‘Rhythm of the Rain’

If there were an East Nashville Music Hall of Fame, Amelia White would already be in it. The now-famous scene was in its formative days when White arrived from Boston in the early 2000s and became a fixture at the Family Wash. She’s been a leading light in America’s most musical zip code ever since, even as she’s developed a reputation in the rest of the U.S. and Europe as a first-rate songwriter. She helped define and refine the core folk-rock sound of Americana, yet her band’s energetic pulse never outshines her carefully wrought lyrics. She’s a poet who’s been compared to more famous songwriters for years; now, it would be more appropriate to use her as a benchmark.

NMF: Charlotte OC delivers powerful new single, ‘Satellite’

Undoubtedly one of music’s most promising rising talents, British songstress Charlotte OC has unveiled her new single, ‘Satellite’. The track is taken from her forthcoming EP, which is set to drop early in 2019 and follows the success of her debut album, ‘Careless People.’

Having amassed widespread acclaim on singles such as ‘Almost Mine’ (8 million Spotify streams), and ‘Symphony’ (4 million Spotify streams), Charlotte’s 2018 evolution sees the singer-songwriter move forwards a more alternative pop sound. The emotive vocal ‘Satellite’ showcases the Lancashire-star’s dynamic range.

“I’d recently gone through a situation with this lad I’d met, he was saying one thing, but in reality his actions spoke differently,” explains Charlotte, “What I thought could be something to begin with, actually turned out to be something completely different in the end. I came to the realisation that when you meet somebody it shouldn’t be this complicated.”
