Pandora Launches Artist-Made ‘Endless Playlist’ with Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, and more
Pandora today introduced the Endless Playlist, where artists can share their favorite songs along with personal messages, then pass the mic to fellow artists to make their picks. Beginning today, listeners can journey through handpicked songs and discover the music loved by Alicia Keys, Maxwell, Snoh Aalegra, The Neighbourhood, Billie Eilish, and Arlo Parks, with more to come in this ever-growing playlist.
How does this dynamic musical journey work? It starts with an artist handpicking a song by another artist that they love, sharing a brief message explaining why the song is important to them, then handing it off to the artist they chose to do the same. The playlist operates as a musical game of tag, and will be updated with new songs and inspirational messages. Here is how the living, growing playlist starts, and listeners can stay tuned to discover who the latest artist will pick next.
The Mountain Goats share the story behind new song “Picture of My Dress,” announce two online concerts
Today marks the premiere of “Picture of My Dress” off the Mountain Goats’ imminent new album, Getting Into Knives (out October 23)! The song’s creation happened in plain sight, beginning with a single tweet from “Good Bones” poet Maggie Smith suggesting a simple photo essay involving a woman driving across the country taking pictures of a discarded wedding dress. John Darnielle came across the tweet and was struck by the imagery; he quickly titled the song and got to work, striking up a friendship with Smith in the process.
Like the other 12 songs found on Getting Into Knives, “Picture of My Dress” was carefully filtered through the legendary Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis with the assistance of producer Matt Ross-Spang, whose credits include work with Jason Isbell, Margo Price, and John Prine. The result is what Darnielle describes as “a pop-country song that’s still identifiably the Mountain Goats, universally relatable but still a little cracked.”
Black Violin Releases Music Video For “Impossible Is Possible”
Black Violin, the classical-meets-hip-hop duo of Kev Marcus and Wil Baptiste, released a new video for “Impossible Is Possible.” The song is taken from Black Violin’s new album Take The Stairs, which debuted last year in the top ten across multiple genre charts: #1 in Current Classical, #1 in Classical Crossover, #7 in Heatseekers, and #9 in Current R&B/Hip-Hop. Take The Stairs was praised by The Root, Loudwire, and Billboard, who said the album “celebrates Black Violin’s genre-less approach to music, from the futuristic anthem ‘One Step’ to the elaborate ‘Serenade.’” In the last year, Black Violin has performed at the Oscars Governors Ball, on The Today Show, and on Access Daily.

Jordan Reyes Shares Haunting New Single + Video “Rebirth at Dusk” ft. mem. of Ono
“I envisioned the record as a journey through human expression over the course of one day,” says Chicago composer and ONO member Jordan Reyes, musing on his sophomore album Sand Like Stardust. When planning the album, Reyes wanted to consider the trajectory of American music, drawing a throughline from the oral traditions enmeshed in blues, country, folk to contemporary underground music, splicing together acoustic instrumentation with an experimental, electronic sensibility. As such, the album begins with the first instrument – human-constructed wind – the sole sound source on opening song “The Pre-Dawn Light,” which invites the listener in with layered voice and whistling.

“It was definitely a challenge to plan and execute a video when none of us could be together,” ERIC13 says. “It required a lot of trust to bring together our different artistic elements. I’ve never met Tink, but she has this incredible magic that jumps off the screen. Photos of her inspired the entire video and artwork for the song itself. She is like no one or anything I’ve ever seen. The recording was already complete, yet she is the song, and the song is her.”

Life Size Models Unveil Nostalgic Rock Single “Everything Changed”
Life Size Models tell of the track:
“If you look around at the world, you’re likely to want an escape too. ‘A Way Out’ was written because we needed a way out of our heads, our habits, even our environment. When you’re frustrated and restless, like so many of us are, the need for an exit sign looms larger. Does that outlet come from a scream, a hug, a laugh, a song, another human connection? ‘I can give you a way out, if you want me to’. You choose. Just move forward.”

On Of All The Endings, due out October 23rd through V.A.S.P. Legacy, Mast delivers a towering and emotional collection of tracks that serve as a powerful reminder of the murkiness lying just beneath the surface of everyday life.

Same goes for Eric Burdon & War’s ‘Spill the Wine,’” Ausikaitis explains. “I started writing ‘Something Kind’ in a light hearted jokey mood. But as I wrote I began getting angrier and angrier. I felt that the women in those songs were incidental. And that, at times in my life, I had been made to feel that way.”

KAYLA DIAMOND –
A conversation I had with my fiancée one day led me to writing the track I’m sharing with you today, “always been you.”
I said to her, “The only person that can ever hurt me would be you, because you know all of my insecurities.” Then of course, I whipped out my notes and jotted down the idea.
Later that night, strumming my guitar, the line “I only wanna be hurt by you,” came to me, a nursery rhyme-like melody that wouldn’t leave my head.
