ASH release new album ‘Race The Night’ | Out today via Fierce Panda
Award-Winning Canadian Folk Icon Connie Kaldor Announces Release Of New Album KEEP GOING
On lead single ‘Keep Going’, Connie gives us a post pandemic anthem with a rhythm that won’t give up, so we won’t either. It’s full of wisdom learned from a life on the road—when you’ve toured as many miles as she has, the things that keep you going are the people that you meet, the songs that connect and sometimes, just putting one foot after the other.
Alan Palomo Releases Debut Album ‘World of Hassle’
Alan Palomo, the auteur musician/producer behind the long-running avant-pop project Neon Indian, has unveiled his first full length release under his own name today, World of Hassle, via Transgressive. The record is a vivid piece of world-building that takes listeners into a surreal pocket dimension saturated with anxiety and nostalgia, where jazz-funk and wide-shouldered Claude Montana suits never went out of style, and the Cold War chill that suffused Leonard Cohen’s I’m Your Man never lifted.
OUT TODAY: COREY TAYLOR RELEASES NEW SOLO STUDIO ALBUM ‘CMF2’
Today, GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum singer-songwriter, actor, and New York Times best-selling author Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) releases his long-awaited new solo studio album, CMF2.

R&B SUPERSTAR MUNI LONG DROPS NEW SINGLE “MADE FOR ME”
Picking up where her GRAMMY® Award-winning campaign peaked earlier this year, R&B superstar Muni Long returns with her highly anticipated new single “Made For Me,” out now via Supergiant Records/Def Jam Recordings. It notably marks her first new release of 2023 and extends her streak of unforgettable moments.
LOONY Just Can’t Let Go + Ruins “A Good Night”
“A Good Night” begins with a traditionally LOONY sounding harmony stack, ominous and haunting with a barely noticeable vocal sample quietly sitting in the background. After a quick 8 bars we shift into a bouncy guitar based loop that excels within its restrain allowing LOONY’s heartfelt lyrics and supernatural vocal ability to shine. There’s a playfulness in the song that goes as deep as the production. Loopy and over-tired, Akeel, Adam, and Loony at one point mic’d a leaf for texture, and it made the final cut.
ALL TIME LOW SHARE NEW SINGLE “FAKE AS HELL” (FEAT. AVRIL LAVIGNE)
Elaborating on “Fake As Hell” frontman Alex Gaskarth shared, “‘Fake As Hell’ is a song about recognizing what’s real and saying goodbye to what’s not— it’s about cutting ties with people and things that don’t lift you up and help you progress. It’s a wave goodbye to whatever’s in the rear-view mirror and a new perspective on the road ahead. Collaborating on this one with Avril is a dream realized and getting to watch her do what she does best in the studio was crazy inspiring.”
Grammy Award Winning Duo Brothers Osborne Release Fourth Studio Album, “Brothers Osborne,” Today
Today, GRAMMY-winning duo Brothers Osborne release Brothers Osborne, their self-titled fourth studio album via EMI Records Nashville. The album was named one of the most anticipated albums of the year by The Los Angeles Times who call it “a lively self-titled” album which adds “fresh sounds and textures to the Osbornes’ solidly built songs” and the duo currently are on the cover of American Songwriter who say a “sense of comfortable confidence echoes through all eleven tracks on Brothers Osborne, which builds off the duo’s trademark meld of classic Southern rock and polished modern country.”
Otto Aday Releases New Single “Hearts” with Abbey Roads Studios Music Video
Agnostic of eras and genres, London-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Otto Aday’s music could be uncorked in any decade and still resonate. Today, he releases the sophomore single, “Hearts,” from his upcoming album, Persona. “Hearts” hinges on sparse piano and evocative vocals. Co-written with award-winning icon Dave Stewart in a Soho hotel room, it unspools towards a dramatic crescendo punctuated by his emotionally charged refrain, “That’s what breaks our hearts,” before a hummable guitar solo cries out.
charlieonnafriday Releases Stadium-Ready Single “Undefeated”
charlieonnafriday is ending the summer with a bang. The 20-year-old singer/songwriter, who has achieved several hundred million streams and views over the last few years, shares his latest single, “Undefeated” and is currently touring across the US with Tate McRae. Out now via Island Records, the anthemic new single is a pump-up song brought to life with booming production from Tyler Dopps. “Undefeated” is a song fit for arenas; it opens with a string arrangement leading into a powerful horn section that sets the stage for Charlie’s confident, catchy bars, “Never take no L, no / We stay undefeated.” Before the release, charlieonnafriday teased the song during recent performances on tour and it’s clear it’s a fan favorite already — see here.
@charlieonnafriday we stay undefeated.

ALAN PALOMO (NEON INDIAN) RELEASES DEBUT SOLO ALBUM “WORLD OF HASSLE”
Alan Palomo, the auteur musician/producer behind the long-running avant-pop project Neon Indian, has unveiled his first full length release under his own name today, World of Hassle, via Mom+Pop. The record is a vivid piece of world-building that takes listeners into a surreal pocket dimension saturated with anxiety and nostalgia, where jazz-funk and wide-shouldered Claude Montana suits never went out of style, and the Cold War chill that suffused Leonard Cohen’s I’m Your Man never lifted. World of Hassle is a Pynchonesque place, packed with characters and situations rendered in dreamily absurdist strokes—guerilla freedom fighters camped out in a Rainforest Cafe in “The Wailing Mall,” a crumbling ex-pop star in “The Return of Mickey Milan,” the Leisure Suit Larry-does-Ibiza fantasy of “Nudista Mundial ’89” (featuring Mac DeMarco), whose indelible hooks and accompanying absurdist animated video by Johnny Woods immediately propelled the song to critical accolades and broad social sharing upon its release in May.
Out Today: Stephen Marley’s First Album in 7+ Years

TYLER BOOTH KEEPS IT REAL WITH NEW EP, AVAILABLE TODAY
The project highlights Booth’s smooth, baritone voice, which American Songwriter calls the “Platonic Ideal of a country voice. It’s rich, full, low and powerful. Like a shot of brown liquor.” Keep It Real features recently released tracks “G.O.B. by the G.O.G,” “Different Kind Of Blue,” and “Bring On The Neon,” which he co-penned with Jamey Johnson and Jeremy Popoff. MusicRow lauded “Bring On The Neon,” calling it “Superb. This instant-classic country weeper simmers in piano and steel while Booth’s always-awesome baritone delivers the emotional goods. Regret and heartache have seldom sounded better.”
Rachael Bawn Speaks to Social Media’s Impact on Mental Health in “Snapshot”
Teaming up with songwriter Rosanne Baker Thornley, and producer Ben Pelchat, Bawn has co-written powerful new songs with an overarching theme of truth-telling. They confront the toxic side of social media (“Snapshot”), inspire courage for the inevitable hard things in life, and encourage listeners to slow down and not allow the busyness of life to overwhelm.
“Snapshot” in particular is about the social media paradox and its negative effects. “We use it to feel connected but we end up doom scrolling, comparing ourselves to others, and end up feeling more lonely and bad about ourselves,” says Bawn.
CHRIS LAKE AND ALUNA’S NEW SINGLE, “MORE BABY,” OUT TODAY VIA BLACK BOOK RECORDS/ASTRALWERKS

Out Now: Buffalo Nichols’ Anticipated Second LP ‘The Fatalist’ (Fat Possum)
Nichols explains “The Fatalist Blues:” “A song rejecting the ‘bootstrap’ myth – capitalist greed is an omnipotent force which can not be willed away by an individual. Certain things, systems and institutions cannot be reformed – only destroyed. This was inspired by the line from an old spiritual which I believe holds this same sentiment… ‘If I had my way, I would tear this whole building down.’”
Today, the rising Nigerian artist and rapper ODUMODUBLVCK (pronounced “O-doo-moh-doo-black”) – who’s ode to Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice went viral earlier this summer and just last week took home ‘Best Rap Single’ honors at The 2023 Headies – returns with his latest single “MC OLUOMO” produced by Cross YDC.

The Ivy Release Single “Good Faith”
Written and partially recorded in a storage container in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, “Good Faith” depicts the feeling of being stuck between a state of confusion and being overwhelmed by the challenges of life. In the end, somewhere between the synths and guitars, the duo ultimately finds hope and purpose in realizing that your true self is not found in the expectations of others.
Indie Pop Artist Geographer Announces New Album ‘A Mirror Brightly’; Shares New Single “You Never Know”
Tackling the album in increments, like a philosophical manifesto, he worked on it on-and-off beginning in the summer of 2022. For the record, Mike Deni, the atmospheric-pop act’s frontman, has assumed the role of thinking man’s anthropologist, picking through the wreckage around us in a world increasingly ensnared in everything from religion to social media. While it is still deeply personal, it’s not simply autobiographical like his previous releases.
DEMI LOVATO RELEASES REVAMPED
The album arrives on the heels of her showstopping performance at the MTV VMAs on Tuesday night, where she performed a rock version medley of her hits – “Heart Attack,” “Sorry Not Sorry,” and “Cool for the Summer.” The performance was met with widespread critical acclaim with TIME Magazine praising it the night’s best rock performance, “her powerhouse vocals brought down the house down as she infused new energy into her well-known tracks.”
