SOMETIMES Y (Yelawolf & Shooter Jennings) Self-Titled Debut Studio Album Out Now!
“What can I really say about this body of work we put together other than it’s fucking killer!!,” exclaims Yelawolf. “I’m so damn proud of this band and Shooter’s production. It’s been a long time coming to get to this point in my career, and personally a goal long overdue that I set to achieve much earlier in life, but it would never have been the same had I done it before. It’s bittersweet to know it’s finally out. We’ve been sitting on it for nearly two years and I relished listening to it in private. It was like having the raddest shit I’d ever done and no one had a clue what I was sitting on. I’m stoked to carry my existing fans into this new chapter and to bring all these new fans into the house of rock and roll that we just added another room too.”

SIGRID SHARES NEW SINGLE/VIDEO FOR “IT GETS DARK” + NEW ALBUM “HOW TO LET GO” OUT MAY 6TH
“I believe you need to feel the lows in life to feel the highs, and you have to know what sucks to then properly appreciate the good stuff.’ It Gets Dark’ is an ode to that. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been as excited about a single release before. It’s the first song that was written for my upcoming album, and I remember the joy and relief when we figured out the soundscape. I was like FINALLY I know how this second record is going to sound! The music video is the weirdest I’ve gone visually, and I absolutely love it. We’re playing with planets, UFOs and rooms all made by hand, as well as perspective, time, and space. It’s the second time working with the brilliant Femke Huurdeman and Canada, and I’d literally do anything for that team; hence me being reborn out of a planet egg, flying in space with wind blowing in my face, punching a planet, and wearing the Saturn ring on my head. It’s as ridiculously fun as it was making it: enjoy!” – Sigrid.
RACHEL CHINOURIRI RELEASES NEW SINGLE “ALL I EVER ASKED”

It’s also about realizing your own worth and not settling for someone who cannot be what you need,” Chinouriri explained about the new song.

“‘When ‘The Fall of Rome’ was written in 2015 I could see the cracks in the foundation of our fundamental civil rights. At the time the 2nd amendment was under attack, and the obvious take away was that without the 2nd amendment, none of your rights are safe. If there is anything we should have learned in all of this it is that the government CANNOT keep you safe. Preserve the Bill of Rights,” says Timothy Judson Taylor.
TRACE THOMPSON RELEASES NEW SINGLE “NO MORE”
“It’s an interesting story actually,” Trace explains. “This song came about from a challenge, versus some inspirational hook that popped in my head at 3AM. I’ve been blessed to have built several relationships with artists, writers, and publishers over the years which has developed into good friendships. During a publisher meeting, my friend, Butch Baker, gave me a challenge of writing my favorite 90’s song into a modern lyric…up-tempo, of course, and with an intriguing story line that keeps the listener wondering what happens next. I wanted to challenge myself to grow as a writer and an artist. This has proven to be an incredible experience with releases from other artists like Carrie Cunningham (“All Over Me”) and Jackson Snelling from American Idol (“Forgot I Was Forgetting”) over the past year. It’s really solidified how much I love the art of writing and I have songs that just resonate with me personally that I want to release, too.”

It’s basically a look into my diary over the past half-year.
