Following the announcement of her sophomore album You Heartbreaker, You earlier this year, songwriter, singer, and multi-disciplinary artist Jehnny Beth releases new single ‘No Good For People’. A distorted cacophony of synths, ‘No Good For People’ is the latest cut from her forthcoming new album, which comes August 29th on Fiction Records. Listen to ‘No Good For People’ HERE & watch the video HERE.

“The idea of the song came as I re-watched the first season of True Detective,” Jehnny said of the track. “There’s a scene at the end where the character played by Matthew McConaughey says that he can be hard to live with: “I don’t mean to, but I can be…critical. Sometimes I think I’m just not good for people…I wear them down”. It spoke to me because it questions the inability to coexist with others and the delicate balance where the truth can be heartbreaking.” 

The track comes alongside a striking video co-directed by Jehnny and collaborator Johnny Hostile. “For this album, Johnny and I worked on the music and the visuals simultaneously. One moment we were recording in the studio, the next we were taking pictures, or making a t-shirt, one always informing the other,” Jehnny says of the video. “For the ‘No Good For People’ video we explored this idea of the double, how we can be two-faced sometimes, or want to hide our ugly side. It was made soon after David Lynch had died and somehow, when I watch it now, I can see a bit of his influence in the surrealistic aspects of some of the scenes (with blue curtains instead of red though!!)”.

Known for her ferocious live shows, Jehnny has announced a run of October headline dates through the UK and EU, including shows at Electrowerkz and The Camden Assembly in London on October 30th and 31st, respectively. More info HERE. 

She has also just announced four Rough Trade in-store shows through September. Tickets for the shows can be purchased by pre-ordering the record from the individual stores.

Recorded and produced by longtime co-creator Johnny Hostile at their 20L07 studio in France, You Heartbreaker, You is visceral, abrasive and cathartic. “We’re living in a dark time, full of drama and barbarous tragedy. It became clear to me that, in these times, we either learn how to scream really well, or we learn how to whisper,” Jehnny says of the record. 

Capturing the feeling of being broken in a broken world, where love still operates on a prehistoric level, You Heartbreaker, You is a radical work that cuts straight to the core: heart to heart.

Robert Plant announces the release of Saving Grace: the first album featuring a new band of distinguished players, which he calls “a song book of the lost and found”. The album arrives September 26 on Nonesuch Records. Listen to Robert Plant and Saving Grace’s reimagined rendition of Low’s ‘Everybody’s Song’ HERE.

The genesis of Saving Grace began during the lockdown in “The Shire”, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. While his recent adventures have centred around Nashville, having reunited with Alison Krauss for 2021’s chart-topping, multi GRAMMY-nominated Raise The Roof, it was in the English countryside that Robert Plant connected closely to this diverse group of musicians, who through their own experiences had a shared lean towards his much-loved corners of evocative song. Together, Plant and Saving Grace – vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown – have spent the past six years growing into a wide-ranging workshop of styles and personalities, weaving through time and circumstance with joy and abandon. 

“We laugh a lot, really.  I think that suits me. I like laughing,” Plant says. “You know, I can’t find any reason to be too serious about anything. I’m not jaded. The sweetness of the whole thing… These are sweet people and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.”

Following his previous acclaimed releases on Nonesuch Records – 2014’s lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar and 2017’s Carry Fire – Saving Grace brings yet another chapter of Robert Plant’s ceaseless roar into the daylight. Produced by Robert Plant and Saving Grace – and recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders – Saving Grace breathes fresh life into a collection of century-old music. A treasury of songs featured back in time by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk’s Low. 

After touring extensively across the UK and Europe in recent months and years, Robert Plant and Saving Grace will perform for the first time in the US this autumn, with an initial run of a dozen North American shows announced today. Dates include NYC’s Brooklyn Paramount, Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre, Chicago’s The Vic, Los Angeles’ United Theater and more. Find the full list and tickets at robertplant.com/timetable.

Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author Josh Ritter releases his new song, ‘Truth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding),’. The song is the latest unveiled from his anticipated new album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew, out September 12 via Thirty Tigers. Listen/share HERE and watch the lyric video HERE.

Of the track, Ritter shares, “I don’t remember writing this song. I hardly ever do. I remember beginning with the daydream of a night drive through the desert. I arrived at a lookout and, here, looking up at the stars from the parking lot of my mind, I caught a glimpse of something thoroughly unexpected. TRUTH revealed itself to me for an instant. The song was done when I woke up from the daydream. I recorded this song in one take. Thanks to Sam Kassirer for realizing that it was the one, and to Rich Hinman for the glorious solo. I released this song previously on an EP, lest something should happen to me and it be forgotten. Now, I’m doing my best to make sure that it won’t.”

In celebration of the new music, Ritter will tour through this autumnl including newly confirmed solo shows at Los Angeles’ Masonic Lodge, Portland’s The Old Church (two nights) and Seattle’s St. Mark’s Cathedral among others. Tickets for the new shows will be available for pre-sale starting tomorrow, July 16 at 10:00am local time with general on-sale following this Friday, July 18 at 10:00am local time. A portion of the proceeds from pre-sale tickets sold via joshritter.com will be donated to Immigrant Defense Project. Pre-sale sign-up and full details can be found at www.joshritter.com/#tour.

Throughout his decades long career, Ritter has established himself as “one of the most perceptive artists making music today” (American Songwriter), releasing twelve albums to date and earning the respect of countless music legends, with artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Bob Weir having performed and recorded his songs.

With the release of I Believe in You, My Honeydew, Ritter shares ten new tracks that further demonstrate the insightful and engaging artistry that he’s celebrated for, including ‘You Won’t Dig My Grave,’ which was released last month. Produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim), the new album features Ritter alongside his Royal City Band: Kassirer (piano, organ, synthesizer, accordion), Zachariah Hickman (acoustic and electric bass, thumb piano, mandolin), Rich Hinman (guitars, pedal steel, mandolin) and Ray Rizzo (drums, percussion).

The new project follows Ritter’s 2024 mini-album, Heaven, or Someplace as Nice, which he recorded with legendary jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and his acclaimed 2023 full-length project, Spectral Lines. Of the record, Paste praised, “Josh Ritter is like a more open-hearted version of Leonard Cohen. His lyrics draw on the divine, but he seems to see a little heaven in all the people around him,” while No Depression declared, “a hopeful tapestry that encourages listeners to sit with each other in introspection, but not to forget to sing along.”

In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels to date: 2011’s Bright’s Passage and 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All, for which the film rights have recently been optioned for development. Released to critical attention, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.”

Margo Price joins forces with Jesse Welles to release new single ‘Don’t Wake Me Up,’ revealing another side to the bulletproof songwriting, relentless grit and unshakable self-belief that make her a hard headed woman. 

Evoking the essence of Bob Dylan’s ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ – and paying direct homage with the Hannah Gray Hall-directed music video – the latest preview of Margo’s forthcoming album, Hard Headed Woman, is a freewheeling country rocker that chugs through hundreds of masterfully-spun words, as it takes the listener on a trip to dozens of places that are all better than here. “The way the world is going, ain’t where I’m at,” howl Price and Welles in unison, willing themselves to dream away the politician screaming on the television, or the madness seeping through the internet. “And sooner or later we’ll all be dead, I’d rather be living it up, up in my head.” 

In between uncanny, sirenesque rituals of line-dancing in the woods, the accompanying video for ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ finds Margo Price in a field, dive bar, cow pasture, cemetery, honky tonk, factory, liquor store, bowling alley, trailer park, Waffle House, Midwest strip mall and more of the locations sung throughout the song. Listen to ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ (feat. Jesse Welles) HERE & watch the video directed by Hannah Gray Hall HERE.

Arriving on the heels of ‘Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down’ – an underdog anthem that nods to Kris Kristofferson, Sinéad O’Connor, The Handmaid’s Tale and co-writer Rodney Crowell – ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ was partly inspired by the boundless work of one of Margo Price’s favourite poets, Frank Stanford. The song began as a series of notebook entries that Price’s husband and collaborator Jeremy Ivey later stumbled upon, and she says:

“Something like: Jesse Welles is another insurgent artist who has carved his own path, and is unafraid to speak truth to power…I can’t wait to see him out at Newport Folk Festival this summer, etc.”

Out August 29th on Loma Vista Recordings, Hard Headed Woman is a hell-bent collection of country music that reconnects Margo Price with her roots, and further redefines what it means to be a modern outlaw. The album is a promise and a manifesto, a tribute to both a city and genre, a defiant cry for individuality and deep exploration of America, doubling down not only on herself, but what she has always loved: classic songs written from the intellect and the gut, timeless and urgent all at once.

This October and November, backed by a brand new live band and armed with her newly-launched, signature Gibson J-45 guitar, Margo Price will bring the music of Hard Headed Woman on the road for the Wild At Heart Tour. Announced today, the run features nearly two dozen headline dates throughout North America, including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and more that go on-sale at 10am local time this Friday, July 18th, with presales beginning at 10am local time tomorrow. Before then, Margo Price will also play Newport Folk Festival, dates with Mumford & Sons, Farm Aid and other festivals across the country. Find the full list below, and tickets at margoprice.net/tour.

Reunited with producer Matt Ross-Spang, and recorded in the historic RCA Studio A, Hard Headed Woman is the first album that Price has made in Nashville, a town she has called home for more than 20 years, and vitally helped to transform, creating a lane where independent and insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream. Tracing her battle from dive bars to tour buses, through parenthood and marriage, scrutiny and sacrifice in a town that prizes uniformity and the bottom line, this is an album of country music as only Margo Price can make it: free of rules, cherishing tradition, hard-headed with a delicate heart. 

In the decade since working with producer Matt Ross-Spang on her first two albums – Midwest Farmer’s Daughter and All American Made – Margo Price played Saturday Night Live, earned a GRAMMY® nomination for Best New Artist, became the first female musician appointed to the Farm Aid Board of Directors, and collaborated with everyone from Willie Nelson to Billy Strings, Chris Stapleton, Dolly Parton, Jack White, John Prine, Loretta Lynn, Lucinda Williams, Mavis Staples, Sierra Ferrell, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers and more. She released four acclaimed LPs and published a lauded memoir (Maybe We’ll Make It, out on paperback September 2nd), and fearlessly pushed herself to explore new sounds and places.

Foo Fighters mark the 30th anniversary of the band’s classic 1995 debut with the opening salvo of its next chapter: ‘Today’s Song,’ the first taste of new Foo Fighters music since 2023’s universally acclaimed But Here We Are, is now available across digital platforms.

An indelible anthem in the time-honored Foo Fighters tradition, ‘Today’s Song’ bristles with unbridled optimism from its subtle melodic intro through the peaks of its soaring crescendos. With lyrical themes of personal evolution and perseverance in the face of life’s uncertainty and the passage of time, ‘Today’s Song’ is nothing short of a three-minute-fifteen-second epic. Listen to ‘Today’s Song’ HERE.

In a note to fans that posted today, Dave Grohl wrote, “Over the years, we’ve had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak. Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can’t go it alone.

It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.

And… Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.”

Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee.

2x GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Patty Griffin has shared ‘Born In A Cage,’ the second song from her new full-length opus, Crown Of Roses. The album is Griffin’s 11th studio collection and first in over six years. Crown Of Roses will be out on Friday, July 25, via her own PGM Recordings label via Thirty Tigers. 

‘Born In A Cage’ is an atmospheric, western-tinged ballad that contemplates a vanishing world with a beguiling sigh, blending warm fiddle and the warbling of the santur. The song captures what Griffin’s mother was experiencing as her time wound down and the natural beauty outside her window changed.

“At the end, my mom was noticing that the songbirds weren’t showing back up in the spring, and rabbits and all kinds of animals were disappearing,” says Griffin. “Even the coyotes moved into Maine because they lost their habitat. There were all these changes to the delicate balance, and it must’ve been really hard to see.” Listen to ‘Born In A Cage’ HERE.

Crown Of Roses was heralded earlier in the month with the release of its first song, ‘Back At The Start.’ With its purposeful position as song one on side one, ‘Back At The Start’ sets the rich tone for the album, embodying a rhythmic and soulful shadowy shuffle written during the pandemic, junked, and then reclaimed. The murky yet pulsating track sees Griffin probing the idea of letting go of the stories we tell ourselves.

Crown Of Roses sees Patty Griffin once again forming a poetic tapestry woven from the threads of love, loss, grief, disillusionment, resilience, and hope, shifting fluidly between intimate confessions, philosophical musings, and symbolic storytelling – all grounded in intensely human feelings and emotion. Burrowing into the stories she had long been telling herself, the award-winning songwriter ruminates on a vast array of themes and deeply personal topics, spanning the trajectory of women in the 20th and 21st  centuries and communion with nature to the sound of her voice after cancer treatment made its mark to the relationship with her late mother, whose wedding day photo graces the album’s cover, set into artwork by Mishka Westell that captures many of her greatest loves, including the Maine woods of her – and Patty’s – childhood.

Produced by longtime collaborator Craig Ross and featuring musical contributions from her trusted band members David Pulkingham (guitar) and Michael Longoria (drums), the album drifts from spare folk to gauzy Americana to sly gospel blues over the course of eight moody new songs that evoke the scrubby west of Griffin’s adopted Texas and the calming verdancy of her home state of Maine. From the atmospheric ‘Born In A Cage’ and the spectral “Long Time” (which includes a backing vocal cameo from Robert Plant) to the sparse, emotional authenticity of ‘Way Up To The Sky,’ Crown of Roses is among Patty Griffin’s most profound works to date, continuing her exceptional talent for translating thorny concepts and finely wrought character studies into songs that speak as much to her own experience as they do to the lives of those who have loved her music now for more than three decades.

“If I try to hit things on the nose, they don’t feel authentic to me,” Griffin says. “If I can emotionally dance around things, it feels like I can be more honest singing it.”

Griffin will celebrate Crown of Roses by joining forces with legendary 2x GRAMMY® Award-winner Rickie Lee Jones for a very special tour. Dates begin October 10 at Philadelphia, MS’s Ellis Theater and then continue through a November 1 finale at Dallas, TX’s historic Longhorn Ballroom.For complete details and ticket information, please visit pattygriffin.com/tour.

“Rickie Lee has been a North Star for me,” says Griffin. “Knowing how undeniably sublime she is as a songwriter and performer has kept me more grounded. I mean, with songs like hers, I’ve reminded myself over and over, women have voices that need to be heard and that have great value.”

In addition, Griffin has slated a number of headline shows over the coming months. Highlights include a special record release show at New York City’s Sony Hall (July 29) and a home state headline performance at Houston, TX’s Heights Theater (October 8).

ABOUT PATTY GRIFFIN:

Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation, a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together. Over the course of three decades, the 2x GRAMMY® Award winner – and 7x nominee – has crafted an exceptional, still-evolving body of work that prompted the New York Times to hail her for “[writing] cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…[her] songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.” 2019 saw the acclaimed release of Griffin’s GRAMMY® Award-winning 10th studio recording, PATTY GRIFFIN, which made a top 5 debut on Billboard’s “Independent Albums” chart amidst unprecedented worldwide acclaim, and later, a prestigious GRAMMY® Award for “Best Folk Album.” Among her many other accolades, Griffin has garnered three prominent Americana Music Honors & Awards, including the esteemed “Lifetime Achievement Award,” and “Album of the Year” for Children Running Through, and “Artist of the Year,” making history as one of but a small group of female artists to win the latter award alongside Loretta Lynn, Gillian Welch, Brandi Carlile, and Sierra Ferrell. In addition to her remarkable creative career, Griffin has also devoted considerable energy and focus towards the well-being of the planet as well as showing compassion for the less fortunate among us via personal and public acts of charity. Having crafted a rich catalog that chronicles love and death, heartache and joy, connection and detachment, the upcoming Crown of Roses sees Patty Griffin continuing to push her miraculous art forward, as always imbuing every effort with compassion and craft, uncanny perception, and ever-increasing ingenuity.

Three-time GRAMMY Award-winning multi-platinum band Maroon 5 announce their highly anticipated eighth studio album, Love Is Like, out August 15th on Interscope. To celebrate, the band has released a new single, ‘All Night.’ The video for the track is set to debut on June 27th and will be directed by Aerin Moreno (Tate McRae, Tyla), who recently directed the video for the band’s current single ‘Priceless’.  Listen to ‘All Night’ HERE.

In addition to their new album and single, Maroon 5 have also announced a national U.S. arena tour that will kick off this autumn. The 23-date Live Nation promoted run will visit major markets coast to coast, including a hometown show at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and a stop at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden, before concluding on November 25 in Detroit, MI. Claire Rosinkranz will be direct support on all tour dates. 

Tickets will be available starting with a Fan Club presale on Wednesday, June 25 at 10am local time. Additional presales will continue throughout the week before the general on sale on Friday, June 27 at 10am local time at https://www.maroon5.com.

Maroon 5 recently previewed their new album with the infectious single ‘Priceless,’ a collaboration with LISA of Blackpink, which brought together two global pop stars whose voices are known & loved by generations of fans around the world. Billboard called the track “a major pop crossover moment” while Rolling Stone proclaimed it an “infectious pop song”. ‘Priceless’ shot to Top 15 at Pop Radio following its release and featured a playful and stylish music video directed  by Aerin Moreno (Tate McRae, Tyla) that was shot in downtown Los Angeles on 35mm film and visually gave a nod to the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. 

Said Adam Levine, “I feel like we’ve gone back to what we used to do, which is to not pay attention to where we fit and producing the music organically. This is kind of how we stuck out in the beginning when we first started our career.”

Maroon 5’s new album Love is Like marks a return-to-form for the Diamond-Certified group and their first LP since 2021’s  JORDI. With their new music the group highlights their roots, while subtly expanding their sound on their newly released magnetic single ‘All Night’. The track spotlights Adam Levine’s rhythmic vocal hooks, layered over bass, percussion, synths, and saxophone. To herald in the album’s release, Maroon 5 are set to perform live from Rockefeller Plaza as part of the Citi Concert Series on TODAY on Friday, August 1. The band is also set to perform at iHeart’s Las Vegas Music Festival on September 19th.

ABOUT MAROON 5

Maroon 5 stands out as not only one of pop music’s most enduring artists, but also one of the 21st century’s biggest acts. Frontman Adam Levine has indelibly impacted the face of modern popular music with his characteristic falsetto, which is the infectious driving force behind the band’s hit anthems and heartfelt ballads all of which has helped propel Maroon 5 into becoming one of the most successful worldwide acts in today’s popular music.  The band won over fans and critics alike with the hybrid rock/R&B sound they introduced on their debut album, Songs About Jane. In 2025, Billboard named the three-timed GRAMMY Award winning group the top band (and #11 overall top artist) of the 21st Century. To date, they have sold 100+ million albums and 750 million+ singles, earned RIAA certifications in more than 35 countries, and charted 32 records on the Billboard Hot 100. Among these hits, three are U.S. Diamond-Certified (10x Platinum), and 26 are U.S. Platinum-certified. Maroon 5 hold the record for “most #1’s on the Hot 100 this century by a duo or group,” the Pop Airplay record for the “most #1 hits among pop duos or groups” with 11, and the record for “most #1 hits on Adult Pop Airplay” with 15. Maroon 5 currently have amassed over 30 billion combined streams on Spotify with 12 songs reaching over 1 billion streams each. On YouTube, the band has reached over 30 billion views across all videos, including four songs with over 1 billion views each. Maroon 5 remains a powerhouse on the road. The band launched their Las Vegas Residency, M5LV, in 2023 to rave reviews from fans and critics alike with Billboard crowning the group “a perfect fit for a Las Vegas residency.” Maroon 5 returned to Las Vegas for more dates in May 2024 into the spring of 2025 that culminated with 40 shows and continue to play stadiums around the world.

Miles Kane is back with new album Sunlight In The Shadows. The record comes October 17th on Easy Eye Sound. Alongside the announcement sees the release of his guitar driven new single ‘Love Is Cruel.’ Listen HERE & watch the video HERE. 

Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Sunlight In The Shadows is 12 tracks of psyche infused rock n roll. Layered with lush, screeching guitars and packed to the brim with hooks, the album delicately toes the line between raw, energetic rock and laid-back crooning anthems, all with a sprinkling of Miles’ signature rippled tremolo guitar and a whole lot of fun. 

“All roads, over 20 years, have led here,” Miles says of the journey to creating Sunlight In The Shadows. “Dan and I love mixing T. Rex, Motown and The Easybeats and the result is this record. When we were chatting and sharing references, we were so similar in taste it was frightening and you can hear that shared passion through the music. I can’t wait to take it out on the road. It’s an album that needs to be played live.“

Teaming up with a host of incredible musicians for the record Kane and Auerbach wrote the album’s eleven original songs with contributions from Pat McLaughlin, Daniel Tashian and The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney. Auerbach sings backing vocals and plays on every track, as part of the record’s guitar army with Tom Bukovac, guitarist Nick Bockrath of Cage The Elephant and Barrie Cadogan from British garage futurists Little Barrie. 

“This record was incredible to make,” Dan Auerbach declares, “from start to finish. I felt like I gained a life-long friend in Miles. And that doesn’t always happen. When it does, it’s amazing. This is an artist who could potentially make records forever.“

First single ‘Love Is Cruel’ tells the story of finding solace in being on your own and appreciating the peace in those moments. “It’s easy to reflect on life and to get caught up in what’s happened before,” Miles says of the track. “It’s important not to let those thoughts control you. The track begins with “she’s a midnight scooter rider,” which is one of my favourite opening lines to a single. It sets the tone lyrically and musically for what’s to come. Think Clint Eastwood and Judy Garland in the desert at dusk!” Listen to the track HERE & watch the video HERE.

Mark Ronson and RAYE have teamed up on new song ‘Suzanne’ for an  exciting musical collaboration. The track captures the timeless magic of music that they both love.  Listen to ‘Suzanne’ HERE & watch the video HERE.

Written by Mark, RAYE, Tommy Brenneck and Eric Hagstrom, ‘Suzanne’ was produced by Mark and co-produced by Tommy Brenneck. The horn section gives the song a supper club feel.

Mark has wanted to work with RAYE for a long time. The catalyst was watchmaker Audemars Piguet, of which they are both brand ambassadors. Celebrating 150 years, this union was initiated by their APxMusic series.

 “I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years now, watching her evolution from songwriter to the powerhouse artist she’s become. When Audemars Piguet brought us together through their APxMusic program, it felt like the stars aligning at exactly the right moment,” Mark Ronson says. 

“This collaboration isn’t just another project – it’s something we’ve poured ourselves into completely…all night tracking sessions in London, New York and Los Angeles. The music we’ve created together carries both our musical DNA but takes us somewhere neither of us would have reached alone,” Mark adds.

“Everything about how this song came to exist, and this moment with Mark and AP, feels meant to be” RAYE says. “I used to work in Mark Ronson’s London studio when I was a baby artist focusing on my songwriting craft, and always dreamed of the day I could one day work with the musical genius that is Ronson.”

“From the feeling in my heart that the song should be called ‘Suzanne’ within minutes of hearing the music Mark created, to learning of Suzanne Audemars and the joy I feel in my bones whenever I play this song in my headphones, the overwhelming consensus of emotions is gratitude and pride,” RAYE adds.

‘Suzanne’ is out June 13th on Columbia Records.

Lucinda continued her acclaimed Lu’s Jukebox Sessions in 2024 with the release of her seventh themed live recording on Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road. The album, which Lucinda recorded at Abbey Road, followed the release of her widely lauded 2023 album Stories From a Rock N Roll Heart. 

In 2023 Williams also released her long-awaited memoir Don’t Tell Anybody The Secrets I Told You (Crown, a division of Penguin Random House LLC) to wide critical acclaim. The memoir debuted at #5 on the New York Times Bestsellers and was featured on the cover of the New York Times Sunday Styles. 

As an acclaimed, award-winning singer/songwriter for more than four decades, Williams is a pioneering artist whose music has been highly influential and covered by a multitude of others. Williams is also an extraordinary interpreter who, like all great interpreters, has the ability to inhabit a song and make it her own.

Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author Josh Ritter will release his anticipated new album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew, September 12 via Thirty Tigers (pre-order/pre-save here). Ahead of the release, his new song, ‘You Won’t Dig My Grave,’ is out now. Listen/share HERE.

Throughout his decades long career, Ritter has established himself as “one of the most perceptive artists making music today” (American Songwriter), releasing twelve albums to date and earning the respect of countless music legends, with artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Bob Weir having performed and recorded his songs.

With the release of I Believe in You, My Honeydew, Ritter shares ten new tracks that further demonstrate the insightful and engaging artistry that he’s celebrated for. Produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim), the new album features Ritter alongside his Royal City Band: Kassirer (piano, organ, synthesizer, accordion), Zachariah Hickman (acoustic and electric bass, thumb piano, mandolin), Rich Hinman (guitars, pedal steel, mandolin) and Ray Rizzo (drums, percussion). 

Of the project, Ritter shares:

“I lived in the woods when I was a kid. I used to believe (and maybe I was right) that I could walk out of our front door, across the gravel road and, pointing myself north, I could walk to Canada, never once leaving the tree line. Wonder was a temple with no walls, and the Muse was still just a ripple in the ponderosas. I felt no fear.

I’m 48 now. Decades have passed. There have been times I felt my inspiration, my Muse, had passed along with them. And then, not too long ago, I decided that instead of waiting for the Muse to write me a song, I would write the Muse a song instead. I started referring to my Muse as my Honeydew. And this album was born.

The songs on Honeydew are songs for my Muse, my invisible and blinding companion of long-standing. I hope it enjoys them. I hope that it experiences a bit of what it’s like to be human, a bit of what it’s like to be lonely, scared, uncertain, joyful, righteous. I believe in you, my honeydew.”

In celebration of the new music, Ritter will tour through this autumn including newly confirmed stops at Grand Rapids’ St. Cecilia Music Center, Chicago’s Thalia Hall, Minneapolis’ Fitzgerald Theater, Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Theatre, Philadelphia’s Keswick Theatre and New York’s Brooklyn Steel among many others. Full details can be found at www.joshritter.com.

I Believe in You, My Honeydew follows Ritter’s 2024 mini-album, Heaven, or Someplace as Nice, which he recorded with legendary jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and his acclaimed 2023 full-length project, Spectral Lines. Of the record, Paste praised, “Josh Ritter is like a more open-hearted version of Leonard Cohen. His lyrics draw on the divine, but he seems to see a little heaven in all the people around him,” while No Depression declared, “a hopeful tapestry that encourages listeners to sit with each other in introspection, but not to forget to sing along.”

In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels to date: 2011’s Bright’s Passage and 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All, for which the film rights have recently been optioned for development. Released to critical attention, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.”

Margo Price has announced the release of Hard Headed Woman, a hell-bent collection of country music that reconnects with her roots, and further redefines what it means to be a modern outlaw. 

Out August 29th on Loma Vista Recordings, the album captures Margo Price at her wisest, funniest, toughest and most vulnerable. It is a promise and a manifesto, a tribute to both a city and genre, a defiant cry for individuality and deep exploration of America, doubling down not only on herself, but what she has always loved: classic songs written from the intellect and the gut, timeless and urgent all at once. 

Reunited with producer Matt Ross-Spang, recorded in the historic RCA Studio A, and featuring duets with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, Hard Headed Woman marks the first album that Price has made in Nashville, a town she has called home for more than 20 years, and vitally helped to transform, creating a lane where independent and insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream. Performed in the same room where late friends like John Prine and Loretta Lynn have all cut records, Hard Headed Woman looks forward and back, as it places her amongst her heroes as part of a new legacy. But this is country music as only Margo Price can make it: free of rules, cherishing tradition, hard-headed with a delicate heart. 

Beginning with a proclamation that “I don’t owe you f*cking shit,” as Price paraphrases, Hard Headed Woman is about the unshakable instinct to never waver, especially when our values and our future are on the line. In an era of unprecedented uncertainty, that mission is embodied on lead single ‘Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down,’ a song that speaks for the overlooked and underserved, the downtrodden and forgotten. While the track’s titular phrase originates from a call for resistance in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Price was most inspired by the message that Kris Kristofferson whispered to Sinéad O’Connor when she was booed on stage at a Bob Dylan anniversary concert. Co-written with Jeremy Ivey, Kris Kristofferson and Rodney Crowell, one of the early champions who urged Price to create Hard Headed Woman, ‘Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down’ serves as a reminder to always keep fighting for justice and your beliefs. And when the norm is to shut up and sing, and short cuts lie around every corner, Price continues to show how her songwriting can pack the most potent punch of all. Listen to ‘Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down’ HERE and watch the video HERE.

“I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did, which is speak up for the common man and woman. But there have been so many threats and anger and vitriol over the years, when I am only coming from a place of love. So I made the decision to rebuild everything from the ground up. I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves, in a culture that tries as hard as it can to beat us into all being the same.”

-Margo Price

In the decade since working with producer Matt Ross-Spang on her first two albums – Midwest Farmer’s Daughter and All American Made – Margo Price has played Saturday Night Live, earned a GRAMMY® nomination for Best New Artist, became the first female musician appointed to the Farm Aid Board of Directors, and collaborated with everyone from Willie Nelson to Billy Strings, Chris Stapleton, Dolly Parton, Jack White, John Prine, Loretta Lynn, Lucinda Williams, Mavis Staples, Sturgill Simpson and many more. She released four acclaimed LPs and published a lauded memoir (Maybe We’ll Make It, out on paperback September 2nd), and fearlessly pushed herself to explore new sounds and places.

But while Midwest Farmer’s Daughter was about her journey from childhood to Nashville, Hard Headed Woman traces her battle since – from dive bars to tour buses, through parenthood and marriage, scrutiny and sacrifice in a town that prizes uniformity and the bottom line. In addition to collaborations with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, Hard Headed Woman features co-writes with Rodney Crowell, a Waylon Jennings song that his widow, Jessi Colter, urged Price to sing, and so much more, as it reveals a way to march forward when the path of less resistance is right there waiting.

Backed by a brand new live band, and armed with her newly-launched, signature Gibson J-45 guitar, Margo Price will bring the music of Hard Headed Woman on the road this summer and autumn, including a headline show at Scala in London on Wednesday June 18th.
