For their tenth LP, Metric went back to the place where they met: New York City at the height of its indie-rock explosion. Recording once again at Electric Lady, Metric reunited with Fantasies and Synthetica producer Gavin Brown, joined by co-producers Jimmy Shaw, Liam O’Neil, and mix engineer John O’Mahoney. This emotional reunion sonically captures the thrill of the band’s earliest ascent, with all the chaos and possibility of the early-2000s music scene, and brings it into the cultural context of 2026.

Global superstar Luke Combs’ new song, ‘I Ain’t No Cowboy,’ is out today. Listen/share HERE.

Of the song, written by Combs, Cody Johnson and Jake Mears, Combs shares, “We were on tour in Australia with Cody Johnson and had planned to get together while we were there. I had this cowboy idea for a song, and ironically, he’d started writing something really similar that same day. We ended up finding time to write and finished ‘I Ain’t No Cowboy’ with his guitar player Jake Mears, and I even got to play it at one of the shows Down Under. The fans really seemed to love it, so I’m excited they get to hear it a week before the full album comes out.”

‘I Ain’t No Cowboy’ is the latest track unveiled from Combs’ highly anticipated new album, The Way I Am, which will be released next Friday, March 20 via Sony Music Nashville. Already receiving widespread attention, Combs was recently featured on The New York Times Popcast, The Zane Lowe Show, On Purpose with Jay Shetty, NBC’s Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist, Track Star and Bussin’ with the Boys.

Produced by Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Chip Matthews, The Way I Am cements Combs as a singular talent, showcasing his powerful, resonant voice and adept storytelling with songs that balance heartfelt vulnerability with anthemic energy. With the new 22-track album, which includes a collaboration with Alison Krauss as well as previously released songs ‘Sleepless in a Hotel Room,’ ‘My Kinda Saturday Night,’ ‘Days Like These,’ ‘15 Minutes,’ ‘Giving Her Away’ and ‘Back in the Saddle,’ Combs dives deeper than ever into his life behind the scenes—the challenges of balancing family and career, self-doubt and self-belief and the clarity that comes from focusing on what truly matters.

In celebration of the new music, Combs will kick off his massive My Kinda Saturday Night Tour next weekend, with sold-out stadium shows across the U.S., U.K. and Europe. Upcoming stops include three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium (the first country artist to sell out multiple shows), two nights at Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield, two nights at Ireland’s Slane Castle, two nights at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field and stops at South Bend’s Notre Dame Stadium, Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium, Columbus’ Ohio Stadium, Paris’ Accor Arena and Sweden’s Ullevi among others.

The new album adds to an already groundbreaking career for Combs, who made history last year as the first country artist to headline both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, in addition to topping the bills at several other all-genre festivals including Austin City Limits, Newport Folk Festival and New Orleans JazzFest. Additionally, he became the first country artist with two songs earning a billion streams on Spotify, the first with four singles certified RIAA Diamond and recently extended his record for the most consecutive #1 singles at country radio as he earned his 20th #1 with ‘Back in the Saddle.’ These accomplishments follow Combs’ last album, Fathers & Sons, which reflects on his experiences as a dad and the unique bond between parents and their children, and led NPR Music to praise, “he’s going beyond the country realm now and really has become a popstar, a global popstar.”

A Grand Ole Opry member and 11x CMA, 4x ACM, 6x Billboard Music Award-winner from Asheville, NC, Combs recently collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (‘Guy For That’ + ‘Missin’ You Like This’), Bailey Zimmerman (‘Backup Plan,’the 2025 SEC Network anthem), Jon Bellion (‘WHY’) and Alex Warren (“‘Ordinary (Live at Lollapalooza)’), and partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open Category 10—an entertainment complex in downtown Nashville, with a second location opening in Las Vegas this year. Combs also performed an unforgettable duet of ‘Fast Car’ with Tracy Chapman at the 66th Grammy Awards and joined forces with Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor to headline “Concert for Carolina,” a special benefit show that raised over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

GRAMMY-winning Irish-American rapper, singer & songwriter Everlast returns today with a powerful new single, ‘Stones’ – his inaugural release with Thirty Tigers, in partnership with Regime Music Group. Produced by Yelawolf, more on an upcoming project will be revealed soon. Listen to ‘Stones’ HERE & watch the video HERE.

“Stones’ is a song about culpability and regret. A journey from self loathing to self healing and forgiveness,” Everlast says. Raw, reflective, and deeply personal, the song marks the first glimpse into this next chapter, a bold step forward that balances vulnerability with resilience. Like his empathy anthem of the past 20 years, “What It’s Like,” it’s yet another example of Everlast seamlessly weaving the thread that connects all walks of life through the shared, everyday realities we each experience – no matter who we are or where we come from.

Everlast also shared a clip of ‘Rubber Bullets’ from the new album, written while watching the George Floyd protests, as well as the standalone single and anti-ICE anthem ‘Blood on the Wheel’ with multi-platinum producer WLPWR (“every revolution needs a soundtrack” – Jolly Good Ginger).

On March 14, Everlast will join syndicated radio show Skratch N Sniff for its St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl Mix, featuring a special mix of his extensive catalogue. This autumn, Everlast will also perform at Oceans Calling Festival on September 25 in Ocean City, MD.

You can call him Everlast, Whitey Ford or even Erik Francis Schrody, but by any name, this singer-songwriter-rap legend’s remarkable music career has seen him reinvent himself several times over. From his first solo album, Forever Everlasting, under the auspices of Ice-T’s Rhyme Syndicate when he was barely out of his teens, to the ‘Jump Around’ success with House of Pain, the genre-bending multi-platinum Whitey Ford Sings the Blues and his GRAMMY-winning contribution to Carlos Santana’s Supernatural album (‘Put Your Lights On’), plus an Emmy nomination for the Saving Grace theme, Everlast has forged a groundbreaking merger of hip-hop, rock, folk, funk and R&B, influencing everyone from Yelawolf to Jelly Roll and beyond, even if he’s too modest to say it himself.

After teasing the record with the evocative ‘Wild Horse’ earlier this year and 2025’s cutting single ‘Wicker Woman,’ one of the UK’s most impressive vocal talents Freya Ridings has announced the release of her stunning new album Mother Of Pearl, which will come May 29th on BMG. Alongside the announcement comes new single ‘I Have Always Loved You’. The track comes alongside a captivating video directed by Nic Minns (Lewis Capaldi, Ed Sheeran, Anne-Marie) and shot at Asylum Chapel, which will drop at 17:00 on Friday March 13th. Listen to the single HERE & watch the video HERE.

Opening with the empowering and assured banger ‘Euphoria,’ Mother Of Pearl is 11 tracks of flawless beauty. Reinventing herself, while maintaining the voice that has become so recognisable, there’s a defiance and a fire to Freya Ridings’ new era. It’s a strength borne from her journey, forging a path through a patriarchal industry that all-too-often tried to mould her into what they wanted her to be and not what she was aspiring to.

Leaving her hometown of London, Ridings headed to LA for a year to try and reignite her creative light. She surrounded herself with people who truly loved their craft, going into sessions with the likes of Jenn Decilvio (Miley Cyrus, Hozier), Fraser T Smith (Adele, Dave), Adam Yaron (Alex Warren), Toby Gad (John Legend, Beyoncé), Sam de Jong (Gracie Abrams): writers and producers that wanted to hear what she had to say and to elevate it.

“You could feel the electricity and the positivity that they have, and that really recharged me,” she says. “Even just being around them was a joy.” Slowly, the backbone of her new music began to make itself clear: a third act that was not just about reclaiming her own narrative, but celebrating the act of reclamation and return in itself.

“My first album had a colour palette of red and black, for fire and pain. The second album was orange and green – earthy and organic. But this new music evokes water, the big blue sea, with all the depth and ancient power of an ocean: it’s grief and it’s ancestry, the known and the unknown,” Freya says of the album. “There’s a lot of rebellion and female rage that I wasn’t able to express before. I’m rebuilding myself to who I actually know I am instead of what people tried to force me to be.”

The album’s third cut and fan favourite, Freya has also released her emotional new single ‘I Have Always Loved You.’ Written with her friend and songwriter Toby Gadd (John Legend, Beyoncé, Demi Lovato), the track was written at Toby’s studio in LA on Valentine’s Day. “This song is the very (almost uncomfortably true) love story that I never thought I’d ever write down, let alone sing out loud,” Freya says of the track. “Toby asked me, “what’s been the greatest love story of your life?” I took a moment and paused, as it had been anything but smooth sailing and something that felt incredibly private to share, but almost cosmically and magically timed it came out like a voicemail message and is a song that felt like a spell being cast.” Listen to ‘I Have Always Loved You’ HERE.

One of the UK’s finest talents since she broke through with her multi-platinum selling single ‘Lost Without You,’ Freya has had a remarkable career to date. Her self-titled debut album was a BRIT-nominated, Gold-certified triumph, achieving over 1 billion streams and earning 47 Gold and Platinum certifications worldwide. ‘Lost Without You’ also saw Freya become the first female artist to both write and perform a solo Top 10 hit in the UK.

Going into her third album Freya Ridings is not the same artist she was before. She’s had to reach down into the depths and find reserves that she didn’t know she had, and in doing so, she’s tapped into a rich seam of anger and wisdom and womanhood that feels as timely now as it ever was. As she says, “Getting to create, sing and play these songs and have them exist in the real world, that feels like winning to me.”

With ‘Sober’, Antwerp indie-pop trio BLUAI return with their first new music in over two years. Out now via Unday Records, the single introduces a subtly evolved sound and sets the tone for the band’s next phase. One that leans even further into immediacy, emotional clarity and the dynamic energy that has defined their live reputation. Listen to ‘Sober’ HERE.

Built around a warm yet driving arrangement, ‘Sober’ balances luminous melodies with a weightier subject: witnessing someone you care about gradually lose themselves to addiction. Rather than presenting a personal testimony, the song unfolds as a universal reflection on helplessness, loyalty and the complicated tenderness that persists even as situations unravel. There’s a quiet tension running through the track, between concern and hope, distance and closeness, memory and the present moment.

Yet throughout the song a beautiful and catchy chorus breaks through the bleakness with warmth and hope: “I wish I could fix it all for you, I’d do it for you” sings Cath, a disarming moment of openness that invites collective recognition rather than private introspection. The result is a track that carries emotional gravity without losing BLUAI’s instinct for melody, connection and understated uplift.

Written after an intense period of touring, ‘Sober’ signals a confident shift in approach. Determined to capture the immediacy of their concerts, BLUAI chose to record new material live in the studio, prioritising spontaneity and emotional directness over polish. The sessions took place at London’s legendary RAK Studios with producer and engineer Isabel Gracefield (Radiohead, Anna Calvi, Self Esteem), whose intuitive approach matched the band’s desire for an unfiltered recording process. The single offers the first glimpse of this new chapter, where indie folk roots and alternative pop sensibilities intertwine with an even more direct live-band energy.

Since the release of their acclaimed debut album Save It For Later in 2024, BLUAI (Catherine Smet, Mo Govaerts and Caitlin Talbut) have steadily built a name for themselves at home and abroad. After winning Belgium’s three leading music contests, the band became a fixture on national airwaves and festival line-ups, with appearances at Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Cactus Festival, Lokerse Feesten and more.

Beyond Belgium, BLUAI have expanded their reach across Europe and the UK with standout performances at Hyde Park (UK), Lowlands (NL), Vida Festival (ES), Frequency Festival (AT), Dot to Dot (UK) and Live at Leeds (UK), while earning “band to watch” features in Rolling Stone UK and The Independent.

With ‘Sober’, BLUAI not only mark their long-awaited return, but also sharpen the emotional and musical core that has been drawing audiences in across stages and borders: a first taste of what promises to be a compelling new body of work.

Following a sweat drenched show, packed to the rafters at The Social in London at the top of the year, Future Utopia, the innovative musical project led by Grammy-winning producer Fraser T. Smith, is back with their groove driven new single ‘Spiritual Machines’. The track is the first to be taken from the trio’s forthcoming album, which is due later this year and the follow-up to his acclaimed 2024 album Django’s High. Listen to ‘Spiritual Machines’ HERE.

An infectiously entrancing track, ‘Spiritual Machines’ is a psyche infused banger made to get people on the dance floor. Recorded at Fraser T Smith’s Utopia studio the track explores how society is becoming ‘automated’. “Under the digital veil of social media, humanity is struggling to balance our true consciousness versus technology and AI,” Fraser says of the track. “Remembering that music is a craft, a lifelong pursuit and that going the long way round is the most rewarding way to create is essential in an age where we can now make whole tracks with the touch of a button.”

A renowned producer across the world, Fraser T. Smith has worked with the likes of Adele, Stormzy, Gorillaz, Dave and Sam Smith and has received multiple awards across his career, including a Grammy for his contribution to Adele’s album, 21. Fraser also produced and co-wrote Kae Tempest’s latest single ‘Statue In The Square’, which dropped last month and marks their first release since 2022’s ‘I Saw Light’.

Closing 2025 working with Dave across his acclaimed chart topping record The Boy Who Played The Harp, Fraser kicked off 2026 with a bang. Alongside Future Utopia Fraser has already collaborated with Kasabian and Calvin Harris on their single ‘Release The Pressure,’ worked on J Cole’s ‘Life Sentence’ and Lava La Rue’s latest hit ‘Scratches’. 2026 is set to be another massive year for Fraser and Future Utopia.

Jehnny Beth teams up with Mike Patton (Faith No More) on her new single ‘Look At Me’. Patton was a huge influence on Jehnny Beth during the recording of her latest album ‘You Heartbreaker, You‘. Specifically, his ability to switch between high pitch crooning and soft atmospheric whispering. Listen HERE & Watch the video HERE.

“When Johnny [Hostile] and I wrote ‘Look At Me’, we had this idea of a song in two parts” – it became clear from the start that Patton was the ideal fit. “When Mike sent his vocals it was like choosing candy in a candy store, he had a million ideas, it was mind blowing,” Jehnny said of the collaboration.

Reflecting on the track’s origins, Jehnny reveals that “it’s about the modern sellers of truth, who share their opinion online on how to ‘better oneself’, giving an illusion of control – but all they really want is to be the centre of attention.” ‘Look At Me’ is a song about deceivers and the effect they have on those susceptible to the sinister luring of misleading ideology.

These ideas all set the tone for the Taxi Driver inspired ‘Look At Me’ music video. “I represent De Niro’s character who embodies this lonely outcast who doesn’t have a place in the world”, Jehnny explains. “Mike is the preacher who changes my outlook on the world, and our two characters merge together towards the end.”

Combining the hyper-real photo-aesthetic of Martin Parr with Gregg Araki filmography, Jehnny explores the underbelly of humanity via the lens of characters “who say a big fuck off to the world.” Watch the video HERE.

The new album ‘You Heartbreaker, You’ is out now on Fiction Records

Receiving acclaim across the board, MOJO called the record “a sensuous pile-driving mix”, with Pitchfork exclaiming “she knows what she wants and she just—does it”. Rolling Stone UK continued the praise by calling the LP “her most fully realised album as a solo artist, as well as her most visceral.”

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.

Multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, and global hitmaker Bebe Rexha unveils ‘New Religion,’ track and official visual, a high-voltage dance anthem inspired by the timeless club classic ‘Insomnia’ from legendary electronic group Faithless.

Reimagined for a new era, the track channels the spirit of the original while transforming it into this generation’s defining summer soundtrack, and the focus track from Bebe’s upcoming album, DIRTY BLONDE.

Built around the unmistakable DNA of ‘Insomnia’, ‘New Religion’ weaves the original’s hypnotic bassline into Rexha’s commanding vocal performance, transforming a 1995 dance landmark into a sleek, modern club record. The track honors the legacy of the original while reintroducing its pulse to a new era. Watch the visual HERE & Listen HERE.

“‘New Religion’ is really my salvation on the dance floor. It’s about letting go and getting lost in the music. I was in a dark place when I wrote it, and I realized music had always been the one thing that never left me — it’s always had my back, even in a tough industry and a heavy world. I wanted to write a love letter to music itself. When the bass hits, you feel it in your chest and suddenly you feel alive again. That’s what this song is about for me — feeling safe in the music and remembering that spark. I hope when people hear it, it makes them want to get up and dance, but more than that, I hope it makes them feel alive,” said Rexha.

The release marks another bold chapter for Rexha, who continues to blur genre lines across pop, dance, and electronic music through boundary-pushing records and chart-topping global hits.

** Festival appearance

The Imposters are Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher and they are joined once again by guitarist Charlie Sexton.

As the playful billing suggests, the show will feature numbers drawn from record releases from My Aim Is True in 1977 to Blood & Chocolate in 1986, along with other surprises. Those nine years saw the first appearance of some of Elvis Costello’s most renowned compositions from ‘Watching The Detectives’ to ‘I Want You’, along with songs that have remained in The Imposters’ live repertoire over the last 20 or more years, including ‘Alison,’ ‘Man Out Of Time’ and ‘Brilliant Mistake.’

“For any songwriter, it has to be a compliment if people want to hear songs written up to fifty years ago. Among them, ‘Radio Soul,’ the first draft of what eventually became ‘Radio Radio,” Elvis said of the run. “You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure. Don’t forget this show is “Performed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters”, an ensemble which includes three people who first recorded this music and two more who bring something entirely new. They are nobody’s tribute band. The Imposters are a living, breathing, swooning, swinging, kicking and screaming rock and roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.”

These dates follow the autumn 2024 release of King Of America & Other Realms – a 6-CD anthology that tells the story of that 1986 album and the music to which it led. The King Of America songs are expected to be heard in the mid-show interlude, along with songs written as long ago as 1975 and even some of those “pretty ballads” that Costello has promised.

Linda Perry has released ‘Beautiful,’ the first single from her upcoming solo album Let It Die Here, out May 8^th on Kill Rock Stars/670 Records. Perry revisited her iconic song ‘Beautiful,’ delivering a raw, intimate performance that reframes the anthem through her own lived experience. Delivered with stark vulnerability, Perry showcases the song’s message of self-acceptance and being free to be whoever you want to be. Linda Perry performed ‘Beautiful’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live! February 24^th. Let It Die Here marks Perry’s first solo album in over 25 years. The inspiration to write these songs emerged during the filming of her deeply personal documentary, also titled Let It Die Here. Listen to ‘Beautiful’ HERE.

To accompany ‘Beautiful,’ Linda tapped actor/producer/director Sara Gilbert who created a visually stunning short film/music video based around a talent show with a 1940’s influence but also feels timeless. The film stars their child Rhodes Perry, actor Lukas Haas, Shane Powers (Babylon, Survivor) as well as a cast of a close circle of friends, family, actors and musicians. The breathtaking set showcases costume designer Gara Gambucci’s gorgeous wardrobe (she also gave an additional iconic Linda Perry hat a starring role) and the shoot was filled with a talented crew, including some of The Conners team who all contributed their talents to create a video that showcases the importance of being unafraid to show the world who you really are.

“When I wrote Beautiful, I had no idea I was struggling inside. ‘I am beautiful no matter what they say.’ ‘They’ represents the insecurities we all face, the fear that makes people unkind simply because someone or something is different. Beautiful is about self-expression, being free to be whoever you want to be. ‘Don’t you bring me down today.’ Don’t you dare try to make me feel less than, not good enough, or ugly because I don’t look like you. Don’t treat me like I don’t matter just because I do not speak or think like you. I will shine in every single way, and no one can take that from me, you, or anyone. Sara Gilbert captured the innocence and vulnerability of a brave child unafraid to show the world who they are. While stepping in front of a neophobic crowd, our star shines a light on how beautiful difference can be.” – Linda Perry

“When Linda asked me to direct the music video for Beautiful, I was honored but tentative at first. Was she sure she wanted to trust me with such an iconic song—such a meaningful piece of her work? We hung up the phone, and two minutes later I called her back and said, “I’ve got it.”

“Take your time,” she replied.

“No. I have it.”

That was the start of a somewhat obsessive five-month passion project. Rather than a traditional music video, I approached Beautiful as a short film about finding confidence and strength in the face of intolerance. My hope is that it encourages even a handful of people to be braver in their truth—and perhaps a few others to reconsider what beauty can mean.” – Sara Gilbert

Following its critically acclaimed debut at the Tribeca Film Festival, Mercury Studios recently announced that the feature-length documentary Linda Perry: Let It Die Here will launch a global theatrical roll out beginning in May, with a streaming debut to follow. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Don Hardy (Citizen Penn, Pick of the Litter) and produced by KTF Films, the film offers an unfiltered portrait of one of the most influential figures in modern music. Evan Saxon Productions will distribute the film theatrically.

Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated producer and Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Linda Perry is one of the most accomplished people working in music today. Beginning her musical journey as the lead singer of 4 Non Blondes, she has profoundly impacted pop culture through her work as a producer and songwriter. Her resounding influence on female empowerment resonates through her sincere artistry, helping shape the sounds of P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Adele, Ariana Grande, Celine Dion, Miley Cyrus and many more.

4 Non Blondes’ debut album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!, spent more than a year on the Billboard 200 after its release in 1992, going platinum and spawning the anthem, “What’s Up?,” ubiquitous on MTV at the time and still a rallying cry against those forces of quasi-political control in the name of personal freedom. The song entered the prestigious Spotify Billions Club in November 2024, while the video is currently closing in on 2 billion YouTube views. Despite their meteoric rise, 4 Non Blondes disbanded in 1994, with lead vocalist Linda Perry going from her auspicious start in 4 Non Blondes to a wildly successful career as a songwriter, producer, label owner and, including such platinum records as Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” Gwen Stefani’s “What You Waiting For?” and P!nk’s “Get the Party Started.”

In 2019, Perry earned a groundbreaking Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year, making her the first woman in 15 years to be nominated in the category. Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations followed for her work on “Girl In the Movies,” a track she co-wrote with Dolly Parton for the Netflix film Dumplin. Perry has also scored the films Luckiest Girl Alive, To Leslie, Citizen Penn and the 2021 documentary Kid 90. In March 2022, she launched EqualizeHer, a charitable initiative she co-founded with Alisha Ballard to achieve equal representation for women across all aspects of the music industry. In 2025 Linda Perry reunited with her original band 4 Non Blondes, which she first formed in the Bay Area in 1989 in the middle of an earthquake with co-founding bassist Christa Hillhouse. The two joined with drummer Dawn Richardson and guitarist Roger Rocha, both members of the original touring band, for the first time in more than 33 years. “I put my feelers out into the universe,” said Perry about the reunion. “Playing some songs with 4 Non Blondes just seemed like a fun thing to do, in a way it hadn’t before now. I’ve been behind the scenes for far too long. I want to step out to be the artist I am. I’m just open to all the possibilities that I’ve created around me. I manifest things all the time.”

On the heels of a successful reunion in 2025 and performing at music festivals around the world, Linda Perry and 4 Non Blondes went viral on TikTok with the ‘What’s Up/Beez In The Trap’ mashup, reaching #1 on the platform’s trending song charts and generating more than 3 million user created videos. Notable celebrities who have done the trend include Madonna, J.Lo, Alex Cooper x Andy Cohen, Khloe Kardashian x Kylie Jenner, Amy Poehler x Hayley Williams, Gordon Ramsey, Joe Jonas x Khalid, Jessica Alba and many more. A new 4 Non Blondes album is slated for release in late 2026.

“Peaches’ return to music coincides with a cultural moment that’s desperate for a shock to the system, and she’s just the service top for the job” – Pitchfork

“An impressively literate expansion of Peaches’ sonic universe…the sparklingly crisp production on moody darkwave outing “Take It” is a reminder of how expensive this album sounds” – Resident Advisor

 “Nothing short of a musical battle standard for those refusing to conform to society’s bland expectations” – The Arts Desk, 5 STARS

 “The Canadian pop provocateur is addressing a world cratering toward hate in a way that only she can” – The FADER

“The rallying cry we need right now” – CBC Music

“On flying, filthy form, banging through a sonically dauntless run of OTT, sometimes jaw dropping statements and sidebars” – Line of Best Fit

Iconic musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches releases No Lube So Rude, her first full length album in 10+ years. A brash, unapologetic blend of electronic, dance, punk, industrial, and pop music, the album exists at the intersection of the personal and the political, where the body serves not only as a sexual and spiritual vessel, but also as the front line in a battle for basic human rights. Peaches’ lyrics are bawdy and explicit here, laced with biting sarcasm and clever wordplay, but they’re also surprisingly vulnerable, offering up a candid look in the mirror from a post-menopausal queer icon reckoning with a society that’s come to expect silence, if not outright erasure. The album marks her signing and first release on the storied independent label Kill Rock Stars.

To celebrate, Peaches has released the surreal music video for the hyperactive track ‘Hanging Titties.’ Peaches co-stars as a bizarro caretaker alongside Ru Paul’s Drag Race’s JIMBO as her uncanny, uncontrollable nursing home patient. JIMBO also directed the music video with Brad Hammer, which was shot in Las Vegas. Watch the video HERE.

Tonight, Peaches will embark on her 27-date North American tour, kicking off in Miami. The North American tour will feature support from Model/Actriz, Cortisa Star, and Pixel Grip. Peaches has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold on the North American tour goes to support the Trans Justice Funding Project and their work funding trans-led grassroots organizations in the US and US Territories who exist to serve and improve the lives of their local and national trans, gender non conforming and non-binary communities. An EU/UK tour will follow in April.

No Lube So Rude features previously released singles including the title track, which was released alongside a music video produced in collaboration with feminist erotic filmmaker Erika Lust​​. The album also features ‘Not In Your Mouth None of Your Business’ – an “energizing rallying chant for bodily autonomy in the form of a pounding punk dance anthem” (Stereogum), which received a floor-burner remix from Boys Noize and ‘‘Fuck Your Face”, a chanting, pulsating banger of pleasure seeking that Vice proclaimed “showcase[s] what Peaches has long been best at: subverting expectations to balance the poetic and the perverted on an endless knife’s edge,” and received a glitched-out remix from Only Fire. The album, recorded with producer The Squirt Deluxe in Berlin, is a deliberately provocative exploration of identity, sexuality, and bodily autonomy from a feminist trailblazer, a singular work of emotional and sonic alchemy that balances the poetic and the profane in equal measure as it transforms all the friction and frustration of modern life into joy and transcendence.

Peaches has also released a collaboration with Medicine Mama on a “No Lube So Rude” special edition of their Intimate Glide personal lubricant, available online and on Peaches’ tour. Medicine Mama is a women-founded vulva care brand focused on normalizing conversations around intimate health and helping women better understand their bodies. The brand is intentionally vocal about using the words vulva and vagina, with the goal of removing stigma and encouraging education and self-advocacy. Founded by physician Dr. Clare Bertucio, Medicine Mama was created to address a major gap in women’s health—accurate, thoughtful vulva care made by women, for women. At its core, the brand is about empowerment, education, and changing the conversation around intimate care.
