Rising alt-rock artist and mental health advocate Avatari shares the official music video for his latest single Hold On, a sweeping, emotionally charged single. Born in the sacred stillness of Joshua Tree and forged in the chaos of political unrest, wildfires, and pandemic isolation, Hold On is both a battle cry and a balm, a reminder that even when the sky is falling, there’s still something worth holding onto. I am really enjoying his expressive vocals and how passionate his vocal delivery is, soaring effortlessly over the polished alt-rock production with lush guitars and punchy drums. The accompanying music video, directed by…
Add British singer Jess Glynne to the long list of musicians who have taken offense at the use of their songs in one of Donald Trump’s campaign ads. The singer took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday morning (July 30) to express her disgust about a White House X post on Monday that appeared to make light of undocumented people being deported by ICE cued to her 2015 Billboard Hot 100 No. 86 hit “Hold My Hand.” “This post honestly makes me sick,” Glynne wrote over a re-post of a screen shot from the ad in which the detainees’ faces…
In a quiet moment amidst the mayhem of her show, Lady Gaga gave her fiancé, Michael Polansky, a sweet shout-out during her concert at the Kia Forum on Tuesday (July 29). Sitting at the piano after singing her Billboard Hot 100-topping Bruno Mars duet, “Die With a Smile,” solo, the pop superstar tearfully thanked Polansky as Little Monsters in the Los Angeles crowd cheered, as captured in a clip on X. “To Michael, Michael Polansky, the love of my life,” she began, her voice quivering slightly. “It’s so much more fun doing this with you, my babe,” she continued, before…
The European Commission “largely ignored” creators and copyright owners when producing official guidance on the copyright and transparency obligations contained in the EU AI Act. Officials instead chose to implement the new AI regulations in a way that “solely benefits” the AI companies that “continuously infringe copyright and related rights to build their models”. That is according to a consortium of organisations representing creators and rightsholders from across the music, media, film, TV, books and visual art sectors, including music industry groups AEPO-ARTIS, BIEM, CISAC, ECSA, FIM, GESAC, IAO, ICMP, IFPI, IMPALA and IMPF. With the way the EU AI Act is…

American singer and songwriter Brandon Markell Holmes shares his brand new single Love Is Here, a modern disco/dance track taken from his latest album Try, out now via toucan sounds. Produced by Jack Payne, Love Is Here finds Holmes singing about finding love, working towards it, and keep moving even in tough times.

Accompanying his incredible vocal leads and harmonies, I am particularly fond of the blend of disco, pop and electronic music elements, especially the killer…

Thousands of people lined the streets of Birmingham this afternoon (July 30) for Ozzy Osbourne‘s funeral procession.

At one point the Osbourne family exited their vehicles to stop at a fan memorial at the Black Sabbath Bridge and bench. Here, a visibly emotional…

NYC-based artist Chris Ianuzzi struts a creative, ardent electronic pop sound on new single “Reality Games” — melding a range of dynamic synth tones, from foreboding buzzing to twinkling lushness, amidst thematic perspectives on today’s tumult-filled political climate. “What makes you think he’s the chosen one?” Ianuzzi asks alongside warbled synths and illuminated swells persisting alongside, as the “…play the fool” lyrical insight and ardent expressions maneuver alongside, playing like an affirming line of questioning that leads to a hopeful sense of clarity. “I want the people in this country to come together, be the giant and pull the country…
