New Songs
#newmusic4yourears #whatonwhatsgood
1. Wildlife Freeway (Sunny A Atema)
New single "Family"
Sunny describes new single "Family"
"The most important song I will ever write."
2. Micah Barnes
New single and video “Welcome to the Club” from Vegas Breeze Album
Micah Barnes discusses new single and video “Welcome to the Club”
“Since its release, the Vegas Breeze album has become a listener favourite on Jazz stations around the world. We thought we would be touring Europe with this album at this time. Since the whole world is grounded (again) for the moment, I felt releasing a new track and video would be the best way to bring more music to our fans around the world!”
“Thanks to the excellent team at The Aeolian, we felt the footage was strong enough to offer to the public as a video. Working with my director Carlos Coronado we went about recreating an old fashioned 60’s TV look for the final product!”
3. Joe Satriani
New single and video “Sahara” from the new studio album "The Elephants of Mars" (Available on April 8, 2022)
Joe Satriani discusses new studio album "The Elephants of Mars"
“I want to show people that an instrumental guitar album can contain far more creative and entertaining elements than I think people are using right now.”
4. Ryan Wright
New single “A Dream I’ll Forget”
5. Dalannah Gail Bowen
New single “Blues Keep Knockin’"
6. AUS!Funkt
New single “Information YEAH!”
AUS!Funkt discusses new single “Information YEAH!”
“’Information YEAH!’ hits all the keywords that marked this last year and a half: information, regurgitation, constant negation, no inspiration, indoctrination, suffocation and many other ‘-ations’ that we struggled with as a band. But, at the same time, the whole world did as well. It’s not that these things did not exist before the epidemic hit, it’s just that they became much more palpable in the time of crisis.”
7. NOBRO (Kathryn McCaughey, Karolane Carbonneau, Sarah Dion and Lisandre Bourdages)
Karolane Carbonneau explains new single "Bye Bye Baby"
"When I wrote that song, I was having the worst breakup of my life. Kathryn, the lead singer of our band, said to me ‘you should take advantage of your sadness to write a freaking badass song.’ I’ve always wanted to sing lead vocals on a song, but I never got the guts to do it. Props to Kathryn for the support and forcing me to do it! And please, do yourself a favour and never let anyone bring you down. Always believe in yourself."
8. Ava Kay
Ava Kay discusses new single "Go"
"The track is about moving on and moving forward: leaving home for the first time, chasing your dreams, leaving a town, leaving a relationship or a life behind. The lyrics are speaking directly to the doubts people have when they make these hard decisions, and breaking through those doubts so they don’t hold you back.”
“Writing this was a cathartic moment, when I wrote the words “and you take a few steps”, I could feel my soul healing. It's the words I needed to hear to know I’d be ok and that I would move on.”
9. Amaya Santos
Amaya Santos discusses New single “Carousel”
“It made me reflect not only on amorous relationships but on my overall relationships with other people and how sometimes we fail to distinguish the never-ending cycles of unhealthy friendships or remain in one-sided relationships.”
“I think sometimes when we are in a situation like “Carousel”, we are blind to it. I would hope this song could be a wake-up call to anyone who is in a similar situation and that it could help to know they aren't alone and that there are other people feeling the same way or going through similar situations. I also hope it would help them realize they can move on from them.”
10. The Auxiliary (American songwriter and musician Russell Howard)
The Auxiliary discusses New single "Overture"
“When you are overcome with the feeling that you just know how things are going to work out - when you can see it and touch it - that insight can bring both excitement and calm, but also a rather sinister sense of inevitably.”
"Overture is perhaps the most purely electronic and by releasing it first, we touch a far wall of the space I’m creating with The Auxiliary. The next one is a profanity-laced ukulele protest song, so take it as you will.”
11. The CB3
Guitarist and frontman leader of the band Cristian Barbieri New single ‘Teacups & Candy’ featuring XANI
“This song was heavily inspired by Willy Wonker’s chocolate factory. Lickable wallpaper, chocolate rivers and fizzy lifting drinks: It’s wild! So naturally it called for an equally wild violin solo by Xani.”
12. Alessandra Boldrini
Alessandra Boldrini discusses New single "What You Wanted"
“I was in a relationship a few years back, and towards the end, I found myself giving and giving and giving and for what? Nothing, as the other person couldn't even bother to try and make things better.”
13. Eamon McGrath
Eamon McGrath discusses New Single "Age of Unease"
“In 2016, I lost four friends to the opioid epidemic. Before COVID, it seemed like every time you were picking up the phone it was someone telling you about another overdose, and the pandemic only continued that feeling of being always prepared for bad news.”
“Throughout all of this, the last decade into this one, there’s been times when it feels like there’s just no letting up. But in the midst of it all has to be a sense of hope and longing for something better, otherwise what’s the point in continuing on? The world can often be a pretty terrible place, but within it are these tiny shards of incalculable beauty, and you get better at finding them the older you get.”
14. The Chainsmokers
New albums
#newmusic4yourears #whatonwhatsgood
1. SHEAL
Sophomore Album "Courage Again"
If #ucanonlypick1 tell us your favourite song from the album.
My pick is "Noa's Song"
SHEAL discusses sophomore album "Courage Again"
"Courage Again" is about how love makes your inner and outer world expand and how fear makes your inner and outer world contract. It’s about my experience and learnings around pushing through fear rather than running away from it, hence the title of the album."
2. The Moving Stills
New album "Sunshine Corner"
If #ucanonlypick1 tell us your favourite song from the album.
My pick is "U and Me"
The Moving Still discuss New album Sunshine Corner
“This album has been a gradual process of refining and working on songs both old and new over the last two years. The songs that have had a place in our live set for years, and others that haven’t yet been heard. Writing, recording and working on this album felt really nice. It’s an opportunity to give listeners a snapshot of where we are as a band and how we’ve been feeling.
The longer album format allows more insight into our experiences over the last few years. We’ve always written songs based on our experiences and stories we know. It’s definitely honest and heartfelt. In a way, ‘Sunshine Corner’ is a coming of age album filled with stories of emotional struggles, self-realisations and reflections, heartbreak and the lessons learnt along the way. Hopefully some of our experiences connect with the people listening to it.”
