Platinum-selling country artist and 2025 Grand Ole Opry NextStage honoree Chayce Beckham has released his latest single, “Ocean Blue,” a poignant heartbreaker that leans into the timeless storytelling of country legends like George Strait and Merle Haggard.

As Beckham continues his fall run on Warren Zeiders’ Relapse, Lies & Betrayal Tour, “Ocean Blue” cements his reputation as a vital voice in modern country, blending raw vulnerability with a classic, “restless sea” atmosphere that resonates with anyone who has navigated the deep waters of a breakup.

(Who Run the World),” ‘California Cowgirl’ also highlights Bosko’s deeper artistry through tracks penned by country heavyweights like Lainey Wilson, Garth Brooks, and Hannah Dasher.

Juan Gabriel’s Artistry Lives On with New Posthumous Album ‘Eterno’
Nearly a decade after his passing, the legendary “Divo de Juárez” returns with ‘Eterno’, a collection of 20 tracks featuring never-before-heard vocal recordings paired with fresh arrangements. Released digitally and followed by CD and 2-LP formats via Virgin Music Group, the project fulfills Juan Gabriel’s long-held wish to record a dedicated mariachi album. Executive produced by his son Iván Aguilera and produced by long-time musical director Guillermo Hernández Galicia, the album features unreleased vocals captured shortly before the icon’s death in 2016. These authentic recordings have been meticulously set to new mariachi orchestrations that honor his original creative vision, ensuring that his profound songwriting remains a vibrant part of the global Latin music landscape.
‘Eterno’ highlights the composer’s versatility, featuring standout single “Enamorado y Feliz” alongside reimagined versions of classics like “No Tengo Dinero” and “Te Lo Pido Por Favor.” The album also serves as a deeper dive into his vast catalog with the inclusion of gems like “Las Cartas de Alberto,” showcasing the intimate and emotional range that made him one of the most successful Mexican artists in history. Producers spent seven months ensuring the arrangements respected the “Divo’s” specific advice and stylistic preferences, creating a bridge between his historical hits and the previously unreleased material he had stored away. The result is a collection that feels as though Juan Gabriel is still in the studio, continuing a legacy that has already seen over 100 million records sold worldwide.
The release of ‘Eterno’ arrives during a major cultural resurgence for Juan Gabriel, supported by staggering streaming numbers and high-profile media projects. With over 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a YouTube presence reaching billions of views, his voice remains an omnipresent force across generations. This momentum is further amplified by the Netflix documentary series ‘Juan Gabriel: I Must, I Can, I Will’ (Debo, Puedo y Quiero), which premiered on October 30th. The four-part series provides an unprecedented look at the man behind the music, Alberto Aguilera Valadez, through hundreds of hours of his own personal home videos and archival footage, offering fans a rare glimpse into the duality of his public brilliance and private life.
As a pioneer who bridged the gap between traditional Mexican music and global pop, Juan Gabriel’s influence remains unmatched. His status as a cultural touchstone was reaffirmed earlier in 2025 when the 10th-anniversary theatrical release of his ‘Mis 40 En Bellas Artes’ concert film became one of the most-watched musical events in Mexican cinema history. This posthumous album not only adds to his collection of 1,800 songs but also provides the Hispanic community with a fresh soundtrack for celebration and reflection. ‘Eterno’ is not merely a tribute; it is a vital continuation of a career that earned 17 Billboard Awards and a permanent place in the hearts of millions, proving that the music of Juan Gabriel is indeed eternal.
