49 Winchester Release ‘Change of Plans’ and Score an ACM Group of the Year Nomination

49 Winchester has arrived. ‘Change of Plans,’ the Virginia alt-country outfit’s highly anticipated new album, is out today via Lucille Records and MCA, and it lands at a moment that feels genuinely earned. The band is also nominated for Group of the Year at this Sunday’s ACM Awards in Las Vegas, a recognition that reflects just how far they’ve come and how seriously the industry is paying attention. Listen here.

The critical establishment got there first. Rolling Stone noted that 49 Winchester has already managed to wield a level of influence over other artists that some bands never see in a 5-decade career. Billboard called them top-tier, citing their ability to blend rock, country, blues, and Americana into a signature sound all their own. Whiskey Riff went further, predicting that as the 2020s close out, 49 Winchester will be remembered as one of the most important bands of the decade. Those aren’t throwaway quotes. They’re a verdict.

‘Change of Plans’ was executive produced by Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson) at his recording studio in Savannah, GA, and recorded in just 8 days, a timeline that speaks to the focused creative energy the band brought into the room. Cobb also founded Lucille Records, the Nashville-based label that champions artistic freedom and genre-blending, making this a natural home for a band that has never been easy to categorize.

The album expands 49 Winchester’s sonic palette while staying rooted in the vivid Appalachian storytelling that built their reputation. Standout tracks include “Oh Savannah,” “Slowly,” and “Pardon Me,” each offering a clear look at a band operating with new confidence and emotional range. The album also includes a stirring cover of Black Sabbath’s “Changes,” a choice that says everything about where this band’s head is at creatively.

Led by singer-songwriter Isaac Gibson alongside Bus Shelton on lead guitar, Chase Chafin on bass, Noah Patrick on pedal steel, Tim Hall on keys, and Justin Louthian on drums, 49 Winchester has built this thing from the ground up. Formed by childhood friends Gibson and Chafin in Castlewood, Virginia, the band spent years honing their sound through relentless touring and front-porch-to-festival-stage perseverance before selling out 2 nights at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium last fall.

“We started this thing from the smallest seed possible,” Gibson says. “And by staying true to that same mindset, it finally feels like now is our time to come up.” ‘Change of Plans’ is the sound of a band fully stepping into that moment.

The band is currently on the road with a massive routing that runs through November, including headline dates and select shows supporting Eric Church and Tim McGraw. Stops include Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Fenway Park, Alpine Valley Music Theatre, Moody Center, and many more.

‘Change of Plans’ Tracklist:

  1. The Window
  2. Bluebird
  3. Changes
  4. All Around Me
  5. Slowly
  6. All Over Again
  7. Oh Savannah
  8. Bringin’ Home The Bacon
  9. Pardon Me
  10. Heavy Chevy

The Rolling Stones Drop the Video for “In The Stars” and Announce New Album ‘Foreign Tongues’

The Rolling Stones Drop the Video for “In The Stars” and Announce New Album ‘Foreign Tongues’

The Rolling Stones are back with new music, a new album, and a video that uses cutting-edge deepfake technology to pull the band’s 1970s selves into the present. The clip for “In The Stars,” the lead single from their newly announced studio album ‘Foreign Tongues,’ is out now, directed by Francois Rousselet, whose resume includes work with Nike, Diesel, Pharrell Williams, and previous Stones videos including “Angry” from ‘Hackney Diamonds’ and “Ride ‘Em On Down” from ‘Blue & Lonesome.’

The video was created by Deep Voodoo using deepfake technology to model the Stones from the 70s performing “In The Stars” alongside musicians, singers, dancers, and performers from different eras and subcultures. It’s a visual statement that spans decades while the song itself stays firmly in the now, upbeat, infectious, and immediately engaging.

Starring in the video is actress Odessa A’zion (Marty Supreme, I Love LA), and she didn’t hold back on what the experience meant to her. “Are you kidding me? It’s my dream,” she says. “The first record that I ever got that I listened to from start to finish was ‘Tattoo You.’ I’m obsessed with the Rolling Stones. This is in my bucket list for sure.” That kind of enthusiasm is hard to manufacture, and it shows in the final product.

“In The Stars” was released last week alongside the album announcement and the album’s opening track “Rough and Twisted,” both available digitally now. The physical release of “In The Stars” lands today, May 15. Before the official announcement, the Stones had already been quietly building anticipation with a limited white label vinyl release of “Rough and Twisted” under the name The Cockroaches, circulating among fans and collectors and sparking considerable excitement about the album’s raw, exploratory direction.

‘Foreign Tongues’ arrives July 10 via Polydor Records, less than 3 years after ‘Hackney Diamonds,’ the Grammy Award-winning album that topped charts worldwide and achieved multi-platinum success. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood reunited with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who also helmed ‘Hackney Diamonds,’ for what became an exceptionally productive recording period. The entire album was recorded in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, a timeline that speaks to the creative momentum the band brought into the sessions.

The result is a 14-track collection described as dynamic and forward-looking, capturing the Stones’ unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory. That’s no small thing for a band whose catalog already spans more than 6 decades, and ‘Foreign Tongues’ makes a strong case that their creative instincts remain as sharp as ever.

‘Foreign Tongues’ will be available across a wide range of formats, including CD, deluxe CD editions, cassette, multiple vinyl variants (standard and limited colour pressings), exclusive retailer editions, and special box sets. Pre-order is live now at rollingstones.com.

‘Foreign Tongues’ Tracklist:

  1. Rough and Twisted
  2. In The Stars
  3. Jealous Lover
  4. Mr Charm
  5. Divine Intervention
  6. Ringing Hollow
  7. Never Wanna Lose You
  8. Hit Me In The Head
  9. You Know I’m No Good
  10. Some of Us
  11. Covered In You
  12. Side Effects
  13. Back In Your Life
  14. Beautiful Delilah

Tony Ann’s Diamond-Certified “Icarus” Gets a Stunning Reimagining From French Producer Drics

Tony Ann’s Diamond-Certified “Icarus” Gets a Stunning Reimagining From French Producer Drics

Tony Ann’s “Icarus” has already traveled far. With over 145 million audio streams, more than 2 million social media creations, and a diamond certification from the CNM in 2025, the track has established itself as one of neoclassical music’s most widely embraced compositions. Now French soft house producer Drics has taken it somewhere new, and the result is genuinely striking.

The remix preserves the haunting beauty of Tony Ann’s original piano while introducing immersive synth layers and subtle grooves that build toward a suspended, euphoric drop. Rooted in the Greek myth of Icarus, the track gains a new emotional dimension through Drics’ lens, bridging classical feeling with modern electronic production in a way that feels both fresh and fully earned.

Drics is a French soft house producer whose sound pulls from chill house, indie pop, and UK garage, blending tight rhythmic structures with emotive synth work to craft soundscapes designed to move both body and soul. His touch on “Icarus” lands exactly where it should, expansive, atmospheric, and emotionally charged without losing the delicacy of the source material.

Tony Ann himself is one of the most compelling pianists working today. With over 1 billion views, 450 million streams, and more than 6 million social media followers, the virtuoso has built a genuinely global audience through his viral “#playthatword” series, his Decca Records France debut ‘EMOTIONS (Deluxe),’ and his critically acclaimed 2025 album ‘360°.’ His world tour has sold out venues from the Olympia in Paris and the Barbican in London to stages in Helsinki, Kuala Lumpur, Chicago, Melbourne, and São Paulo.

Most recently, Tony released ‘SYNERGY’ on April 3, 2026, a collaborative orchestral project with genre-defying duo ARKAI, reimagining 9 of his most beloved compositions with full orchestral arrangements. The Drics remix of “Icarus” is out now across all platforms here.

BNYX Drops Star-Studded Debut Album ‘GENESIS FM’ and Hits the Road With Yeat This Summer

BNYX has been one of the most dominant forces behind the boards in hip-hop for years. Today, he steps fully to the front. ‘GENESIS FM,’ his debut artist album, is out now via Lyfestyle Corporation, Field Trip, and Capitol Records, and it arrives as one of the most ambitious producer-led projects in recent memory, 14 tracks that move fluidly across genres, moods, and sonic worlds with a confidence that only comes from someone who’s been quietly running things for a long time. Listen here.

The guest list alone tells a story. Yeat, Peso Pluma, Don Toliver, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Quavo, Bizarrap, Chromeo, Röyksopp, Lancey Foux, and Clara La San are among those who show up, and each one sounds fully at home inside BNYX’s creative universe. “luv yoU right” pairs electro-funk duo Chromeo with Philly jazz saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins. “I wanna know ;)” connects Big Sean with British R&B auteur Clara La San. Comedian Mandal opens the album. Swiss accordion phenom Anatole Muster closes it.

Earlier this week, BNYX dropped “fuëgo,” bringing together Peso Pluma, Yeat, and Argentine producer Bizarrap over a fiery, futuristic cut with an official music video already streaming. The Los Angeles Times described ‘GENESIS FM’ as a place where European dance music rhythms collide with contemporary hip-hop deliveries and progressive metal bass undertones, as if they were always meant to coalesce.

BNYX’s production resume is staggering. He’s spent 7 weeks at number 1 on Billboard’s Top Rap Producers chart, 7 weeks at number 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Producers chart, and has earned the “Best Hip-Hop Producer Alive” designation from Complex. Recent credits include 7 songs on Yeat’s ADL, 3 on Don Toliver’s Billboard 200-topping ‘Octane,’ and 2 on ‘Strictly 4 the Scythe,’ the debut from Denzel Curry’s supergroup The Scythe. His ‘GENESIS FM’ track “OVERLOADDD” is also the new theme song for X Games League.

This summer, BNYX hits the road supporting Yeat on The LOVE/LYFE Tour, with dates running from July through August across Minneapolis, Toronto, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, and San Diego.

‘GENESIS FM’ Tracklist:

  1. “GENESIS FM” feat. Mandal
  2. “HunchO STEP!” feat. Quavo
  3. “squEEze !i” feat. Lancey Foux
  4. “luv yoU right” feat. Chromeo, Immanuel Wilkins

Gracie Abrams Drops “Hit the Wall” and Announces Third Album ‘Daughter from Hell’

Gracie Abrams Drops “Hit the Wall” and Announces Third Album ‘Daughter from Hell’

Gracie Abrams has released “Hit the Wall,” the lead single from her forthcoming third studio album ‘Daughter from Hell,’ arriving July 17 via Interscope Records. The track is out now alongside an official video directed by Renell Medrano, stripped back, shadow-drenched, and loaded with symbolic imagery that offers a deliberately cryptic look at what’s ahead.

‘Daughter from Hell’ was written and produced by Abrams alongside Aaron Dessner, arriving 2 years after her sophomore album ‘The Secret of Us.’ That record set a high bar. It debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, hit number 1 in the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands, and produced “Close to You,” her first solo Billboard Hot 100 entry, and “That’s So True,” which climbed to number 6 on the Hot 100 and surpassed 1.5 billion streams on Spotify.

Abrams has built this trajectory steadily and on her own terms. Her debut album ‘Good Riddance’ (2023) earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The follow-up “us.” featuring Taylor Swift earned her a second Grammy nod, this time for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. She spent 2024 on ‘The Secret of Us’ world tour and 2025 on her first solo North American arena run.

The music video for “Hit the Wall” places a surrealist lens on Abrams’ inner world. Directed by Renell Medrano, it’s an intentional visual statement, one that signals a clear shift in tone and creative direction heading into this new chapter.

Beyond music, Abrams has been named a house ambassador for Chanel, fronting the brand’s Spring-Summer 2025 Pre-Collection campaign and appearing as a muse for its COCO CRUSH collection. She’s also set to make her acting debut in the upcoming A24 film Please.

Primus Drop ‘A Handful of Nuggs’ EP and Launch a Summer Tour With Three Claypool Projects

Primus Drop ‘A Handful of Nuggs’ EP and Launch a Summer Tour With Three Claypool Projects

Primus have announced ‘A Handful of Nuggs,’ a 4-track EP streaming now digitally, with a special-edition 12-inch vinyl arriving July 22 via ATO Records. Leading the release is “The Ol’ Grizz,” one of the first new studio recordings to feature drummer John Hoffman, and it announces his presence emphatically. Les Claypool, Larry LaLonde, and Hoffman lock into the kind of twisted rhythmic chemistry that has always defined this band, high-speed bass runs, warped psychedelic textures, and explosive percussion firing on all cylinders.

The EP doesn’t stop there. ‘A Handful of Nuggs’ also includes Primus’ cover of Dio’s “Holy Diver,” sung by Puddles Pity Party, the fan-favorite “Little Lord Fentanyl” featuring Maynard James Keenan, and a live recording of “Duchess (And The Proverbial Mind Spread)” captured at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia.

This lands in the middle of a particularly busy stretch for Claypool. Today also marks the CD release of The Claypool Lennon Delirium’s ‘The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy,’ a sprawling 14-song concept album with Sean Ono Lennon exploring A.I., empathy, mortality, free will, and the dangers of optimization without human feeling. The CD edition arrives in an enlarged gatefold seven-inch jacket, complete with a 24-page companion comic created with longtime collaborator Rich Ragsdale.

A new animated video piece for the Delirium project also just dropped, featuring actor, comedian, and musician Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows, Toast of London), with animation by Ragsdale. It’s another sharp, surreal entry into the project’s visual world.

On May 22, Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade releases ‘Return Of The Live Frogs: Volume 1,’ a live collection capturing the band’s expansive, improvisational spirit across more than 2 decades of adventurous performances.

Next week, all 3 projects converge for the Claypool Gold Tour, a full-evening summer run bringing Primus, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade together under one roof. The coast-to-coast run kicks off May 20 in Reno, NV and runs through July 4 in Napa, CA. Seeing Claypool move through 3 distinct corners of his musical universe in a single night is a rare thing.

‘A Handful of Nuggs’ Tracklist:

  1. The Ol’ Grizz
  2. Holy Diver (feat. Puddles Pity Party)
  3. Little Lord Fentanyl (feat. Puscifer)
  4. Duchess (And The Proverbial Mind Spread) (Live from the Mann Music Center, Philadelphia, PA)

Little Big Town’s “Hey There Sunshine” Marks a Powerful Return After Two Years Away

Little Big Town’s “Hey There Sunshine” Marks a Powerful Return After Two Years Away

25 years in, multiple Grammys, CMAs, ACMs, and an Emmy to their name, and Little Big Town still know how to make an entrance. The country quartet has released “Hey There Sunshine” via MCA, their first new music in 2 years. It’s out now on all DSPs, with an official music video already streaming.

Hey There Sunshine” arrives from a place of real emotional honesty. Produced by Karen Fairchild and Gena Johnson (Jason Isbell, Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile), the song captures the quiet, powerful moment when healing begins, emerging from heaviness into hope, peace, and self-acceptance. The music video was directed by Becky Fluke and Reid Long (Eric Church, Brothers Osborne, The Black Keys).

Fairchild speaks to what the song means to the group. “Songs are truly the most profound gifts,” she says. “We’re honored this one found its way to us. It’s a reminder of all the beauty around us and that it’s never too late to find it.” The track delivers exactly what that sentiment promises, unhurried, warm, and deeply felt.

Little Big Town will debut “Hey There Sunshine” live this Sunday, May 17, at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The show streams live at 8 pm EDT and 5 pm PDT on Prime Video and Twitch.

The group’s catalog speaks for itself. “Boondocks,” “Pontoon,” “Tornado,” “Day Drinking,” and “Girl Crush,” the best-selling country single of 2015, are all part of a run that few acts in any genre can match. Albums like ‘Tornado,’ ‘PainKiller,’ ‘The Breaker’ (which debuted at number 1 and featured the Grammy-winning “Better Man”), ‘Nightfall,’ and ‘Mr. Sun’ have produced multiple number 1 singles and more than 20 major award wins across more than 45 nominations.

“Hey There Sunshine” is out now, and if this is the opening statement of what comes next, there’s plenty more worth watching for.

Mötley Crüe are 45 years in and showing absolutely no signs of slowing down.

Global Merchandising Services will preview the collection at its booth (B170) at the upcoming Licensing Expo.

On the vinyl front, the rock legends recently announced ‘Crücial Crüe 1981 – 1989,’ a new five-album box set arriving July 10 via BMG. The package includes the band’s first 5 albums as limited edition picture discs on both CD and LP. An ultra-limited Crüeseum Exclusive edition, featuring a reverse color out box, is limited to 250 hand-numbered units.

Also incoming is ‘Crüe 45 RPM – The Singles Collection,’ an ultra-limited, hand-numbered, foil-packaged series of 10-inch vinyl available exclusively at the Crüeseum. Details are still forthcoming. Adding further significance to the year, the original 1981 Leathür Records version of their debut ‘Too Fast For Love’ also turns 45 in 2026.

This summer, Mötley Crüe head back out on the road for “The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins Tour,” their first extensive touring in 2 years. The 35-city North American run spanning July, August, and September marks the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2006 “Carnival Of Sins Tour,” with a reimagined show and updated setlist. One dollar from every ticket sold goes to ASAP! (After School Arts Program) through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative, supporting students with hands-on music and arts programming.

Mötley Crüe just keeps delivering for their fans, and 2026 is shaping up to be one of their biggest years in recent memory.

Chance the Rapper’s ‘Coloring Book’ Turns 10 and He’s Taking the Anniversary on the Road

Ten years ago, Chance the Rapper changed the rules. ‘Coloring Book,’ released in May 2016, became the first streaming-only project to win a Grammy Award, and it did so on Chance’s own terms, independent, community-driven, and completely his own. Now he’s marking the milestone with The Coloring Book 10 Tour, a massive North American run launching August 11 in Cleveland and wrapping October 11 in Pittsburgh.

The mixtape that sparked it all blended gospel, hip-hop, and soulful live instrumentation into something that felt genuinely joyful and unlike anything else in the conversation at the time. Collaborators on the project included Justin Bieber, Kirk Franklin, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, T-Pain, and Saba, with production from Kaytranada, Brasstracks, and Francis and the Lights, alongside longtime creative partners Nico Segal, Peter Cottontale, and The Social Experiment.

The tour hits more than 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada, with stops at New York’s SummerStage Central Park, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, the Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park in Austin, Seattle’s Paramount Theatre, and Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, among many others. It’s a full coast-to-coast celebration of an album that still resonates a decade on.

Presales open May 19, with general on-sale beginning May 21 at 10 am local time. VIP packages are available. Full details and tickets at chancetherapper.com.

The Revivalists Drop “Razorblades and Runways” and Announce ‘Get It Honest’ Tour

The Revivalists Drop “Razorblades and Runways” and Announce ‘Get It Honest’ Tour

The Revivalists have a lot going on right now, and all of it is worth paying attention to. The RIAA Multi-Platinum-certified New Orleans outfit has shared “Razorblades and Runways,” a bittersweet, soft-soul new single via Concord Records, and it’s one of the most personal things frontman David Shaw has put to tape. The track is out now, with the full album ‘Get It Honest’ arriving July 24.

Shaw doesn’t dress it up. “Looking back, I spent years chasing thrills fueled by ego,” he says. “Now I get to pursue my craft with the same passion, but instead the thing that drives me is my family, my wife, my daughter, my friends, and Ricky Peach, my cat who gets a nod in this tune.” That kind of specificity is exactly what makes “Razorblades and Runways” land the way it does, warm, reflective, and completely sincere.

The single follows “Heart Stop,” the album’s colossal opening track, currently sitting at number 21 on the Triple A radio chart. Co-written by Shaw with 3x Grammy-nominated New Orleans musician Andriu “Yàno” Yanovski and drummer PJ Howard, the track comes with a music video directed by Caroline Iaffaldano, shot entirely through a first-person-view helmet cam inside an iconic New Orleans shotgun house, featuring dancer Malerie Dempster.

‘Get It Honest’ is The Revivalists’ sixth studio album and their first all-new full-length in over 3 years. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Rich Costey (Vampire Weekend, Foo Fighters, Death Cab for Cutie) at Vermont’s Guilford Sound, the 12-track collection finds a band that has fully settled into who they are. With 7 of 8 members now fathers, the record is built around cutting loose what drags you down and holding tight to what keeps you going.

“To me, this album is about understanding this point and learning to work with it like a potter works the clay,” Shaw reflects. “Our flaws and imperfections are what ultimately make us human and beautiful.” Songs like “Lost and Found” and the title track carry that realization forward with real emotional weight.

The Get It Honest Tour launches July 14 with 2 sold-out nights at Nantucket’s Chicken Box and runs through November. Highlights include the “Opry 100” celebration at the Grand Ole Opry on May 22, a FIFA Fan Festival appearance in Vancouver on June 11, a record-release weekend headline set at David Shaw’s Big River Get Down on July 25, a run supporting The Red Clay Strays including Madison Square Garden on August 9, and their annual return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on September 25.

The band has also partnered with Concerted on an “honest ticket” program, offering free tickets to fans who complete 2 hours of community service. Additionally, The Revivalists are setting sail November 3-7 from Miami to Nassau aboard Norwegian Jewel for The Revivalists Present Otherside of Paradise at Sea. Vinyl pre-orders and pre-saves for ‘Get It Honest’ are live now at therevivalists.com.
