Maddie Lenhart Releases Heartbreaking “Will You Think About Me” That Captures The Ache Of Letting Go
Country artist Maddie Lenhart releases new single “Will You Think About Me,” capturing the ache of letting go of someone you still love by blending classic country storytelling with cinematic emotion that begins with quiet resignation and builds to a chorus full of vulnerable longing. Lenhart explains the song is an honest, conversational moment that lives in the quiet ache of letting go, the kind of track that hits hardest in the stillness as an unspoken question we’re often too afraid to ask.
Born and raised in the heart of Virginia’s countryside where she was singing before she could talk and writing songs before she could hold a pen, Lenhart performed at every talent show she could find around her small town before graduating college in the Blue Ridge Mountains and following her heart to Nashville. Holler describes her work as perfect for anyone with a soft spot for Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Deeper Well,’ finding soul soothing, deeply personal songwriting that’s heartfelt, dreamy and vulnerable, the kind of warm and comforting country songs you’ll want to turn to like a best friend when the world gets too much.
The COVID-19 pandemic became a turning point prompting her to commit to writing and creating music full time, immersing herself in Nashville’s songwriting community and sharing her story one song at a time on stages across the city.
Since releasing her debut single in September 2023, Maddie’s career has taken off with her breakout track “Sober” racking up nearly 400,000 organic streams and earning praise for her raw lyricism and magnetic voice, headlining with her band at The Basement, playing fan favorite sets at The East Room and Bowery Vault, selling out rounds at both the Listening Room Cafe and the iconic Bluebird Cafe, and most recently returning home for a sold out show at The Barns at Wolf Trap in Vienna.
DJs From Mars Team With David Guetta To Rework Audio Bullys Classic “We Don’t Care” Into Festival Ready Banger
Italian duo DJs From Mars made a slice of their own dance music history collaborating with former 4x World No.1 DJ David Guetta and legendary British electronic outfit Audio Bullys on a brand new track after years of working together behind the scenes. Titled “Things I Haven’t Told You,” the song is an explosive rework of Audio Bullys’ classic “We Don’t Care” which originally peaked at number 15 on the UK charts in 2003, now getting an official release this August via Spinnin’ Records. The idea was born directly from David Guetta who invited DJs From Mars, renowned for their mash up prowess, to reinvent the track with a modern, festival ready UK garage twist that delivers serious punch.
The very first demo hit the mark immediately, tested in both artists’ live sets where it received overwhelming crowd reactions and quickly became one of Guetta’s most powerful secret weapons this summer. DJs From Mars share that working with David on this project is a dream come true, explaining that after so many years of backstage collaborations, seeing their name alongside his on an official release fills them with pride. They poured all their energy into this track and it’s been incredible watching it come alive on the world’s biggest festival stages, proving their chemistry translates perfectly from the studio to massive crowds.
Sons of Sevilla Drop “Street Light Moon” Produced By Black Pumas’ Adrian Quesada
UK based duo Sons of Sevilla released “Street Light Moon,” an eclectic piece that paints the tripped out picture of a nighttime sky whose moon has been replaced by a burning street light, marking the second single and title track from their upcoming album produced by Grammy winning Adrian Quesada of Black Pumas. Brothers Henry and Reuben Smith blend studio craft with raw live demos on the track, including an unrepeatable moment of Henry using an old glass bottle as a slide on his guitar while at sea.
Recorded at Electric Deluxe Recorders, the Austin area studio and gear head’s paradise where Adrian Quesada’s Black Pumas cut their acclaimed records, the sessions were enriched with snippets from the brothers’ homemade demos whose raw, irreplaceable sound was too vital to be left out of the final recordings. Henry didn’t have a slide when they were on the boat so he had to use an old glass bottle, creating a twang thanks to the bumps on the bottle that they couldn’t replicate in the studio, so they kept it. The band draws from a world’s worth of influences including the family owned British pub where they grew up watching their parents sling drinks as songs by John Prine and J.J. Cale played over the speakers, the marina in Gibraltar where they spent three weeks aboard an old fishing trawler writing the album’s songs as waves splashed against the dock, and the recording studio in Austin where they worked with Quesada and a small group of instrumentalists.
Raised on the outskirts of Leeds, Henry and Reuben spent countless hours in their parents’ taproom as pre teens, getting a musical education through songs by Buena Vista Social Club, Bob Dylan, Terry Reid, Neil Young and Gene Clark. The summer months offered a different sort of education with the family leaving their hometown of Featherstone and heading to the Spanish city of Sevilla, which inspired the band’s name when they began recording their debut album. Their second studio album reintroduces Henry and Reuben as sharp songwriters and musical mood setters who’re every bit as compelling as their world renowned producer, with an expanded toolkit, a growing list of collaborators and a widened musical reach that finds Sons of Sevilla setting sail for new waters and landing at a sound entirely of the band’s making.
Robert Finley Announces Gospel Infused ‘Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya’ Recorded In One Divine Day
North Louisiana singer songwriter Robert Finley announced his eagerly awaited new album ‘Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya’ arriving via Easy Eye Sound on October 10, and the record finds Bernice’s favorite son infusing sacred sounds of gospel into his already unique take on blues, soul and R&B. Produced by longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach at his Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville, Finley’s fourth album for the label came together with startling speed, fully improvised and tracked in a single furiously fruitful day.
Backed by an all star combo featuring Auerbach and fellow guitarist Barrie Cadogan from Little Barrie, Primal Scream and The The, drummer Malcolm Catto from The Heliocentrics who’s worked with Madlib and DJ Shadow, bassist Tommy Brenneck and keyboardist Ray Jacildo, plus call and response vocal support from his daughter singer Christy Johnson, the album sparked divinely inspired creativity.
The deeply spiritual new single “Helping Hand” is available now, hailed by FLOOD for its simmering ’70s psych funk guitar melodies, hand percussion and stirring vocals, joined by an official music video directed by filmmaker Tim Hardiman who’s worked with John Anderson and Blake Shelton. Finley shares that making a gospel record was the first thing he ever wanted to do, explaining he’s had at least one gospel song on each album and even did one on America’s Got Talent where people were in tears despite someone questioning if it was the right crowd. Auerbach explains that back in the day when Robert played for tips he’d ask people questions and improvise songs on the spot, and choosing that direction for this album where everything was improvised, played, sung and written off the cuff allowed the spirit to move through Finley’s creative process.

They’re continuing on the road to promote the new album with dates this month alongside Volbeat before heading out on a co headline tour with Lindsey Stirling running September through October, proving they’re not slowing down anytime soon and bringing this record to every corner of the globe with the fire and intensity fans have come to expect from one of rock’s most electrifying live acts.
Annie Bosko Serves Up Coastal Break Up Anthem “Tequila Time” With Latin Flair
Rising singer songwriter Annie Bosko released “Tequila Time,” a coastal break up anthem available now via QHMG/Stone Country Records as she continues building to her forthcoming debut LP. The California native partnered with Codigo 1530 to bring the song’s spirit to life, featured in the “Tequila Time” visualizer that perfectly captures the track’s vibe. Bosko shares she wanted to explore adding Latin influences into her music, explaining that growing up out West she’s always loved Latin culture and they were intentional about making this one feel like an escape to a beach in Mexico with accordion, maracas and a guiro.
Written by Bosko alongside David “Messy” Mescon and Bridgette Tatum, “Tequila Time” pairs a laid back groove with a dose of humor, turning a tough moment into a reminder that sometimes the best course of action is to let go. Bosko hopes this song brings a smile and maybe a toast to anyone who’s been there, acknowledging that many of us have needed a little liquid courage to get through tough times and this track delivers exactly that kind of relief with style and heart.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Drop “X’s For Eyes” And Reunite Dream Team For New Album
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus released “X’s For Eyes,” the second single from their album ‘X’s For Eyes’ out now via Better Noise Music, and the guitars hit hard while the melody soars and the rhythm jumps fast in this riveting song that extends a helping hand to someone living close to the edge. Lead vocalist, guitarist and founding member Ronnie Winter digs in deep with his signature wide ranging voice, delivering powerful lyrics about choosing happiness over being right and taking control before it’s too late. The album marks the first full length from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus as part of a new partnership with Better Noise Music, featuring vocalist Ronnie Winter, his multi instrumentalist brother Randy Winter, guitarist Josh Burke, bassist Joey Westwood, drummer John Espy, keyboardist Nadeem Salam and newest member K Enagonio on vocals. Winter reteamed with producer and songwriter Matt Squire who’s worked with Panic! at the Disco, Metallica and Good Charlotte for the title track, following their collaboration on “Slipping Through (No Kings)” that came out June 27.
Winter reveals what’s really exciting is they basically rebuilt the same team for ‘X’s For Eyes’ that they had when they made ‘DON’T YOU FAKE IT,’ with many people who were behind the scenes nearly 20 years ago working on things like mixing, track sequencing and artwork coming back together. The reunion feels perfect, and fans of ‘DON’T YOU FAKE IT’ are going to love this album that truly has something for everyone including what became known as The Lost Songs, tracks from their original 2004 pre signing demo that didn’t make it onto ‘DON’T YOU FAKE IT.’ Fans have been asking for these songs for over 20 years and they’re being commercially released for the first time ever, making Winter feel like they were digging up something long buried and raising a zombie from the dead in the best possible way.
