Connecticut metalcore outfit Currents are thrilled to share the video for the new single ‘It Only Gets Darker’. It’s the first new music from the band since 2023’s critically acclaimed The Death We Seek.
“Embrace Darkness. Accept Fate. Surrender Yourself. and Feed the Flame. ‘It Only Gets Darker’ is now yours,” says singer Brian Wille. Have you embraced, accepted, and surrendered? You will be better for it once you do!
Today, 26-year-old “powerhouse vocalist” (People) Stella Cole releases her fresh take on the Carpenters’ “Merry Christmas, Darling” via Decca Records US. Following the release of It’s Magic (and enchanting TODAY Show performance), the Hollywood Reporter Person of Interest has worked again with master arranger Alan Broadbent and Grammy-winner Matt Pierson (Samara Joy, Brad Mehldau) to put her own timeless stamp on an American Songbook classic.
Just like Karen Carpenter’s original vocals, Stella’s performance of “Merry Christmas, Darling” conveys a wisdom and understanding well beyond her years. Originally written by Frank Pooler, later revamped by Richard Carpenter and sung with Karen Carpenter, the song reflects the joy and happiness of the holiday, yet with an underlying sadness: it isn’t Christmas if that special someone isn’t there.
With a voice that bridges generations, Stella Cole has cultivated over 1.7 million social media followers through her fresh interpretations of timeless songs by iconic artists, including Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Nat “King” Cole. Often described as a Laufey-meets-Bublé sensation, Cole brings a fresh interpretation of classic repertoire to a new generation, currently on tour across the country.
While she was raised in rural Illinois on Hollywood musicals like Singin’ in the Rain and The Wizard of Oz, Cole told ELLE that she “never expected this life,” earning praise for her soulful interpretations of the Great American Songbook from legends including James Taylor, David Foster, Michael Bublé, and Meghan Trainor. She’s performed on The TODAY Show, Live with Kelly and Mark, Tamron Hall, and stages from Carnegie Hall to Madison Square Garden.
Her interpretations of Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” and Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers” with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox added over ten million more views and streams to her list of accomplishments, along with collaborating with Tony Award-winning Darren Criss on her Snow! EP, following her full-length debut album Stella Cole in 2024.
Stella Cole is authentic and faithful to the traditions in which these songs have been heard for all these years, but with a personal charisma that transcends the generations

Stella Cole is a singularly gifted singer whose rise from a small town in Illinois to international acclaim exemplifies the power of timeless music meeting modern platforms. Born in 1999 and raised on Golden Age movie musicals, she went viral in 2020 with a spontaneous a cappella version of “Over the Rainbow” and has since become a leading voice of the Great American Songbook for a new generation. Her videos have amassed tens of millions of views and her social media following exceeds 1.7 million. A favorite of legends like David Foster, James Taylor, Michael Bublé, John Mayer, and Meghan Trainor, Stella has headlined sold-out shows around the world, performing at venues like Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Madison Square Garden, Birdland, and the Café Carlyle. In 2023, she toured globally with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, earning acclaim for her renditions of Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” and Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers.” Her third project, It’s Magic is a new album with Grammy-winning producer Matt Pierson and acclaimed arranger Alan Broadbent, out now via Decca Records US.
Lang Lang’s highly anticipated new album Piano Book 2 is released today, six years after the release of his celebrated 2019 Piano Book album. Released on digital and physical formats on Deutsche Grammophon, this new volume brings together iconic classical works, new contemporary pieces and themes from film and TV scores, anime, and video games. It offers 32 miniature masterpieces for all generations – spanning composers such as Bach, Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff to Tony Ann, Yu-Peng Chen, Ludovico Einaudi, and Joe Hisaishi. Also including music from Amélie, La La Land, and Naruto, viral sensation Rush E and many more. A brand-new performance video of Chopin’s Nocturne is also released today.
The critically acclaimed pianist celebrated the album’s release at a spectacular launch event in Beijing, China on 17 September, where he shared the creative inspiration behind Piano Book 2 and performed several pieces live for the first time. The event’s biggest surprise came when the iconic animated duo Tom and Jerry appeared on stage to pay tribute to Lang Lang, who had inspired his early childhood dreams of pursuing music. Their appearance perfectly embodied the educational mission at the heart of the Piano Book series — to inspire a love of the piano in audiences young and old. The Beijing launch also highlighted special collaborations on the album, which saw rising Chinese-Canadian pianist Tony Ann premiering an exclusive four-hand arrangement of his viral composition Icarus, performed alongside Lang Lang.
Building on the excitement from the launch event, Lang Lang went on to perform select pieces from his new album at the OPUS KLASSIK Gala on 12 October at Konzerthaus Berlin, where he also accepted the award for Bestseller of the Year for his 2024 album Saint-Saëns – broadcast on national television.
Lang Lang’s Piano Book has become his highest-streaming album to date, with over 1.2 billion streams worldwide, and remains one of the biggest-selling classical albums from 2019.
The release of Piano Book 2 is further proof of Lang Lang’s commitment to inspire pianists of all ages, levels and backgrounds, amplifying the message that classical music is for everyone. It continues the vision established by Piano Book, his efforts led by the Lang Lang International Music Foundation (LLIMF), and his engagement with the millions of fans who follow him on social media. The so-called “Lang Lang effect” has already encouraged tens of millions of children in China and beyond to learn the piano and other instruments, supported by the LLIMF’s unique educational programmes, masterclasses, mentoring schemes, and additional initiatives.
Lang Lang refers to the 32 tracks on his new album as “miniature masterpieces”. They were carefully selected based on messages from fans, school syllabus content, and his own teaching experience – as well as works especially close to his heart – with subtle nods to modern media and streaming culture.
There is something for everyone in Lang Lang’s latest thoughtfully curated anthology. He concludes a message to his fans by saying, “I hope this collection helps you discover new favourites, reconnect with familiar melodies, and find renewed inspiration at the piano.”
Piano Book 2 is available digitally and on 2 CD and 2 LP formats, including a marbled vinyl edition and CD/LP versions with signed art cards available from the DG Store. A limited-edition CD offers access to downloadable sheet music and select tutorials via an NFC chip. Additionally, Faber Music have released a publication to accompany the album, featuring the piano sheet music, photographs and commentary about the music from Lang Lang himself.
Lang Lang kicked off the 2025-26 season with tour dates in Canada/the USA and the UK in September 2025. He continues a string of shows in Germany (17 October-8 November), and will then be performing in France (11 November), returning to the USA (4-7 December), and Hong Kong (11/13 December).

C.F. Martin & Co. is proud to announce the release of five exciting new models that blend tradition with innovation and meet the needs of today’s diverse players. The launch includes a refreshed GPCE Inception Maple with a bold new gloss finish, the all-new non-cutaway GPE Inception Maple, two special X Series additions, and the SC-10E Spruce—a fresh take on Martin’s revolutionary SC design now joining the Road Series.
GPCE Inception Maple
Martin’s game-changing Inception Series gets a visual and tonal upgrade with the refreshed GPCE Inception Maple. Now featuring a full-body gloss amber fade sunburst finish, this model blends cutting-edge acoustic design with FSC-certified tonewoods. A European spruce top delivers bold projection and quick response, while flamed maple back and sides provide clarity and brightness, all balanced by a black walnut wedge. Skeletonized bracing and sonic channeling—purpose-built for this tonewood pairing—enhance both sustain and amplitude. With premium appointments like a satin black walnut neck, FSC-certified ebony fingerboard and bridge, and LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the GPCE Inception Maple proves that sustainability, innovation, and striking aesthetics can coexist in perfect harmony.
GPE Inception Maple
Also debuting is the GPE Inception Maple, which brings a non-cutaway Grand Performance shape to the Inception Series for the first time. Players will enjoy the same striking tonewood pairing, premium appointments, and Martin’s innovative bracing as the GPCE model—but with a full-body design for those who prefer a more traditional silhouette. It offers a crisp, balanced tone that’s effortlessly expressive, with the added visual punch and presence of its new gloss finish. Paired with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, this model delivers a truly dynamic and versatile acoustic-electric experience.
GP-X2E Ziricote Special
Expanding the X Series lineup is the GP-X2E Ziricote Special, a limited-time Grand Performance model that blends bold tone with player-focused features. With a solid sapele top and ziricote-patterned high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides, this guitar is durable, stylish, and responsive. The Performing Artist neck profile and high-performance taper ensure smooth playability, while Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner give you full control on stage or at home. It’s an affordable, road-ready companion for players of all levels.
OMC-X2E Ziricote Special
Also new to the X Series is the OMC-X2E Ziricote Special, offering the comfort of a 000 body with a 25.4″ scale length for greater projection and sustain. Its cutaway design allows easy upper fret access, and like its Grand Performance sibling, it features a solid sapele top, ziricote-patterned HPL back and sides, and Martin E1 electronics with onboard tuning. This versatile model is ideal for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone looking for rich tone in a sleek, stage-ready package.
SC-10E Spruce
Rounding out this launch is the SC-10E Spruce, a new addition to Martin’s Road Series that brings the revolutionary SC body shape to even more players. With its patented Sure Align neck system and Low Profile Velocity neck, it offers unmatched comfort and unrestricted access to every fret. The solid spruce top paired with solid sapele back and sides creates a balanced, dynamic voice that excels in any genre. Finished with Martin E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, this is a modern acoustic-electric built for the stage, studio, or wherever the music takes you.

Today, global electronic music icon Alesso joins forces with London-based singer – songwriter, SACHA, to release their captivating new collaborative single, “Destiny,” out now on Capitol Records. The track represents the convergence of Alesso’s masterful production, marking another elite addition to his catalog of era-defining dance anthems. With SACHA’s emotive vocals soaring over Alesso’s signature progressive house production, “Destiny” builds from an intimate verse into a breathtaking, festival-ready chorus.
“SACHA’s voice has an undeniable soul and texture that grabs you instantly. The journey began the moment I heard her demo and I knew right then I wanted to be part of it. Working together and blending our sounds has been nothing short of inspiring.” – Alesso
“Collaborating with Alesso has been an incredible experience. I have long admired his work, and his early songs were often a source of inspiration when defining my own sound. When I wrote ‘Destiny,’ I envisioned a production that balanced nostalgia with a modern edge, and Alesso was the ideal partner to realize that vision. His production not only exceeded expectations but perfectly captured the timeless energy I was aiming for, while elevating it with a fresh twist that is next level.” – SACHA
This new anthem follows a series of standout releases from Alesso this year, including his collaboration “Surrender” with Becky Hill and “Inside Our Hearts” with Martin Garrix. He also made history as the first international recording artist in Billboard Dance Radio chart history to achieve two #1 hits with two different songs in consecutive weeks. His chart-topping singles include “I Like It” with country star Nate Smith and “Never Going Home Tonight” with David Guetta.
Now, with “Destiny,” Alesso continues to shape what mainstage electronic music sounds like in this era while highlighting SACHA as the powerhouse vocalist she is. Together, they deliver a defining moment and continue to reinforce why this sound remains a gold standard. As festival season concludes, Alesso caps off a major run of performances from this year. He headlined Ultra Music Festival in March, and performed a 3-hour back to back set with Gorgon City at Coachella Music Festival on the Quasar stage under the theme of his Body Hi concept. He also headlined Insomniac’s EDC Las Vegas and continued his residency with TAO Hospitality Group in Las Vegas. With Halloween on the horizon, listeners can plan to catch Alesso at Insomniac’s Escape Halloween festival. More information can be found HERE.
Alesso continues to cement his status as not only a leader in dance music, but also a household name in the global scene — the past few years have seen him make history as the first international recording artist in Billboard Dance Radio chart history to achieve two #1 hits with two different songs in consecutive weeks, launch his own label, BodyHi, and gain unprecedented critical acclaim, most recently appearing on the cover of PAPER Magazine. The sensation kicked off 2025 with his chart-topping collaboration with Becky Hill, “Surrender”, followed by his smash-hit with Martin Garrix, “Inside Our Hearts”, and most recently, his hit with Sentinel and Sick Individuals, “Upside Down.” This year, Alesso has also made appearances on some of the world’s most sought after festival stages, including Ultra Music Festival, where he brought out Nadia Ali for her first live performance in over a decade, as well as Coachella, where he played an unforgettable back-to-back special set with Gorgon City at the Quasar stage during weekend 2, and a highly anticipated set at EDC Las Vegas on the Kinetic Field mainstage. 2025 has also seen Alesso take the stage alongside GRAMMY-nominated cellist, Tina Gou to perform their euphoric remix of ‘Ascension’ at the Esports World Cup Opening Ceremony, headlined by 9x diamond-certified artist Post Malone. Alesso continually pushes the boundaries with his ever-evolving sound, proving that his impact will remain as timeless as his music for generations to come.
SACHA is a Scottish-born artist and songwriter based in London, quickly emerging as one of the most exciting new voices in global dance music. Known for her vibrant hooks and instantly recognizable vocal tone, she’s helping shape the sound of modern electronic dance music – earning over 100 million streams worldwide in the process. Following her latest features with Armin Van Buuren, Casso & Sigma, SACHA continues to build an impressive catalog of collaborations with Joel Corry & Nathan Dawe, Gryffin,
Toby Romeo, Keanu Silva,and OwnBoss. As a sought-after songwriter, she has also penned standout cuts for Anyma, Kaskade, and Steve Aoki, with even more major releases on the horizon. Fall 2025 will see her featured on more high-profile collaborations and live performances –further cementing her status as a driving force in the global dance scene.
R&B’s freshly-coronated diva makes her return now…
Multi-GRAMMY Award-winning R&B superstar, songwriter, and creative visionary Muni Long turns the page on her next chapter today with the release of new single “Delulu” out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE.
The song itself marks a sonic evolution. Eighties-style keys accent the soulful drip of a throwback beat. Finger-snaps hold the tempo in place, but Muni doesn’t rush to keep up. Instead, she delivers the verses with confidence and clarity, leaning into the production and absorbing its energy. Throughout “Delulu,” she wrestles with relationship expectations. Succumbing under the weight of her emotions, she confesses on the chorus, “I’m delusional thinking I could have it all,” going on to add, “I’m delulu, delulu over you.”
Within the last two years, she took home a 2023 GRAMMY Award in the category of “Best R&B Performance” for “Hrs & Hrs” and another “Best R&B Performance” GRAMMY Award in 2025 for “Made for Me (Live on BET).” During the most recent ceremony, she stood out as the “most-nominated artist in the R&B genre” with a total of four nods in key categories. Back in April, she transformed the desert into her very own world with an unforgettable Coachella debut summed up succinctly by ELLE who raved, “Long’s performance and wardrobe were divine.” 2025 also saw her drop “Slow Grind,” which garnered millions of stream and praise from critics alike.
Of course, her epic 2024 album, Revenge, kickstarted this entire season, tallying nearly a billion streams, housing the multiplatinum “Made for Me,” and earning unanimous acclaim. Associated Press noted, “As R&B has experienced a mainstream resurgence, Long is recognized as one of the genre’s flagbearers fueling its comeback.” Billboard raved, “From start to finish, Revenge brims with frank, raw emotion and relatable scenarios.”
It’s just the beginning though. Get ready for more from Muni Long!
