TORONTO, CANADA – The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue opens exclusively in theatres across North America today, October 3, 2025. To purchase tickets, go here.
Directed by acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue tells the extraordinary true story of retired Israeli general Noam Tibon, who on October 7, 2023, received a desperate text from his son: terrorists had stormed his home, and he, his wife, and their two young daughters feared for their lives. With no time to spare, Tibon embarked on a ten-hour mission across a country under siege to save his family.
Relying on instinct and military training, Tibon navigated ambushes, roadblocks, and a collapsing security system in a relentless race against time. Blending intimate firsthand testimony with the raw urgency of a survival thriller, the film retraces every step of that harrowing day.
Set against the backdrop of one of Israel’s darkest days, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue is both a gripping retelling of an extraordinary rescue and an unflinching look at the failures and resilience revealed on October 7. At its heart, it is a profoundly human story about courage, family, and the power of love in the face of unimaginable terror.
Barry Avrich, Director, says, “When I first heard Noam’s story, I knew it was not just a story of one man’s courage, but of family, resilience, and the choices we make in the face of terror. This film retraces an extraordinary day but also reflects the broader human capacity for bravery and love in the darkest of moments. I am honored to share this story with audiences across North America and grateful to our partners who believed in its importance from the very beginning.”
This release is also being supported by The Impact Series, a social-issue–focused organization committed to using film as a catalyst for awareness and action.
In Colombia, the sound of success for female artists is unmistakable, and much of that success is fueled by female fans. According to Spotify data, 58% of listeners of female artists in the country are women, highlighting a vibrant ecosystem where women are championing and elevating one another.
And the momentum is clear: Over the past five years, streams of female artists in Colombia have increased fivefold, while the catalog of songs by Colombian women has grown by 36%. The impact goes far beyond national borders. Globally, Colombian female artists have seen their streams grow 170 times in the last decade, cementing their status as cultural exports who are captivating audiences worldwide.
This remarkable growth reflects a changing industry. As Mia Nygren, Managing Director for Latin America at Spotify, notes: “The industry has evolved greatly in the decade Spotify has been in Latin America, and women’s roles have shifted as well. The numbers reflect this—not only in streams, but also in royalties. Still, they know there’s much more to be done, and that’s why we continue creating spaces and initiatives to promote and spotlight women in music.”
Empowerment Days: Building community in Bogotá
To fuel this momentum and address ongoing challenges, Spotify recently brought these milestones and conversations to the forefront at the third edition of Empowerment Days at Casa Spotify Bogotá. Designed by and for women in the music industry, the event is a cornerstone of Spotify’s global EQUAL initiative. EQUAL, which champions women artists and creators both on- and off-platform, has supported more than 1,200 ambassadors worldwide.
Across two days, managers, producers, artists, and creators gathered to share advice and reflect on the unique challenges women face in music. A highlight was a panel featuring Mia, manager Rebeca León, and singer-songwriter ELENA ROSE, who discussed topics like education, independence, and the importance of financial literacy.
“Education is my top recommendation,” advised ELENA ROSE. “Be across everything, read what you sign, understand every meeting. That way, you’ll avoid mistakes other artists have made.”
León echoed this sentiment, stating, “We need to talk about and understand money. It’s not all about shows or performances. Every creative idea should generate income so you can make a living doing what you love.”
A movement in motion
Empowerment Days wasn’t just about powerful dialogue; it was also a celebration of talent. Alongside the conversations, the event pulsed with live music as EQUAL artists Ysa C, Delfina Dib, and ELENA ROSE took the stage, reinforcing the spirit and energy behind this movement.
And this is just the beginning. Spotify remains committed to fostering and amplifying the voices of women who are not just participating in, but actively shaping, the future of music in Colombia and around the world.

Personalization is at the heart of Spotify. When you ask listeners what they love most about Spotify, more than 81% cite their personalization, and they’re always evolving to help you create a listening journey that’s uniquely yours. Starting today, you can exclude individual tracks from your Taste Profile, in addition to playlists.
Your Taste Profile is Spotify’s interpretation of your taste, based on what you listen to and how you listen to it. It helps inform your recommendations, from Discover Weekly to your Home page, and personalizes experiences like Wrapped and Blend.
Excluding a track will lessen the impact of both past and future streams of that song on your recommendations, so your “just for the moment” listening doesn’t end up skewing your Spotify experience.
You’ve already been able to exclude select playlists from your Taste Profile, and now you can do the same for any track, whether it’s a calming sleep sound, your kids’ go-to song, or a one-off listen that doesn’t fit your usual vibe.
How to exclude a track from your Taste Profile
This feature is available now for Free and Premium users globally on web, desktop, iOS, and Android. Here’s how it works for individual tracks and playlists:
Select the track or playlist you want to exclude.
Tap the three dots in the top-right corner of your screen.
Choose “Exclude from your Taste Profile” (or “Include in your Taste Profile” to add it back later).
With more control over your Taste Profile, your recommendations and personalized features can stay true to your unique musical taste, even if your listening habits sometimes take a detour. Spotify’s recommendations will keep evolving with you so your listening experience stays fresh and personal.

With The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor continues to set the standard not just in streaming, but in how artists connect with fans around the world.
Rising Nashville star named Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year Carter Faith shares her highly anticipated debut album, Cherry Valley, via Gatsby Records/MCA today—stream/purchase here.
Reflecting on the debut project, Carter shares, “It feels surreal to say that Cherry Valley is finally out into the world. Me and everyone who have worked on this record have truly put our entire hearts into this music and creative. I feel like Cherry Valley has brought magic into my life, I love this album and am proud that it is my debut record.”
Carter also shares the official music video for “Betty” today.
The release follows news of Carter’s forthcoming acting debut, as she’s set to star alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain in Netflix’s upcoming film Heartland. It also comes after a string of previously unveiled album singles including “Bar Star,” accompanied by a music video starring Academy Award-winner Billy Bob Thornton, which debuted to enthusiastic acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard and Entertainment Tonight.
Cherry Valley is a document of Carter’s time in Nashville, working chronologically through her breakout successes and gut-punching breakups, new loves and family dustups. It’s named for an imagined place, a road sign Carter once saw that came to signify her creative home, a sweet spot where her old school influences like Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, Pet Sounds and Revolver meet today’s country. The album synthesizes all that into a signature Carter Faith sound.
The songs on Cherry Valley span Carter’s journey from her North Carolina hometown to Nashville, with all the heartbreak, triumph and hazy nights in between. Carter and longtime producer Tofer Brown spent two years crafting tracks for the album before finally entering the studio in 2024 to lay it down. All the while, Carter was working relentlessly to climb the ranks of country music, signing to MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, gracing the Opry stage a dozen times, sharing stages with idols like Willie Nelson, and racking up hundreds of millions of streams.
Following her Stagecoach debut and runs with Ella Langley and Carly Pearce, Carter joined Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild on the stage of the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors for a duet of “Lies Lies Lies” written by ACM Songwriter of the Year, Jessie Jo Dillon. Carter is currently on the road as part of Noah Cyrus’ extensive I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me tour and will finish off the year supporting Kelsea Ballerini this winter.

Today, GRAMMY-winning global recording artist Kali Uchis releases Sincerely: P.S., the deluxe version of acclaimed fifth studio album Sincerely. Out now via Capitol Records, the expanded set adds five songs to the tracklist of her most personal project yet, including dreamy new single “Pretty Promises” featuring Mariah The Scientist.
Last weekend, Uchis’ brought her biggest tour yet to a grand finale at The Intuit Dome in Los Angeles — a full-circle moment after kicking off The Sincerely, Tour with back-to-back sold-out shows at the nearby Kia Forum. With each stop (which included two nights at Madison Square Garden as well) she took the audience on a multi-phase journey beginning with Sincerely, and traveling back in time through every one of her critically adored albums. She’s also brought out special guest performers along the way, including Peso Pluma, Tyler the Creator, SZA, Steve Lacy, JT, Rauw Alejandro, and Ravyn Lenae. In Atlanta, Mariah The Scientist joined to perform their recent team-up for her album, “Is It a Crime,” before she and Uchis previewed “Pretty Promises,”.
“Pretty Promises” is the second in a pair of duets exclusive to Sincerely: P.S. — Uchis announced the album last month alongside new song “Cry about it!” featuring Rayvyn Lenae. The duo then performed the bilingual cut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, bringing its lush, modern doo-wop to life on a set designed to look like the inside of a ballerina jewelry box.
Written and executive-produced by Uchis — and arriving after her becoming a mother — Sincerely, is her most intimate work to date. A testament to the curative power of deep love, and a stunning representation of the way Uchis romanticizes life, the album hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and includes the singles “All I Can Say,” “Sunshine & Rain…,” and “ILYSMIH.” Rolling Stone called the set “a vulnerable meditation on motherhood and memory, adding, “It’s all there, together: love and hurt, heaven and earth, birth and loss.” Uchis spoke on the LP’s inspiration with Billboard, Marie Claire, Los Angeles Times, and Zane Lowe, among others.
Kali Uchis, Sincerely: P.S. 1. “Heaven Is a Home…” 2. “Sugar! Honey! Love!” 3. “Lose My Cool,” 4. “It’s Just Us” 5. “Territorial” 6. “Silk Lingerie,” 7. “Fall Apart,” 8. “All I Can Say” 9. “Daggers!” 10. “For: You” 11. “Angels All Around Me…” 12. “Breeze!” 13. “Sunshine & Rain…” 14. “ILYSMIH” 15. “Cry about it!” ft.

Global superstar and GRAMMY-winning recording artist Kali Uchis has been hailed as a rare talent since she emerged. With artful forays into R&B, alt-pop, reggaeton, and Latin strains, she’s has released several of the most lauded albums of the past decade: from her 2015 mixtape Por Vida, to her 2018 debut LP Isolation, the 2020 Spanish set Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), 2023’s Red Moon in Venus, which features the 2x Platinum-certified “Moonlight,” and was regaled by TIME Magazine as the ‘Best Album of the Year,’ 2024’s ORQUÍDEAS, and now her most personal body of work, her fifth studio album Sincerely,.
In 2024, ORQUÍDEAS launched Uchis’ career to new heights. Her highest charting album to date (debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200), the critically adored record — which was her fourth album overall and second in Spanish — was led by crossover singles like the Platinum-certified “Igual Que un Ángel” with Peso Pluma (#1 on Hot Latin Songs, #23 on the Hot 100) and Gold-certified “Labios Mordidos” with KAROL G (#10 on Hot Latin Songs, #97 on the Hot 100). ORQUÍDEAS was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards, Best Pop Vocal Album at the Latin GRAMMYs, and took home trophies from the Billboard Latin Music Awards and Latin American Music Awards. The set closed the year on numerous “Best Albums” lists, racking up glowing praise from countless outlets including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, and The New York Times.
Amid consistent acclaim and honors — including nine GRAMMY-nominations and a 2021 win in the category of Best Dance Song for her appearance on Kaytranada’s “10%” — Uchis’ major breakthrough came with her own 2021 smash hit “telepatía,” which has been streamed more than 2 billion times to date and was the Hot 100’s longest running Spanish-language song by a solo act this decade with a 23-week streak. Uchis is now on the way to reaching the Spotify Billions Club three times over with the smash success of songs “telepatía,” Tyler, The Creator’s “See You Again” featuring Uchis, and soon to be “Moonlight.” Raised between Virginia and Colombia, Uchis has gone on to collaborate and share the stage with the likes of SZA, Tyler, The Creator, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg, Rauw Alejandro, and her longtime partner Don Toliver, with whom she welcomed her first child last year. Uchis has toured the world over on multiple sold-out headlining runs, the most recent of which saw her playing arenas, as well as celebrated sets at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Austin City Limits, Tropicalia, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and many more.
R&B singer-songwriter Mariah The Scientist hails from Atlanta, GA, and released her first studio album on Epic Records, To Be Eaten Alive, in October 2024. The album, which featured guest appearances from 21 Savage, Kaytranada, Vory, and Young Thug, earned Mariah the first Billboard 200 debut of her career and a Top 50 placement on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. It spawned the To Be Eaten Alive Tour, a sold-out trek through Europe and North America, as well as Mariah’s spot on Latto’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour, which brought the To Be Eaten Alive experience to legendary venues like Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas.
Her core following, cultivated through visceral emotional expression on her first three projects — Master, Ry Ry World, and The Intermission — continues to grow and helps position her as one of R&B’s brightest young stars. Mariah’s musical curiosity was born in childhood, exposed to a variety of musical acts by her father. “Coldplay comes [to Atlanta], someone that he was definitely playing for me as a child, and then I open for them,” she recalls. From there, Mariah’s journey took her to NYC via St. John’s University, where she studied pediatric anesthesiology. Though she halted her scholastic pursuit to chase her dreams as an entertainer, the “Scientist” moniker stuck with her. That said, it’s Mariah’s art that makes her unique.
The vulnerable, raw expression that composes much of Mariah The Scientist’s catalog distinguishes her from much of today’s mainstream landscape, something she’s keen on continuing even as her profile grows. From performances at Coachella and Pitchfork Music Festival to collaborations beside Lil Baby, Youngboy Never Broke Again, Chris Brown, A Boogie, and Young Thug — not to mention her performance at the latest BET Awards of the Billboard Hot 100-charting “IDGAF” with Tee Grizzley — there’s no debating that Mariah is worthy of the spotlight. Still, she refuses to take the opportunity to genuinely connect with her audience for granted. “I don’t think that creating art should be super forced. When you try to force art, you don’t like it. At least the creator winds up not liking it. And a lot of times, people don’t realize that.”
Fresh off a whirlwind 18 months that has seen them explode from a viral debut to festival main stages across the globe, Good Neighbours today release their highly-anticipated debut album Blue Sky Mentality via Polydor Records, alongside focus track ‘Walk Walk Walk’.
The 14-track record distills the meteoric rise of the duo into a bold statement of intent – weaving together the euphoric indie-pop anthems that defined their ascent, alongside a set of brand new songs that showcase the duo’s widescreen sound in full for the first time.
Latest track ‘Walk Walk Walk’ was written in LA with legendary kingpin Justin Tranter, and is one of the few writing collaborations featuring on the duo’s debut. On the process of its inception, they reflect: “He’s someone we’ve always dreamed of working with – and we learnt a bunch from it. One of our fave things about the sessions with Justin was how deep his musical knowledge is, it’s easy to pin him in as a pop god, but we bonded over a bunch of early 2000s indie bands before we wrote this. It’s also nice to have a big riff in this song as a nice little nod to those MGMT era tunes.”
Written on the road across a year of late nights, long-haul flights and fleeting moments between shows, Blue Sky Mentality captures both the chaos and clarity of a life in constant motion. It’s a record about distance and belonging, about holding onto the people and places that shape you, and about finding light even when things feel heavy. As Oli puts it himself –“The world’s been a dark place for the last few years so if you listen tour our music or come to our shows and you feels even slightly better than you did then we’ve done our job”. Pairing luminous synths with soaring choruses and lyrics rooted in community, resilience and togetherness, it’s an album built for both the quiet moments of reflection and the communal release of a festival crowd.
Speaking on it themselves, the duo add: “It’s surreal to finally say we have a debut album out. Blue Sky Mentality was written across cities, vans, tour buses and hotel rooms – we’ve been playing these songs live for too long, it’s amazing that everyone can finally hear them the way we imagined from a tinny iPhone speaker. It’s a big record, but it’s not polished, which feels really fun. This is our dream.”
Since forming in late 2023, friends Oli Fox and Scott Verrill have experienced a rise nothing short of remarkable. Their debut single ‘Home’ became the most streamed debut single globally from a new artist in 2024, amassing half a billion global streams, going Platinum in both the UK and US, and holding its place in the UK Top 40 for 15 weeks. Just as striking was its impact on fans: a heartfelt anthem about finding comfort in the people you love, the track quickly became a song that people clung to in their darkest moments.
In less than two years they’ve transcended from a sweat-soaked debut at London’s Sebright Arms to releasing a self-titled debut EP, selling out their own headline tour, making their US television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and making landmark festival debuts at Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury, Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Osheaga, Outside Lands, Rock en Seine and more. Between a BRIT Rising Star nomination, a BBC Sound of 2025 longlist spot and support slots for the likes of Mumford and Sons, Foster The People and Benson Boone, their music has soundtracked global stages and even the EA FC soundtrack – two years running.
With mixing by Dan Grech-Marguerat (The Killers, Lana Del Rey) and songwriting collaborations with Justin Tranter, Joe Janiak and Pablo Bowman, Blue Sky Mentality finds Good Neighbours balancing a raw, DIY spirit with expansive pop ambition. It’s a record that wears its heart loudly and proudly, smuggling big feelings – grief, love, hope, resilience – into massive choruses and sun-streaked synths. Featuring fan favourites ‘Home’, ‘Keep It Up’, ‘Ripple’ and ‘Starry Eyed’, alongside recent singles ‘People Need People’, ‘found u/me’ and ‘Suburbs’, Blue Sky Mentality radiates hope even in its heaviest moments, and a rallying cry for openness, optimism and togetherness.
The release is marked with a run of intimate UK indie store shows – a nod back to the small rooms where it all began – before Good Neighbours head out on their biggest UK & Ireland headline tour to date in February 2026. Built for big stages and collective catharsis, the tour will bring Blue Sky Mentality to life in rooms full of people singing shoulder to shoulder – exactly where these songs belong.
