Son Little Maps New Ground With Genre-Spanning Album ‘CITYFOLK’ And Single “Be Better”

Son Little announces his fourth album ‘CITYFOLK’, his first full-length release since 2022. Alongside the announcement, he shares the new single “Be Better,” a song centered on release, resilience, and forward motion. ‘CITYFOLK’ reflects Little’s long-standing relationship with music that exists between categories, shaped by storytelling rather than genre boundaries, and builds on a body of work that draws from folk, rock, hip-hop, blues, R and B, and country without settling into any single lane.

The album was developed after Little relocated outside Atlanta and traveled to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to record in January 2025 with producer and musician Ben Tanner. Sessions began with voice note demos and acoustic sketches before expanding into layered arrangements that incorporated drum machines, live rhythm sections, and horn parts. Recorded in and around Shoals, the project reflects both a personal exploration of family history and the collaborative chemistry formed during the sessions, resulting in an album shaped by place, process, and shared musical language.

The Dream Machine Share “Things That Make Us Cry” Ahead Of ‘Fort Perch Rock’

Merseyside five-piece The Dream Machine release the new single “Things That Make Us Cry,” taken from their third album ‘Fort Perch Rock’, out February 27, 2026 via Run On Records. The song was recorded on found and unconventional instruments and written during touring downtime, with songwriter and vocalist Zak McDonnell citing influences from Phil Spector and Brian Wilson. Recorded and self-produced across studios on the Wirral and in Liverpool, the album spans 12 tracks and follows the band’s earlier releases ‘Thank God! It’s The Dream Machine’ and ‘Small Time Monsters’.

The single arrives as the band announce their biggest headline show to date, set for March 27, 2026 at the Liverpool O2 Academy. The performance follows a run of grassroots U.K. dates and precedes a new schedule of festival appearances. ‘Fort Perch Rock’ takes its name from a historic coastal landmark in the band’s hometown of New Brighton and will be released across digital, CD, and vinyl formats, including special edition pressings and a band-exclusive vinyl paired with a glow-in-the-dark 7-inch covers EP honoring The Shirelles.

Intrascendence Present “Astral Session Live At Foster Observatory” Audiovisual Release

Chilean prog-metal band Intrascendence release “Astral Session Live at Foster Observatory,” a filmed live performance captured at the historic Foster Observatory in Chile. Founded in 1903, the observatory provides the setting for the session, with the band performing alongside its original mechanical dome. The project documents Intrascendence’s live sound in a site associated with scientific research, pairing extended-range guitars and dense arrangements with the observatory’s preserved architecture.

The video was produced with a minimalist cinematic approach by OnStage Productions, with audio production and mastering handled by Franco Gabelo. Vocalist Felipe Reyes and guitarist Rodrigo Del Canto describe the session as an effort to present the band’s unaltered live performance within a space tied to exploration and knowledge. The release follows a strong 2025 for the band after their self-titled debut and arrives ahead of their scheduled appearance at CL Prog 2026, one of Latin America’s leading progressive music festivals.

Harry Styles Reveals ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.’ As Fourth Solo Album

Harry Styles announces his fourth solo album, ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.’, out March 6 via Columbia Records. The release marks his first full-length project in four years and follows 2022’s ‘Harry’s House’. While no music from the album has been shared yet, Styles has unveiled the official artwork, offering the first visual entry point into the new era.

The 12-track album was produced by Kid Harpoon, who previously collaborated with Styles on ‘Harry’s House’. That album delivered the global hit “As It Was” alongside singles “Daylight,” “Satellite,” “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” and “Late Night Talking,” and went on to become one of the most commercially successful releases of the decade. ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.’ continues Styles’ partnership with Kid Harpoon as he returns with a new studio statement.

Elmiene Sets Debut Album ‘sounds for someone’ In Motion With New Single “Reclusive”

Elmiene announces his debut album ‘sounds for someone’, due March 27 via Polydor and Def Jam Recordings. The announcement arrives alongside the release of the new single “Reclusive,” produced by Jeff Gitty Gitelman, which offers a focused snapshot of the album’s restrained soul palette. Across 12 tracks, ‘sounds for someone’ reflects on family, absence, and emotional inheritance, building on the foundation established by Elmiene’s earlier releases while marking a clear new phase in his songwriting.

Speaking on the album’s title and intent, Elmiene says, “I’m a firm believer in ‘the songs belong to you until you release them’… it’s up to people to experience and listen to in their lives, whatever they may be.” The project follows a period of high-profile performances and releases, including his single “Cry Against The Wind,” appearances at the BET Awards and Roots Picnic, and a widely viewed NPR Tiny Desk Concert. With ‘sounds for someone’, Elmiene consolidates a run defined by careful craft, vocal control, and an expanding presence within contemporary R&B and soul.
