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

0

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’

0

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

0

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.

0

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.

0

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.

Billy Idol Documentary Heads To Cinemas As Global Rights Land With Evan Saxon Productions

0

The global theatrical rights to the forthcoming feature-length documentary film Billy Idol Should Be Dead, directed by three-time Grammy-winner Jonas Åkerlund and produced by Live Nation Studios, have been acquired by Evan Saxon Productions (ESP). The film traces the life and career of punk pioneer turned rock ‘n’ roll icon Billy Idol. Through never-before-seen archival and personal interviews with Idol, his family, peers and collaborators, the documentary digs deep into his emergence as a prototypical punk rocker, his meteoric rise as a global superstar in the MTV era and the myriad of challenges Idol had to overcome to not just survive, but to remain one of the most beloved figures in rock n roll, almost fifty years into his career.

The film made its festival debut at the Tribeca Film Festival last summer, followed by an award qualifying run. The film will have its wide theatrical release in early 2026. Additional info will be shared shortly.

“Billy Idol is a larger-than-life artist who changed the face of pop culture and music history during his 50-year career,” notes Evan Saxon. “From Generation X to now, he’s still selling out arenas around the globe. We are honored to work with Another Planet’s Laurence Freedman and Live Nation to bring the powerful and heartfelt documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead to his fans on the biggest cinema screens worldwide.”

The film features Idol’s original song with Academy Award-nominated writer J. Ralph, “Dying To Live,” which is included on the shortlist for Best Original Song at the 98th Academy Awards. The film’s coda sequence is built around “Dying To Live,” featuring imagery—both animated and archival—from throughout Idol’s life and storied career and was written by Idol and Ralph alongside longtime Idol collaborators Steve Stevens, Tommy English and Joe Janiak.

Billboard recently named “Dying To Live” a top contender for the Best Original Song Oscar, while The Hollywood Reporter praises “Idol’s warm vocal delivery alongside the swelling strings.” The original song was recently nominated for Best Song-Documentary Film at the Hollywood Music In Media (HMMA) Awards, which also nominated Billy Idol Should Be Dead for Best Music Documentary-Special Program.

Idol’s first full-length album of new music in over a decade, Dream Into It, is out now on Dark Horse Records. The album reached #7 on the U.S. Top Albums Chart and #4 on the U.S. Current Rock Album Chart, #9 on the U.K. Official Album Sales Chart and #2 on the German Top 100 Album Chart. Dream Into It continues to see extensive critical acclaim from The New YorkerNew York MagazineAARP The MagazineConsequenceBillboardUSA Today and many more. See what the press has said and watch Idol’s appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (performing his new single “77” feat. Avril Lavigne as well as discussing the new record with Kimmel) and “The Drew Barrymore Show” in the interactive one-sheet HERE.

The album includes performance and co-writing contributions throughout from Idol’s longtime guitarist/collaborator Steve Stevens plus appearances by Lavigne, Joan Jett and Alison Mosshart of The Kills, and is produced by Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, blink 182, BØRNS, K. Flay). Stream/purchase the record HERE.

Additionally, Idol recently returned to the road for It’s a Nice Day To…Tour Again! The tour saw Idol sell out venues across the U.S., Europe and Latin America while touring with support from Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, New Model Army and more.
