Beck marks Valentine’s Day with the release of ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime,’ an eight-song mini-album gathering rarities, deep cuts, soundtrack favorites, and cover versions. Available digitally now, the collection brings together some of his most tender recordings, including his beloved take on “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime,” first heard in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The release also features faithful renditions of classics like Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and the Flamingos’ “I Only Have Eyes for You,” alongside tributes to John Lennon and Caetano Veloso.
The set includes two never-before-released recordings: Hank Williams’ “Your Cheatin’ Heart” and Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find You in the End,” adding rare depth to the tracklist. Beck’s own “Ramona,” from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, stands as the lone original composition, anchoring the collection with understated emotion. ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime’ will receive a physical release on opaque red vinyl February 13, offering a carefully curated Valentine’s Day keepsake that highlights Beck’s enduring gift for reinterpretation and restraint.

Three-time Grammy winner Brad Paisley is set to appear this season on American Idol as a guest mentor, joining Keke Palmer in guiding the show’s Top 20 contestants.

Sons of Town Hall return with their new single, “The Rocky Shores of England,” a quietly devastating moment from their upcoming album ‘Of Ghosts and Gods’, out March 6, including vinyl. The song is the most stripped-down recording on the album, captured with only their two voices and two old Gibson guitars, recorded together in the old style around three microphones. It’s a wistful ballad shaped by love lost and lingering regret, letting experience and harmony carry the weight.
The single arrives alongside news of an intimate U.S. tour in support of ‘Of Ghosts and Gods’. Known for their theatrical live performances and richly imagined characters, Sons of Town Hall will bring their storytelling and close harmonies to rooms built for listening. The run kicks off February 18 in Atlanta and wraps March 8 with a special appearance on Mountain Stage in Charleston, West Virginia.

Ally Evenson kicks off 2026 with momentum on her new single “Lucky Day,” out now. Blending distorted edges with breezy acoustic guitar, the track sharpens her alt-pop instincts while staying effortlessly catchy. It arrives ahead of her sophomore album ‘SPEED KILLS,’ due February 20, and lands as an immediate high point.
“Lucky Day” turns a moment of online vitriol into pointed, self-aware pop. “This song is about a man who called me a b*tch online. That’s all,” Evenson says. That blunt humor drives the track forward, pairing lyrical bite with melodic ease. The result is bold and unfussy, a song that embraces confrontation without ever losing its sense of fun.
Directed by frequent collaborator Anthony Muse, the official video marks the fourth chapter in the SPEED KILLS visual universe. Set within a traveling theater troupe, Evenson’s character disrupts a chaotic production of Julius Caesar after developing unrequited feelings for another woman in the group. “She’s bossy, loud, and causing chaos to the troupe,” Evenson explains. “This video documents the mayhem that ensues.” The concept leans theatrical and playful with precision.

Rising alt-pop artist $kin Up kicks off 2026 with the release of “Fight Night,” a raw, high-energy single that arrives alongside a self-directed music video. Built on tense production and sharp delivery, the track captures the charged feeling of stepping forward with resolve, channeling confidence, pressure, and drive into a focused, confrontational moment. The video reflects that edge, leaning into atmosphere and emotion without softening the impact.
“‘Fight Night’ is about the tension between wanting peace and being ready for whatever comes your way,” $kin Up shares. “It’s that moment where ambition, pressure, and emotion all collide—you don’t want the conflict, but you’re not backing down either.” The release follows “I Feel Ready,” which highlighted a more introspective side, and continues a run that includes “Autopilot” and a Punk Kid tour finale at the Viper Room, underscoring an artist shaping momentum on his own terms.
Los Angeles electro-soul collective B00TY resurfaces with “Damn It’s Been A Minute,” a warm, unhurried track that leans into groove, melody, and ease. Led by Edan Frei and Adam Epelbaum, the release arrives with a video directed by Sadé Clacken Joseph and carries the group’s love of ’70s funk filtered through modern rhythm and polish. The moment behind the camera became part of the story too, with Frei sharing, “What started as a normal day of shooting a music video ended in us accidentally breaking a bathtub in Britney Spears’ mansion and flooding the entire house. Oops, we did it again.”
Lady Gaga brought quiet grace to the Super Bowl with a heartfelt cover of “Won’t You Be My Neighbor”, honoring the enduring kindness of Mister Rogers. Guided by restraint rather than spectacle, the performance let melody and meaning lead, showing how a simple song, delivered with care, can still cut through the noise and land exactly where it should.
CDK Dance Company delivered a jaw-dropping visual reimagining of Bohemian Rhapsody, translating the operatic drama, shifting moods, and emotional weight of Queen’s anthem into pure movement.
