Cody Johnson Premieres Video For Current Hit Single “The Fall” Directed By Dustin Haney

0

CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee Cody Johnson has premiered the video for his current hit single “The Fall” via COJO Music and Warner Music Nashville, with a YouTube after-party following the debut featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage. Directed by award-winning director Dustin Haney, who also helmed Johnson’s “‘Til You Can’t,” “Human,” “The Painter” and “Dirt Cheap” clips, the video bridges two sides of Johnson’s life as both cowboy and entertainer. World champion bull fighter Cody Webster stars in the leading role, playing the rider who gets beaten up and thrown down but gets back up to ride again, with the lyrics brought into clear focus as the film shifts between imagery of Cody performing the song in a dark field in pouring rain and the bullfighter who proves over and over again the ride is indeed worth the fall. Written by Bobby Pinson, Jeremy Stover and Ray Fulcher, “The Fall” is the second single off Johnson’s ‘Leather Deluxe Edition’ album.


YUNGMORPHEUS Announces Album ‘A Spyglass To One’s Face’ With Lead Single “Way The Rose Wilt”

0

Prolific rapper YUNGMORPHEUS has released his new album ‘A Spyglass to One’s Face’ via Known Agitators with distribution by Fat Beats. Made in collaboration with Charlotte producer Dirty Art Club, the album marks the rapper’s first offering of the year following his 2024 collaborative album with Alexander Spit, ‘Waking Up and Choosing Violence.’ The lead single “Way The Rose Wilt” arrived with an accompanying music video directed by Grant Spanier, described by Morph as a dive into the rabbit hole written during an interesting watershed period where cliches prove themselves for a reason and time is indeed fleeting. On an intricate sonic canvas from Dirty Art Club that draws cues from hip-hop, psychedelic rock and jazz, Morpheus’ lyricism cuts through with his conversational delivery of heavy realities and caustic humour in equal measure, carving out a path in the rap landscape that’s respective of the foundational canon but not beholden to it.

Inherently in the name and lyrical themes, the 16-track album is an exercise in personal growth and expansion with YUNGMORPHEUS’ keen introspection interwoven throughout, featuring guest appearances from YL, Cavalier, Lukah, Zeroh and Ba Pace. Through his career, YUNGMORPHEUS has crafted incisively written bodies of work that stretch listener expectations of rap’s limitations, adding his quintessential style to collaborative projects with diverse artists ranging from underground hip-hop icons like Pink Siifu and Real Bad Man to punk pioneer Eyedress and Japanese electronic savant Fumitake Tamura.

Falling Into View Releases Emotionally Resonant Third Single “Things (that I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)”

0

BBC Introducing Hereford & Worcester Featured Artist Falling into View has released their third single “Things (that I thought might one day be useful)” on October 24th, 2025. Written and composed by prolific songwriter Allan in just thirty minutes while packing boxes and preparing to move from the family home after many years, the track transforms the experience of clearing out sentimental items into a breakup song with a clever twist. The song explores how everyone has that drawer or cupboard shelf full of precious things gathered across the years, turning the discovery of these objects into a metaphor for the way we bank memories, using them to look back fondly over our journey or remind ourselves not to take certain pathways again. Recorded at Magic Garden Studios in the West Midlands and produced by multi-platinum and BMA award winner Gavin Monaghan, the track has already received BBC Introducing airplay and regularly stops people in their tracks at live shows, creating moments of stunned silence before applause when Lyss and Allan perform it in a stripped back way.

Following successful releases and reviews of their first two singles “What is it like to Lose?” and “On with the Show,” the band continues to blend the best of Country and Americana with an unashamed nod to Pop, delivering a sound that resonates across multiple genres. Singer Alyssa previously made waves as a BBC Introducing featured artist, while Allan carries the torch as the band’s most seasoned musician, having played alongside drummer Gordon in previous band The Idle Quiet. After that chapter closed, Gordon suggested Alyssa take the microphone for a new project, bringing ex work colleague and long-term friend Rob on board to play bass with lead guitarist Bernie, a former bandmate of Rob, joining soon after to complete a lineup that came together as if it were meant to be.

Just six months into their story as a band, Falling into View has received radio airplay across multiple stations and earned reviews praising Alyssa’s vocals as the kind that stop you mid-conversation, with critics noting the band arrived fully formed and crafted a sound that feels far bigger than their roots. With a rich mix of influences, undeniable chemistry and an ability to not take itself too seriously, the group continues making its mark one song at a time.

Kit Major Unleashes Horror-Punk Energy In Cinematic Music Video For “Teenage Wannabe”

0

Punk and alt-rock firebrand Kit Major has dropped the music video for “Teenage Wannabe” via Futureless, a snarling, cinematic track brimming with horror-punk energy that serves as a tongue-in-cheek anthem of identity, chaos and survival in a world thriving on manufactured personas. Directed by longtime collaborator Noël Dombroski, the clip brings the camp and spectacle of B-horror and sci-fi films to vivid life, capturing the chaos of Major’s live shows while blending it with surreal horror imagery. Written by Kit Major alongside AJ Peacox on guitar and Rob Nagelhout on drums, bass, production and mixing, the single is both nerdy and seductive, stuffed with twists, turns and a scream cameo by Major’s sister Emma Lev. The track pulls inspiration from punk and horror icons like The Ramones, Misfits, The Cramps and even the Castlevania video game series while carving out Major’s own razor-edged lane.

Known for fusing post-punk energy, Britpop shimmer and garage rock grit into glitter-bomb anthems that linger long after the final note, Major has been featured in PAPER, Alternative Press, Post-Punk, Wonderland, Flaunt and Under The Radar while landing placements on Spotify editorial playlists including Fresh Finds and New Rock. Her electrifying live performances and sharp lyricism continue to build momentum as she carved out a distinct space where imagination, glam and spectacle collide.

Austin Art-Pop Band Alma Muñeca Shares “Anhelo” From Healing EP ‘Deseo Un Brillo’

0

Austin-based art-pop band Alma Muñeca has released “Anhelo,” the latest single from their EP ‘Deseo un Brillo’ out now. The four-piece group led by Panamanian immigrant Cocó Allegra and produced by Ernesto Grey alongside Matt Russell and Wade Stephens has their song written entirely in Spanish, and the five-track project chronicles an empowering search for self-confidence, peace and healthy, fulfilling relationships while diving into desire, love and heartbreak. “Anhelo” sinks into breakup tension and desire, functioning as a personal phone call to an ex during that typical moment where you’re going through a separation but still strongly desire intimacy without caring about consequences. The song’s wonky instrumental hook came first from a modular synth followed by a bouncy bassline, living in an ambiguous state for months until the band needed one more song to complete a 30-minute live set and discovered their sound hinged on a simple four on the floor dance beat that brought all the dissonant and experimental textures to life.

Written during a bout of heartbreak, the project explores the dynamics between being on and off with someone as well as familial heartbreak and disappointment, navigating the intricate difficulties of nuanced relationships. Allegra felt inspired by old salsa music she would play on repeat during breakups, particularly Oscar D’León’s “Lloraras,” while also drawing motivation from FKA Twigs’ “oh my love” and Fiona Apple’s “I Want You to Love Me.” Grey has worked his whole life for this moment, from early life in Mexico where he was exposed to 2000s Latin pop led by rock instrumentation to his formative teen years in Austin where he discovered electronic producers like Trent Reznor, Thom Yorke and Jon Hopkins. Through their live performances, Alma Muñeca aims to uplift the Latin and queer communities while pairing honest stories with experimental, synth-filled production and dreamy vocals.

Seething Akira Reimagine Faithless Classic With High-Octane Cover Of “Insomnia”

0

Seething Akira released their cover of Faithless’ “Insomnia”, reimagining one of the most iconic electronic tracks of all time through raw intensity and high-octane chaos. The band set out to honour the legacy of the original while filtering it through the gloriously crushing parts of metalcore and joyfully triumphant elements of EDM that define their sound, creating a powerful collision of nostalgia and modern aggression. Taking the most recognizable moments from the Faithless classic and smashing them together with lashings of British grit, determination and cheek, Seething Akira deliver as many breakdowns that could cut diamonds as techno breaks that wouldn’t sound out of place in Berlin clubs, striving to unite two worlds with more in common than many think. The band has shared their hopeful philosophy with everyone from Don Broco and Ingested to Skindred, Killswitch Engage and Sleep Token, decimating stages at Download, Bloodstock and Victorious. They view each performance as a blessing and a chance to change someone’s perspective with the euphoria they’ve forged, with no barrier between band and crowd in these moments.
