Beverly Glenn-Copeland And Elizabeth Copeland Share “Harbour (At Hotel2Tango)” Duet Ahead Of ‘Laughter In Summer’

Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland share the new single “Harbour (At Hotel2Tango),” a duet reworking of Glenn-Copeland’s 2023 song, released in advance of their forthcoming album ‘Laughter In Summer’, out February 6, 2026 via Transgressive. The release is accompanied by a live video captured during a sold-out performance at Hackney Empire in London in October 2025. Originally written as a birthday song for Elizabeth, “Harbour” was relearned through improvisation after Glenn experienced memory loss, with Elizabeth beside him, holding his hand as the song took shape again.

‘Laughter In Summer’ emerges during a period shaped by Glenn-Copeland’s diagnosis of LATE, a form of dementia, as his executive functioning declines while his musical instincts remain deeply present. Recently profiled by The Guardian and honored with the Legacy Award at the 2025 PTP Pink Awards, Glenn-Copeland’s creative life spans more than five decades. The album reflects the shared life he and Elizabeth have built through music and community, becoming a record grounded in devotion, memory, and connection rather than formal composition alone. Elizabeth has taken on the role of producer, shaping the album alongside music director Alex Samaras.

The album was recorded in 2024 at Hotel2Tango in Montreal with producer and engineer Howard Bilerman, following a series of tour performances. There was no initial plan to make a record. The sessions began as a way to document songs already being shared live, joined by a choir of Montreal voices assembled by Samaras. With no rehearsals and minimal preparation, the recordings were captured in Glenn’s preferred one-take approach, including a rehearsal take that opens the album. The resulting songs stand as documents of presence and generosity, created in real time and shaped by trust, care, and shared attention.

Our Nameless Boy Share “38” And Announce ‘Thorns’ EP Release

Bristol-based alt-rock band Our Nameless Boy release the new track “38,” accompanied by a music video. The song marks the first release from their upcoming EP ‘Thorns’, out April 10 via Bandcamp and available on all other platforms from April 17. Drawing from late 1990s and early 2000s U.S. alternative and emo influences, “38” moves between restrained tension and full-band intensity, pairing rhythmic misdirection with charged lyrical themes. Guitarist and vocalist Iain Gorrie explains that the song was written during a period shaped by anxiety around large-scale global events and how they are experienced on a personal level.

The accompanying video reflects the song’s focus on greed, ignorance, and division through abstract imagery, using circus performers to represent those most affected by systemic harm. Visual shifts from black and white to color reinforce the idea of recurring cycles and repeated mistakes. ‘Thorns’ follows the band’s 2021 album ‘Colour from the Doves’ and continues their move toward broader narratives examining the modern human condition. Ahead of the EP’s release, Our Nameless Boy will play a small run of live shows in the U.K.

Saint Harison Returns With “bad” As 2026 Opener And New Creative Turn

Southampton-born artist Saint Harison releases “bad,” his first new single of 2026. Written with Grammy-nominated duo NovaWav and songwriter Rissi, the track documents the aftermath of a breakup and the impulse toward vindication, delivered through pointed lyrics and a direct vocal performance. The song follows his recent release “ghosted” and presents a contrasting emotional stance, grounded in confrontation rather than restraint. “I wrote ‘bad’ with one of my favorite songwriting producer duos, NovaWav,” Saint says. “I remember ranting about getting dumped a week before Valentine’s Day. That’s where ‘bad’ started, and now the song feels like a whole alter ego to me.”

Sonically, “bad” draws from Saint Harison’s R and B and soul influences, including Jazmine Sullivan, pairing layered production with a rhythm-forward structure. The release arrives after a period of growing visibility that includes being sampled by Dave on “175 Months” from ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’, public support from Justin Bieber, SZA, Elton John, and Kehlani, and the release of “ghosted,” whose video was directed by DEADHORSES. Saint Harison continues to expand his catalog following his debut EP ‘lost a friend’, which has surpassed 200 million streams worldwide.

India Ramey Releases “Welcome To My Villain Era” And Details Forthcoming Album ‘Villain Era’

Nashville-based outlaw country artist India Ramey releases the new single “Welcome To My Villain Era,” now out via Copoco and Blue Elan Records. The song also serves as the title track for her upcoming album ‘Villain Era’, scheduled for release on May 8, 2026. Built around fiddle, twang-forward guitars, and a classic honky-tonk rhythm, the track centers on personal boundaries and self-definition. “If my boundaries offend you,” Ramey says, “I’ll happily play the villain in that story.”

‘Villain Era’ was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Eric Corne and features contributions from Eugene Edwards on guitar, Chris Masterson on guitar, and Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle. Written entirely by Ramey, the album follows her 2024 release ‘Baptized By The Blaze’ and reflects a shift toward autonomy and clarity. Ramey describes the project directly, saying, “This album is the ‘healed’ me. I spent years as a people pleaser, not knowing how to have boundaries. I lost sight of who I really was. These songs are about reclaiming that.”

The Deadmans Introduce Alt-Pop Vision With Debut Single “Nice Kid” Video

London-based international alt-pop newcomers The Deadmans release their debut single “Nice Kid,” now out via all major streaming services, accompanied by an official video. Written and recorded across Paris, London, Brooklyn, Silverlake, and Brunswick Heads, the track features drums recorded at Up Top Studios in St Albans, with additional production and mixing by Jake Black and mastering by Ruairi O’Flaherty at Nomograph Mastering. The song introduces the band’s lo-fi, groove-led approach, pairing intimate vocal delivery with a restrained but insistent rhythmic foundation.

Lyricist LaurenSage Browning describes the song as rooted in lived experience, saying, “I spent several years of my twenties trying to shapeshift myself to match the rooms I was in instead of breaking down the door and running to places where I could exist without all the magic tricks.” The accompanying video, directed by Harry Deadman and LaurenSage Browning and shot on a VHS handycam, was filmed in Browning’s hometown in Kansas and stars Nikki DeParis. Harry Deadman explains, “The video takes the central theme of ‘Nice Kid’ and digs into LaurenSage’s midwest roots… we opted for minimal production to replicate the feel of 90s and 2000s home videos,” visually extending the song’s focus on displacement, escape, and self-recognition.

Aquakultre Shares “Make That Change” With Measha Brueggergosman-Lee Ahead Of ‘1783’

Halifax singer, rapper, composer, and storyteller Aquakultre, also known as Lance Sampson, releases the new single “Make That Change,” featuring Juno Award-winning soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee. The track arrives in advance of Aquakultre’s fourth studio album ‘1783’, due February 6, 2026 via Next Door Records. The album brings together production from Erin Costelo, mixing by Qmillion, and mastering by Chris Athens, continuing the momentum following Aquakultre’s 2023 Polaris Music Prize longlisted album ‘Don’t Trip’.

“Make That Change” is accompanied by a lyric video shot by John Walsh and centers on cycles of violence and silence within Black communities. Sampson says, “There was always a tension between the Square and Mulgrave Park, which are both predominantly Black, and between East Preston and North Preston. As the younger generation, I feel like we were at a loss. Even now, I’m one degree separated from what happens on the street and who’s been affected by it. This song is a question particularly posed to Black men of my generation. It’s an optimistic plea for us to start thinking about the violence in our communities and how generational trauma is catching up to us, and how we are reacting to each other without love and connection.”

XCOMM Drop “Fake ID” Hardcore Punk Single As Venice Beach Breakout Moment

Venice Beach hardcore punk band XCOMM release the new single “Fake ID,” now available on streaming platforms alongside an official music video. Written by frontman Michael Gatto, the track draws directly from being turned away from under-21 shows and channels that experience into a fast, aggressive song built around beatdown rhythms and sharp pacing. “Fake ID rips! It’s about getting rejected from shows for being under 21 when all you want to do is check out a band,” Gatto says. “The video shoot was amazing. It was so funny to walk around town dressed as grandmas for a day. I thought we looked great and I love how the video concludes with us walking into the ocean.”

The release coincides with a major live moment for the band, as XCOMM support Foo Fighters at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles for a sold-out charity concert benefiting Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission, held on Dave Grohl’s birthday. “Fake ID” is the second single from XCOMM’s upcoming debut album ‘Time To Burn’, produced by Ross Robinson and coming via Blowed Out Records. The song locks frustration into a compact, high-impact release that hits hard and moves fast, marking a confident step forward for a band gaining attention through live shows and sharp, direct recordings.
