Gentlemen Of The Woods are back with ‘November Embers,’ their third album and their most fully realized recording to date. Tracked at Ottawa’s Breezehill North Studio over the winter of 2025/26 with collaborator Jeff Watkins, the 10-song record is equal parts revelry and elegy, built in careful layers to capture the warm, rich texture the band has always chased in their live performances. It sounds like it was made with care, patience, and the last bottle of bourbon in the city.
The album opens with “Everything Old Is New Again,” a track the band describes as running into an old friend, familiar but changed. From there, ‘November Embers’ moves through a range of emotional terrain: “That Song You Wrote” traces a youthful adventure with a lingering undercurrent of loss, while “Worst Kind Of Weather” rides through the endless black spruce of northern Ontario with a trucker who might be ready to pull off the highway for good. Play that one loud.
The emotional centre of the record is “Campfire,” the song that gives the album its title, a poetic look at the memories you’d want to hold forever. Geoff’s lyrics are sad and grateful and quiet, and Mike’s guitar solo sends sparks into the night. It’s the kind of track that earns its place as the heart of a record.
Side two opens with “In Need Of Repair,” Doug’s Byrds-flavored lick leading a song about hard-won regret, before “Red Cars” brings his banjo back into the mix on a Grapes of Wrath-era portrait of riding streetcars in search of work and purpose. “Holes In My Shoes” is the band at the peak of its songwriting, folk sensibilities with pop flair, hooky lead guitar, and soaring three-part harmonies. The album closes with “Home,” an anxious, coiled build anchored by Geoff’s lyrics about a complicated but deeply loving father-daughter relationship, with a Hammond B-3 organ spot courtesy of Ottawa music legend Dave Draves.
‘November Embers’ is out now on all streaming platforms, with vinyl on the way. Like the sad-eyed bison on Doug’s album artwork, it watches the world with some apprehension and a whole lot of wonder.
Suki Waterhouse’s new single “Tiny Raisin” is out now, and it’s exactly the kind of song that makes you want to drive too fast with the windows down. The second track from her forthcoming album ‘Loveland,’ due July 10th via Island Records, was written by Waterhouse alongside Steph Jones, Carrie K, and producer Gabe Simon, and it arrives with a visualizer that leans fully into its vintage, effortlessly cool energy.
Waterhouse was direct about what the song means to her: “‘Tiny Raisin’ is a love song at its core. It’s a song that stands by the fact that real love in its truest essence can be chaotic, ridiculous, and imperfect, while still being something that is absolutely worth choosing over and over again.” That combination of self-awareness and warmth is all over the track, and it gives the song a charm that’s hard to shake.
“Tiny Raisin” follows “Back in Love,” ‘Loveland’s’ buoyant lead single, which Harper’s Bazaar called “a super joyful track made for late summer nights dancing around with friends.” Two singles in, the album is already building a distinct world, lush, life-affirming, and confidently its own. ‘Loveland’ arrives July 10th.
Demi Lovato’s deluxe album ‘It’s Not That Deep (Unless You Want It To Be)’ is out now, and it arrives on one of the biggest nights of her current run: a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. Eight new tracks expand the original album’s late-night, celebratory energy, led by the sultry new single “Low Rise Jeans,” with additional features from Cobrah and Rose Gray. It’s the sound of an artist fully locked in, and the live show confirms it.
The It’s Not That Deep Tour opened last week to immediate critical praise. The Hollywood Reporter called the show “triumphant,” noting Lovato’s “new air of confidence” and her “clear understanding of the power she holds with her microphone.” USA Today praised her voice as “a potent instrument” that “never wavered.” Variety declared her “one of the singular vocalists of her time.” The reviews landed as a unified statement: Lovato is at the top of her game.
The tour marks her first North American headlining arena run in nearly eight years, and the demand has been there from the start. Produced by Live Nation, the remaining dates run through May 25 in Houston, with stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and more still ahead. Tickets are available now at DemiLovato.com/tour.

The song is out now on all streaming platforms, arriving as a surprise drop following that Coachella performance. It’s a reflection on grief and loss, built around the stillness that follows absence. Gonzalez’s signature ethereal melancholy meets KAROL G’s raw, restrained delivery, and the result feels suspended in time. Delicate and haunting, it’s the kind of record that doesn’t need a rollout to find its audience.
The surprise drop follows KAROL G’s history-making Coachella performance and arrives alongside the announcement of her “Viajando Por El Mundo TropiTour,” a global stadium run that will make her the first Latina artist to headline stadiums across Europe as part of a global tour. Tickets are promoted by Live Nation, with presales beginning Monday, April 27 for fans who register at karolgmusic.com. General on-sale timing varies by market.
Conan Gray’s ‘Wishbone Deluxe’ is out now via Republic Records, and it arrives with five brand new tracks that push the project further into the emotional territory that made the original album a career peak. Leading the expansion is new single “Door,” joined by fan-favorite “The Best,” plus “Do I Dare,” “House That Always Rains,” and “Moths.” These aren’t filler additions. They’re songs written and recorded after the original release, conceived from inside the same headspace that produced one of his most acclaimed records.
‘Wishbone’ debuted at number one on the Billboard Album Sales chart and Top 3 on the Billboard 200 when it arrived in 2025, marking the biggest debut week of Gray’s career. Written entirely by Gray and executive produced by GRAMMY-winning collaborator Dan Nigro, the album signaled a return to his singer-songwriter roots with a new level of emotional precision. The deluxe edition extends that narrative rather than padding it.
Gray is currently mid-run on his sold-out global Wishbone World Tour, having already headlined arenas across North America including Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The tour now moves into Europe before heading to Australia and New Zealand later this year. With over 12 billion global streams and a catalog that includes the two-billion-stream “Heather,” written entirely by Gray himself, his connection with audiences remains as direct and durable as ever.
Ringo Starr’s 22nd solo album ‘Long Long Road’ is out now via UMe, and it arrives as one of the most warmly crafted records of his solo career. The follow-up to last year’s chart-topping ‘Look Up,’ the 10-song album reunites Starr with producer T Bone Burnett for a second time, and the collaborators they’ve brought in make it something genuinely special. Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, and Sarah Jarosz all appear across the record, lending their voices and instruments to a collection that feels rooted, warm, and alive.
The title track anchors the album and arrives today with a video directed by Francesca Gregorini, Ringo’s stepdaughter. The clip follows Starr through scenes from across his life, incorporating personal and never-before-seen photos alongside new technologies. It’s sentimental without being heavy-handed, and Sheryl Crow’s harmony vocal on the track gives it a timeless, open-road quality that suits the song perfectly.
Starr reflected on the album’s central theme with characteristic warmth: “Starting in Liverpool, being in several bands, then with The Beatles, all those stops on your walk of life, it’s so far out. I took this path and ended up here, still on this Long Long Road.” T Bone Burnett added his own perspective, noting that he’s “always heard Ringo as a Texas artist,” and set out to surround him with what he called “extraordinary young energy happening around Nashville.”
The album’s 10 tracks span a range of moods and textures, from the fiddle-laced “She’s Gone” with Molly Tuttle to the guitar-driven “Baby Don’t Go” featuring Billy Strings, to the quietly powerful “Choose Love” with St. Vincent on vocal harmonies. Six of the songs were written or co-written by T Bone Burnett, with additional credits shared between Starr, Bruce Sugar, Mark Hudson, Gary Burr, and others. The record was co-produced by Daniel Tashian and Bruce Sugar, and recorded across multiple Nashville and Los Angeles studios.
For a man who has earned nine GRAMMY Awards, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, and spent 37 years touring with his All Starr Bands, ‘Long Long Road’ doesn’t feel like a legacy project. It feels like an artist still fully engaged, still finding new collaborators and new reasons to make music. Ringo and His All Starr Band hit the road starting May 28, wrapping at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on June 14. Full tour information is at ringostarr.com.
Billie Eilish has released “INTRO (HIT ME HARD AND SOFT TOUR),” the under-two-minute electrifying track she and her brother Finneas created to open each night of her sold-out world tour. It’s a jolt of pure anticipation, and it arrives now as the lead-in to something much bigger: her concert film BILLIE EILISH – HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D), hitting theatres on May 8, 2026.
The film is directed by Academy Award winners James Cameron and Billie Eilish, and it delivers exactly what that pairing promises. Captured across her sold-out global run, the immersive 3D concert experience puts viewers in the room in a way that a standard live recording simply can’t. Presented in Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, and Premium Large Formats, it’s a full-scale theatrical event for the price of a movie ticket.
The official trailer has already cleared 150 million views across platforms since its debut earlier this year. For fans who can’t wait until May 8, Early Access screenings are set for Wednesday, April 29 at 7PM local time, presented exclusively in Dolby 3D and RealD 3D at participating theatres. Tickets are on sale now at hitmehardandsoftmovie.com.
Noah Kahan’s fourth studio album ‘The Great Divide’ is out now via Mercury Records, and the reception has been immediate and overwhelming. NPR calls it his “finest work to date.” Rolling Stone awards it 4.5 out of 5 stars. The Associated Press gives it 4 out of 5, comparing it to “a windows-down drive on a cool summer night.” Billboard notes new depth in Kahan’s skillset. The critical consensus is clear: this is a significant record.
Produced by Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, Koe Wetzel) and GRAMMY-winning Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Bon Iver), the 17-track album was recorded across four studios, including Dessner’s Long Pond Studio in New York and Guilford Sound in Vermont. Hit singles “The Great Divide” and “Porch Light” anchor a record that finds Kahan grappling with fame, identity, family, and the distances that form between people.
Kahan shared his own reflection on making the album: “The collision of fear and pressure and joy and luck and total love has left me wordless. I spent many months walking forward in complete darkness, hands out in front of me, desperate to touch something familiar.” It’s the kind of honesty that has defined his writing since ‘Stick Season,’ and ‘The Great Divide’ pushes that emotional directness into more expansive, anthemic sonic territory.
The release week has been relentless. Kahan opened with a stripped-back NPR Tiny Desk performance of “American Cars,” “The Great Divide,” “Paid Time Off,” and fan favorite “Orange Juice.” He then appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon before attending the TIME100 Gala in New York City, where he was named among the TIME100: Most Influential People of 2026. Marcus Mumford wrote his honor, comparing his songwriting to “Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell at their best.”
The Netflix documentary Noah Kahan: Out of Body, which debuted last week, has added another dimension to the album’s arrival. The film won the 24 Beats Per Second Audience Award at SXSW 2026, with Variety calling Kahan “a fascinating mixture of rock-star confidence and small-town-lad humility.” Roger Ebert awarded it 3 out of 4 stars, praising it as “remarkably vulnerable and focused.” It’s streaming on Netflix now.
Up next, Kahan returns to Saturday Night Live as musical guest on May 9th, alongside host and fellow New Englander Matt Damon. It’s his first appearance on the show since his 2023 debut. With over 1.5 million tickets already sold for The Great Divide World Tour, including a record-breaking four sold-out nights at Fenway Park, the summer ahead is shaping up to be the biggest of his career.

On November 27, 2020, with live music on pause everywhere, Krewella did what they’ve always done: turned up the intensity and connected with their fans anyway. Sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf delivered their ‘zer0 Live Concert Experience’ via Insomniac TV, a full-production broadcast that blended raw vocals with hard-hitting bass, dubstep, and drum and bass in a set built around their ‘zer0’ era material. With support from Shivarasa and Reaper, it wasn’t a compromise, it was a full-scale electronic music event that happened to stream directly into your living room.
In 2015, Muse hit the Pinkpop stage in Landgraaf, Netherlands, and delivered the kind of performance that reminds you why stadium rock still matters. Riding the release of ‘Drones,’ their politically charged concept album, Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard tore through a setlist that balanced new material with career-defining anthems like “Starlight” and “Uprising,” all wrapped in the kind of visual production that few acts can pull off at that scale. Raw, technically flawless, and relentlessly powerful, it’s Muse at full throttle.
