The Lemonheads are back today with “Deep End” b/w “Sad Cinderella,” available now via Fire Records. The double-sided single heralds the impending arrival of Love Chant, the iconic band’s first album of all-new original material in almost two decades, due out in the Fall.
“Deep End” is joined by an official music video, filmed on location in Sao Paulo, Brazil, by directors Carlao Busato and Luigi Parisi, streaming now on YouTube. A limited-edition 12″ vinyl version of the single will be released on June 13.
Recorded at Sao Paulo’s A9 Audio with producer Apollo Nove (Rita Lee, Bebel Gilberto, Seu Jorge), “Deep End” and “Sad Cinderella” offer undeniable evidence of Evan Dando and The Lemonheads’ still monumental gifts, twin slices of timeless songcraft heralding the welcome return of a justifiably legendary rock ‘n’ roll band. Co-written by Dando with longtime collaborator Tom Morgan of Smudge, the churning, riff-powered “Deep End” features instantly identifiable solo guitar from Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis and backing vocals from dear friend and frequent Lemonheads guest Juliana Hatfield. Meanwhile, “Sad Cinderella” sees The Lemonheads putting their singular stamp on a tender cover of Townes Van Zandt’s romantic tearjerker, with Dando sharing beautifully brittle duet vocals alongside acclaimed Nashville folk pop singer-songwriter Erin Rae.
“It’s never been so painless making a video,” says Dando. “Everyone working was really great. The endless sidewalk goes really well with the song.”
The Lemonheads will mark their long-awaited reemergence with a wide-ranging world tour, beginning this month with a series of headline shows in Dando’s beloved Australia and New Zealand, celebrating the recent 30th anniversaries of the immortal albums, It’s A Shame About Ray and Come On Feel The Lemonheads. Additional headline shows and top-billed festival appearances across the UK and Europe get underway in August, with North American dates to be announced soon.
President have revealed single, “In The Name Of The Father,” the debut proclamation – a raw meditation on existential fear and the inevitability of death, referencing the “King of Terrors.” Dark, unflinching, and deeply cathartic, it’s the first glimpse into a world PRESIDENT are only beginning to reveal.
“Something has been stirring. A growing noise, a ripple through the republic of the underground. We called. You listened. Your curiosity, your questions, your conversation… We have witnessed it all. Here, we make our first proclamation. ‘In The Name Of The Father’ This is the first crack in the surface. This is your PRESIDENT. We’ll be seeing you soon. Godspeed.”
Operating at the intersection of heavy music, electronic experimentation, and cinematic atmosphere, PRESIDENT doesn’t conform to the traditional structures of genre or identity. Prioritizing intent over image and shifting the spotlight away from those who have created this movement, firmly onto the music itself.
5x GRAMMY-nominated vocalist and Academy Award-nominated writer, actor, director, and producer, Seth MacFarlane returns with a new song, “Give Me The Simple Life,” off his upcoming studio album Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements, out June 6th via Verve Records / Republic Records.
“Give Me The Simple Life” features an original arrangement by Nelson Riddle with music by Rube Bloom and lyrics by Harry Ruby. The song follows MacFarlane’s previous track, “Lush Life,” released last month to critical praise from the likes of Billboard, Variety, American Songwriter, NME, and more.
Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements is a one-of-a-kind album that includes twelve never-before-heard arrangements originally created for Frank Sinatra by his legendary collaborators Riddle, Billy May, and Don Costa. Written for some of Sinatra’s most classic and celebrated albums, these historic arrangements remained in the private collection of the Sinatra family, unheard – until now. All together, the twelve tracks on Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements are much more than a tribute to Frank Sinatra – they are a time capsule of rich musical history, opened for the first time, of undiscovered American treasures, in which MacFarlane’s warm, expressive vocals breathe new life into these carefully preserved arrangements.
In collaboration with the Sinatra family and estate, MacFarlane acquired the entire Sinatra music archive in 2018, and has brought these twelve remarkable arrangements to life with a 70-piece orchestra, featuring world-renowned musicians from Los Angeles and London, conducted by acclaimed British conductor John Wilson, and produced by MacFarlane’s longtime musical collaborator Joel McNeely. Every song on the album was recorded as a live performance with this ensemble at George Lucas’ famed Skywalker Sound Studios in Marin County, California.
Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements is MacFarlane’s ninth studio album. His critically acclaimed albums In Full Swing [2018], No One Ever Tells You [2016], and Music Is Better Than Words [2012] all received GRAMMY Award nominations for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album”. Throughout his illustrious career across music, television, film, and comedy, MacFarlane is recognized for his passion and dedication to preserving orchestral music in modern entertainment and bringing classic sounds to modern audiences.
In July, MacFarlane and his orchestra will unveil some never-before-heard arrangements from Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements for an unforgettable weekend at Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas on Thursday, July 3rd, Friday, July 4th and Saturday, July 5th on sale now. Next year, he’ll also bring the album to the stage with a live performance at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall on February 17th, 2026, on sale now.

Jin of 21st century pop icons BTS unveiled his highly-anticipated second solo album Echo. With the intention of reconnecting with his fans through music, Jin makes a swift return with the new release, arriving just six months after his solo debut album Happy.
Echo explores the myriad moments of life, each resonating in its own unique form of an ‘echo.’ The album presents Jin’s perspective on universal experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and wit. From exploring themes such as the dynamics of ‘you and me’ and ‘us,’ along with love, friendship, and the crossroads one encounters in everyday life, Jin paints a broad spectrum of universal experiences through his music.
The album features a total of seven tracks-main track “Don’t Say You Love Me,” “Nothing Without Your Love,” “Loser (feat. YENA),” “Rope It,” “With the Clouds”, “Background,” and “To Me, Today.” Jin participated in penning the majority of the tracklist, including “Nothing Without Your Love,” “Loser (feat. YENA),” “Rope It,” and “With the Clouds.”
Echo is built on the band sound that Jin has personally loved for a long time. The album features a vibrant mix of genres such as high-spirit pop-punk, upbeat country rock, orchestral Brit rock, lyrical Japanese rock, simple yet high-energy alternative rock, and heartfelt ballad pop-all grounded in band instrumentation. By blending these diverse sounds, Jin creates a cohesive sonic identity shaped by his affinity for band music and his evolving artistry. Jin’s lyrical contribution and a genre close to his heart combine to make an album that feels more authentic than ever.
“Don’t Say You Love Me,” the main track of Echo, is a pop track that carries authentic feelings and life’s moments that deeply resonate with listeners. It depicts the complex emotions of a falling relationship, as two lovers find themselves unable to let go, caught in the irony of holding on because of love itself. With its intricate lyrics and easy-listening sound, the track showcases an evolution of Jin’s emotional delivery.
The music video for “Don’t Say You Love Me” is presented in a dramatized format. Jin and acclaimed South Korean actress Shin Se-kyung appear in the video, with their acting performances intensifying the emotional immersion of the song. The video portrays a couple, once passionately in love, meeting after their breakup. The narrative, revisiting the emotional scars and complexities between them, leaves a lasting impression, while the nuanced performances of the two actors capture the poignant sentiment of the track. Filmed in Singapore, the video portrays the stunning local scenery and visually evocative cinematography, offering a serene depiction of the sorrow that accompanies the end of a relationship.
Echo is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide. Following his album release, Jin will be appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for his TV premiere performance of “Don’t Say You Love Me.” In June, the multifaceted global superstar is set to keep the momentum going with the launch of his first-ever solo tour #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR across Asia, Europe, and the United States.

Today, Grammy-nominated musician Grace Potter released “Oasis,” the third single from her highly anticipated album Medicine, produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett and due out May 30th via Hollywood Records. A shimmering slow-burn that finds Potter’s vocals floating above a moody, cinematic backdrop, “Oasis” showcases the raw elegance and soulful magnetism at the heart of Medicine. You can listen to the never-before-heard version of “Oasis” on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon.
“I wrote Oasis with the brilliant Mark Batson, so while people might recognize the song from the eponymous album, the approach I took on it with T Bone is about as far afield as a song arrangement could ever be,” shares Potter. “I love both versions because the song is just so moody and flexible. This is definitely one of my favorite reimaginings on the album.”
In 2008, Potter went into the studio with T Bone Burnett and cut an album unlike any other in her wildly expansive body of work. Made with a wrecking crew of musical luminaries, the Burnett-produced LP captured Potter at a moment of profound metamorphosis, then wound up shelved. She has now joined forces with Hollywood Records to unearth those recordings from deep in the vaults and release Medicine: a powerhouse album that’s equal parts archival gem and thrilling new addition to her extraordinary catalog.
Arriving on the heels of her fifth solo album Mother Road—a 2023 LP that marked her most fiercely visionary work to date—Medicine came to life soon after the release of This Is Somewhere, the 2007 sophomore effort from her former band Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. After stumbling upon a video of Potter delivering an a cappella rendition of the title track from the band’s 2005 debut Nothing but the Water, Burnett didn’t hesitate when approached about working with Potter. Fresh off his widely celebrated turn as producer on Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Raising Sand, Burnett approached the project with a definitive plan for what would become Medicine.
Recorded at The Village Studios, Medicine strays far from the high-spirited roots-rock of Potter’s earliest work, bringing a shadowy intensity to her soul-baring songs of lust and longing and self-salvation. To carve out the sonic landscape envisioned for the album, Burnett enlisted his longtime collaborators Jim Keltner, bassist Dennis Crouch, guitarist Marc Ribot, and keyboardist Keefus Ciancia.
Over the course of its 12 songs, Medicine achieves a hypnotic power thanks to the charmed interplay between Potter’s shapeshifting voice and the sonic exploration of her collaborators. The tracklisting’s myriad high points include the title track, which has since become a staple in Potter’s notoriously transcendent live show, “If I Was from Paris,” the first song ever written on her iconic Gibson Flying V, as well as the original, never-before-heard versions of “Make You Cry,” “Losing You,” “To Shore,” and “Before the Sky Falls.”
Earlier this month, Potter “wowed” (People Magazine) the crowd with a capella rendition of the National Anthem at the 151st Kentucky Derby at the iconic Churchill Downs. This summer, Potter is set to join Chris Stapleton for select dates this summer, including two nights at Madison Square Garden.

Today, the bass virtuoso and funk originalist – MonoNeon – has released his new studio album You Had Your Chance…Bad Attitude. The album is another example of this prolific prodigy’s ever-evolving sound and features more experimental elements of R&B and funk. To mark the occasion of the release, a music video for the single “Beyoncé” is also out.
Prior to the albums full release, MonoNeon gave fans a preview with the pre-release singles “Beyoncé,” “Bad Attitude” and a stand alone track titled “God Reason” that had him teaming up with comedian Katt Williams, the legendary George Clinton and the GRAMMY winning producer, songwriter and rapper James Fauntleroy (Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, SZA) – Watch the animated visualizer directed and created by Cody A. Banks.
The new album was recorded between his hometown of Memphis and the legendary Floki Studios in Iceland and will be his first release via the studio’s label imprint and distributed by Color Red. You Had Your Chance enriches a dizzying MonoNeon catalog that includes nearly 20 distinct solo releases, collaborations with Mac Miller, Ne-Yo, Sudan Archives and Georgia Anne Muldrow and crucial contributions to Nas’ King Disease, which won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2020. He’s also released his own signature five-string bass through Fender and Whammy pedal through DigTech – a testament to both his virtuosity and the respect afforded to him by studio pros and amateurs alike.
MonoNeon is an American bassist and experimental musician from Memphis, Tennessee. He is known for his presence on YouTube playing bass guitar and being one of the last people to work with Prince. MonoNeon is a Grammy Award-winning artist, for his participation on the 2020 Nas album King’s Disease. On November 1, 2022, Fender released the MonoNeon Collection, which included the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V Signature.
Known for his otherworldly live show, MonoNeon has played Newport Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, and more. Kicking off this summer, MonoNeon will play a string of North American, Australian and Asian tour dates. He’ll begin the I Want Snacks & Gifts Tour with a stop in his hometown of Memphis, TN, followed by a few dates in the South before heading abroad for multiple stops in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
