This fantastic update comes from the sensational Canadian house music artist and DJ BLOND:ISH. This track is out now via Interscope and UMe, delivering a jolt of energy.

This release is dance-floor approved and a must-have for classic pop and house music fans.

Transform Your Visuals with AIEnhancer: The Ultimate Image Tool

By Mitch Rice

In the modern digital age, credibility is the quality of visuals, be it a content producer, an online merchant, or an educator or a person who is safeguarding some valuable family memories. The advanced level of design is no longer necessary to improve the pictures because of the popularity of AI-based editing tools.

AIEnhancer is a unique AI-driven application that enables everyone to develop their own artwork to high-level in the realm of photo development with the free and easy-to-use online tools offered. Whether it is fixing the old photographs or removing a background image as well as erasing any undesired water marks, the site makes it simple to take any visual project a notch higher.


What Is an AIEnhancer?

The AIEnhancer is a state-of-the-art images enhancement AI tool that can achieve high quality, automatic, and fast outcomes. It has free online solutions like mending photos, enhancing clarity, deleting the background, and cleaning up the watermark.

The site is good to the users who require purer product pictures, polished teaching pictures, or reinstated family pictures. Such tools as the AI Photo Enhancer or the AI Background Remover enable anyone to instantly upgrade photos without the technical knowledge.


Preserve Family Memories with AI Photo Repair

Old photographs usually wear out, get blotted, or develop physical damages with time. AIEnhancer is a simple and efficient solution. Its superior restoration methods cure scratches, repair dwindling colors, sharpen blurry photos and recover details in old portraits.

The AI Photo Enhancer makes sure that meaningful photographs, family portraits, historic images and so on, will become clear and colorful again. This is particularly useful in preserving the old collections of photos, family history and in the restoration of emotional memories that were once thought to be beyond salvage.


Perfect for Content Creators: Enhance Social Media Visuals

The modern-day content creators are dependent on clear, catchy graphics that can be immediately noticed. The quality of imagery can be a significant point regardless of whether it is the designing of the thumbnails, banners, reels or posters.

AIEnhancer helps the creators to make their pictures easier to interpret, to remove distractions in the background with the assistance of AI Background Remover, to add or remove the existing watermarks, and to produce smooth pictures that would suit the social media, including Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, and Pinterest.

The automation of its workflow also means that the creators can retain a high-quality and professional look without needing to either have sophisticated editing skills or expensive design software.
Boost Sales with Professional Product Images

Product imagery is the main factor that online buyers consider when ordering products, and therefore, quality photos are necessary to influence the conversion rates. Poorly lit, blurry or cluttered product images may make buyers lose a lot of trust.

AIEnhancer is the solution since it allows sharpening, refining color, and eliminating cluttered backgrounds effortlessly. Vendors are able to create clean white or clear backgrounds within minutes that are suitable in the online stores.

It is also effective especially when selling on Amazon, Poshmark, Etsy, Shopify, and eBay because image quality is directly related to sales. It also aids the removal of watermarks off supplier contents giving the sellers complete authority over how they want to display their products.


Enhance Office & Educational Materials for Clarity

Professionals, teachers, and students usually have screenshots, presentation slides, and diagrams of inferior quality that are pixelated or indistinct. These visuals are greatly enhanced by AIEnhancer that sharpens the text readability, eliminates redundant backgrounds and purges reference images that have excessive watermarks.

This enables the users to create refined training media, company reports, education slides, and electronic learning materials that appear uncluttered and corporate. The platform makes even the easiest screenshots understandable and contributes to more effective communication in classrooms, during meetings, and when walking through the virtual world.


Why AIEnhancer Stands Out

AIEnhancer is unique because it is user-friendly, fast, and of professional quality. It is completely web based and no software has to be installed or subscriptions have to be purchased.

The platform is designed to be both beginner-friendly and powerful enough to use in business-it is with the help of advanced AI models that allow making high-quality improvements within a few seconds. Their flexibility allows any user in any area to edit their self-photos, create brand images or add to their work-related content without much effort.


Final Thoughts

AIEnhancer is redefining the image editing business with power available to all. It is a single platform that gives you everything you require, be it the need to restore previous memories, enhance your social media profile, enhance product listing, or enhance educational content.

Today, you can find the AI Photo Enhancer and AI Background Remover to edit your photos and raise your visual content without any challenges.

Briston Maroney Drops Live Album ‘Live At Red Rocks’ For Record Store Day

Briston Maroney has delivered a massive treat for fans and vinyl collectors, releasing his first-ever full-length concert recording, ‘Live at Red Rocks’, today, November 28th, as an exclusive part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday event. Limited quantities of the live album vinyl are available only at participating record stores, making this a truly coveted release. Recorded earlier this year at the world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, during his sold-out “Long Hair, Long Life” co-headline tour with Peach Pit, ‘Live at Red Rocks’ captures Maroney and his band at their absolute onstage best. The band electrified the ecstatic crowd with high-flying, powerful renditions of songs spanning his still-evolving body of work, with the fourteen-track collection highlighted by a thrilling live take on the fan-favorite anthem, “Small Talk.”

This dynamic live album follows the spring release of Maroney’s critically lauded third studio album, ‘JIMMY’, which is available everywhere now. Co-produced by Maroney with Alex Farrar, ‘JIMMY’ is a psychedelically-inspired collection that saw the artist exploring the profound dichotomy of growing up as a child of divorce, shuttling between the devil-may-care spirit of his mother’s rural North Florida and the intensely pressured life of a Catholic school student in his dad’s Knoxville, Tennessee. The album features deeply personal, guitar-driven tracks like “Real Good Swimmer,” “Tomatoes,” and “Better Than You,” and was met by a flurry of applause from major outlets. Ones To Watch hailed the album as “a crescendo of possibilities, a visual novel set to music… a tribute to existing, to be oneself.”

Blackbear Returns With New Single “Britney In ’07,” A Pop Anthem For Emotional Overload

Multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer Blackbear has made his highly anticipated official return with the new single, “Britney in ’07,” a sharp, attitude-filled pop anthem that perfectly captures the chaotic, meme-soaked reality of emotional overload in 2025. This track serves as part confession and part cultural commentary, successfully bottling a full-blown mental spiral into a high-energy, pop-ready single for anyone who has ever felt one bad day away from ultimate collapse. Blackbear taps into the cultural shorthand of “2007 Britney,” a defining and often misunderstood moment that has come to symbolize ultimate resilience and the point where immense pressure, performance, and public scrutiny finally collide, leaving only raw, necessary honesty behind.

Blackbear was incredibly candid about the inspiration, sharing, “This song is about crashing out and being open about it. Society makes us feel like shit sometimes, there’s a 2007 Britney in all of us… I hope this song changes the narrative and encourages people to check up on their friends and actually be there for one another as human beings undergoing the same human condition.” Across the track, Blackbear pulls back the curtain on the intense pressures of the music industry and the absurdity of living under constant digital observation. The result is a brutally honest, darkly comedic release valve: a genuine meltdown listeners can dance to, stitched together with sharp cultural references, profound self-awareness, and the emotional transparency that defines his most beloved work.

Cork’s Cardinals Release Darkly Melodic New Single “Barbed Wire” Ahead Of Debut Album

Cork’s Cardinals Release Darkly Melodic New Single “Barbed Wire” Ahead Of Debut Album

Following a nearly month-long run on the road, Cork’s Cardinals return today with another highlight from their upcoming debut album, the swaggeringly melodic but darkly worded single, “Barbed Wire.” Frontman Euan Manning revealed the surprising historical and literary inspiration for the latest track to land from their record. He stated, “It’s very much inspired by the history of our city and the Gaol house that stood on the south gate bridge many years ago, lyrically I had hoped to evoke images of silhouetted city walls and security fences.” Manning also noted that Kevin Barry’s novel City of Bohane served as inspiration for a gothic re-imagining of Cork, confirming that sometimes “aesthetics can carry a song from its inception to its completion.”

“Barbed Wire,” which lands alongside a striking black and white video directed by Xander Lewis, is the fourth single taken from the band’s much-anticipated debut album, ‘Masquerade’. The ten-song collection is set to arrive on the tastemaker label So Young Records on February 13th and was recorded across the summer with producer Shrink at RAK Studios in London. ‘Masquerade’ is a record that is at once intimate and grand, fully awash with romance and intriguing flickers of holy imagery, ultimately fulfilling the immense promise the band has shown since their earliest beginnings. This is a band forged through both family and friendship—featuring brothers Euan and Finn Manning, their cousin Darragh, and former schoolmates Oskar Gudinovic and Aaron Hurley—who have already positioned themselves at the vanguard of the Irish independent rock scene.

The songs on the album are emotionally expansive, with certain tracks like “Anhedonia,” “The Burning of Cork,” and the title track, “Barbed Wire,” simmering with an undercurrent of cynical discontent, while others gleam with a bright-eyed vulnerability. The record contrasts a vivid first half with a darker second, crafting a deliberate A-side and B-side feel, a clear nod to the band’s collective love of vinyl. This clever tonal shift takes its cue from a wide variety of unexpected influences, spanning from the brittle honesty of folk music to the theatrical melodrama of goth-rock. With the release of ‘Masquerade’, Cardinals have flung off any shackles to successfully craft something entirely their own, cementing their place as a crucial new voice in rock.

R&B/Country Trailblazer Tiera Kennedy Drops Holiday Singles “Christmas Feeling” And “Mary Did You Know”

Rising R&B/country/gospel trailblazer Tiera Kennedy has officially released two brand new holiday singles via Green is My Color: the cozy original standout “Christmas Feeling” and a powerful, soulful cover of the classic hymn “Mary Did You Know.” The original track, “Christmas Feeling,” was co-written by Kennedy, Cameron Bedell, Emily Landis, Lauren Scott, and Joe L. Barnes, with Bedell also producing the song, ensuring a truly warm and classic holiday sound. Kennedy shared the personal inspiration behind the track, saying, “‘Christmas Feeling’ is such a special song for me. Kamren and I have been married for four years and together for eleven, and every day with him really does feel like Christmas. There’s this cozy, peaceful feeling that comes with the season – the warmth, the love, the togetherness – and it always reminds me how grateful I am for what we share.

Kennedy also spoke about recording the timeless hymn, noting, “I also recorded ‘Mary Did You Know?’ Which has been one of my favorite Christmas songs for as long as I can remember. It’s such a powerful reminder of faith – it blows my mind to think about how Mary must have felt, literally carrying the child of God.” “Christmas Feeling” follows a strong year of 2025 originals, including the afro-pop earworm “Somebody Like You” and the gospel duet “Making Room” featuring Joe L Barnes. Earlier this year, Kennedy also celebrated the first anniversary of the Grammy Album of the Year, ‘Cowboy Carter’, which included her two features on “Blackbiird” and “Tyrant,” by releasing a stunning cover of Beyoncé’s “1+1.” Tiera is now putting the finishing touches on her highly anticipated album, which is set for release in early 2026.

Irish Collective How I Became A Wave Releases Delicate New Single ‘05:00’

The highly compelling Irish musical project How I Became A Wave, led by Cork songwriter Pat Carey and featuring a collective of Ireland’s finest musicians, has released a brand new single, “05:00” (pronounced “five A.M.”). This beautifully delicate winter track is inspired by the Eavan Boland poetry collection Night Feed and sees the group exploring more minimal, luminous textures. At its heart is piano composed by frequent RTÉ Concert Orchestra conductor Cormac McCarthy and performed by Rory McCarthy, set alongside a delicate yet bold string accompaniment from cellist Laura McFadden that perfectly complements Kealan Kenny’s pedal steel. Carey’s fragile vocal performance echoes the song’s vulnerability, allowing himself space to be beautifully understated in a truly remarkable range.

Carey revealed the inspiration behind the track, stating, “This song was originally inspired by Eavan Boland’s poetry collection ‘Night Feed’. I’ve always been interested in exploring how small, seemingly meaningless moments, can be interpreted as being a kind of portal to something greater, something universal.” He describes that time of night as a “liminal space, a period of magic – a kind of thinning of the veil – where beauty can dwell in the most ordinary of spaces.” Recent live shows at Cork’s Sounds From A Safe Harbour and Dublin’s National Concert Hall have completely captivated audiences, and strong support slots with heavyweight contemporaries such as Villagers, Lisa Hannigan, and Gemma Hayes have solidified the artist as an important emerging voice in Irish music. The single follows acclaimed tracks “Fading Out” and “Cycles,” confirming the project’s defining mix of tenderness, emotion, and quiet strength.

Trace Adkins Sings The Holiday Blues On New Original Single “One More Christmas”

Trace Adkins has gifted country fans a powerful new holiday ballad, releasing his all-new original song “One More Christmas” via Caliburn Records. The bittersweet country track arrives just as the multi-platinum entertainer prepares to take the stage on NBC’s holiday special, Christmas in Nashville, airing on Wednesday, December 3rd, at 10 pm ET/PT. Co-written by Adkins, Derek George, and Monty Criswell, “One More Christmas” marks a significant shift from the mischievous, fun-loving mood of his previous original holiday hit, “Naughty List.” This time around, the Louisiana legend perfectly captures the unique way loss hits harder during the holiday season, delivering a slow-burning heartbreak song with truly timeless emotional power.

Produced by George, the song instantly captivates, opening on a velvety saxophone melody before Adkins gently takes in the holiday cheer all around him. The harmony-tinged track features a soul-soothing backdrop of tender guitar lines, lush piano work, and softly chiming sleigh bells, turning wistful as the chorus reveals his one and only Christmas wish: “One more / Chance to say I love you too / Yeah, one more / Night to hold what I’m missing.” Although the second verse stirs up an aching nostalgia by referencing spinning Nat King Cole records, Adkins’ instantly recognizable, warm baritone ultimately provides a powerful emotional balm that is sure to ease the pain of anyone who is missing someone dearly this season.

For his highly anticipated appearance on Christmas in Nashville, Adkins will perform the beloved original “Naughty List” and the all-time holiday classic “White Christmas.” Hosted by three-time Grammy winner Trisha Yearwood and filmed before a live audience at Category 10 in Nashville, the two-hour special will also feature incredible performances from The War and Treaty, Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers, Lauren Alaina, and Ne-Yo. In addition to airing on NBC, Christmas in Nashville will be available to stream on Peacock beginning the following day, ensuring fans have multiple opportunities to enjoy the spectacular show. This release rounds out another action-packed year for Adkins, following his recently wrapped ‘What Color’s Your Wild Tour’ and a successful run on Blake Shelton’s Friends & Heroes Tour earlier this year.

Fishbone Unveil Hard-Hitting Video For Single “All About Us”

Fishbone Unveil Hard-Hitting Video For Single “All About Us”

Veteran genre disruptors Fishbone unveil the new video for “All About Us”, the latest visual from their critically acclaimed album Stockholm Syndrome.

With “All About Us,” Fishbone sharpens their focus on the ongoing struggle between economic justice and unchecked privilege—proving once again that their voice, their vision, and their fight are as vital as ever.

Anchored by archival footage from the 1934 Hal Roach Our Gang episode “Hi Neighbor!”, the video draws a bold parallel between Depression-era socioeconomic inequality and the still-escalating divide between today’s wealthy elite and America’s working class. In the clip, the neighborhood kids portrayed as poor or working-class are pitted against an affluent child determined to outshine them, creating a comedic yet pointed contrast between the haves and the have-nots. Nearly a century later, the themes remain painfully familiar.

“‘All About Us’ tells the story of negating the single idea and considering the one idea. Anything but your individual idea. A sociopathic/narcissistic perspective,” says Angelo Moore.  The video underscores the message: when people stand together, they are powerful, and the struggle against economic and social imbalances are far from new.

Stockholm Syndrome, Fishbone’s first full-length LP in over 20 years, arrived June 27, 2025, delivering the band’s most urgent and politically charged work since their early years, proving that Fishbone remains an unstoppable force. The lineup has reinvigorated the band’s fire, purpose, and defiant creativity.  The band is comprised of Angelo Moore (vocals, saxophone, theremin), Christopher Dowd (vocals, trombone, keys), James Jones (bass), Hassan Hurd (drums), John “JS” Williams II (trumpet, vocals), and Tracey “Spacey T” Singleton on guitar.

Fresh from the Summer Circus Tour with Less Than Jake and Suicide Machine, with stops at Van’s Warped Tour DC and Long Beach CA, Fishbone continue to build on a legacy defined by resilience, boundary-breaking, and radical honesty and industry praise for Stockholm Syndrome reflects the band’s renewed potency, “Still partying, but even more pissed off… music that can still make a difference.” — Spin. “Poised, poignant, perfect for the times… bands like Fishbone have always been needed, and now perhaps they are needed more than ever.” — The Big Takeover. “Tackling fascism, racism, industry exploitation, and emotional turmoil—with love at the center.” — Punk News

With the holidays upon us, skip the big companies hiking prices and give a gift that truly matters. Support independent artists by choosing music and band merchandise instead. Shop at the Fishbone merch store. December 16 deadline to arrive by Christmas, check it out HERE.
