Don McLean’s Legendary ‘Live in Manchester’ 1991 Concert Is Out Now on Digital Platforms

Folk rock icon Don McLean has released his classic ‘Live in Manchester’ concert performance to the digital world for the first time, available everywhere out now via StarVista Music. This 1991 concert, which was recorded at Manchester’s historic Free Trade Hall, had been “lost for over 20 years” until its master tapes were rediscovered and restored for an archival release in 2014. Now, fans worldwide can finally stream or download the entire performance in high quality digital audio and video, with the content landing on major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Recorded before a sold out crowd on October 22, 1991, ‘Live in Manchester’ captures Don McLean in peak form, delivering over ninety minutes of music. The set list spans his career, featuring chart topping classics like “American Pie” and “Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)” along with hits such as “Crying” and “Castles in the Air.” McLean also pays tribute to his musical roots with covers like Buddy Holly’s “Everyday,” creating a powerful time capsule of folk rock excellence. McLean said of the release: “It’s hard to believe this concert was sitting unheard for so long—it was a special night for me in 1991. I remember the electricity in that hall. We were in Manchester, but the energy felt like everybody in the world was singing along.”

This emotionally raw, seven song portrait of growing up, letting go, and telling the truth marks a powerful entry into the music scene for the young artist.

Primarily written by Sabrina herself, the EP features contributions from talented producers and writers like Philip Etherington, Cooper Holzman, and Ian Franzino.

Huddy Releases Raw New Single “Fragile,” Embracing Vulnerability as Strength

Multi hyphenate musical force and Gen Z trailblazer Huddy has released his latest single, “Fragile,” which is available everywhere out now via Verswire. The track is an emotional and soul baring anthem that invites listeners to embrace vulnerability as a profound form of strength, accompanied by a cinematic official companion video, directed by Nathan Haugaard. This single continues the momentum of his boldest chapter yet, building on the foundation set by the recent release of “Vendetta.” “Fragile” is his most authentic and reflective track to date, delving into the universal experience of bottling up pain until finally reaching a necessary breaking point.

Huddy opens up about the quiet strength in admitting when things are not okay, challenging societal norms in the process. He shares, “In a world where we’re told to ‘suck it up’ and keep moving, Fragile is that pause – that breath – that says it’s okay to not be okay. As men, we often ignore vulnerability. As women, you’re told to toughen up just to prove you’re strong. But emotions aren’t weaknesses – they’re part of what makes us human.” “Fragile” provides a safe space for listeners feeling overwhelmed, heartbroken, or simply feeling too much, welcoming sadness, anger, and pain without shying away from them. Fans can catch Huddy performing this track live at upcoming dates, including the Ceremony Music Festival and the Vans Warped Tour.

21 Lil Harold Pays Homage to Atlanta with New Single and Video “Dope Boy”

21 Lil Harold is keeping his 2025 hot streak burning with the release of “Dope Boy,” a statement making new single and video that is available everywhere out now via Slaughter Gang and Epic Records. The track is fueled by an innovative flip of Outkast’s iconic “So Fresh, So Clean,” and it is equal parts nostalgia and fresh perspective, serving as Harold’s heartfelt love letter to the Atlanta hip hop lineage that raised him. Produced by Go Grizzly and Boxhead, the song balances homage with Harold’s own sharp delivery and distinct voice, pushing the city’s sound into the future through a modern lens.

Anticipation for the single was massive, building for months after Harold first teased the track on TikTok in late April, dropping a snippet that quickly went viral and sparked a flood of fan comments demanding the full release. The accompanying visual, which is also out now, mirrors the song’s energy with a blend of old school swagger and new school flair as Harold moves through scenes that capture both ATL pride and his own evolution as an artist. “Dope Boy” follows a run of standout drops this year, including “The Realest,” “Word On The Street” featuring Rob49, and his explosive collaboration “Nookie” with Sexyy Red and 21 Savage, reinforcing his position as one of the South’s most consistent and exciting voices leading into his forthcoming album.

Paradise Lost Unveils Goth Metal Opus “Tyrants Serenade,” Album ‘Ascension’ Is Out Now

Goth metal titans Paradise Lost have officially released their eagerly awaited album, ‘Ascension’, which is out now from Nuclear Blast Records. The album was preceded by the debut of their riveting third single, “Tyrants Serenade,” a powerful, four plus minute goth metal opus that immediately establishes itself as a bleak new staple in the band’s celebrated catalogue.

Vocalist Nick Holmes offered context to the song’s themes, saying, “Observing the death of an individual, and subsequently, how the transition of seasons evokes fond memories.

With the album now available everywhere, fans can fully immerse themselves in the emotional depth and sonic power of Paradise Lost’s latest work.

Priscilla Block Drops Vulnerable Single “Couldn’t Care Less” From Album ‘Things You Didn’t See’

Platinum selling artist Priscilla Block, known for her big personality, is showing fans the vulnerability behind the glittery surface with her sophomore album, ‘Things You Didn’t See’, which is out now via MCA. Block is launching a new, deeply honest chapter, asking fans, “Do you know me? Do you really know me?” She gives fans a glimpse into this change with the release of “Couldn’t Care Less,” a powerful, soul bearing letter to the music industry that rings with the pain of feeling misunderstood. The single, written by Block alongside Trannie Anderson, Alex Maxwell, and Cole Taylor, and produced by four time Grammy Award winner David Garcia, is a stark look at the unseen emotional weight behind Block’s armor of megawatt charisma.

Block shared the personal necessity of the track, saying, “The past couple of years have been a rollercoaster. This life has challenged me not only as an artist, but as a person. Honestly, there’s been a part of me that has felt misunderstood. The girl who “couldn’t care less,” when in reality, I’ve never cared more. Writing ‘Couldn’t Care Less’ was the therapy I didn’t even know I needed. For a long time, people have seen me as bulletproof, but this is a side they haven’t seen.” The 14 track record offers an unfiltered view of everything Block has experienced behind the scenes, including anxiety, burnout, and the cost of always being “on.” The new album, which is available out now, showcases a mature sound from an artist who now knows exactly who she is and connects with the universal desire to be truly known.

Lecade Releases Charged Heartbreak Anthem “Blind,” Out Now

Up and coming country artist Lecade has released his charged new heartbreak anthem, “Blind,” which is available everywhere out now via Big Machine Records. The track offers an unfiltered look at a relationship unraveling under the crushing weight of deceit, depicting a lover’s lackluster attempt to conceal her unfaithfulness. Built on a combination of lively guitar, steady drums, and a smooth vocal delivery, “Blind” captures the boiling point of betrayal, hitting the moment when the warning signs can no longer be ignored and suspicion gives way to certainty.

Lecade, who wrote the song alongside Beau Bailey, Brandon Manley, Cole Miracle, and Justin Holt, continues to embrace powerfully confessional songwriting. While putting the pieces together, Lecade calls out the lies and late nights, leaning into the bitterness and disbelief that the relationship ever progressed this far. Lecade shared the deep, personal nature of the track, saying, “‘Blind’ is a song that came from a time in my life that I find myself still carrying with me sometimes. It’s about loving hard, losing harder, and realizing sometimes we don’t see the truth until it’s right in front of us. This is a really personal and honest piece of music to me, and I hope it makes people who might relate feel seen and heard.”
