Waxahatchee and Wynonna Judd Collaborate on New Song ‘Other Side’

Waxahatchee and Wynonna Judd have teamed up for a new song titled ‘Other Side’. The two artists met and recorded the song on Wynonna and her husband Cactus Moser’s farmland near Nashville. Watch them perform the duet in the song’s accompanying visual below.

“Working with Wynonna and Cactus on this song was one of the more creatively stimulating and exciting experiences I’ve had in my songwriting career,” Crutchfield commented in a statement. “Wynonna is an icon and a fountain of wisdom. Sharing space with her to create something new was really nothing but a joy and an honor. Her spirit inspires me daily and her continued encouragement has meant the world. Together, with Cactus, we made an amazing team and I’m so excited to share this song.”

“In the midst of everything that has happened, I said that I would continue to sing,” Wynonna added. “So, here I am. I met Katie Crutchfield last year and we connected immediately. We recorded “Other Side” in the studio here on the farm and it was one of my favorite recording experiences ever. I’m thankful for the opportunity to sing with the next generation of greatness.”

Both performers have tours coming up: Wynonna will honour the legacy of her late mother Naomi Judd on the Judds’ final tour with a lineup featuring Brandi Carlile, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Little Big Town, and Ashley McBryde. Waxahatchee will play some shows this summer in support of her latest LP Saint Cloud.

 

Amanda Shires Announces New Album ‘Take It Like a Man’, Shares Video for New Song

Singer-songwriter and Highwomen member Amanda Shires has announced a new album: Take It Like a Man is scheduled for release on July 29 via ATO Records. The LP’s first single, ‘Hawk for the Dove’, was co-written with producer Lawrence Rothman, who plays keyboards on the song, which also features background vocals from Brittney Spencer and Jason Isbell on guitars. It comes with a music video directed and edited by Shires and Deren Ney. Check it out below.

“This is the song where Jason finally had enough of the buzz in the studio and switched to a Gretsch,” Shires said in a statement. “That was the moment he realized why Chet Atkins (who recorded in this studio) loved Gretsch guitars.”

“I want people to know that it’s okay to be a 40-year-old woman and be more than just a character in somebody else’s life,” Shires added “The song and the visual representation of the song deal with the emotions that turn prey into predator.”

Take It Like a Man was written and recorded during lockdown, and, in addition to Spencer, includes  guest vocals from Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby. “I was just mesmerized,” Rothman said of working with Shires. “I thought she was the new Dolly Parton; Dolly for a new generation.”

 

Tallies Unveil New Song ‘Special’

Tallies have shared a new single, ‘Special’, taken from their forthcoming sophomore album Patina. The Toronto dream-pop outfit announced the LP last month with the song ‘Hearts Underground’. Listen to ‘Special’ below.

“‘Special’ is about longing to be seen and heard by those who matter to you most,” the band commented in a statement. “Sometimes feeling invisible is particularly painful when the indifference comes from someone whose opinion means a lot to you.”

Patina arrives on July 29 via Kanine Records in the US, Hand Drawn Dracula in Canada, and Bella Union in Europe.

Gold Panda Returns With New Song ‘I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now)’

Gold Panda has returned with a new song called ‘I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now)’. It marks the British producer’s first new material since 2019, and you can check it out below.

“I made this when my daughter was two years old and I felt knackered and I’d turned 41,” Gold Panda explained in a statement. “The samples just came together and sounded like “I’ve felt better…” and at the same time I was looking at my anti-depressants feeling tired and just thought ‘ha, that’s right!’”

He continued: “I mess with chopping up samples until I get an interesting loop so I never set out to write a track; I’m led by the samples and then go from there. Funnily enough, My life now is actually way better than it was 10 years ago and I’m a bit healthier and I probably actually do feel better in general (apart from when I had that brain haemorrhage last year).”

Rico Nasty Shares New Single ‘Intrusive’

Rico Nasty has dropped a new single called ‘Intrusive’. “This song tells the story of intrusive thoughts with some industrial elements,” Nasty explained in a statement. “The song is a true free style for me and takes you for a ride through my mind.” Check out a video for it below.

‘Intrusive’ follows last month’s Bktherula collab ‘Vaderz’, which was also produced by Ben10k and came with a visual co-directed alongside Marco Alexander. According to a press release, Rico Nasty is gearing up to release her next project, a mixtape set to arrive in early summer.

TV Priest Release New Single ‘It Was Beautiful’

TV Priest have released a new single, ‘It Was Beautiful’, alongside a one-shot music video. The clip was directed, produced, and filmed by the band in East London. Watch and listen below.

“‘It Was Beautiful’ is a love song about the past, present, and future,” vocalist Charlie Drinkwater explained in a statement. “A reminder that love is the most essential thing. The words came fast; it was recorded in a single emotive session, the first song we wrote together after my family had gone through a difficult experience and I think you can hear that in the kind of melancholy euphoria that plays out as the song progresses. In some ways it’s a coda to the whole album; a reminder to guard your hope fiercely.”

‘It Was Beautiful’ will appear on the band’s upcoming album My Other People alongside the previously shared tracks ‘Limehouse Cut’, ‘One Easy Thing’, and ‘Bury Me In My Shoes’. The LP is out June 17 via Sub Pop.

Just Mustard Share New Single ‘Seed’

Just Mustard have unveiled ‘Seed’, the latest offering from their forthcoming album Heart Under, which is out Friday via Partisan. It follows previous singles ‘Still’, ‘I Am You’, and ‘Mirrors’. Check it out below.

“Along with a lot of electronics and noise, I was listening to a lot of music which featured bowed string instruments,” guitarist Mete Kalyoncuoglu said of the song’s inspiration in a press release. “I had finished reading ‘The Rest Is Noise’ by Alex Ross around the time we started writing and I was revisiting a lot of the 20th century composers that I first discovered watching Kubrick’s films, like Krzysztof Penderecki. The rising tempo strikes at the beginning of ‘Seed’ were inspired from the rising and falling xylophone in Béla Bartók’s ‘Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta’.”
