Brian Wilson and Jim James Collaborate on New Song ‘Right Where I Belong’

Brian Wilson and My Morning Jacket leader Jim James have released a new collaborative single, ‘Right Where I Belong’. It was written for the soundtrack to Long Promised Road, the documentary about Wilson’s life and career that arrived in limited theaters and VOD earlier this month. Take a listen below.

Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road was directed by Brent Wilson (no relation) and is built around the Beach Boys member’s conversations with longtime Rolling Stone editor Jason Fine. “I was thrilled when Brent and Jason asked me to compose a song for the film,” Brian Wilson told Rolling Stone. “I enjoyed working on the song with Jim; he was the perfect collaborator.”

James added: “In my heart and soul, Brian Wilson’s music has always held a place of such divine importance. It has always been there with me in celebrating life’s greatest triumphs and has also sustained me through some of my darkest hours. His spirit and life story have taught us all to never give up and to always listen to and honor the spirit of each of our own unique creative souls. So it was truly such an honor to create and collaborate with Brian on brand new music for this incredible upcoming film about his life.”

The Long Promised Road soundtrack is out November 26 via Lakeshore Records. Last week, Brian Wilson issued At My Piano, a collection of solo piano renditions of his classic songs.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis Announce ‘Les Panthère Des Neiges’ Soundtrack, Share ‘We Are Not Alone’

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have composed the original score for the upcoming film Les Panthère Des Neiges. The soundtrack will be released digitally via Invada Records and Lakeshore Records on December 17. Check out the track ‘We Are Not Alone’, an edit not found on the album, below.

The film’s official synopsis reads: “High up on the Tibetan plateau. Amongst unexplored and inaccessible valleys lies one of the last sanctuaries of the wild world, where rare and undiscovered fauna lives. Vincent Munier, one of the world’s most renowned wildlife photographers takes the adventurer and novelist Sylvain Tesson (In the Forest of Siberia) with him on his latest mission. For several weeks, they’ll explore these valleys searching for unique animals and try to spot the snow leopard, one of the rarest and most difficult big cats to approach.”

Ellis commented in press materials for the film: “There is something about the heart of this film that draws you in. I realised after a day, that I wanted to do whatever it took to compose an entire original score. The film deserved to have its own musical voice.  I booked five days and asked Nick if he could come in for a day to write a theme song and play some piano.  He saw the film and stayed for four days. In the end we made what I think is one of the most beautiful films we have ever worked on. One of my favourite experiences ever working on a project. The stars are the animals in all their wild glory, as we have never seen them before, and man in reverence and wonder.”

The film, by Marie Amiguet and Vincent Munier, is set for release in the US on December 22. No UK release date has yet been announced.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis released their album Carnage earlier this year.

Yard Act Share Video for New Single ‘Payday’

0

Yard Act have shared ‘Payday’, the latest single off their upcoming debut album The Overload – out January 21 via Zen F.C./Island. The track, which follows previous entries ‘The Overload’ and ‘Land of the Blind’, comes with an accompanying video directed by James Slater. Check it out below.

“‘Payday’ was one of the few tracks on the record we had to rebuild completely in the studio because the first demo was recorded on my computer and the hard drive corrupted,” vocalist James Smith said in a statement. “We spent about TWO hours trying to figure out that stupid keyboard part I’d put on it and couldn’t remember how to play. It was boring but worth it. It’s about gentrification, class fetish and how the human brain is so powerful that with enough time and processing power combined it will be able to justify, defend and/or continue to commit the actions of any human being it controls.”

Speaking about the video, Smith added: “We wanted to do something less location and narrative based for this video, so an infinity white studio served as the perfect purgatory for an anti capitalist anthem funded by a major record label. It was great to get Kayleigh from ‘The Overload’ car boot shoot back with her friends, and they choreographed a brilliant dance routine for it themselves, which really brings the video to life. It’s also nice to finally be able to explain all the lettuces that kept cropping up in the previous videos.”

Raveloe Unveils New Single ‘Catkins’

0

Raveloe – the moniker of Scottish singer-songwriter and producer Kim Grant – has shared a new single called ‘Catkins’ (via Olive Grove Records). Listen to it below.

“When I spotted the catkins, I thought of their temporality and how their presence marked a change and the birth of spring, which led me into thinking of the nature of time in general,” Grant explained in a statement. “This song is about the nature of time/change and is also largely connected with moving through and beyond trauma and pain by showing yourself compassion, learning to be honest with yourself and others and processing it layer by layer.”

‘Catkins’ follows Raveloe’s 2021 EP Notes and Dreams.

Taylor Swift Sets Record for Longest Billboard No. 1 Hit With ‘All Too Well (10-Minute Version)’

Taylor Swift‘s 10-minute version of ‘All Too Well’ has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, setting the record for the longest song ever to do so. For almost 50 years, the record had previously been held by Don McLean’s ‘American Pie’, which runs just short of nine minutes and topped the Hot 100 in January 1972.

Red (Taylor’s Version), the second in the singer’s promised series of re-recorded albums, debuted at the top of the album charts, making her the second woman with 10 or more No. 1s in the chart’s 65-year history. It follows Fearless (Taylor’s Version), which also debuted at No. 1 in April.

Taylor Swift promoted Red (Taylor’s Version) and ‘All Too Well (10-Minute Version)’ with appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night With Seth Meyers on the eve of the album’s release. She went on to release a short film for the song starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien, and performed the full version on Saturday Night Live.  She also shared a ‘Sad Girl Autumn’ version of the track, recorded with Aaron Dessner and Jonathan Low at Long Pond Studios.
