Gatton Soliloquy feat. Jenna Bataller, Abigail Joy, Wyn Starks, Kennedy Brown
Entering with a euphonious song named Soliloquy is Gatton, a singer-songwriter out of Cleveland, Tennessee. The song features numerous talented vocalists, all who perform superbly adding their scent to the song. Soliloquy is a thought-driven piece; it doesn’t force itself on the listener, and it elegantly delivers its views.
Talking about the song Gatton stated: “The inspiration behind the track is my stream of consciousness trying to wrap my mind around the attributes of life like irony, and tragedy, and the song is called soliloquy because a soliloquy is a theatre term that basically is a monologue done by an actor that is just speaking stream of consciousness and not caring whether he/she is heard by anyone or no one, which is exactly what this song is for me. It’s a somewhat structure-less splatter of my brain in a song, it relates to many emotions and concepts that come with the human experience.

Neil Young has finally released Homegrown, a previously unreleased studio album recorded between 1974 and 1975, via Reprise. Originally scheduled for release on April 18 but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Young’s so-called “lost” album has been the cause of speculation among fans for decades. “I apologize. This album Homegrown should have been there for you a couple of years after Harvest,” Neil Young said in a statement. “It’s the sad side of a love affair. The damage done. The heartache. I just couldn’t listen to it. I wanted to move on. So I kept it to myself, hidden away in the vault, on the shelf, in the back of my mind… but I should have shared it. It’s actually beautiful. That’s why I made it in the first place. Sometimes life hurts. You know what I mean. This is the one that got away.” The album features contributions from the likes of Emmylou Harris, Robbie Robertson, Ben Keith, Tim Drummond, and Stan Szelest.
John Legend has shared his seventh studio album, Bigger Love, via Columbia. Executive produced by Raphael Saadiq, it features guest contributions from the likes of Gary Clark Jr., Jhené Aiko, Koffee, Rapsody, and Camper. “This album is more focused on joy, love, hope, and on optimism,” John Legend said during a Zoom listening session earlier in June. “I think my last album [2016’s Darkness and Light] was kind of an album about being worried about being concerned and I definitely feel both. I feel like the world needs some joy.” He also said the lyrics “feel different now, given the circumstances”, and that he hopes the album will “lift people up.”
