For the better part of the last decade, it has become increasingly difficult to escape a constant stream of bad news. Social media, cable television, and the endless refresh cycle all reward outrage and urgency. Eric Hirshberg's latest single, "What's Not Wrong," doesn't pretend those realities don't exist.

Its central refrain, “We all need a new heart sometimes,” gives the song its emotional sha

2ŁØT’s music has always carried a sense of fusion, but “fusion” can be a slippery word. Sometimes it implies a band trying to combine too many ideas at once. On “Iris,” the group sounds relaxed inside its own range, pulling from funk, soul, hip hop, jazz, electronic music, and live-band improvisation without making the listener keep score. The new single, released ahead of the July 31 arrival of RE/SOLVE, features Eric Krasno on guitar, along with Ben Bohorquez and Evan Weiss

Tony Tripi’s new album as TRIPI, Close to Fire: Roman’s Anthology Release Part I, begins from a place of profound personal loss. His grandson Roman died one day after his birth, and the album that followed is shaped by that grief. But the project does not appear to stay locked inside one family’s story. Its lead single, “Charlie’s Song,” makes clear that Tripi is writing about remembrance as something communal. “Charlie’s Song” is out now, and it introduces the album through

Parker Barrow describe their sound as “vintage-shop rock,” which is a phrase that could go wrong in the hands of a band overly attached to nostalgia. On “Nothin’ Left To Save,” though, the description mostly fits. The song feels built from older materials - blues-rock riffs, Southern grooves, soul vocals, classic-rock swagger - but it does not sound like a costume. The Nashville band’s new single previews Hold The Mash, their second album, arriving July 17th. The record follo

Maria Ellis’s “Lucky” has the shape of a big pop ballad, but its appeal comes from something smaller: the feeling of being accepted before you fully know how to accept yourself. That tension gives the song its emotional center. The new single, released with an official music video, follows Ellis’s “Relapse” and continues the relationship narrative she has been building through recent music. Where “Relapse” dealt with emotional repetition and the difficulty of letting go, “Luc

The most interesting thing about Rodrigo y Gabriela’s “Monster” is that the collaboration does not feel bolted onto the song after the fact. The new single, taken from the duo’s upcoming album OurHome, was inspired by Naoki Urasawa’s manga Monster. The accompanying video was then created by Urasawa himself. That full-circle path gives the release a depth that a standard music video announcement would not have. Urasawa’s participation is a serious headline. He is one of manga’

It uses it as a doorway. “Watchman” arrives as the latest preview of Fingers Entwined, the debut EP Young Allies will release on July 24. The band is led by

A song about the empty nest comes with obvious risks. It can easily drift into nostalgia, overstatement, or a kind of soft-focus sentiment that smooths out the complexity of the experience. Eric Hirshberg’s “Less Important Things” largely avoids those traps by keeping its emotional focus narrow and its language grounded. The new single follows “For Real feat. Aloe Blacc,” “We’re All In This Alone,” and “More Is Not The Answer,” all leading toward Hirshberg’s forthcoming album
