<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Award-winning country soul singer-songwriter <strong>Tami Neilson</strong> has shared &#8216;Careless Woman,&#8217; available now via Outside Music. The rebellious country-blues anthem is accompanied by a spectacular official music video – co-starring New Zealand-based actress Olivia Tennet (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Power Rangers RPM) and Ling Zhang of Parris Goebel’s esteemed Royal Family Dance Crew. “‘Careless Woman’ was inspired by a 1938 collection of ‘Dating Tips’ in Parade Magazine,” says Neilson, “one of which read, ‘Careless Women never appeal to gentlemen. Don’t talk while dancing, for when a man dances, he wants to dance.’ Director Abe Mora was inspired to bring this era to life and built an amazing coin-operated music box for me and my band of Careless Women to perform in, like a human jukebox. As the song plays, the women in the bar are empowered and begin to dance and throw off the oppressive rules of propriety.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Beija Flo</strong> is back with a spectacular new video for her latest single &#8216;Waiting for the Sun&#8217;. The new visuals directed by Sam O’Leary (notable for his work with hit BBC series ‘Inside No.9’ and supernatural videos for the likes of Witch Fever and Bleach Boy) are as surreal as they are sublime and bring a whole new dimension to Beija’s latest release. Bearing witness to the day the laughter dies, the viewer is drawn into the back streets of Liverpool to the most unusual of murder scenes. Starring Beija herself, along with a cast of clowns and a sprinkling of psychedelic animation from the mind of Sam O’Leary, the results are a lysergic blend of tragedy and comedy that make for an engrossing watch. Speaking about the new video, its director Sam O’leary says: &#8220;I’m so grateful that Beija doesn’t say no to silly ideas. Because silly doesn’t mean you’re not taking it seriously. I think we’ve walked the tightrope between drama and comedy well. The clowns were fantastic and INCREDIBLY patient as we were shooting this in one take over and over again until there was no more sunlight left. And as the whole video is in slow motion, we had to do everything in one go at twice the speed. I always love making music videos for Beija, and &#8216;Waiting for the Sun&#8217; is such a fantastic song to work from, especially in terms of getting to subvert expectations.&#8221; The video offers a fitting companion to &#8216;Waiting for the Sun&#8217;, a track which fuses a Sharon van Etten-esque sense for drama with a climactic orchestral bombast born for the widescreen. Initially written shortly after Beija was diagnosed with MRKH syndrome and experienced heartbreak for the first time, it’s a track born from under the darkest of clouds. Having lived with Beija almost her entire adult life until its release this year, the song has taken on many meanings and guises for her as an artist, but that sense of raw emotion is as vivid and palpable now as it was when she first penned it. Opening-up about the release, Beija says: “I suppose I find talking about &#8216;Waiting For The Sun&#8217; so difficult because it&#8217;s a medal. It&#8217;s a big medal I wear across my chest, day in, day out. It was born in the middle of a war, and is now a growing series of very precious battle scars. It&#8217;s hope…. It feels like such a milestone in my life to finally be releasing it.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following the release of her March debut album <em>If My Wife New I’d Be Dead</em>, <strong>CMAT</strong> is sharing the video for ‘Peter Bogdanovich’. “I wrote the song Peter Bogdanovich after listening to a podcast about the making of the film The Last Picture Show,” CMAT explains. “To cut a long story short, Peter ran away and left his wife for yungwan (the lead actress in the film, Cybill Shepherd). I was taken by this particular story because I love his early films, and I loved finding out that his wife, Polly Platt, was the player who was actually responsible for what I love most about his films. I was really interested in everyone’s motivations &#8211; Peter for acting so selfishly, Cybill for throwing a bomb on a marriage and her work, and most of all Polly, for staying to work on the film even after the affair came out. I think it is a great allegory for the role that the construct of gender plays in all of our decisions, and how if gender and sexuality wasn’t really seen as such a rigid ‘thing’, our lives would be very different. I approached director Jake Passmore with the idea of doing a video where I was in Boy Drag because a) it worked with the theme of the song b) I thought it would be really fun. Himself and Sam Brautigan, who co-directed, then came up with a brilliant abstract treatment around me playing Peter Bogdanovich that involved choreography, Orson Welles and a puppet. What more could I possibly want? These are all my favourite things, and all of the actors and crew were wildly talented and so pulled it off, which I don’t think was easy given how weird the joint is.” [via DIY]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following her outstanding debut EP <em>far from home</em>, Swedish singer and songwriter <strong>Mimi Bay</strong> shares a tender moment on the emotive track &#8216;helium cowgirl&#8217;. This lush return from the artist sees us entering the world of heartbreak with grace, charming our way through the pain with a dose of Bay&#8217;s incredible vocal range. On the new single, Bay strips back any bold instrumentation to allow her vocals to float gently over a minimalistic piano melody. A subdued moment in Bay&#8217;s catalogue, &#8216;helium cowgirl&#8217; is a transcendent offering from an artist that has already impressed with previous releases. Resisting the urge to return with an outlandish statement, Bay&#8217;s calming, hazy and soft-in-the-centre single provides the goods without losing its impact. &#8220;&#8216;helium cowgirl&#8217; is about trying and failing to keep someone around and realizing there&#8217;s nothing you can say or do to change their mind,&#8221; Bay says. &#8220;Like gravity having no effect on helium.&#8221; The single comes paired with a silky 50s-inpsired visual that sees Bay in all her minimalistic glory. An evocative visual that pulls on the heartstrings, &#8216;helium cowgirl&#8217; promises the recovery of heartbreak will be sad but short, an important moment in life where we truly find ourselves questioning our next move. Bay honestly confronts the notions of wanting to keep that person in your life because you believe you&#8217;d be lost without them. But in a few months time? You&#8217;ll be back out in the world, shining brightly with a new lease of life. [via Earmilk]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Kynsy</strong> has returned with a new single, ‘Point Of You’. “’Point Of You’ is me trying to work my way through the different sides of romance, happiness and disappointment,” she explains. “It’s about being stuck in the same cycle of falling in love with people who don’t or will never love you back and the feeling of tiredness that comes from attempting to have romantic relationships with people that never go your way. It’s about being love hungry for an honest and pure connection but being so fed up and dissatisfied by trying and trying that you start to ask yourself, ‘what’s the point’?” The new track comes alongside an accompanying video, of which she reveals: “We wanted to try and portray the pain and mental chaos that comes with rejection. We focused on the idea of a patient in therapy trying to unravel a failed relationship and slowly losing her mind as she analyses the relationship and herself. We wanted to try and create a visual representation of the chaos of an overactive mind by strange movement within a singular space.” [via Dork]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ailbhe Reddy</strong> has a disarming sense of honesty. Lyrically, she&#8217;s an over-sharer &#8211; funny, astute, and always on-point, the Irish artist pours her feelings into her music, and let&#8217;s the world listen on their own terms. Her debut album <em>Personal History</em> landed back in 2020, was amid widespread acclaim it climbed to the shortlist of the Choice Music Prize. Surging into fresh areas, Ailbhe Reddy returns with fuzzy-buzzy new single &#8216;A Mess&#8217; and it&#8217;s a riotous ear-worm. A helter-skelter pop song, &#8216;A Mess&#8217; tries to pin down why those old patterns of behaviour forever shine through, a kind of self-analytical blast of guitar pop energy. She comments: “‘A Mess’ is about not feeling good enough in a relationship and examining old patterns and habits. It’s about feeling fed up of going around in circles, while focusing on a throw away comment that ‘no wonder it was such a mess’.” Georgia Kelly of CLTV directed the super-fun visuals, which match both the exuberance of the arrangement and the quiet melancholy of the lyric. Ailbhe adds: “I wanted to keep the playfulness of the music alive in the video and make sure it was tongue and cheek rather than very serious. Georgia came up with a few scenarios that were funny representations of feeling ‘not good enough’ and giving up.” [via Clash]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A few years ago, Becca Kauffman started performing as the alter ego <strong>Jennifer Vanilla</strong> while they were still in the art-rock band Ava Luna. JV has become Kauffman’s main concern over the past couple years, resulting in a lot of stray singles and 2019’s <em>J.E.N.N.I.F.E.R</em>. EP. Last month, they shared a single, &#8216;Body Music,&#8217; and now they’re announcing a whole Jennifer Vanilla album, <em>Castle In The Sky</em>, out in August. Kauffman wrote and produced it with their longtime collaborator Brian Abelson. “That’s what the process of living inside of an alias has been for me, a way to identify the vision, see where you’re at, and close the gap,” Kauffman explained of the project. “I started Jennifer Vanilla so I could learn in front of people, and display a kind of curiosity and openness which I would probably be far too fearful to do without the cover of an alternate identity. It’s a distinctly Jennifer kind of courage to be curious out loud in this exhibitionistic way.” Jennifer Vanilla is sharing a video for new single &#8216;Take Me For A Ride.&#8217; [via Stereogum]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Brooklyn-based musician and songwriter <strong>Grace Ives&#8217;</strong> new album <em>Janky Star</em> is out now via True Panther/Harvest. Grace also has a new video for <em>Janky Star</em> track &#8216;On The Ground,&#8217; directed by Sara Magenheimer. &#8220;Grace was one of my students who eventually became my assistant and friend,” Sara says. “I have been rooting for her for years, so in a way this video is a love letter to her, a way of showing how much I see in her and how truly incredible I believe she is. This video is also a celebration of music videos as an art form. I referenced Warhol’s work for MTV and Deee-Lite’s videos to honor the way in which this humble form has acted as a Trojan Horse, bringing experimental moving image art into homes across the world. I love the punk vibe of this medium and this video embraces its young wild history.” [via Brooklyn Vegan]</p>

Speaking about new track &#8216;The Fawn&#8217;, project member Ryan Hover says: &#8220;Venus Physica, Universe incarnate, completes their transformation into Venus Verticordia, changer of hearts. This is the final struggle of the human mind, a defiant creation of meaning within the cloud-tides of entropy, a last fever rage against the slow but unstoppable hand of time.&#8221;</p>

On the track, Maddie shares &#8220;&#8216;You Might Not Like Her&#8217; was the easiest song I wrote on the EP. Most of my past work has been about my relationships with other people and never about my relationship with myself. This was the first time I allowed myself to be truly vulnerable in my music and it kickstarted my project. It means the world to me because it&#8217;s how I came out to myself and my family.&#8221; [via Broadway World]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amidst a fast-paced world where social media likes and follow counts define our self-worth more than anything else, it can be all too easy to lose sight of what is really important in life.

Released alongside a moving music video, Jazzie buries herself in fallen petals as she reminds herself of the times she has spread herself too thin to please others. Under a blanket of sombre notes and uplifting synthesisers, &#8216;wallflower&#8217; builds a narrative that is not only relatable to all but also has reassurance baked the whole way through it. As the track draws to a close, when the rising melody reaches a point of triumph, Jazzie regains her wings and learns to be there for herself in times of loneliness — a welcomed departure from the usual boy-saves-lonely-girl narrative. Elaborating further on the track, Jazzie explains, “‘wallflower’ is a song I wrote about the pieces of myself I had lost or changed in my attempt to please the people around me. It’s an intimately produced song that tells the story of how I ended up disconnected from myself and through that admission, how I was slowly returning to a more authentic and whole place. The accompanying music video reflects the ups and downs of this process through imagery of loneliness, coinciding with metamorphosis and a heavy emphasis on shadows vs light.” [via Wonderland]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a cold, unfeeling place where young entrepreneurs enter as the “World’s Best Entry Level Employees” and exit as cash-chasing nightmare bosses. And Automatic just captured that hell in a lone, shiny &#8216;Skyscraper.&#8217; The Los Angeles band dropped a video to accompany their single ahead of their forthcoming album <em>Excess</em>, due out June 24 via Stone’s Throw. The Alex Thurmond-directed vid conveys a detached corporate dystopia where morale plummets with the stock market and “every dollar gets you off.” Her carefully-place visual gags — such as a “please no crying the lobby” bulletin — match the caustic bite of lyrics like “No country or cause / You’re lost in the fog / Your skin is so tight now / You can’t move at all.” “’The pitfalls of capitalism and corporate life can be easy to fall into,” shares Thurmond. “American Psycho and Office Space were both points of reference, the glorification of monotonous tasks and success measured by climbing the corporate ladder. Those movies have such an over-the-top, satirical quality that really matches the tone of the song, and it was fun to play that up.” [via Vanyaland]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Having recently announced their new album, <em>Emerald Sea</em>, is set for release June 17 via Joyful Noise Recordings, New York-based audiovisual project <strong>Sound of Ceres</strong> are sharing the second glimpse of the record with their new single and video &#8216;Sunray Venus&#8217; directed by Matthew Maddox. Speaking about new track &#8216;Sunray Venus&#8217;, Ryan Hover of Sound of Ceres said &#8220;A song of nascent mind&#8217;s curiosity. Venus Caelestis, the morning star, has left the cradle of the void to climb sea-crags and delve in grottos for the flame spied from afar, a flicker beneath the waves, the deep wish of the unknown to be known.&#8221; On the visuals, director Matthew Maddox said &#8220;Listening to the song and speaking with K and Ryan, an image of a visitor to this planet popped into my mind. I wanted to capture the mystery and child-like wonder of what it would be like to explore a new world for the first time.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Daily Harvest is a plant-based food company and to celebrate Earth Month, they&#8217;ve teamed up with <strong>Kelis</strong> to make a new song titled &#8216;Feed Them&#8217;. The new track is teamed with a video filmed at Kelis&#8217; California farm, and features on the <em>Daily Harvest: Eat The Solution</em> EP with other songs from Kyla Imani, Shuba and Damoyee. In a statement, Kelis said, &#8220;If we&#8217;re able to plant these little seeds, give people the information and let them see how feasible and tangible eating the solution really is, that&#8217;s the first step towards change.&#8221; On Instagram, she added, &#8220;The Earth gives us everything we need to nourish ourselves and our families, if we take care of it. Healing our planet doesn’t have to be so complicated. If we all just up our fruits + veggies and choose food that&#8217;s good for us and the planet, we can all do our part to take better care of the Earth.&#8221; [via Line Of Best Fit]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last month,<strong> Flasher </strong>announced a new album, <em>Love Is Yours</em>, the band’s first since their 2018 debut. Its lead single &#8216;Sideways&#8217; was the first that Taylor Mulitz and Emma Baker presented from the group as a duo, and it was groovier and more chilled-out than what’s come before. Now, they’re back with the album’s second single, title track &#8216;Love Is Yours.&#8217; “‘Love Is Yours’ is about the roller-coaster highs and lows of a long-term relationship—the kind where a conversation can feel like a tripwire, with subtextual clues that offer the promise of reward if correctly decoded,” the band said in a statement. The track comes with a Camille Smura-directed music video homage to National Treasure, with Baker playing Nic Cage. Perfect timing for the Cage meta-comedy The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, which hits theaters this weekend. [via Stereogum]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under the name <strong>BETWEEN FRIENDS</strong>, Los Angeles-based sibling duo Brandon and Savannah Hudson make woozy bedroom pop ballads that explore social anxieties and romance. Now, they&#8217;ve shared a video for their latest single, &#8216;orange juice.&#8217; In the video, the pair pretend to be adults and call up a school to have their humanoid orange friend released early. Check out the Kevin Clark-directed video above. Wale says Jerry Seinfeld helped clear samples to bring 2010’s More About Nothing to streaming &#8216;orange juice&#8217; is a slow-burner, opening with mellow chords before soft guitar plucks gently rock the song back and forth. &#8220;Like you best with words unsaid,&#8221; Savannah coos. &#8220;Can we just watch the time slowly go? You know I&#8217;m hung on this reality.&#8221; “When creating ‘orange juice’ we wanted to write a song that was as colorful as possible,” the duo said about the song in a press release. “Lyrically the song touches on making the ultimate unexpected fantasy out of something as simple as a comedown from a night out. Pairing this with sonics reminiscent of cartoons and a groove made after listening to a lot of D’Angelo’s Voodoo, we hope that the song will take you on a small mental trip.” [via The FADER]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Melbourne trio <strong>Telenova</strong> return with glorious new single &#8216;Why Do I Keep You?&#8217;. The three-piece made their bow in 2021, with their silken, studied alt-pop becoming the tastemakers&#8217; pick. Hailed for greatness, new single &#8216;Why Do I Keep You?&#8217; is genuinely wonderful pop song, full of intrigue, mystery, and a glorious melodic touch. Worth aligning alongside mid 90s guitar pop melancholy, it&#8217;s also shot through with a brilliant white light, presenting a solution amid the darkness. A song about love pushing you to the edge, Telenova sing: “I kissed the ground before you, I cut my eyes out for you, restless, blinded by my love…oh why do I keep you?” Angeline Armstrong directs the colourful, super-chic video, with tightly wound choreography from Zoe Marsh.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Laufey </strong>returns with new single &#8216;Everything I Know About Love&#8217;. Out now, it further blends jazz tropes with her exquisite songwriting, with the Icelandic-Chinese artist chasing magical highs. Transforming everyday feelings into something remote and inspired, the single is marked by her painterly touch. &#8216;Everything I Know About Love&#8217; reaches towards some inspired truth, and while failing to get there relishes in the journey. Laufey comments… &#8220;This song is about all the magical things that I was told love was like but I’ve never gotten to experience. I’ve tried many times but fail every time. Turns out, I don’t know anything about love! The intro composed by Bach is played by myself on cello, and my mother and sister on violin.&#8221; [via Clash]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>070 Shake</strong> is finally coming back with her sophomore album. <em>YOU CAN’T KILL ME</em> is due out this spring via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings, and now, the singer has shared the project’s lead single, &#8216;Skin and Bones.&#8217; &#8216;Skin and Bones&#8217; is simultaneously a banger and a slow jam that incorporates 070 Shake’s signature blend of hip-hop, soul, and danceable pop. The track documents a clandestine love affair that seems to be slipping through the cracks: “Skin and bones under the covers/ Kept our love undercover/ Nonchalant, very subtle/ Tryin’ not to step on the puddle,” 070 Shake sings over spacey production. The Noah Lee-directed music video for &#8216;Skin and Bones&#8217; is a surreal, cinematic trip, taking 070 Shake and her cohort of co-stars throughout various locations until she arrives at an empty auditorium for a shocking conclusion.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sunflower Thieves </strong>have shared their new EP <em>Someone To Be There For </em>which is released with their latest single and video for ‘Grown Out Of You’. The EP sees Sunflower Thieves exploring themes of self-discovery and growth, navigating and reflecting on the past as well as looking towards the future as they touch upon friendship, relationships, personal growth and loss along the way. All of which is delivered by the duo in their unique way as they release a body of work which is all at once warming, reflective, honest and authentic. Released with the EP is focus track, ‘Grown Out Of You’ which is the duo’s latest track offering, inspired by the nostalgia and curiosity of returning home and seeing their childhood friends moving on with their lives, in a different direction and being happy for them from a distance. The childhood nostalgia of the track is brought to life as the duo feature in the accompanying visual set at a village hall kids’ party where they are seen to be disconnected from the other party guests who are enjoying traditional party games. The video concludes with Sunflower Thieves accepting that they’ve grown out of their past friendships which means they can find contentment and happiness for their friends from a distance. Speaking on the new track, the duo added “You forget life goes on while you’re away but when you come back expecting things to have remained, it’s bittersweet but also easy to accept that things have changed and that you’ve grown apart from those you once knew so well.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Music creator <strong>Anna Sofia</strong> showcases her talent for storytelling in her brand new single &#8216;Cruel World&#8217;. This is the third offering this year from the Toronto-based songstress, and showcases people who will do anything for power, ignoring the consequences that come with it. She reveals her realization that the world is a harsh place when you’re living as if you’re the only one in it. The visual for the track focuses on the same physical and mental confines present in the &#8216;No. 5&#8217; visual, but this time including experiments from the outside world. Part of a larger, upcoming film project from Anna, the video leaves fans questioning what’s next for Anna. Will she make it out? This will all be continued in Anna’s upcoming debut EP,<em> LET ME OUT I’M FREE! </em>which will be arriving May 19 via Mismatched Socks Presents. Anna Sofia on the process of creating &#8216;Cruel World&#8217;: “At the time of writing this song, I was in a position in my career where I felt I was being treated as a product by the people around me. A bunch of money and power-hungry business people, using me as another stepping stone to their success. This inspired me to use this concept that I was already very eager to speak about, but turn it into some crazy fictional fairytale. We ended up making each verse their own separate story that, in the end, speak on the same life lesson. We decided to use the chorus as an opportunity to sum up both stories and explain the message they were both telling which is: money and power can take you far, but it’s a cruel world when there’s no love.” [via Pop Nerd Lounge]</p>
