Unquiet Nights are marking the next chapter of their story with "Last Days of Rome," a standalone single out now, and one that carries the weight of six years the band spent living and working in Italy. Fronted by vocalist and guitarist Luke Mathers alongside drummer Rodger Firmin, the Belfast formed group built the song around a place, and a feeling, that shaped them as much as any studio ever could.

Montreal Blues and Gospel Singer Hagiel Answers Life’s Hardest Battles With “Fight for Your Life” and Debut EP ‘I Am Enough of a Woman’ 

Hagiel’s very first memory is a dance. She was a little girl wrapped in her mother’s arms, swaying around the living room to whatever happened to be spinning on the radio or the record player. That moment sparked a lifelong love affair with music. It reaches its fullest expression yet with ‘I Am Enough of a Woman,’ the Montreal singer’s debut EP, led by the soaring new single “Fight for Your Life,” out now.

Kat Selah releases "Motivation," out now, a pop track built around a feisty, driving bassline that pairs sharp lyrical honesty with a defiant edge, and a title that carries a bitter double meaning once the story behind it comes into focus.

Songsmith Blake Havard Waves Heartbreak Off with A Wurlitzer Grin On "Wave Goodbye"

 The phone call came the morning after a gig. A friend of Blake Havard's had just caught a Seattle songwriter named Pete Droge in concert, and he couldn't wait to report back. "He said, 'I saw this Pete Droge guy last night and he was just like you!'" Havard remembers. That tip set off one of the happiest creative partnerships of his career, and it finally reaches listeners with "Wave Goodbye," a warm, rootsy and wonderfully wry song about letting go.

Long before Nashville, there was a stack of old cassette tapes in a Manitoba home.

Her soulful new single “Common Ground” is out now, the first taste of her third album, ‘From Now On,’ arriving February 26, 2027.
