Rendition Appears on Upcoming
Willie Nelson Tribute Album
Always Will Be Out April 25th

Today, Academy Award-nominated actress and singer Amy Irving has shared “If You Want Me To Love You I Will,” the latest single from her forthcoming album Always Will Be, out April 25 via Queen Of The Castle Records/Missing Piece Records. Originally written by Willie Nelson for Irving to sing in their 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose, this infectious punk-rock revamp arrives with a high-octane music video featuring styling and makeup by singer-songwriter Shamir. The new song was featured at People who spoke with Irving about Always Will Be and praised its “kaleidoscope of different genres.” “If You Want Me To Love You I Will” is one of many renditions from her longtime friend Nelson’s iconic catalog that comprises her new album, with special guests including Steve Earle, Amy Helm, Louis Cato, Chris Pierce, Lizzie No and Nelson himself.

I had so much fun shooting this video and giving this song new life for my album.” “I feel so incredibly honored to have been asked to style and do makeup for Amy and the band,” says Shamir. “Being trans myself, it was important to me to use this opportunity to spotlight a trans designer. Everyone in the band is wearing a top designed by Philadelphia-based trans designer Allegra Pronesti, and the white balaclava Jules [Goolis] wears was hand-crocheted by me mere days before the shoot.” “What Amy and Goolis did with this song is nothing short of alchemy and I felt so lucky to be able to direct this video,” says Gabriel Barreto. “We were honored to have Shamir Bailey come in to do styling and makeup that frankly gave the video a texture and tone I only saw in my head at first, and Shamir made that a reality. Between getting to shoot this at Brooklyn’s Spaceman Sound (where we cut the record), having my friends Francis Ceschin as cinematographer, and Shamir creating the looks with Jules Bartkowski (Goolis himself) editing, this was an embarrassment of riches as a director.” “If You Want Me To Love You I Will” follows the tender “I Wish I Didn’t Love You So” (feat. Steve Earle) and the bittersweet “Always Will Be” (feat. Amy Helm), which garnered praise from Variety, Holler, The Bluegrass Situation and more. The origin of Always Will Be begins with Irving and Nelson’s decades-long friendship after meeting while shooting Honeysuckle Rose. Following a duet reimagining of his song “I’m Waiting Forever,” Nelson proposed that Irving record an album entirely of his work. She took him up on the offer, collaborating again with bandleader Goolis (Jules David Bartkowski) for these 10 genre-defying tracks. Over Irving’s prolific career, she has been heralded as a “revelation” by Time, while Variety dubbed her “a gifted stage actress of uncompromising integrity.” In February, her beloved, critically acclaimed film Crossing Delancey was added to the Criterion Collection. She recently spoke with Vulture about “the New York rom-com classic” and this prestigious honor. Always Will Be Tracklist: 1. It’s a Dream Come True (feat. Lizzie No) 2. Yesterday’s Wine (feat. Goolis) 3. I Guess I've Come to Live Here In Your Eyes (feat. Chris Pierce) 4. I'd Have To Be Crazy 5. If You Want Me to Love You I Will 6. I Wish I Didn't Love You So (feat. Steve Earle) 7. Getting Over You (feat. Goolis) 8. Everywhere I Go (feat. Louis Cato) 9. Always Will Be (feat. Amy Helm) 10. Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground (feat. Willie Nelson) https://www.amyirvingmusic.com

Lucette Rodeo Clown

Lucette Finds Herself On The Wrong Side Of The Joke In Slow-Burn Single "Rodeo Clown" New EP Nice Girl From The Suburbs Out This Month Lucette will play a special hometown show at Edmonton's Double Dragon on April 24, followed by a performance in Calgary on May 2.

March 2025 – Canadian singer-songwriter Lucette shares the slow-burn single "Rodeo Clown" ahead of her new EP Nice Girl From The Suburbs releasing this month Co-written with producer Soren Hansen (New Politics, Elle King, Sam Palladio), "Rodeo Clown" finds Lucette on the wrong side of the joke as opportunities pass to the steady beat of anthemic dream pop synths. 

'Rodeo Clown' is about feeling like despite giving it your all, you won’t succeed," says Lucette. "Even if you have the same bruises and failures as the ones that have seen glory. It’s about feeling unseen while still admitting to your faults." 

Continuing the musical inclinations Lucette (aka Lauren Gillis) first began exploring on her acclaimed 2019 release Deluxe Hotel Room, Nice Girl From the Suburbs is brimming with self-awareness and a sense of shared humanity. The six-song EP mixes self-pity with clever self-deprecation, as the wry observer in Lucette turns her sharply intuitive eye onto herself. She has previously shared three singles from the EP, including a pedal-steel-filled boot-stomper filtered through a slacker-pop lens called “Back in the Blue” (feat. Mariel Buckley), and “Heading for the End,” which finds her living in the complexity of being human while still resisting people-pleasing stereotypes. The latest single “Too Soon For Sorry” starts out as a yearning love song before building to a frenzy of fuzzed out guitar wails, and Atwood Magazine called it "the kind of cathartic confessional that sends shivers down the spine"

Hailing from Alberta, Canada, Lucette initially captured attention when she released her 2014 Dave Cobb-produced debut Black is the Color, with NPR Music naming her a must-see act. Her follow-up Deluxe Hotel Room was produced by Grammy-winning artist Sturgill Simpson and garnered praise from Paste, NPR Music, Billboard and Rolling Stone, who called it “a bold expansion of Lucette’s melodic sensibilities with arrangements that avoid the rootsy cliches of Americana music.” Nice Girl From The Suburbs further expands those sonic influences as Lucette pulls from ‘90s dream pop and alt rock, while still remaining wholly present and relevant for these anxiety-inducing times. 

Nice Girl From The Suburbs Tracklist
1. Too Soon For Sorry
2. Back in the Blue
3. True Devotion 
4. Heading for the End 
5. Rodeo Clown 
6. Wasted Monday

Taylor Rae - Telluride (feat. Sierra Hull)

March 2025 - Austin-based singer/songwriter Taylor Rae unveiled today her new single “Telluride” featuring a guest appearance by Grammy-nominated artist Sierra Hull. 

Watch Video Here

The latest to release off her new album The Void (due out April 18th), the track arrives on the heels of her debut at SXSW, which prompted NPR Music to name her to their Best of SXSW 2025 list and Austin Monthly to feature her as a Must-See Local Artist at SXSW 2025. With a bluegrass-tinge and steady groove, “Telluride” is a windows-down, road-wary anthem that calls to mind the likes of Petty’s “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” or Zeppelin’s “Going to California.” It was featured on Relix who raved “‘Telluride’ is easy listening and an ideal track for a journey on the road or of the heart.”

JAPANESE BREAKFAST NEW ALBUM FOR MELANCHOLY BRUNETTES (& SAD WOMEN) OUT NOW VIA DEAD OCEANS WATCH VIDEO FOR ALBUM HIGHLIGHT “PICTURE WINDOW” 2025 TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

Photo Credit: Pak Bae

Japanese Breakfast releases her anticipated new album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), today via Dead Oceans along with a cinematic video directed by Michelle Zauner for album standout “Picture Window.” Produced by Grammy Award winner Blake Mills — an innovator of uncommon subtlety, known for his work with everyone from Bob Dylan to Fiona Apple and quietly regarded as many a legacy artist’s favorite guitar player — and tracked at the venerable Sound City in Los Angeles — the record sees Zauner pull back from the bright extroversion that defined its predecessor Jubilee to examine the darker waves that roil within, the moody, fecund field of melancholy, long held to be the psychic state of poets on the verge of inspiration. The result is an artistic statement of purpose: a mature, intricate, contemplative work that conjures the romantic thrill of a gothic novel.  “Over the course of promoting this new album I’ve often been asked to clarify the difference between melancholy and sadness. I think of melancholy as a kind of anticipatory grief, one that comes from an acknowledgment of the passage of time, from the recognition of mortality and finitude. In some way, too, I think it marks the artist’s condition, constantly observing through that lens,” Zauner says of the album. “‘Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy,’ Virginia Woolfe writes. I wanted this album to capture the moments where that knife slips. When people want too much, when they cede to temptation, when they are seduced and punished.” Japanese Breakfast will be celebrating the album’s release by playing a sold out album release recital tomorrow, March 22nd at El Museo del Barrio in New York. Their tour in support of For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women) kicks off with a performance at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA and continues with headline shows across North America and Europe this year. The Melancholy Tour is the band’s first tour in three years, following the Jubilee Tour in 2022. All tour dates can be found below and tickets are on-sale now via japanesebreakfast.rocks. WATCH THE “PICTURE WINDOW” VIDEO

Michelle Zauner on “Picture Window”: “Ever since I was a young girl I’ve dealt with intrusive thoughts of loved ones dying horrible deaths. When someone is running late or they’ve neglected a text or even if they’re just looking over a balcony, my mind has a tendency to run to the worst case scenario, a reflex only exacerbated by my experience of many real deaths. It can be both a relief and a struggle to love someone who doesn’t share this same proclivity for anxiety. Picture Window explores that dynamic. We shot the video while I was living in Seoul last year. My idea was to follow a couple, constantly tracking left to right, as one partner charges boldly forward and the other, progressively anxious, becomes increasingly reluctant to follow. When I met Omega from Balming Tiger, I knew immediately he would be perfect for the first role, his energy and charm were so readily apparent. Gyuri Kim, with her feeling for melancholy and uncertainty, turned out to be a wonderful counterpart. I wanted this video to feel like a short film, and watching it back, it’s bittersweet to look back on my year abroad—the wonderful people I met, the neighborhoods I loved and lived in. The constant tracking from left to right is a reminder of how time continues to pass no matter how forcefully you struggle to beat it back or rush to get ahead of it. I watch out the window as the scenery passes, visualizing all my unlived lives swishing past.” TOUR DATES: See website japanesebreakfast.rocks * w/ Ginger Root # w/ Minhwi Lee ^ w/ Tomper WATCH THE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED VIDEOS FOR “ORLANDO IN LOVE” & “MEGA CIRCUIT”

Though Zauner has experimented with science fiction on Soft Sounds from Another Planet and buoyant surrealism on Jubilee, the landscape of European Romanticism that underpins For Melancholy Brunettes and the dense tissue of classical allusion that comes with it marks new territory for a songwriter entering her artistic maturity. She credits a range of antecedents with inspiration. The forlorn café girl in Degas’ “L’absinthe”. The seascapes of Caspar David Friedrich. The passionate longing and wild, undulating moors in Wuthering Heights. Hans Castorp wrapped in his camel hair blanket, dreaming on the Berghof balcony. It is an atmosphere made palpable by the intricate, interlocking guitar arrangements that accompany much of the record, lapping like waves over the meter, often as oblique in their expression of the chord as Zauner can be in her polyvalence of feeling and insight. Sadness is the dominant emotional key of this record, but it is sadness of a rarified form: the pensive, prescient sadness of melancholy, in which the recognition of life’s essentially tragic character occurs with sensitivity to its fleeting beauty. Zauner finds space enough inside it for glimmers of hope. They are the consolations of mortals that poets before her have called out to and that poets after will continue to rediscover: love and labor, and though they run like tonic resolutions through the record’s many episodes.
