BRANDI CARLILE – “LIFE ON THE RUN”

Brandi Carlile has launched a new partnership with the National Park Foundation with her new single, which she wrote with Aaron Desnner and produced with Dessner and Andrew Watt. “Our national parks are the heart and soul of our nation,” she says. “Even in our darkest days when we need a North Star, we need to look no further than the Olympic Peninsula, Yosemite, or the Canyonlands. The Gemini energy that pulls me back to the wild time and time again is something I’ve learned to embrace with music, and honestly every part of who I am. I’m not the only one. The wilderness calls on us all to return to ourselves, and the National Park Foundation reminds us that we have a shared duty to protect these sacred spaces. We all come from the lost and found…to the great unknown.”

ABSOLUTE LILT – “P STANDS FOR PADDY”

Irish duo Absolute Lilt — Lisa Canny and Niamh Hinchy — have signed to Heavenly Recordings and released their first single for label. “P Stands for Paddy” mixes traditional Irish music with modern R&B. They say of the song and video: “Lilting is nonsense, quite literally. For the music video we wanted to capture the essence of Irish nonsense at its best so we created ‘The Fairest Man’ concept, inspired by Ireland’s love for a kitch & very-country pageant. Think Father Ted in 2026! Our director Olivia Mcloughin knew exactly how to bring the idea to screen and absolutely smashed it! And as for the all star cast, they had us rolling around laughing from the second the filming started. We hope everyone loves it as much as we do!” The song is on their Criostal EP that’s out July 31.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has shared the first single off her new album RUIN: IT’S NOT JUST MUSIC , due out October 2 via Someone Special. “I decided to make a f#%* you album,” she writes. “Not to you — but for you 🙃 A record that creates space for catharsis. Physical music for inner worlds. Music that feels like a sonic force field. Ruin lives in that moment where everything breaks and something else asserts itself. It’s music for the shock and the aftershock. This is not ambient. 174bpm.”
