Artist of the Month Raffaella Wants to Be as Honest as a Kid
Artist of the Month is an accolade bestowed upon an up-and-coming musician or group who is poised for the big time. For August 2022, we interview singer and songwriter Raffaella about her brand new mini album, LIVE, RAFF, LOVE (Act I). Upon entering Raffaella’s childhood home in New York City last weekend, a few things stand out to me: The walls are covered nearly inch-to-inch with both art and musical instruments, signed photographs and records decorate the hallways, and the busied look of the apartment feels quintessentially New York. Today, however, Raffaella is merely a visitor in her old abode — and she’s brought an exciting and radiant new collection of songs home with her. This Friday (August 12th), Raffaella — who is Consequence‘s August Artist of the Month — will release her ...
Alice Merton Shares Origins of New Song “Loveback”: Exclusive
Our recurring new music series Origins is where artists can reveal the stories behind their latest release. Today, Mom + Pop artist Alice Merton shares “Loveback.” Alice Merton is today sharing the latest preview of her forthcoming S.I.D.E.S. LP with the single “Loveback.” “Loveback” serves as the opening salvo on the singer-songwriter’s sophomore full-length.

I was never dependent on anyone or anything, even...

Twenty One Pilots performed an inventive cover of Elton John‘s “Bennie and the Jets” on Sunday as part of their set for AT&T Playoff Playlist. Calling it his dad’s “favorite song,” singer Tyler Joseph first kicked off the number with a verse and chorus of “Mulberry Street,” from the band’s latest album Scaled and Icy, before transitioning into the 1973 classic. “Hey kids, shake it loose together/ The spotlight’s hitting something/ That’s been known to change the weather/ We’ll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around/ You’re gonna hear electric music/ Solid walls of sound/ Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen her yet?/ Oh, but they’re so spaced out/ B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets,” he sang, vamping on the piano while bandmate Josh Dun commanded the drums.

Lydia Ainsworth Gets Lost in a Pop Dream on New Single “Cosmic Dust”: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-05T14:03:04+00:00“>May 5, 2021 | 10:03am ET Avant-pop artist Lydia Ainsworth has shared a new single called “Cosmic Dust”. It’s from her upcoming album Sparkles & Debris. Stream it below. Musically, “Cosmic Dust” sees Ainsworth doing what she does best: infusing a pop song structure with futuristic flair, heavenly instrumental flourishes, and skipping from one falsetto to the next with ease. It’s breezy and anthemic, but Ainsworth manages to sneak great, intimate details into the mix despite that, like harp notes and gentle piano notes that descend one after the other. This is the third single Ainsworth has shared from Sparkles & Debris so far. It follows the retro lead s...

Mina Tindle Teams with Sufjan Stevens for New Song “Give a Little Love”: Stream
French singer-songwriter Mina Tindle, a.k.a. Pauline de Lassus Saint-Geniès, may be known to many for her collaborations with The National. She is, after all, married to the band’s Bryce Dessner, and appeared frequently on I Am Easy to Find and its subsequent tour. Now, she’s expanding her indie reach with her new album, SISTER, and its latest single, “Give a Little Love” featuring Sufjan Stevens. Lonesome but sweet, “Give a Little Love” flows along gently reverberating guitars and piano notes that seem to coo under Tindle’s voice. The track was written, arranged, and produced by Stevens, and he also contributed subtle backing vocals, adding to the song’s warm feel. “I have always deeply loved Sufjan Stevens music,” Tindle said in a press statement. ”His words and melodies have resonated i...
