As artists, we're wired to stretch beyond expectations and boundaries, not because of what the world will think, but because it's what we must do, and sometimes, our art shocks people... I want to throw it back to my old hometown of Atlanta. One of the amazing things about Atlanta is its diverse music scene and culture, including amazing Rap duo, Outkast. We all know and love their high-energy club jams, we all like to "shake it like a Polaroid picture". Andre 3000 (with erstwhile partner BigBoi, he's half of Outkast) announced a new solo record, his first in 17 years. That would be amazing news, but here's what stopped me. Andre's album 'New Blue Sun' is entirely a vehicle for his instrumental Flute music... I've been fascinated lately by the idea that nobody is ever limited to our idea of them. Everyone is a complex, unique individual that we only know a tiny piece of. Andre 3000 might hold a very particular image in your mind, and I'd bet it does not include an extended Flute exploration. Andre is dead serious about this album and his craft. The interviews with him explaining his fascination with wind instruments and the inspiration for this album are amazing. Andre's flute album is streaming now, and getting good reviews, check it out. FunFact: In the 2000's, Outkast was regularly seen attending shows featuring local Rock bands in Atlanta clubs, for no reason other than to check out the music. I always thought that was cool. #innovation #leadership #authenticity #thursdayvibes

New Post: Future Islands – ‘People Who Aren’t There Anymore’ review: sedate rather than soul-stirring - https://lnkd.in/gwPcJ5zs - Future Islands have long blended moments of bliss and ecstasy with heartbreak. They thrive in this gap: the thoroughline of Baltimore band’s music is that their transcendent, New Wave-inspired songs have a tendency to end with a positive resolution, even if it doesn’t quite look that way in the beginning. The prevailing mood is of self-belief. READ MORE: Future Islands want to know what comes next Having emerged in the early 2010s, some of the quartet’s biggest singles – particularly the masterful ‘Seasons (Waiting On You)’, which NME declared the best song of 2014 – continue to soundtrack exhilarating highs, both on-screen and at festivals across the globe. Most recently, the track was used in Season Two of British LGBTQ+ comedy Big Boys, heightening the emotion and romance of a pivotal scene that depicted the overwhelming feelings that emerge as a new relationship begins to cement itself. Cynicism, therefore, has traditionally been absent in the world of Future Islands. Yet on the band’s seventh LP ‘People Who Aren’t There Anymore’, themes of divorce, grief and desperation loom large, inspired by breakups that both lead vocalist Samuel T Herring and bassist William Cashion have recently gone through. It feels appropriate that they would emerge from a period of personal upheaval with tracks that consider the cathartic potential of change, then. Album highlight ‘Thief’, a true meeting of music and message, pairs breathless confessions with a kinetic percussion section. “The pain is never ending / But I’m forgiving, at least,” Herring sings. ‘Peach’, ‘The Tower’ and ‘Say Goodbye’ are all classic Future Islands offerings, using upbeat textures from ‘80s pop and roaring to life off the back of a muscular groove or drum kick. The effect is warm but unshakably familiar, and it means that individual moments shine a little less: only the dusky atmospherics of ‘Deep In The Night’ feel like a true outlier here. There’s no question that Herring still writes songs capable of evoking strong emotions, but this time around they can occasionally feel too twinkly and repetitive. What’s missing is some risk-taking; unpredictable production flourishes that could better reflect the overall mood of the album and all the ambiguities that accompany a major life change. That’s why ‘People Who Aren’t There Anymore’ just falls short of its goal of becoming a transformative record for the band. It has its winning moments – ‘Iris’ pulls off a tricky balance of being irresistibly catchy and yet moving – but as big new beginnings go, Future Islands deliver a streamlined version. Details Release date: January 26 Record label: 4AD The post Future Islands – ‘People Who Aren’t There Anymore’ review: sedate rather than soul-stirring appeared

The Reunion of Linkin Park: New life for an Iconic Band Linkin Park, a band that has profoundly impacted the music scene and the lives of countless fans, is reportedly reuniting. This news is significant not only for the band's legacy but also for the ongoing conversation about mental health and suicide awareness. The band's journey has been marked by both incredible achievements and heartbreaking loss, particularly with the tragic passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017.. The themes in Linkin Park's music often delve into mental health struggles, making them a powerful voice in the conversation about suicide awareness. Songs like "Breaking the Habit" and "Heavy" articulate feelings of despair and the battle against inner demons. For many fans, these lyrics have provided a sense of understanding and a lifeline during their darkest moments. The loss of Chester Bennington serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing mental health openly and compassionately. Many fans have shared how Linkin Park's music helped them navigate their own struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts. The band has inspired countless individuals to seek help and find healthier coping mechanisms, emphasizing that they are not alone in their battles. Losing a loved one to suicide leaves an indelible mark on those left behind. The pain can feel overwhelming, creating a void that is hard to fill. However, through shared experiences and music, there is an opportunity for healing. As Linkin Park prepares for their reunion, it is crucial to remember the power of music as a healing tool. The band's return can reignite conversations about mental health and encourage fans to support one another. For those who have experienced loss or are struggling with mental health issues, it is essential to reach out for help. Whether through therapy, support groups, or simply talking to friends and family, there are resources available to help navigate these challenges. #musicsaveslife #suicideawareness #youarenotalone #missyou 💔
With a new lineup, new tour, new album and new collective outlook, Linkin Park is BACK. Seven years after pressing pause following the tragic death of singer Chester Bennington, one of the biggest rock groups of the 21st century is releasing their eighth studio album, 'From Zero,' on Nov. 15 — with returning members Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda, Dave Farrell and Joe Hahn, alongside newcomers Colin Brittain as drummer/co-producer and Emily Armstrong (of Dead Sara) as co-vocalist. "It’s Chester’s voice, and it’s mine, but I want it to still feel the way I feel when I listen to [older songs], because that’s what the fans love," Armstrong said of prepping to hit the stage with the band's classic music. "There is a passion to it that I’m hoping I can fill." Learn all about the big comeback in their global exclusive Billboard digital cover story: http://blbrd.cm/ZN6cYuR

Building a Lego house with my 3.11 year old+ Host of the Coffee By Two Podcast + late bloomer + neurodivergent
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁-𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀-𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 Back in the day when music was consumed via cassettes and CDs, there was a concept of an A-side and a B-side. In simple terms, the A-side song was the one record executives put their money on to become a hit and the B-side was deemed less commercially viable. Remixes, extended and instrumental versions, all of these fell under the B-side. These were also called 'Bonus Tracks’. Essentially, they weren’t the main tracks that the artist and record company wanted to promote. At the same time, some of the biggest hits were actually envisioned as B-sides. That is, they were released as a B-side to a track that they thought would be more popular. Here is a sample list of songs that were originally B-sides but went onto become massive hits. Some of them will surprise you: Queen — We Will Rock You (released as a B-side to We are the champions) The Rolling Stones — You Can’t Always Get What You Want (B-side to Honky Tonk Women) Green Day — Time Of Your Life (B-side on their Insomniac album) The Beatles — Strawberry fields forever (B-side to Penny Lane) The Righteous Brothers — Unchained Melody (B-side to Hung on You) This is an abridged list and goes to show one thing — how hard it is to predict which song will be a hit. Probably you don't have a hit of whatever it is you're creating, 𝘺𝘦𝘵. It could do with some more perfecting and adhering to algorithmic norms. Or probably you've done your best (at this moment) and just need to put it out and let the world decide. #work #hit #perfectionism

Ever wondered what resilience sounds like? The Ghost Inside is back, proving once again that music is not just an art form but a journey of recovery, adaptation, and sheer perseverance. Their new album, "Searching For Solace," is set to electrify the airwaves with its digital release on April 19, followed by a physical release on June 7, all through Epitaph Records. The lead single, "Wash It Away," comes with a music video that's as visually captivating as the song is emotionally stirring. It's a deep dive into themes of impermanence and the relentless pursuit of starting over, set against the backdrop of a torrential downpour and underwater scenes that you have to see to believe. This album marks a significant milestone for The Ghost Inside, coming four years after their self-titled album and nine years after a severe bus crash that forever changed their lives. It's a testament to the band's unbreakable spirit, exploring the cyclical nature of life's highs and lows and the ongoing quest for happiness. "Wash It Away" is more than just a song; it's a narrative of resilience, a reminder that happiness is a journey, not a destination. With a blend of aggressive metalcore and melodic songwriting, "Searching For Solace" promises to be an extension of The Ghost Inside's legacy of honesty, vulnerability, and evolution. For the full story and to catch the music video, head over to [Amnplify](https://lnkd.in/gZmNXr-Z).

Inspired by John Dyer’s post about overcoming loss, here’s a story for the weekend about Love Shack by the B-52s. Now, back in the mid to late 1970s in Athens, Georgia a group of friends who didn’t have enough money for food shared a flaming volcano cocktail. Afterwards they went to a friend’s house and jammed. Switching instruments and roles they ignited a fire in each other. Soon this group of friends were playing at College parties and one day the guitarist, Ricky Wilson, wrote a catchy riff that would become a song called Rock Lobster. The band were suddenly thrust into the limelight. Bowie and Lennon praised the song and they did a standout performance on SNL that led to tours of Australia and Europe. The band released a couple of follow up albums but during the recording of their album Bouncing Off Satellites, Ricky discovered he had AIDS… a diagnosis he kept from the rest of the band including his sister Cindy. Ricky died before the release of the album and the band went into hiatus. I suspect many had written them off but the drummer Keith Strickland learnt how to play in Ricky’s unique style and became chief songwriter. The band went back into the studio and recorded an album called Cosmic Thing which yielded the track Love Shack… which was a huge global hit. Their biggest yet. Interestingly they wouldn’t be the first or last band to lose a member and turn adversity into success. The Shamen did it after member Will Sinnott sadly drowned. Feeder did it after drummer Jon Lee died. And famously the Manic Street Preachers achieved wider recognition after losing Richie. It’s clear that whatever the loss, it can stir something in us that helps us create something wonderful. And with that I’ll avoid a ‘top voice’ business or life lesson and leave you with Love Shack! Btw… my favourite B-52s song is the amazing Give Me Back My Man. Altogether now… The love shack is a little old place where… Happy Friday. #creativity #advertising #marketing

Recently, the music world witnessed an intriguing turn of events with Drake, one of the most influential artists of our time. After releasing his much-anticipated album "For All My Dogs," Drake announced a hiatus from music. This move sent ripples through the industry. However, in a surprising twist, he returned only weeks later with an extended version of the album featuring half a dozen new tracks. These tracks were not only recorded post-album release but also surpassed the original album's quality in a mere two-week creative burst. This phenomenon is a fascinating study of spontaneity, creativity, and the pursuit of passion, reminiscent of Jay Z's creation of "The Black Album." Drake's sudden return and adding new songs to "For All My Dogs" presents a unique case of creative spontaneity. While the original album was a year in the making, the extended tracks were a product of an unplanned, intense two-week session. Interestingly, these tracks have been regarded as superior to the rest of the album. This raises questions about the nature of creativity and whether the best work stems from prolonged effort or spontaneous inspiration. This scenario mirrors Jay Z's approach to "The Black Album," which was completed in just four months. Jay Z's process from inception to production was a whirlwind of inspiration and passion, starkly contrasting the typically laborious process of album creation. This comparison underscores an essential truth about creativity: sometimes, the most impactful work emerges from a place of genuine enthusiasm and unforced creativity. The case of Drake's extended album offers broader insights into life and career choices. It's a vivid reminder that pursuits driven by passion and joy often yield more fulfilling results than those born from obligation or forced effort. In both Drake's and Jay Z's cases, their most authentic and resonant work came from a place of spontaneous inspiration, aligning with their true passions. Drake's unexpected return with an extended version of "For All My Dogs" is a compelling example of the power of spontaneous creativity. It challenges conventional notions of artistic process and highlights the importance of following one's heart. This lesson extends beyond music, offering a valuable career and life choices perspective. Ultimately, Drake and Jay Z's experiences remind us that the most rewarding paths are often those taken not out of necessity but out of genuine love and enthusiasm for the work. #drake #jayz #creativityunleashed

New Post: Charli XCX says ‘Brat’ summer isn’t dead – teases new music: “See u next week” - https://lnkd.in/gecse3Zn - Brat summer isn’t dead – not according to Charli XCX anyway. READ MORE: It’s Charli XCX’s world and we’re just living in it: a timeline of ‘Brat’ summer so far The artist’s seventh album ‘Brat’ has been at the centre of its own cultural phenomenon since it was released last month. Its simple lime green artwork became a meme, while fans on social media have embraced the record’s hedonistic aesthetic and attitude. The autobiographical lyrics have also been subject to widespread fascination, particularly related to ‘Sympathy is a Knife’ and ‘Girl, So Confusing’, where Charli acknowledges her anxieties and difficult feelings towards other women in pop. However, some outlets – including Pitchfork, Dazed, and ANTIART – declared that ‘Brat summer’ was dead after it took a political turn. Charli XCX tweeted “Kamala IS brat”, following Joe Biden endorsing Kamala Harris as his successor in the 2024 US presidential race, leading to political pundits embarrassingly trying and failing to explain the ‘Brat’ phenomenon. Pitchfork suggested that ‘Brat’ summer died on July 21, the day of Charli’s aforementioned tweet, “at 80 days old”, adding: “While we mourn its loss, Brat Summer’s legacy will live on in white powders on dirty toilet seats, weekend hangovers that last until the following Friday, and of course, being So Julia, a sibling of Brat Summer that survived the worst of its online devastation.” Now, Charli has had her say, while also teasing more new music to come next week. Sharing screenshots of posts by the outlets that suggested Brat summer was a dead trend, she wrote on Instagram: “oh? see you next week.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Charli \(\@charli_xcx\) In addition, there are rumours that she has collaborated with Chappell Roan, which ignited after the artist shared a photo of herself holding a ‘Brat’ CD.

Kicking off at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on September 14, the duo will make their way across the country making stops in major cities such as Toronto, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Denver, Los Angeles and more. Speaking about the ‘Sweat’ tour to Billboard, Charli opened up about their plans so far. She explained: “We’ve kind of just begun to nail down exactly what we want production wise…at the moment we’re very much in fantasy world of all the things possible. Can we put a cage through the middle of t

This album isn't just super good music; it's Elton and Bernie's musical autobiography, resonating with the raw, unfilteredness of their journey. Here, they chart the highs of hope and the lows of despair, crafting a truly mythic story from their real-life hurdles—from frustration and longing to sheer determination. To me, the album feels free and relaxed. At the same time, I feel the gritty voice that carries the weight of lived experiences. It's this realness that speaks to me lately, a reminder of the power of embracing our whole story, even the sticky parts. Each note and lyric tells a story of facing life's trials with integrity and turning each struggle into a step toward success.
