Nashville-based singer/songwriter Lydia Luce shares her new single "Wisteria," a dreamy celebration of hope and the space to change. Produced by Jordan Lehning (Joy Oladokun, Caitlin Rose, Kacey Musgraves) and co-written with songwriting duo Jake Finch and Collin Pastore (Lucy Dacus), the track gently wraps around Luce's vocals before building into a swell of strings as she declares "Everything seems possible / Anything is possible." The accompanying music video finds Luce exploring the English countryside after the song was recorded at Real World Studios.

Lydia Luce on the new single: "Quite often I'm at home and I hear my partner laughing or singing to himself upstairs. It makes me so happy. I sometimes can't believe we are where we are. Our relationship began with substance abuse and codependency and we have found our way to a safe and loving marriage with the help of therapy and the willingness to grow. This song is about hope and believing that change can happen. I feel that way with our relationship and with my chronic pain/injuries. It's so beautiful it makes me want to cry. We will continue to face challenges and there will be weeks of physical pain but I know we can get to the other side with time. For now it feels so good to sit on my couch with my dog and listen to Ryan sing to himself upstairs." (continue)

Rising in the South on the back of his "gigantic" personality, Big Moochie Grape reps hard for Paper Route Empire. The East Memphis rapper follows last week's release of EAT OR GET ATE 2 (DELUXE) with the video for "AB," a Deluxe highlight. Produced by King Ceeo and named after his neighborhood's Apple Blossom Drive, "AB" gives Moochie the opportunity to speed up his flow, as he flips flex-heavy triplets about his wrist, his whip, and everything in-between: "AP my wrist, could've bought me three Hemis/I'm gangster and rich, I've been labeled a menace)/I'm back in this b and I came with a vengeance," he raps. In the video, Moochie returns to his home neighborhood, flexing his "AB" chain and his AP watch as he proves who really runs the East Memphis streets.

Featuring hard-hitting production from the likes of BandPlay, King Wonka, and more, EAT OR GET ATE 2 (DELUXE) is the purest distillation yet of Moochie's relentless Tennessee trap sound, a monument to his self-made status and a chronicle of gigantic flexes. On the apocalyptic "2 Rich 2 Care," Moochie dismisses his naysayers with nonchalance, touting his wrist, "colder than a Frigidaire," while on the BandPlay-produced "No Fumbles," Moochie navigates the landmines threatening to send him back to the trap or the pen at a moment's notice. The tape features odes to Moochie's heroes, including all-Pros like "AB," legendary rappers like "Big Pun," and symbols of excellence like 3x Super Bowl winner "Patrick Mahomes," in a single praised by Billboard. Also home to the recent single "Bad Pill," EAT OR GET ATE 2 (Deluxe) is available on all platforms via Paper Route Empire. (continue)

Between fish & chips and cold pints, PAMELA found themselves locked in a studio on the fringes of The Great Escape Festival, armed with one mission: to take Blur's iconic 'Girls & Boys' and make it their own. The result? A bold, synth-drenched rework of the Britpop classic.

The British-French duo tap into their signature sound: pulsing, instinctive, and defiantly unfiltered. Retaining the cult chorus and carefree spirit of the original, PAMELA's version leans fully into the club, think '90s nostalgia with a 2025 edge. The guitars are swapped for synths, the mood is bolder, the release freer, and the beat designed to lose yourself in. PAMELA's 'Girls & Boys' isn't just a cover - it's a generational nod through a contemporary lens, as PAMELA delivers a sound that lives in the space where indie rock collides with sweaty dance floors.
