Is the song connected to whatever's happening on LG7? "Absolutely. "Die With a Smile" is on my record — it's a huge part of my album. It was like this missing piece. The record is full of my love of music — so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams. It leaps around genre in a way that's almost corrupt. And it ends with love. That's the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love. Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past — almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life. But it ends in this very happy place." Lady Gaga on Coachella, LG7 and 'Die With a Smile' - Los Angeles Times

A thread for all of ATRL's musicians to share their singles, albums, and other musical releases Don't spam a release. One post per single/album is enough If you don't have anything positive to say about a member's music, keep it to yourself

A detailed new report in Harper's Magazine has alleged that Spotify is seeding some of its biggest playlists with what are known as "ghost artists," a small group of musicians who create large amounts of music to be distributed across the platform. According to writer Liz Pelly's report, the music provided through this method is subject to lower royalty rates and helps boost the streaming company's profit margins. The report suggests that the practice is most rife across instrumental-heavy playlists focused on genres such as lo-fi hip-hop, jazz, ambient, and classical. The playlist Deep Focus, with over 4.5 million subscribers, is among those namechecked in the article as relying on what is known internally as Perfect Fit Content. PFC was first introduced in 2017 with partners creating music to be shared across hundreds of artist profiles, many of which are otherwise empty. The appeal being that fewer royalties are paid out to real artists, with the money instead going to the PFC partners. It is alleged that around 20 songwriters are behind the work of more than five hundred "artists," with their streaming numbers in the millions.

Is it worth the price?

Fresh from announcing the first wave of bands for Bludfest 2025, YUNGBLUD has revealed he's going to be busy next year releasing new music, too. A few months ago, the musician told Kerrang! that he wanted to "make a straight down the middle classic rock record that sounds like what the **** Zeppelin would sound like in 2025", adding that it's "deep and it's mental – it's a ******* rock opera". Now, in an interview with NME, YUNGBLUD says the follow-up to 2022's self-titled third LP "looks like it's going to be a double album" – so we're assuming putting it together has gone pretty well, then… Detailing the positivity within the forthcoming release, he reveals that, "The new album centres around the idea of self-love and self-reclamation that allows people to feel seen, and emit this light. You can be seen for who you truly are, no matter where you're from or what you believe. It's been at the centre of this culture since the beginning of it. Whoever you are, you're ******* welcome here, as long as you are ******* loving. That's what I needed to write an album about. "A lot of people have had a lot of opinions about me, and I would lie to you when I said I wouldn't give a ****. But for the first time in my life, I think I'm starting to actually like myself. I've always written from a period of hatred towards myself. I made a ******* rock opera double album that has no limitations towards imagination." https://www.kerrang.com/yungblud-i-made-a-f-cking-rock-opera-double-album

Very beautiful visuals and 17 pages all together Magazine & issue 33 Loreen (scroll a bit down in the link) Skip to Loreen article on page 50 talks about, self love, Eurovision, image etc The article mentions the project in Iceland with Olafur Arnalds also, page 55: ... we talk on a call shortly after our electrifying photoshoot. Meanwhile, Loreen is already off to Iceland, working on, as she reveals, a project with Olafur Arnalds, about which she claims to be more than excited. About the album, page 60: She's found the ideal treatment in her music. Another dose is coming soon - a full album. With every project being so personally inspired, what does this one stand for? "Each song is a representation of triggering a shock. It's a very fiery one. It's very energetic, but it has a very clear narrative: ... I'm presenting chaos and harmony. It's because I believe you have to go through that chaos and be honest about it for you to really get to that point of balance..... So there's a lot of, let's say, aggression in the album, as well as vulnerability - both sides; because it is a reflection of a person.... My whole point is that chaos is necessary. ... You should really be thankful for the traumas that have come into your life because those are key to your development. Use it the right way, instead of being like 'ahh, why did this happen to me?' ... There needs to be a sort of respect through the traumas. ... There's yin and yang; there's up and down; there is light, there is darkness; those dualities, opposites in everything."

She said in her Rolling Stone interview that she had almost completed an album in 2023, before she shelved that, to make 'un mechón de pelo', as an outcome of her mental health and personal struggles at the time. She continued making it through her 2023 tour until early 2024. Album was released in April 2024; was very against the grain in terms of her commercial-sounding music. What she is teasing and referring to is likely the album that was "meant" to initially be her fifth album. There were rumors and reports of a couple of collaborations (Young Miko, Kenia Os, Ludmilla) on that one. She said in her phone call on the podcast Rumis that there's less time pending for it; it's approaching. Update (Nov 22): Her official website was finally updated after YEARS of it being left as its 2018 version. It contains a countdown to December 5, with speculation of the first preview coming out on November 29!
