Look out for Natalie Gish and the track The End Of Something Good.

Natalie says, “I wrote The End Of Something Good at that time in my life when there was a lot of things that were coming to an end. Even though this person or this thing has been the best thing that has ever happened to you, sometimes you have to close the chapter for you to be able to grow”

The Nashville based artist just released her debut EP filled with heartfelt tracks. She cites Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, and Billie Eilish as influences. The EP which comes over just 13 minutes comprises of Say Goodbye, Just Strangers, The End of Something Good, and Where I Was Before.

Following the release of her debut EP, Natalie quickly garnered support from Pop Wrapped, CelebMix, Music-News, and Skope Mag.

Olivia Rodrigo departs with her longtime manager Kristen Smith.

Why do managers and artist that begin their journey together often part ways after a successful venture?

I’m not speculating at all on Olivia Rodrigo’s relationship with her manager.

It’s not uncommon that rising artists and managers split shortly after a radio hit and a tour. Both didn’t know what to expect and it’s all new. What started out as fun turns into a high pressure environment.

At times, the tour manager falls into the role of an artist manager eventually replacing the artist manager altogether. They have all the connections on the road and that’s where you want to live. But tour managers may not be very savvy in business deals and may not make great representation for the artist.

Everyone is offering their opinion. Ask any overnight sensation act. From make up artists to producers, label heads to agents, friends to mum and dad. It becomes confusing and distracting throwing things off course.

And then you have poachers and agents making secret phone calls to the artist selling them the dreams, something more on a grande scale hoping to lure them away. An 18 year old who never made a trip around the globe can easily be led away by smooth talkers.

Neil Young has demanded for his songs to be pulled from Spotify because they host Joe Rogan’s Experience, a popular podcast. The folk singer wants Joe Rogan banned.

Young asked his management team and record label to remove his music.

Young wrote, “Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.”

Spotify can have “Joe Rogan or Young. Not both,”

“By allowing the propagation of false and societally harmful assertions, Spotify is enabling its hosted media to damage public trust in scientific research and sow doubt in the credibility of data-driven guidance offered by medical professionals,” the letter stated.

Check out the podcast now up on Spotify. In the first episode with David Bendeth we discuss why The Rolling Stones gave k.d. Lange songwriting credit and how Paramore avoided a nightmare scenario along with other crazy stories.

Look out for Ea Othilde and the track Back To You. You’ll love if you like lo-fi, folk, indie rock. Think Clairo meets Lana Del Rey.

The rising artist from Norway has been writing songs since she was 11 years old, and she started working on her debut-EP when she was 15 with producer Hans Olav Settem.

“The song is about putting yourself first and cutting toxic people out of your life” says Othilde.

Ea Othilde takes cues from Elliott Smith, PJ Harvey and early Bon Iver. The lyrics revolve around dysfunctional relationships and ‘the fear of missing out’ in her adolescent years.
