Taylor Swift never lets a good crisis goes to waste.

The indie folk singer was gifted an award for favorite pop/rock female and favorite music video for “Cardigan,” and while accepting her big win she said in a pre-recorded video.

“The reason I’m not there tonight is I’m actually recording all of my old music in the studio where we originally recorded it,” Swift said via tape. “So it’s been amazing and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”
After a year from the purchase, Justin Bieber manager Scooter Braun sold Taylor Swift’s master rights for the first six albums.
Swift learned that “under their terms Scooter Braun will continue to profit off my old musical catalog for many years.” She added, “I was hopeful and open to the possibility of a partnership with Shamrock, but Scooter’s participation is a non-starter for me.”

Take a quick trip back into the 90’s with Harry and The Chicks and the track Bow Church. It’s reminiscent of The Cardigans and The Sundays – happy pop. The East London based artist recently played live on Minga London’s IGTV stage and has previously played on BBC Essex. She was awarded the Undiscovered Live Music Project Essex Best Solo Act in 2018. The indie pop singer has garnered praise from LeFuturewave, Helen Scott, BBC Essex, and LOCK Magazine.

Lee Cole drops a new song “Do You Still Care”. The track landed on Spotify’s South Africa’s New Music Friday. The new song is his third and final release of 2020 and follows The heart breaker tune I Don’t Wanna Wait, and the positive vibes Pink Dragons. It’s a cool track and you’ll definitely connect if you’re living in limbo. Wait..aren’t we all?

Berklee student Annie Elise drops the track Open Eyes. Annie gave a talk at TEDxLancaster that became the most-watched TEDx talk on the subject of synesthesia which physically makes her see sound and hear color. The song was premiered as part of the #iVoted festival on election night 2020 where top streaming artists from swing states were asked to perform a few songs for voters.
Annie notes, “I loved being able to create sounds that produced colors I liked. It felt like being a conductor of an orchestra, except I was a conductor for color.” Influences from artists like Bad Snacks, Lila Drew, and FINNEAS helped her find a production niche in combining light vocals, live violin, and synthesizers to create music”. Check out the track on KOAR’s Indie Invader Playlist.

Despite the go ahead from the scientists, Guns N’ Roses are rolling the dice and forging ahead with a tour slated for next November. Even with a vaccine, Fauci urged that public measures should still be in place, that means masks and social distancing. I’m not sure what this will look like. Will people show up?

GNR will play shows in Australasia, beginning on November 21 at Metricon Stadium. The tour presented by TEG Dainty includes stops at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Sydney’s ANZ Stadium and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.
“Announcing an international tour of this magnitude as we come out of the most challenging year in the history of live entertainment is truly gratifying,” comments Paul Dainty, president & CEO of TEG Dainty.
“We’re all eager to return to business as usual,” he continues, “and who better to lead the charge into international stadium touring than the mighty Guns N’ Roses.”
