I really like the video for End of the Night  by pop singer-songwriter Taylor Noelle.  With influences ranging from from Fleetwood Mac & HAIM to Daniel Caesar & SZA,  Noelle blends pop and R&B. She was born and raised in LA, and is the daughter of the well-known Charles Esten.  She’ll embark on a college tour that will run through the South East. Check it out.

In a recent interview, Justin Bieber claims he became “very arrogant and cocky”.

The Canadian singer who has been under the guidance of manager Scooter Braun admits he started out as a real artist but later became manufactured.

“I was real at first and then I was manufactured as, slowly, they just took more and more control,” Bieber said, adding: “I started really feeling myself too much: “people love me, I’m the shit” – that’s honestly what I thought. I got very arrogant and cocky. I was wearing sunglasses inside.”

Bieber who has been on hiatus since 2015 say, “Just thinking about music stresses me out.”

He also notes, “I’ve been successful since I was 13, so I didn’t really have a chance to find who I was apart from what I did. I just needed some time to evaluate myself: who I am, what I want out of my life, my relationships, who I want to be – stuff that when you’re so immersed in the music business you kind of lose sight of.”

Jared & The Mill drops the new track Dying Fear. It blends folk, bluegrass, and alternative – in the vein of The Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons. As far as the new song, the band tells Kings, “Letting go of a past love is hard, especially one that you held in any sort of formative time period. This alternative act has several releases under their belt and they finally sound like seasoned writers and performers. Dying Fear is just that, coming to terms with letting something go that carries so much energy from you.” They band will tour in March, April and May that starts in the Midwest, takes them to the East Coast, and ends in the West Coast. The latest single comes off their new album “This Story Is No Longer” which drops on February 15th.
