Ava Earl has dropped her latest single, titled “Too Much,” which will resonate with fans of Gracie Abrams, Remi Wolf, and Melanie Martinez.

Ava Earl has already established herself in the Americana music scene as an artist to watch, having shared the stage with prominent artists like Maggie Rogers even during her high school years. Impressively, she managed to release four albums before turning 18.  She first made waves with her 2021 album “The Roses,” produced by the GRAMMY-nominated JT Nero. Now, she’s taking an even bigger leap with her highly  new album, “Too Much.”

Continuing along this trajectory, “Too Much” maintains Ava Earl’s distinctive songwriting style while diverging from her previous works. The album was produced by the JUNO-winning Zachariah Hickman and was recorded at Great North Sound Society in Maine. This album introduces a fresh sound, departing from her earlier recordings yet remaining true to Earl’s individualistic musical approach.

“Women are often told or made to feel like we are too much,” Earl says. “We are too much for our surroundings, too much for our peers, too much for our own good. We are supposed to wait our turn, couch our ideas in questions, and just be small. That’s never worked out for me. From a young age, I have been labeled ‘too much’ and I know from experience, I couldn’t be less if I tried. This album works through those feelings of being too much—both for others and sometimes for myself,” says Earl.”

Liv Slingerland has just released a new song called “In The Stars,” perfect for fans of 90’s indie pop. The song captures the emotions of heartbreak with its acoustic guitar and persistent synth bass.

Currently, Liv is touring as Post Malone’s guitarist. This new single marks her first release since her debut album “Hey You,” which came out through Righteous Babe Records. This label was founded by fellow guitarist Ani DiFranco.

Liv Slingerland has been a sought-after bassist and guitarist, working with emerging artists like Lauren Ruth Ward, Robert DeLong, Alex Lahey, and the Overcoats, before joining forces with Halsey. She even had the opportunity to perform on Saturday Night Live as a member of Olivia Rodrigo’s live band.

Her musical influences include greats like Tom Petty, Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, and Talking Heads.

Sianon, hailing from Irish heritage, was raised in Dudley, UK, and is currently a resident of Melbourne, Australia. She has recently released a contagious and radio-ready ballad titled “Loving You This Way.”

Sianon’s musical journey began when she taught herself to play the piano and guitar at the age of 13. She started crafting her own songs and gained experience by performing at open-mic nights and busking on Dudley’s streets. This passion persisted even after she moved to Brighton, UK, for her university education. Her live performances helped her establish a reputation in the music scene, sharing stages with artists like Gabrielle Aplin and gracing festivals such as Isle of Wight. CONTINUE READING

Billy Ray Cyrus and FIREROSE released their new single, the love ballad “Plans.” The song was penned by Oscar winner Diane Warren, and it was produced by Justin Morgan. It was released via Damon Elliott’s record label, Kind Music Group.

“Firerose is one of the best lyricists I know and actually takes great pride in only recording songs that she has written,” Cyrus shares. “So when she came to me one day so excited about a song she’d just received from another songwriter, needless to say, I was quite surprised. Then I heard the name of the writer and she played me the demo, and I realized her exuberance was justified. ‘Plans’ by Diane Warren – legendary songwriter. When Firerose and I collaborate in our diverse musical styles, it makes a unique blend of pop-country. They say the rest is history, but in this case… it’s the future.”

“Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose have made a beautiful record that I have a feeling we will be hearing at weddings for years to come,” Warren shared in a press release.
