Green Day has unveiled their first album, Saviors, since their 2020 release, Father of All Motherf-kers, which hosts previously released singles “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” “Dilemma” and “One Eyed Bastard.”
Celebrating a few ladies this week as well! Big Thief‘s lead singer and alt-indie songwriter Adrianne Lenker dropped her newest single “Sadness As A Gift” as well as solo dates for this upcoming summer and fall. Make sure to get your tickets here! A few others include Maggie Lindemann‘s “hostage,” Norah Jones‘ “Running,” Andra Day‘s “Where Do We Go” and Zara Larsson‘s “You Love Who You Love.”
Alt-indie songstress from Greenwich, CT Madi Diaz released “Everything Almost” ahead of her highly-anticipated record Weird Faith out February 9th on Anti-. The single follows her duet with Kacey Musgraves titled “Don’t Do Me Good.”
“’Everything Almost’ is about my constant wondering within a relationship,” Diaz says in a release. “How much should I be saying things out loud or am I saying too much out loud? What should I keep for myself? What’s mine that could become ours, that should become ours? What dreams are just mine that I could share with you only to discover they’re your dreams too? It’s an investigation of the depth of how far this thing could go. Am I allowed to keep some of me for me? Saying all of this out loud feels important. It is about realizing I can’t ever be everything for someone but maybe I can be almost everything.”
Just thinking about the time a label passed on signing me a few years back before my last record because he and some others were “concerned about my age”. I was 32. More women in positions of power in music please.
