I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases have been flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs Joy Oladokun, Shania Twain, New West, Yellowjackets, and Waco.
- Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Joy Oladokun’s anticipated new album, Proof of Life, is out today via Amigo Records/Verve Forecast/Republic Records. Stream/purchase HERE. Already receiving critical attention, Oladokun recently spoke with The New York Times, who praises, “the singer-songwriter with Springsteen aspirations wants to make music for everyone. Her new album, Proof of Life, pushes her one step closer,” and continues, “her songs are conversational and confessional, and her hooky but profound melodies turn her lyrics into mantras.” Additionally, The Tennessean declares, “everyone’s favorite unlikely breakout pop star…it’s the latest and greatest combination of eras of pop nihilism – ‘90s indie pop Beck and Weezer vibes delivered with blithe, Beatles-esque musicianship,” while No Depression proclaims, “She’s almost a throwback to a pre-internet era of big-tent pop-rock, with a tempered balance of self-doubt and affirmation delivered with a voice that can convey warm affability and stadium-filling uplift.”
- Five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning legend and the best-selling female artist in country music history Shania Twain presents the Royal Edition the Deluxe Version of her acclaimed new album, Queen Of Me, out now via Republic Nashville, a division of Republic Records. Listen to Queen of Me (Royal Edition)—HERE. She delivers the definitive edition of Queen Of Me with five extra tracks. Among the additional material, she serves up two new originals - “Bone Dry” and “Wanted Man.”
- Toronto based “collective” New West performs their hit song “Those Eyes” in an incredible performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which serves as their late night television debut. Watch HERE. The song, via Giant Music/Republic Records, continues to amass major buzz with over 470 million streams worldwide and appears on their dynamic bundle entitled homecoming / in my city.
