I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases have been flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on Wicked, Noah Kahan, Miranda Lambert, Ariana Grande, Phantogram, Ruthie Foster, and Low Cut Connie.
- After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 26, 2025.
- Following his massive “We’ll All Be Here Forever” sold-out tour across the US this summer, GRAMMY® nominated, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Noah Kahan announces today the final installment of the Stick Season chapter—Stick Season (Live From Fenway Park) will be released on August 30th via Mercury Records / Republic Records. Earlier this week, Kahan cheekily teased the album on social media, revealing that “there’s no way [he] would release something else Stick Season-related…is there?” Recorded last month at his back-to-back sold-out shows at Boston’s legendary Fenway Park, the live album features live performances of songs from his Double-Platinum breakthrough Stick Season album, as well as beloved tracks from his discography. Not to mention, it also includes an unreleased song, “Pain Is Cold Water,” which has become a favorite amongst fans throughout the tour—listen to a teaser of the song HERE.
- Following the recent release of her tongue-in-cheek, honky tonk shuffle “Alimony,” Miranda Lambert takes a vulnerable and reflective turn with today’s release of “No Man’s Land” off her upcoming debut for Republic Records, Postcards from Texas, arriving Sept. 13.

- Phantogram, the duo Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter, announce the arrival of their album Memory Of A Day on October 18th on Neon Gold Records. Right after starting a powerful 27-date North American tour with fellow alternative heavyweights Kings of Leon, including headline shows across August, September and October, they are eager to share a third song of their new chapter: “Come Alive” here. Headline shows are on sale here. The new album launches Phantogram’s new partnership with Neon Gold Records, the celebrated indie label known for its long lineage of powerful alt pop artists from Charli XCX and HAIM to Tove Lo, MARINA and Christine and the Queens.
- When GRAMMY®-nominated Americana singer-songwriter Ruthie Foster sat down with producer Tyler Bryant (Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown), the 27 years between them melted away as soon as Foster opened her mouth. With an intuitive artistic connection and free-flowing songwriting sessions, the pair cultivated one of the most personal and uplifting albums in the acclaimed folk-blues artist’s career. Her latest album, Mileage—her tenth studio album and first for Sun Records—is sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes heartwarming, but it’s always profoundly real. Candid conversations between Native East Texans Foster and Bryant — and his wife, Rebecca Lovell, one-half of the duo Larkin Poe — became the inspiration for the songs on Mileage. During these almost familial musical get-togethers, Foster shared memories from her upbringing in rural Texas, recalling days of fishing, picking muscadines, and her connection with her mother. She also expressed her feelings of love, sending a hopeful and powerful message from her journey through love and life as a queer Black female artist. While wandering down the dirt roads of memory lane, Foster eases through a singular blend of Americana, spanning redemptive gospel, swampy blues, introspective folk, and stirring soul.
