- First released three decades ago, The Beatles’ eight-part “Anthology” series reinvented the music documentary. Instead of a standard treatment centered on an outside narrator and talking heads, “The Anthology” featured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr candidly telling their own story, with all its complexities and contradictions. It introduced The Beatles to new generations of viewers and listeners and marked the start of a creative and commercial afterlife that continues to this day. Now, The Beatles Anthology returns in its ultimate form for a comprehensive global release campaign—on screen, on record, and in print. Now a nine-part series featuring a brand-new episode nine streaming exclusively on Disney+ beginning November 26.

- Country music giants Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton deliver a 70s-inspired music video for their first true duet collaboration, “A Song To Sing,” praised by Rolling Stone for “its dreamy disco groove and lovestruck devotion.” Directed by Running Bear and produced by James Stratakis, the video features the pair of visionaries, clad in matching terracotta suits (with cameos from Morgane Stapleton in gold lamé), taking the stage at Brentwood Skate Center to perform the Stereogum-dubbed “slinky arrangement” with “the two singers’ enormous, intertwined vocals.” A callback to an era of music epitomized by Ronnie Milsap, Waylon Jennings, and especially the classic Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers duets, the collaborators borrowed jewelry from Rogers’ and Parton’s estates, with Lambert wearing a pair of Parton’s gold clip-on hoop earrings and Stapleton donning a lion necklace of Rogers’.

- multi-platinum singer, songwriter, producer and New Jersey’s very own Jeremy Zucker proudly presents his third full-length album, Garden State, out now via Mercury Records—listen HERE. Featuring his recent singles “hometown” and “surprise!,” the 14-track Garden State album marks a return to the northern New Jersey native’s roots and tells a relatable story of the sometimes-complicated relationships we have with our hometowns. The record traces Jeremy’s journey out of New Jersey as an 18-year-old and through the ups and downs of moving across the country, going to college, and living his dream. He translates formative experiences of gaining independence, finding love, and all the complexities consistent with growing up into raw and honest lyrics delivered over bare instrumentation and minimalist production. While creating Garden State, he mentally transported himself back to his childhood, allowing himself to process his memories and emotions through a new lens. By doing so, he delivers his most vivid and vulnerable work to date.
