The first batch of new music added to our giant playlist in 2025 comes from
Bloom, the new album from Rebecca and Megan Lovell, due for release in a couple of weeks. This track is an ode to keeping things simple and not overreaching: "Keep the things I need on a very short list / What do you keep looking for / More ain't always more / Than a little bit."
This is the debut release by a guitarist known in Australia as a session musician and a member of orchestral ensembles, and now trying her hand as a singer-songwriter and solo artist.
The Other Side Reviews says of this single: "Pounding drums lie alongside a bold bass, but it is the outstanding guitar solo that ups the ante of the track. ... Halloran simultaneously eases you into a hypnotic state while retaining a hint of brash alt-rock in the mix."
Just a few days into the new year, we're continuing to pick still-fresh produce from 2024. We previously featured "This Life As We Know It" from the blues-rock guitarist's new LP,
Million Voices Whisper.Now popping into our New Music Bin is this track co-written by fellow Allman Bros. alumnus Derek Trucks and featuring his slide guitar.
LED lights may be replacing neon signs on stores, restaurants and taverns these days, but here Tamara Lindeman uses them as a metaphor for false attractions: "Every neon sign every flashing like tries to fool you ... You feel flattered to be wanted and you don't know why / It reminds me of that look, that look in your eyes." This track comes from her upcoming album
Humanhood.
We dip back into the California singer-songwriter's eighth album, the recently released
If It Takes Forever, for a song that is both specifically personal - "Kristina and I, we still aren't married with no plans to / But I call her my wife all the time" - and curiously obscure: "Do my words fail? / I laid them out like a yard sale / Now I'm stuffing a pillow into a suitcase."
