TV: Ellen, The Late Late Show, GMA First week: #1 Billboard album sales, #4 on the Top 200! Big summer tour Rolling Stone spreads The Buzz about “The Pretenders unveiled a jangly new ballad about an obsessive crush, “The Buzz,” that will appear on their upcoming album, Hate for Sale, out May 1st via BMG. “The Buzz” is a mid-tempo rocker that finds Chrissie Hynde crooning lovelorn lyrics over a swooning rush of guitars. “You know you can’t forget, you know gotta get, the buzz,” Hynde sings, “Can’t get no relief/ You’ve reduced me to a liar/A liar and a thief/Love, oh love/I can only prove your real/By the scratching and the fever.” In a statement, Hynde said of the song: “I think we all know that love affairs can take on the characteristics of drug addiction. ‘The Buzz’ is about that. Not mine, of course — I’m never obsessive, never obsessive, never obsessive.” Hate for Sale marks the Pretenders’ 11th studio album and follows their 2016 LP, Alone. Hynde co-wrote all the songs on the record with guitarist James Walbourne, while Stephen Street produced the album. Hate for Sale is also the first Pretenders album to feature the band’s long-time touring line-up of Hynde, Walbourne, bassist Nick Wilkinson and founding drummer . The Pretenders are scheduled to embark on a sprawling North American tour with Journey this summer. The run starts May 15th in Ridgefield, Washington, and wraps September 12th in Bethel, New York. The Pretenders will then play the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California, on September 27th.” - Rolling Stone, 3/17/2020 Pitchfork takes a look at the new Dixie Chicks single “The last time the Dixie Chicks reinvented themselves, it was hard to know what would come next. On their most recent album, 2006’s , the country trio wrote about being spurned by their industry, faced with uncertainty at the point when most bands on their level are finding career equilibrium. “They say time heals everything,” sang in the mammoth single “,” “but I’m still waiting.” They would continue waiting: After the tour for that album, they took a decade-plus hiatus from releasing new music together, during which their influence loomed larger than ever and their fight against a misogy- nist industry was echoed by a new generation of singer-. “Our last album was the most personal and autobiographical we’ve ever been,” Maines said in 2019. “And then this one is 10 times that.” She was talking about Gaslighter, the group’s long- awaited comeback record, co-produced with . Like so many of their best songs, from “” to “Truth No. 2,” the title track gets to the heart of matters by getting personal. Its references to broken promises and Holly- wood homes suggest that Maines is addressing her recent divorce from an actor husband, but its larger points speak to the same belief that has driven the group’s work from the beginning. “You liar,” Maines concludes each chorus. In their world, there is no stronger indictment. With its buoyant rhythm and singalong chorus, “Gaslighter” merges the open-road optimism of their early records with the sharper power-pop of Taking the Long Way. Other than their vocal harmonies—still radiant and seamless, like different strings on the same instrument— player and player accompany Maines in subtle ways, weaving the confrontational verses into the rallying cry of a chorus. The songcraft is so compact, and their trade- mark sound so welcome and familiar, that its message of empowerment comes across equally jubilant and defiant. And while it may soften the heavier implications of the title, their breezy mix of emotions makes its own statement. The Dixie Chicks know that history has been good to the battles they’ve fought. So now they’re working on their own time, answer- ing to no one.” - Pitchfork, 3/4/2020 Trevor Hall talks about his new single with Brett Dennen “The song “Put Down What You Are Carrying” was made up of a few different experiences in the past that found their way together for this tune. the words for the chorus came from an experience I had in india a few years ago. The words for the verses came a while after that when my grand- mother passed away. As i was mourning the loss of her physical presence, I heard her voice come to me saying, ‘don’t war with yourself.’ Those words were so healing for me at the time and still hold weight for me today. We laid down the original demo while on tour with the John Butler Trio. We were in a hotel in the middle of Washington at the time. John gave me a tattoo that day in the hotel room as we were recording everything. It’s a really great memory for me. A little while later, I asked my brother Brett Dennen if he would be willing to sing on the song which I’m thankful he agreed to. All the messages aligned for this song about letting go, taking a breath, and celebrating the process of making the choice to put down all the things that weigh us down. hoping it can inspire all of us to let go of all the things no longer serving us and allow ourselves to be fearless and PLAY!!!” - Trevor Hall Time Magazine puts Perfume Genius in their Top 5 “Perfume Genius — the Seattle-based artist Mike Hadreas — has a way with shimmering, gentle alt-pop that teeters on of pain. His last album, 2017’s No Shape, crept toward tentative joy, like a the delicate shoots of a plant in its infancy. “On the Floor,” the new single off his upcoming May album Set My Heart on Fire Immediately, is the next phase of growth: the stems are sturdy now, and he can play with having fun—musically, at least. The song is a bouncy bop of a tune with a sighing ’50s chorus. The lyrics are about an unrequited crush, how- ever, and the physical discomfort of that solitary experience. “I shake, I promise every day to change, I cross out his name on the page,” he sings, wrestling with his feelings. It wouldn’t be Perfume Genius with the bitter to temper the sweet.” - Time Magazine “The 5 Best New Songs This Week”, 3/23/2020 Coming soon: White Reaper “Real Long Time,” Wild Rivers...
