Greetings! I’m up to my ears (no pun intended) in new tunes! Let’s dive in:
Singer-songwriter-instrumentalist VV Lightbody is back with a new single “Practice Smiling,” and it has gorgeous instrumentation, lyrics, and production value all around. We are also spoiled with new tracks from Sierra Ferrell, Oh He Dead, The Womack Sisters, and Alabama Shakes and tracks featuring the voices of Joy Crookes and Amber Mark.
Plus, Caroline Rose drops another new single and their tracklist ahead of a new upcoming album Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Hotel and it’s gearing up to be their most eclectic yet.
