Alan Chapell's new single "Suddenly," featuring Grammy Award winner Lorenza Ponce on violin, stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration in a time when such sentiments are sorely needed. Chapell, often described as a cultural alchemist, seamlessly blends the sonic textures of the 80s and 90s with the introspective lyricism of the 70s, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.

Seattle's rising indie stars, La Need Machine, have followed up their breakout single "I Wish I Could Fly" with a soulful and introspective track, "These Old Jeans." Released under Worldsound/Virgin Music Group/Universal, this new single cements their place as one of the most promising new bands in the indie scene.
