New Song 2019

Luke Combs' latest album cover design is a little bit of a thinker, but plenty of eagle-eyed fans got it. In late January, when he revealed the title and cover art for his next album, it was immediately clear that there's a connection between this project —  Gettin' Old  — and his 2022 album —  Growin' Up . For one thing, both titles are a reference to his song, "Growin' Up and Gettin' Old," which is a reflection on life's different phases and stages. When it came out last June, Growin' Up reflected on those themes: Combs traded in some of his signature beer-drinking bangers for tracks like the forward-thinking, responsible "Tomorrow Me" and the goofy, '90s-themed "On the Other Line." It seems clear that Growin' Old will continue trending in that direction. "This album is about the stage of life I'm in right now," Combs explained when he announced the project, elaborating to...

O N A BRISK DECEMBER evening, in a lounge at West Hollywood's Westlake Studios, Lil Tjay and his five-person entourage watch a boxing match as they plan the night's next move. Amid the plush couches, love seats, and a giant TV, his security guard, also a boxer, extols the discipline and confidence needed to get into the ring. One of Tjay's managers, Deon Douglas, notes that "you couldn't pay me to get punched in the face." They all laugh, and Tjay points out that the object of boxing is to hit, not get hit. "You gotta go into the fight thinking you gonna win," he says. It's a reality he's familiar with. At just 21 years old, Lil Tjay has already racked up 14 platinum singles. His first session in a professional studio, when he was 16 years old, spawned "Resume," an earworm that caught fire in New York City, and, along with a slew of other singles he uploaded to SoundCloud, led to a deal with Columbia Records in...

No one travels like this on commercial airlines. A 1970s view of the lounge in a 747. Public domain image by SAS Musceet on Flickr. Please Support Local Advertisers by Bob Waite Boeing recently announced it had assembled its final 747 jumbo jet and would be delivering it to Atlas Air, a freight carrier, in February. Hearing this brought mixed emotions. It was a great aircraft. But it also possessed a jumbo carbon footprint. For those of us who have a passion for aviation history, the cessation of the 747 marks the end of an era. My interest traces back to a patient of my dad's, Pete Williamson. Pete lived in Ipswich and worked as a pilot for Northeast Airlines, based out of Logan Airport. Please Support Local Advertisers When I was a kid, I was taken down to Logan and sat in the cockpit of a DC-3 with Pete, who did his best to explain the array of switches and lights.  I was hooked. Years later, in 197...

Follow us on Telegram for the latest updates: https://t.me/mothershipsg When you hear the familiar start of Gong Xi Gong Xi (恭喜恭喜) , you know what time of the year it is. The song has become synonymous with Chinese New Year and is often played throughout the season. However, the origin of the song is not as cheerful and festive as one would expect. In fact, it was not initially written as a new year song. If you listen closely, you may have noticed that Gong Xi Gong Xi sounds a bit ominous. This is due to the fact that the song is written in the minor key. A song in the minor key generally sounds downbeat, while anything in the major key sounds more upbeat. However, if Gong Xi Gong Xi was not written for Chinese New Year, what was it for? It celebrates the end of World War II in China The song was composed and written by Chen Gexin a Chinese songwriter, under the pen name of Qing Yu and Lin Mei. The song was actually written in Shanghai in 1945 to celebrate Japan's def...

Until a few days ago, I thought I was going to be writing in this space about a chart-topper by Solána Imani Rowe, the artist who calls herself SZA. Since late December, SZA has had the top album in America. She released her long-awaited, widely hailed sophomore LP SOS just before Christmas and has dominated the Billboard 200 for six weeks now, fending off Taylor Swift's megablockbuster Midnights and setting chart benchmarks in the process— SOS is the first R&B album by a woman to be No. 1 for that long since Janet Jackson's self-titled Janet nearly three decades ago. On the Hot 100, the SZA album's lead single, the bubbly-emo murder ballad "Kill Bill," rose as high as No. 2 and appeared ready to eject Swift's long-dominant "Anti-Hero" from the penthouse. To put "Kill Bill" over the edge and score SZA's first ever No. 1 song, her label was pulling out all the stops, dropping a Tarantino-esque music...

We guide you through some of the greatest and most influential female jazz artists and musicians of all time, all of whom have shaped and impacted the genre in their own individual way Best female jazz musicians Carla Bley B. 1936 With a unique satirical style, Bley found herself at the forefront of avant-garde jazz. Though Carla Bley was once proclaimed 'the Queen of the avant-garde', she's too much of a free spirit to be defined by a label. Born in California in May 1936, she learned piano from her choirmaster father and accompanied services from an early age, before dropping out of church and school to concentrate on competition roller skating. At 17, jazz seized her attention and she went to New York, waiting on tables at Birdland and absorbing the musical ferment. In 1959 she married pianist Paul Bley, who encouraged her talent for composition, and tuneful originals such as 'Sing Me Softly of the Blues' became contemporary standards.

Tom Petty, courtesy. As regular readers of my column and anyone who's sat near me for any length of time know, my musical tastes are stuck in the '90s, along with my fashion sense. It's the second best decade of music in American history behind the '60s, and I will die on that hill. Back in 2018, when I listed my top five songs of each year, this affinity was made evident by the fact that I regularly listed 10 songs and had honorable mention lists with another 10 to 15 on top of that. My list for 1993, for example, had 23 songs in total without repeating artists. And I left quite a few off. Because it's the last Saturday of January and thus my last chance to do new year stuff without seeming lazy, I'm amending that original list with another 10 songs from 30 years ago that I didn't add the first time because I didn't want to be too excessive. Bikini Kill — "Rebel ...
