NEW ALBUM DAUGHTER OF SORTS OUT TODAY ON CAPITOL RECORDS

“dazzling and devastating all at once” –– ROLLING STONE

At long last, the wait is over––Daughter of Sorts, the sophomore album from Diana Silvers, is out today via Capitol Records. A luminous and unflinchingly personal collection of songs that are at once achingly intimate and quietly infinite, the album is an exquisitely rendered study of loss, grief, and the reckoning that is growing up.

Written by Diana and co-produced with Jason Lader, and recorded at the Houdini mansion in Laurel Canyon, Daughter of Sorts is that rare record that transports you to another place… through the singular sparkle in Diana’s voice and lyrics that feel carefully unearthed from the weight of lived experience, revealing extraordinary emotional landscapes hidden within ordinary moments.The album also features contributions from Fabrizio Moretti and Nikolai Fraiture (The Strokes), as well as Cole Preston and Dylan Minnette (Wallows).

Diana recently sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about Daughter of Sorts, and you can read all about it HERE.

Daughter of Sorts is available now: https://dianasilvers.lnk.to/daughterofsorts

For fans eager to catch Diana live, a pair of shows has been announced for Los Angeles and New York City: November 17th at Dynasty Typewriter in LA, and December 1st at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn. Grab tickets here while you can:

About Diana Silvers  

Diana Silvers has long been recognized as an acclaimed actress and model, but music has always been her truest form of expression. The California native grew up studying cello, making mix CDs, and learning guitar – all of which shaped her distinct artistic voice.

In 2025, Diana released her debut single “June,” a deeply personal track that landed her on Rolling Stone’s “Songs You Need to Know.” list. Its follow-up, “Airplane,” further showcased her cinematic storytelling and melodic warmth. Both served as the first glimpses of her debut album, From Another Room, which Variety described as “a nostalgic, thoughtful introduction to an artist with her heart on her sleeve.”

Diana made her live debut at Newport Folk Festival. She then hit the road supporting Jon Batiste on his 2025 North American tour, playing sold-out rooms across the country, and joined Fletcher in her hometown of Los Angeles.

With the release of her sophomore album, Daughter of Sorts––out now on Capitol Records––Diana’s singular voice and razor-sharp songwriting brilliantly shine as she embarks on a compelling new chapter in her evolution as an artist.

BEASTIE BOYS 
40 YEARS OF LICENSED TO ILL
Diamond-Certified Debut to Receive Deluxe Vinylphyle Treatment
Limited Edition 2-LP To Be Released on March 18, 2027
Available to Pre-Order HERE
Catch Ad-Rock and Mike D on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and SmartLess This Week

Released forty years ago this week on November 15, 1986, Beastie Boys’ landmark debut album, Licensed to Ill, introduced a global audience to Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D’s brash, rock-and punk-influenced take on hip-hop. Driven by hard-hitting beats, rock guitars, and irreverent humor, the album made an immense and immediate impact, becoming the first rap album to top the Billboard 200. Produced by Rick Rubin and Beastie Boys, the album, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2015 for sales of more than 10 million units, has since been ranked by critics among the greatest hip-hop albums and debut albums of all time. Licensed to Ill features seven singles, including “Brass Monkey,” “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” “Paul Revere” and “Fight for Your Right.”

In celebration of its 40th anniversary Def Jam Recordings/UMe will mark four decades of Licensed To Ill with a limited Vinylphyle edition featuring mastering from original sources on March 18, 2027. Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl LPs with lacquers cut from a high resolution digital transfer from the original 1986 1/4” album master by Joe Nino-Hernes at Sterling Sound, this newly remastered Vinylphyle edition is housed in a gatefold tip-on wrapped jacket with a satin-matte finish and printed on clay-coated board and includes a four-panel insert with scans of the original tape boxes, a classic band-logo etching on the vinyl, and all-new liner notes by Public Enemy co-founder Chuck D. Pre-order the limited Vinylphyle edition of Licensed to Ill, HERE. 

Nino-Hernes received the physical master tapes for this album, but in the interest of tape preservation and mastering flexibility, he elected to introduce a digital step into his cutting process. “For this project I felt that making a high-resolution digital transfer, using the same machine and electronics that I use for cutting, would yield the best results and come closest to actually cutting from the first-generation master tape itself” explains Nino-Hernes, “It also allowed me to minimize handling of the tapes that have become fragile with time. In this case,” Nino-Hernes continues, “I felt that fidelity was better preserved by working from my digital transfer of the original master, than by making and working from a second-generation analog copy.”

The limited Vinylphyle edition of Licensed to Ill is a masterclass in analog editing, meticulously produced to the highest standards, with extensive quality controls at every step—from mastering and plating to pressing and printing.

BECK
“DISAPPEARING ACT” OFFICIAL VIDEO OUT NOW 
RIDE LONESOME TOUR NORTH AMERICAN LEG FINALE

Photo Credit: Kasey Orthmann

Beck marks the final date of the North American leg of his critically lauded, commercial smash Ride Lonesome Tour with the stately new video for “Disappearing Act.” The latest song from Beck’s widely acclaimed Ride Lonesome album to receive a visual interpretation, “Disappearing Act” has been a nightly highlight of the tour, which winds down November 10 with a sold out show at Portland, Oregon’s Keller Auditorium.

Directed by Mikai Karl based on Beck’s original vision, “Disappearing Act” finds the delicate arpeggios of the Ride Lonesome album standout soundtracking an arresting montage of various iconography and architecture, funeral processions and rituals — all in striking black and white.

Since its late September opening, the North American Ride Lonesome Tour has translated the effusive acclaim for the album into an outpouring of appreciation for shows rated by many as among the most captivating of Beck’s career: The Boston Globe called the show “exquisite,” while Boston.com raved  “no other artist can weave as naturally from era to era in such a convincing and captivating way.” The Detroit Metro-Times reported “a masterful night” that “left the audience enchanted, armed with elaborate arrangements, incredible musicianship, and enough rarities to delight both the die-hards and the casually curious,” while The Minneapolis Star Tribune labelled the performance “elegantly orchestrated,” noting that “Beck’s personality, the depth of his material and the musicianship of his five excellent sidemen carried the long but rewarding evening.” The Daily Californian summed up most succinctly, “Trust in Beck, and he will deliver.”

Following the close of the 2026 North American leg of the Ride Lonesome Tour, Beck will join a star-studded cast featuring Queens of the Stone Age, St. Vincent, The Kills, Norah Jones, Bill Burr, “Weird Al” Yankovic and a host of others for Josh Homme & Friends: A Benefit for Core & The Sweet Stuff Foundation November 16th in Los Angeles. Beck will kick off 2027 with a February 20th appearance at the Centennial Park Summer Concert in Sydney, Australia before joining U2 as support for the first leg of their Carnaval de Luz Presents: The Greatest Show on Earth World Tour beginning February 23rd in Mexico City and running through March 27th in Buenos Aires.

BRYAN ADAMS
RELEASES NEW ALBUM 
HOW’S IT GOIN’
PURCHASE / LISTEN HERE

“Having a subject matter close to his heart has made for one of Adams’ best and most inspired albums in years” – Classic Rock

“Adams hasn’t sounded this engaged and on-form for some time; a heartfelt, high-water mark of an album” – Record Collector

Bryan Adams has released his brand new album How’s It Goin’, a critically acclaimed collection of songs written as a musical love letter to his homeland Canada. The album is out now via BAD Records, available to purchase and stream here. 

Rooted in the people, places, landscapes and stories that have shaped the country, How’s It Goin’ sees Adams turn his songwriting and voice towards home. Drawing on Celtic folk, country and rock, the album explores a distinctly Canadian and Acadian musical landscape.

Among the album’s 13 tracks is the anthemic “51st State”, which has already been met with nightly standing ovations around the world. The album also features “The Ballad Of Terry Fox”, a tribute to heroic humanitarianism that appears in the soundtrack of the new documentary Run Terry Run. Another standout is “Lake Ontario”, which opens with a reference to one of North America’s Great Lakes before delivering a wry retort to those seeking to rename it. Through its lyrics, the song offers a pointed reflection on how distraction has become a form of currency in today’s world.

Through further songs including “Highway 16”, “The Bridge”, “When Canada Joined Newfoundland” and more, Adams maps the country’s vast landscapes, celebrates its citizens and the treasured characters throughout history. It basks in the humor, the resilience and the stories which make it the country that it is. It is Adams looking back at the place that helped shape him while discovering new ways to tell its stories.

How’s It Goin’ is available now on CD and LP, with the LP housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, obi and shrink wrap. A special A4 hardback book edition is also available, featuring the album on CD, song lyrics and images connected to the stories and subjects explored across the record. The physical album features 12 songs and has also been released digitally with “Lake Ontario” as the bonus track.

NEW SINGLE, “LAKE ONTARIO”, OUT NOW
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE
NEW STUDIO ALBUM, HOW’S IT GOIN, OUT NOVEMBER 6th
PRE-ORDER HERE

Today, Bryan Adams announces the release of “Lake Ontario”, the latest single from his forthcoming studio album How’s It Goin’, arriving November 6, 2026, via BAD Records.

“Lake Ontario” begins with the story of one of North America’s Great Lakes, laying the foundations for a wry retort to those who seek to re-name it. The lyrics tell their own direct story of how distraction has become currency in today’s world, but that in time, the name will remain the same now and forever.

“Empires and regimes, dictators and kings, they all come and go. Lake Ontario is forever. This is a song for all the sane people on both shores who know that the current madness will pass, and that Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario.” — Bryan Adams

The song is taken from Adams’ new studio album, How’s It Goin’, his musical love letter to Canada. Rooted in the people, places, landscapes and stories that have shaped the country, How’s It Goin’ sees Adams turn his songwriting and voice towards home. Drawing on Celtic folk and rock, the album explores a distinctly Canadian and Acadian musical landscape.

Among the album’s 13 songs are the anthemic “51st State,” which has already been receiving nighty standing ovations around the world, “Diesel and Dirt”, “Iron Ribbon”, “The Battle of Lundy’s Lane”, “The Ballad of Terry Fox” and the title track, “How’s It Goin’”, an energetic, acoustic-driven celebration of Canadian life.

At its heart, How’s It Goin’ is about Canada: it’s vast landscapes, the characters, the history, the humour, the resilience and the stories that make it the country that it is. It is Adams looking back at the place that helped shape him while discovering new ways to tell its stories.

The physical album features 12 songs and will also be released digitally (with “Lake Ontario” as the bonus track) and on CD and LP, with the LP housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, obi and shrink wrap. A special A4 hardback book edition will also be available, featuring the album on CD, song lyrics and images connected to the stories and subjects explored across the record.

Find full lyrics for “Lake Ontario” below:

From glacial erosion – to indigenous care
From European exploration – to industrial wear and tear
The “lake of shining waters” is what the Iroquois called her
It’s a first nations name – not an executive order

But things weren’t going his way in Iran
So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram
He may have thought it best to throw a low blow
And create a real dog and pony show
But it feels like another distraction
While the Epstein files were getting traction
One day they’ll come out and we’ll say “there you go”
And then we’ll all dive into Lake Ontario

After centuries of trade and war
People settled down on the banks and shores
All rivalries and conflicts – had all but ceased
But it just took one dude to break that peace

But things weren’t going his way in Iran
So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram
He may have thought it best to throw a low blow
And create a real dog and pony show
But it feels like another distraction
While the Epstein files were getting traction
One day they’ll come out, and we’ll say “there you go”
And then we’ll all dive into Lake Ontario

Diana on the making of Daughter of Sorts:

“As I listened back to ‘Daughter’ and ‘Plans,’ the first two songs Jason [Lader] and I made for this record, I realized there is this whole other side to growing up: Death. Grief is psychedelic, surreal, painful, confusing, and sometimes extraordinarily beautiful. It is infinite and finite all at once.What at first felt like a curse, had and has started to feel like a privilege. It is a privilege to be able to explore and express and understand the reckoning that is growing up, through music. It is a privilege to share my sophomore album, Daughter of Sorts.”

Beck has unveiled a stunning new video of the first ever live performance of “Ride Lonesome,” the “instant classic” (PARADE) that opens his “drop dead gorgeous meditation on heartache and solitude” (NME) album of the same name.

Performed May 7th of this year at the Sydney Opera House, the live debut of “Ride Lonesome” finds Beck accompanied by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and live band mainstays Jason Falkner (on bass and vocals), Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (on piano and vocals) and James McAllister (drums). Buoyed by an otherworldly orchestral arrangement provided by Beck and his father David Campbell, and featuring conductor Nicholas Buc, “Ride Lonesome” with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra is nothing short of a revelation — one that brings new dimensions to the new classic Beck ballad NPR proclaimed “as moving and beautifully produced as any of his most beloved work.” 

The audio track was mixed by Tom Gelissen and mastered by Paul Hicks.

In other news, Beck has been confirmed as support for the launch of U2’s The Greatest Show on Earth World Tour 2027. Sharing a stage with the band for the first time since his stint on the 2017 Joshua Tree stadium tour, Beck will be featured on U2 shows in Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires running from late February to late March.

WILMA, AN ODE TO THE LOST SOUNDS OF 1970s ITALIAN FILM
NEW ALBUM OUT DIGITALLY TODAY

VINYL ALBUM OUT NOVEMBER 13th PRE-ORDER HERE

“YOU COULD BE THE SUN, I COULD BE THE MOON ft. ORION SUN AND MICHAEL KIWANUKA” OUT NOW

“Daniele Luppi turns a trove of forgotten Italian film music into something new on Wilma”
– SPIN

“A damn fine tune”
– Consequence
on “To Some Degree (ft. Michael Kiwanuka)”

At long last, composer Daniele Luppi’s new album featuring Michael Kiwanuka and Orion Sun, Wilma is out now. The downright stunning LP is available digitally worldwide via Verve/slowplay HERE. The vinyl arrives in the physical world on November 13th and is available for pre-order HERE.

Featuring “You Could Be The Sun, I Could Be The Moon,” an inviting new song with both Michael Kiwanuka and Orion Sun trading deeply introspective and hopeful lyrics. Wilma’s grand finale, “You Could Be The Sun, I Could Be The Moon,” closes the album in alluring fashion, with Kiwanuka and Orion Sun’s tender soulful vocals floating above the warmth of a sublime orchestral arrangement. 

Daniele reflects on the song, “In my mind, the entire album slowly moves toward this song. It’s the culmination of both characters’ reflection, private wonderings, and unanswered questions finally becoming united. At first, it was entirely Michael’s song. But because I had such generous space to work with—the song runs for over five minutes—I suggested that Tiffany share the vocal duties, with subtle lyrical changes to clearly make it her point of view, intentionally different from Michael’s. The further the song progresses, the closer they become. That’s why I imagined them finally harmonizing at the very end, before everything closes with super-intimate, no-studio-effects, bare-naked vocals. It’s like waking up from a dream. That’s how I always wanted the album to end.”

Wilma is a golden-hued collection featuring vocal contributions from the Mercury Prize-winning Michael Kiwanuka and critics’ darling Orion Sun. Enrobed in a warm analog production and embellished by Luppi’s contemporary instrumentation, subtle effects and blending, Wilma combines timeless arrangements with modern flourishes, ultimately creating a transportive cinematic soundscape.

He was just embedded in our whole world… Personally, I love how he is committed to not only making the work, but releasing it. Sometimes tirelessly self-publishing his art. It’s inspiring to me.

“mind-meltingly gorgeous melodies” – Pitchfork

“there are still few greater pleasures in pop music than hearing this one guy rock out… late-career masterpiece” – Rolling Stone

“how lucky we have been to live through McCartney’s genius… McCartney at what he does best” – USA Today

“McCartney’s best album of the 21st century” – Variety

“The Boys of Dungeon Lane is a joyous late-career reminder of McCartney’s melodic genius” – Daily Telegraph ★★★★★

Paul McCartney’s internationally acclaimed album The Boys of Dungeon Lane is released digitally as a Special Edition today, featuring four additional recordings including a new version of “Home To Us”, his celebrated duet with Ringo Starr, alongside three brand new songs.

The Special Edition release comes at a landmark moment for The Boys of Dungeon Lane. Released in May 2026, Paul’s first new solo album in over five years topped the global charts, with Top 5 debuts in more than a dozen countries – including Paul’s 24th UK #1 album across his extraordinary career as a solo artist, with Wings and as a member of The Beatles.

The album has also received widespread international critical acclaim and, in July, was named as one of the 12 prestigious Albums of the Year shortlisted for the 2026 Mercury Prize. The recognition marks Paul McCartney’s first-ever Mercury Prize nomination and sees The Boys of Dungeon Lane recognised alongside some of the most exciting and acclaimed artists and albums of the year.

The Special Edition will give fans four more recordings from the world of The Boys of Dungeon Lane, including a new version of “Home To Us,” bringing Paul and Ringo Starr together once again. The track is already one of the album’s most poignant moments, with the two surviving Beatles trading lyrics that carry the weight of their extraordinary shared history while remaining deeply personal and contemporary. The new “flip mix” sees their original parts in the song swapped with each other.

Alongside the new version of “Home To Us,” the Special Edition features three brand new songs, titled “City Fox,” “One Night Stand” and “Chelsea Boots,” offering fans the opportunity to discover more of the music created during the sessions. 

The Boys of Dungeon Lane (Special Edition) physical release, due December 9th, will feature stunning cover artwork adapted from a silkscreened collage by Kate Gibb, utilizing more than 100 images from Paul’s personal collection. The physical formats include a limited edition 2LP orange & blue marble vinyl featuring a zoetrope etching, and are available for pre-order HERE and are being released December 9th. The Boys of Dungeon Lane (Special Edition) will also be released on CD.

The Boys of Dungeon Lane turns the lens inward, with Paul revisiting the formative years that shaped not only his life, but the very foundations of modern popular culture. In a career defined by timeless storytelling and unforgettable characters, Paul tells the most personal story of all: his own.

The album is a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared, alongside newly inspired love songs, from one of the most culturally significant figures of our time.

These extraordinary songs find Paul in a candid, vulnerable and deeply reflective mood, writing with rare openness about his childhood in post-war Liverpool, the resilience of his parents, and early adventures shared with George Harrison and John Lennon long before the world had ever heard of Beatlemania.

The album takes its title from one of its standout tracks, “Days We Left Behind,” a stripped-back and deeply intimate song that captures the emotional core of the project. Dungeon Lane is a place Paul still sees when returning home, serving as a symbolic gateway to a pre-fame world: afternoons by the Mersey, birdwatching book in hand, “smoky bars and cheap guitars”, and dreams not yet lived.

Speaking about “Days We Left Behind,” Paul said:

“This is very much a memory song for me. The album title, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, comes from a lyric in this track. I was thinking just that, about the days I left behind and I do often wonder if I’m just writing about the past but then I think how can you write about anything else? It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool. It involves a bit in the middle about John and Forthlin Road which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke which is quite working class. We didn’t have much at all but it didn’t matter because all the people were great and you didn’t notice you didn’t have much.”

Since its release, The Boys of Dungeon Lane has continued to connect with audiences in an especially personal way. Paul has personally hosted a series of exclusive album playback events, giving fans the opportunity to hear the album in full and experience the stories, memories and music at its heart in an intimate setting.

A world without Paul McCartney is impossible to imagine, yet The Boys of Dungeon Lane takes listeners to a world that existed before everything changed, offering memories never previously shared and revealing, with extraordinary honesty, the human story behind a global icon.

Now, as the album continues its remarkable journey from chart-topping success to Mercury Prize recognition, the story of The Boys of Dungeon Lane continues with four more songs.

This is the story before THE story. And there is still more to tell.
