HEMLOCKE SPRINGS UNVEILS NEW SONG “W-W-W-W-W”

Published

on

lt-pop breakout hemlocke springs unveils a new song, “w-w-w-w-w,” today via AWAL. Listen here.

“‘w-w-w-w-w’ details the reaction to a documentary I watched in high school whilst I was (unknowingly) struggling with the traditional expectations of others versus the expectations I had of myself,” says hemlocke.

This single comes ahead of her debut album the apple tree under the sea, out February 13, and on the heels of recent support dates with Chappell Roan and Conan Gray. The new track follows lead single “the beginning of the end,” which saw critical attention from the likes of The Needle Drop who says it’s “one of her most wild, varied songs she’s ever done.” Her second single, too, received praise, with Flood Magazine calling it a “delirious and dizzying alt-pop cut.” Additionally, springs has been announced at The Governor’s Ball, where she will build on her recent critical success.

the apple tree under the sea is a fever dream of a concept album in which our hero, hemlocke springs, sets off on a journey of self-discovery—one that requires her to confront the chaos and repression of her past in order to claim the full, liberatory life she once didn’t even know was possible. Sprinkled with references to her Christian upbringing with Nigerian immigrant parents, the project begins with her coming across a red apple — a symbol of knowledge or “worldly” things, as hemlocke explains, and then tracks her inner transformation as she unpacks the traumatic memories and long held beliefs that held her back from self-acceptance.

“I grew up very religiously—Christianity is very pertinent in Nigerian culture and the Black community—and I was also obedient to my elders,” hemlocke says of her childhood years in Concord, North Carolina. “This album starts with a character going through the desert who says, ‘I’m going to do your will.’ They could be saying it to God or a man, but then they come across the apple. It’s about me being in this bubble, and realizing that being in that bubble was tougher than I thought, and then finally getting out and exploring who I really am.”

hemlocke displays her most adventurous songcraft and playful vocals yet while co-producing the apple tree under the sea with close collaborator BURNS (Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Charli xcx).

Andrea Bocelli Performs ‘Nessun Dorma’ at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games 2026

Published

on

Last night, Maestro Andrea Bocelli, one of the most celebrated voices in music, delivered a breathtaking performance of his iconic “Nessun Dorma” at the Olympic Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. The performance was a standout moment during the star-studded ceremony, as Bocelli took the stage just after the President of the Italian Republic officially declared the Olympic Winter Games open. 

Surrounded by an orchestra and the Olympic athletes, Bocelli delivered an unforgettable performance of “Nessun Dorma” as the Olympic flame was carried into San Siro Stadium. His performance culminated in the flame’s exit from the stadium, a symbolic moment opening the Games beyond the venue. The performance served as a powerful reminder of how music can be a shared language, echoing the athletes’ journeys and stories. 

Bocelli made his Olympic debut at the Closing Ceremony of the Torino 2006 Winter Games, remaining a key figure for the Italian Olympic Games two-decades later. Music emerged as a universal language in this year’s program, celebrating unity through diversity for a truly shared experience, becoming an integral part of the story that unites sport, art, and culture, in the spirit of the Olympic values of dialogue and sharing.

Bocelli’s 2026 Romanza 30th Anniversary World Tour, celebrating his widely-acclaimed 1997 breakthrough album Romanza, officially kicks off tonight in Columbus, OH. The tour, presented by global wealth management and investment banking firm, Stifel, will feature many of his famed songs live, including timeless songs like Con Te Partirò.

Produced by AEG Presents, the 2026 Romanza 30th Anniversary Tour will see Bocelli perform in iconic venues across the world, including his return to Madison Square Garden for two nights in New York City, The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO, Bell Centre in Montreal, QC, TD Garden in Boston, and more. Internationally, the tour will see Bocelli perform in Aguascalientes, Mexico, Venice, Italy, Gdansk and Warsaw, Poland, and Vienna, Austria. For more information and tickets, please visit https://www.andreabocelli.com/tickets.

Romanza became a global phenomenon upon its release in 1997, selling more than 20 million copies worldwide. The record earned Platinum and Diamond certifications in over 20 countries, including Triple Platinum in the United States and Diamond status in Canada. It is both the best-selling Italian-language album and the best-selling predominantly non-English language album of all time. Romanza also topped the charts in 11 countries and reached the top of Billboard’s U.S. World Albums and Top Catalog Albums charts.

Maestro Andrea Bocelli is the most successful classical artist of all time who has sold nearly 90 million records and amassed over 25 billion streams since rising to fame after winning the 1994 Sanremo Music Festival. Renowned for his interpretations of major operatic works under legendary conductors such as Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa, and Zubin Mehta, he has earned six Grammy and six Latin Grammy nominations and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Bocelli has performed for four Presidents of the United States, four Popes, the British Royal Family, and at global events around the world including the Olympic Games and World Expos. He also founded the Andrea Bocelli Foundation to advance education and healthcare worldwide. His 2020 Easter performance at Milan’s Duomo became one of the most-watched classical livestreams in history, offering an uplifting message of love, healing and hope.

SOMBR Releases New Single «Homewrecker» with Official Music Video Today

Published

on

Following a standout debut performance at the 68th annual GRAMMY® Awards on Sunday, SOMBR shares a brand new single, titled “Homewrecker” (Warner Records), his first release since his critically acclaimed, chart-topping 2025 debut album I Barely Know Her. Written and co-produced by the GRAMMY® nominated multi-hyphenated artist, “Homewrecker” arrives with an official music video starring Quenlin Blackwell and Milo Manheim. Listen HERE and watch HERE

Directed by Gus Black (Phoebe Bridgers, Laufey), the “Homewrecker” music video brings the song’s relatably messy feelings to life. In the visual, SOMBR and Blackwell, cast in a Western film helmed by a short-tempered director played by Manheim, we see tensions rise and the lines between pretend and real life blurred — leading to a high-noon-style western showdown.

Once again, SOMBR is the sole writer and co-producer of his latest song, underscoring the weight of this talent. In addition to his Best New ArtistGRAMMY® nomination, he’s currently up for two prestigious BRIT AwardsInternational Artist of the Year, and International Song of the Year for undressed.” Meanwhile, back to friends has claimed the #1 spot at Top 40 Radio

In November, SOMBR made his Saturday Night Live debut, where he played 12 to 12 and back to friends.” That appearance landed between sold-out tours across North America — with most venues being upgraded — and Australia/New Zealand. Next week, he embarks on a sold-out UK/EU run before returning stateside for Coachella. See below for all upcoming dates.

I Barely Know Her was written entirely by SOMBR and co-produced by him alongside the legendary Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, The Replacements). A New York City native raised on the Lower East Side, he started making songs in his bedroom while studying classical music at LaGuardia High School.
