Two of the most distinctive voices and highly decorated artists of our time, singer-songwriter-pianists with a combined 23 GRAMMY Awards between them including wins for Best New Artist.<\/p>\n<p>John Legend says \u201cAh, what a perfect way to start the summer! I\u2019m so honored to be part of this beautiful record with Norah. Her voice, soul and musicianship, her graceful presence, are all undeniable. I\u2019ve been a fan for so long.

His sixth solo album All Night Days, Rob shares songs about living life to the fullest. The album is his first release on Universal Records and will be available on all platforms September 5th.<\/p>\n<p>To kick off the album, Rob brings two tracks that show the different sides of the album. The first single \u201cHard To Be Happy,\u201d paired with the intimate acoustic b-side \u201cThrill Me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can pre-order the album, including signed copies and exclusive color vinyl, here.<\/p>\n<p>About the song \u201cHard To Be Happy,\u201d Rob says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to write a song that felt happy. More than ever, we live in a time where personal and mental wellness can become a focus in your life. For that to happen, it needs to be acceptable to say, \u2018I\u2019m not happy right now; I don\u2019t feel comfortable in my own skin.\u2019 The song itself is very no-filler. It shows, \u2018It\u2019s alright to be unhappy,\u2019 but it\u2019s wrapped up in a happy tune. The message is, \u2018I\u2019m going to be fine, but leave me alone for this second!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>About the new album, Rob says \u2013 \u201cI hope you see yourself in my music,\u201d adding \u201cThe great songs I listen to are the ones where I\u2019m the hero of the story in my head, even if I don\u2019t know the writer. There are a lot of \u2018Saturday Night\u2019 and \u2018Sunday Morning\u2019 songs on All Night Days. Maybe one of these tunes becomes a part of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"610\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PJGUKqbNXgI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>After a two year break from the spotlight, Lewis Capaldi is back with \u201cSurvive\u201d. After two years away from the spotlight, global superstar Lewis Capaldi today makes his extremely welcome return with new single \u2018Survive\u2019 \u2013 a bold, brave new anthem that underscores a challenging period in his career, that ended at Glastonbury 2023 in an extremely tough, but special unifying moment as the Pyramid Stage crowd helped carry an emotional Capaldi over the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost nights I fear that I\u2019m not enough, I\u2019ve had my share of Monday mornings when I can\u2019t get up\u201d sings Capaldi in a huge, hair-raising and brutally honest track that addresses mental health challenges of self-doubt &amp; despair, but comes out swinging in a chorus full of defiance \u2013 \u201cI swear to God I\u2019ll survive, if it kills me to, I\u2019m gonna\u2019 get up and try, if it\u2019s the last thing I\u2019ll do\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"610\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6fJI7xydShM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are going to shake things up today with New Music Monday and bring you a number of new songs we need your feedback on.
