andywhite.com From Belfast singer-songwriter Andy White, "This song was recorded March and April 2020 by Andy and the band swapping files from lockdown in Italy and Melbourne. Dedicated to Max La Rocca from Casa Del Popolo Il Progresso in Florence—who wrote and asked me for something to support the club during lockdown—and my friends all over Italy, where it has been such a privilege and such fun to tour over years. Especially to the music community in Correggio, where I found a home, including the musicians who played on this track. Max, Lele, Filippo, Elisa. Grazie. Special shout out to Vito and Betty Bottalico, Gianni Campovecci, Vittorio La Pietra and their wonderful families" |

| Rich in Time Jack Pine and The Fire - s/t
|
| Released April 24, 2020
https://jackpinefire.com/get-rich-in-time From Jack Pine: "I wrote #RichInTime when I felt poor and financially insecure. When I questioned if making music, chasing my dreams, and doing what I love was really worth it. I wrote it as a reminder to myself that I have all the time in the world to do what I love, and that has as much value as collecting a predictable pay cheque after completing a predictable day of work. I wrote it as ato anyone who ever said, thought, felt "why don't you just get a job??" to anyone. And I wrote it because I figured I'm not the only one that ever wonders about the other side of the coin. We live(d) in a gig economy - people work hard for not a lot of money. And now half of the entire world is experiencing financial anxiety. Tides are shifting and the future is uncertain. But I still don't want to work a 9to5...I'd rather be RICH IN TIME...wouldn't you? All that being said, it's a pretty lighthearted song when it comes down to it - poking at millennials and boomers and entrepreneurs and slackers alike. It's a Millennial Slacker-Folk Anthem and I hope you dig it a lot!" |

https://www.language-arts.net/ Released April 23, 2020 In the words of Alex Cook of The East Mag http://www.theeastmag.com/2020/04/24/premiere-language-arts-releases-sprout-on-how-she-welcomed-home-her-rescue-dog "The new video from Language Arts is only about the most loveable video you’ll see all year. Kristen Cudmore, the art-pop classical guitarist founder and front-person tells the story of how she met and welcomed her rescue dog, the titular “Sprout”, home." In the Words of Cudmore: "“It took years, because getting hit by a drunk driver turned my body into a lemon,” says Cudmore, with a nod to the album’s title. “I tried so hard not to let that get me down, so I made the flavor of the music like a fresh splash of lime!”" "“During this time, having a dog is so special. Sprout is one that brought a world of love into my life. We celebrate our 10 years together this year and she’s seen me through the highs and lows, as a pet, companion and support,” says Kristen, “So I wrote her a song years ago.” “During this time, having a dog is so special. Sprout is one that brought a world of love into my life. We celebrate our 10 years together this year and she’s seen me through the highs and lows, as a pet, companion and support,” says Kristen, “So I wrote her a song years ago.”" "10 Facts About Sprout: 1- She was found abandoned in a foreclosed home in the US, during the recession. 2- She's married to a dog named Fiddle. 3- She's a trained Service-Dog. 4- We met 10 years ago. The agency forgot me and accidentally adopted her to someone else, who then later didn't want her. 5- She loves tomatoes and once pooped in the garden and tomatoes began to grow everywhere! 6- She doesn't bark often, but she makes a sound between a sneeze and a huff. 7- She comes on tour and wears noise-cancelling ear protectors and a light-up collar. 8- She doesn't drool or shed. 9- She knows how to roll down the car window herself and does when she wants to stick her head out. 10- She has a song that is coming on on Friday, April 24th" |
