Jewels Gold signs to TikTok’s SoundOn, Announces "Starry Eyes" Single for July 11th I New EP Out This Fall

Jewels Gold Signs to TikTok’s SoundOn Announces New Single "Starry Eyes" Out July 11th EP Out Fall 2025

LISTEN/WATCH & SHARE: Jewels Gold - "Starry Eyes" Presave Today, rising singer-songwriter Jewels Gold announced directly to her vast online following that she has signed to TikTok's music division SoundOn. "It feels incredibly full circle after years of pouring my heart into building a community online and sharing my music, to now be partnering with TikTok, the very platform that’s been such a big part of my journey. I’m beyond grateful for the support and this surreal opportunity to take things to the next level.” She's also shared that her debut single on the label, “Starry Eyes," will be released on July 11th. “If you’ve ever had your heart broken, you know how hard it can be to trust someone again and open up," Gold says of the upcoming track. "When a relationship that you thought would last forever suddenly ends, it can make you doubt if it was ever real. Some people think that they’ll be safer if they put walls up and try to guard their heart, but I believe it takes great strength to be vulnerable, to put yourself out there, and to let love back in. Starry Eyes is about finding the silver lining and remembering that no matter how dark it gets, the stars will shine again.” Gold was an early adopter of TikTok–she started posting on the platform in 2019. Due to her unusually transparent, organic approach to sharing her astonishing talents to a much wider audience, she became one of the platform’s fastest growing female vocal accounts within two years. Her daily TikTok posts have garnered her a deeply engaged and dedicated audience of over 1.2 million followers, propelling dozens of her videos well into the multi-millions; the latest of which, a stunning Lana Del Rey cover which has earned the praise of celebs and even companies such as YouTube, has amassed over 10.5 million views and 1.6 million likes in the span of 72 hours–a true testament to the deep connection she's made with her following. Influenced equally by her parents’ love of Nina Simone, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Motown, and her youthful exposure to Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Christina Aguilera, Jewels’ potent yet supple, emotive vocals channel a unique old/new mélange of classic soulfulness through an energized Gen Z prism.  Her upcoming EP, which is still being recorded, is akin to a modern orchestra with dynamic vocals, juxtaposing grand cinematic instrumentation with modern production to create an experience that’s timeless yet unmistakably “now.” “I want my music to make people feel like they’re unstoppable – to have that drive, that power, and also just the trust in themselves that they can handle any situation and walk through it with grace.” "Starry Eyes" is set for release July 11th via SoundOn. Jewels Gold - Bio  As perceptions of lifelong singer-songwriter Jewels Gold shift from TikTok covers sensation to ultra-authentic original artist, the effortless elegance she brings to hit songs is now manifesting more than ever in her own material. Having just signed to SoundOn, TikTok’s music division, Jewels’ empowering musical truth is resonating profoundly with millions online. “My family raised me to always know who I was, and I didn’t doubt myself, even when others doubted me,” the powerhouse vocalist explained. “I want to be that support system for others. Whatever’s going on around you, it doesn’t matter; you just have to stay true, on your own path.” Even as a child, Jewels was filling notebooks with songs and writing lyrics on napkins at restaurants or wherever inspiration struck. Musical theater evolved into professional voice over work and her first studio experiences. Having honed her talents at open mics around her native New Jersey, the teen Jewels earned a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, leaving after a year to pursue a solo career. Influenced equally by her parents’ love of Nina Simone, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Motown, and her youthful exposure to Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Christina Aguilera, Jewels’ potent yet supple, emotive vocals channel a unique old/new mélange of classic soulfulness through an energized Gen Z prism. “When you listen to music from the legends and the greats, of course there’s specific imagery, but the lasting impression is a feeling,” she said. “I try to find the perfect balance between something that’s authentic and actually happened but that a total stranger can relate to and resonate with.” Jewels’ early adoption of TikTok in 2019 brought her unusually transparent, organic approach to sharing her astonishing talents to a much wider audience. Within two years she was one of the platform’s fastest growing female vocal accounts, and her daily TikTok posts since – both covers and her own songs – have seen her following soar to over 1.1 million and counting. Jewels doesn’t just sing a song. She interprets classics, puts herself into them and truly feels them. And this rare, innate conviction infuses her own material, creating a visceral human connection that transcends her cultured songcraft and exquisite execution. “I don’t want to just sing the notes and show off a fancy riff,” she continued. “I love to move people with my voice ... to make them cry or have goose bumps or to be happy.” Jewels’ upcoming EP sounds like a modern orchestra with dynamic vocals, juxtaposing grand cinematic instrumentation with modern production to create an experience that’s timeless yet unmistakably “now.” “I want my music to make people feel like they’re unstoppable – to have that drive, that power, and also just the trust in themselves that they can handle any situation and walk through it with grace.” Jewels Gold LINKS TikTok | Instagram | YouTube

Frankie Cosmos Different Talking Is Out Today!

“…The close quarters echo the intimacy of Kline’s early bedroom recordings, but a decade removed from her debut, her twee quirks have hardened into revealing idiosyncrasies… Singing with a sweet weariness, Kline can seem bemused by her melancholia, her resigned acceptance given an appealing warmth by a band whose gentle sway lends her pop miniatures depth.” - [4 out 5] MOJO Magazine
 
“Greta Kline’s four-piece continue to mature on this thoughtful sixth album, which sees the songwriter wrestle with the growing challenges of life as she enters her early thirties… These issues, dramatic or otherwise, unfold against an exquisitely cute jangle-pop backdrop, where simple, pure melodies meet bracingly short and uncluttered arrangements.” -
Uncut Magazine
 
“Leaning in to the band’s strengths, you can hear aspects of Guided By Voices in their stubborn unwillingness to conform to the rules.” -
[“Vanity”] Clash

“Kline’s oeuvre chronicles over a decade’s worth of personal and professional growth, neatly packaged into light-hearted ditties and passionate rock songs” - The Line of Best Fit

“Different Talking brings together soft indie rock influences and sways like the wind on a summer’s day.. An elaborate and well produced collection of songs. Seventeen tracks of hazy alternative anthems” -
[4 out of 5] Narc Magazine
 

Today, June 27th, Frankie Cosmos has released Different Talking, their sixth and, so far, best album from Sub Pop. It’s a collection of fragments and memories, remembered places, and reinterpreted feelings that adds up to a lucent, humming whole: a sturdy, worldly indie-rock record about aging and the passage of time that nonetheless manages to feel sharply current. The album includes the previously released singles, “Pressed Flower,” “Bitch Heart” and  “Vanity” which Stereogum described as “…bigger and more complex than most of what we’ve heard from Frankie Cosmos in the past, without sacrificing the innate warm, DIY quality of Kline’s songwriting.”
 

Today, the band has shared one final video, a double video for their songs “One of Each” and “Against The Grain,” which was directed by Matthew Volz. Watch here.
 
As previously announced, the band will embark on a World Tour, with North American dates scheduled to run from September 3 to October 25. Fantasy Of A Broken Heart and Moontype will support the first leg, from September 3 to September 20, and Chris Cohen & Emily Yacina will support the second leg, from October 9 to October 25. The band will then return to the UK and EU for 7 shows with Babehoven on main support. See below for a complete list of shows.

Global superstar The Weeknd has made history once again, breaking the record for most shows by a male artist at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium with seven completely sold-out performances on his After Hours Til Dawn 2025 Tour. The unprecedented seven-night run reaffirms The Weeknd’s status as one of the most powerful live performers of his generation, continuing a streak of sold-out stadiums and record-breaking milestones around the world. The City of Inglewood has officially declared June 25–29 as “The Weeknd Week” to honor the global superstar’s impact, as he drew over 200,000 fans for four sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium this past weekend as part of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour. With seven total sold-out dates, The Weeknd now holds the record for most shows by a male artist at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium — a historic cultural and economic milestone for the city. A plaque was given for this milestone (plaque photos HERE).

In celebration of The Weeknd’s historic run at Sofi Stadium this past week, LAVO Los Angeles introduced the Buona Notte featuring Nespresso Samra Origins to its cocktail menu. It is available exclusively at the restaurant now through the month of July. As part of his tour, The Weeknd has partnered with Global Citizen to help drive positive change around the world. $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to support children from vulnerable communities globally.

Emma Harner Announces Debut EP, 'Taking My Side,' Out July 11

Emma Harner Announces Debut EP, Taking My Side, Out July 11

Rising singer-songwriter and guitarist Emma Harner announces her highly anticipated debut EP, Taking My Side, out July 11. The 5-track collection—featuring previously released singles "False Alarm" and "Do It" alongside three new songs—is a coming-of-age project shaped by emotional upheaval, self-examination, and quiet strength. Known for her intricate guitar work and ethereal vocals, Harner crafts songs that bridge raw emotion with technical finesse. Her writing is sharp yet vulnerable, often exploring the moments where relationships unravel, identities shift, and self-discovery begins to take shape. Taking My Side captures Harner at a turning point—looking inward, asking hard questions, and stepping more fully into herself. Originally from Lincoln, Nebraska and now based in Boston, Harner has developed a distinctive sound that fuses the intimacy of folk with the complexity of math rock. She first gained attention through a series of viral videos on Instagram and TikTok, quickly building a devoted following drawn to her virtuosic playing, harmonic sophistication, and emotionally resonant songwriting. In 2024, her debut single "When You Mean It" premiered as a Zane Lowe World First. Since then, she has toured as direct support for Orla Gartland on both her 2024 U.S. and 2025 European runs, and has opened for artists including mxmtoon, Tiny Habits, and The Bygones. With the forthcoming release of Taking My Side, Emma Harner introduces herself not only as a gifted guitarist and songwriter but as an artist coming into her own with clarity, purpose, and heart.

FAILURE: Documentary on Influential Band Out Now on Hulu ft. Hayley Williams, Margaret Cho, Steve Albini, More | 'Every Time You Lose Your Mind'

FAILURE - ‘EVERY TIME YOU LOSE YOUR MIND’ DOCUMENTARY ON INFLUENTIAL ALTERNATIVE ROCK BAND AVAILABLE NOW ON HULU & HULU ON DISNEY+ - WATCH HERE Film Features Interviews With Hayley Williams, Steve Albini, Jason Schwartzman, David Dastmalchian, Margaret Cho, Butch Vig, Rick Beato & More See Photos From LA Premiere ft. Rare Acoustic Live Set HERE

"arty alt-rock legends Failure will receive documentary treatment... The unorthodox and influential band finally gets their due" - Associated Press "Every Time You Lose Your Mind offers the rare example of a band bio that feels necessary... there's enough humanity in the film to win everyone over." - Exclaim! 

Failure at Documentary Premiere | (l to r): Kellii Scott, Ken Andrews, Greg Edwards  photo by Lynora Valdez  Today, influential alternative rock band Failure releases Every Time You Lose Your Mind, the feature length documentary a decade in the making. The film, directed by the band’s Ken Andrews, is available to stream via Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. The film follows the Failure from inception to present, and features interviews with David Dastmalchian, Margaret Cho, Hayley Williams, Jason Schwartzman, Steve Albini, Tommy Lee, Maynard James Keenan, Butch Vig, Rick Beato and more. The documentary – which has been featured by the likes of Billboard, Alternative Press, Consequence, Rolling Stone, Associated Press, SPIN, Revolver and more – can be STREAMED HERE.  The documentary premiered last night (Thursday, June 26) at Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles and featured a rare acoustic set from the band. See photos from the premiere featuring appearances from many of the film’s talking heads including Matt Pinfield, Margaret Cho, David Dastmalchian, Julie Edwards, Troy Sanders, Paul D'Amour, former Failure bandmember Troy Van Leeuwen and more.

But the pioneering trio left a profound imprint that transcended their affiliation with the LA alt-rock scene. Every Time You Lose Your Mind documents the origins, downfall and rebirth of a band that’s beloved by their peers and multiple generations of fans.  “Our fans have connected with the themes of depression and addiction in our music,” notes Andrews. “The film crystallizes those connections and, ultimately, communicates hope. We’re a band that faced a specific set of challenges and somehow managed to survive and thrive. It's a story about resilience, finding ways to cope, and not giving up.” WATCH DOCUMENTARY TRAILER HERE

Over the course of six albums, Failure has exerted a similar effect on listeners. Their musical communion has intrigued critics, fans, and peers for nearly three decades. Following Comfort and Magnified, the trio created what is largely considered one of the ‘90s most influential and innovative albums: Fantastic Planet. The 17-track collection not only earned rave reviews and a trove of new fans but saw the band headline Lollapalooza’s second stage and craft one of the era’s most recognizable videos (“Stuck on You”). The album’s legend grew over the ensuing years, eventually spawning retrospective think pieces from the likes of Rolling Stone, Noisey (Vice), Decibel Magazine, and more. Failure has been honored with covers by A Perfect Circle, Paramore, Cave In, Melissa Auf de Maur, and more. After a 17-year hiatus, they returned with The Heart Is a Monster in 2015, inciting the applause of Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, and Stereogum who said upon the album’s release: “this is a pretty big deal.” Their most recent album is 2021’s Wild Type Droid, recorded in the midst of the global pandemic.
