Glasgow's Christy O'Donnell has always had a deep emotional connection to music.

Beginning to play guitar at a teen, it seemed to unlock something inside of him, allowing him to access his emotions in a new way.

“It was like being blind and discovering colour,” he says. “When I felt bad I didn’t know how to deal with it until I found music.”

Writing his own songs, locating his own sense of expression, Christy will release his new EP shortly.

New single 'Remember Me Well' lands on May 8th, and it's a grand, alluring "wall of sound".

Dominated by that driving, surging vocal, it's the sound of someone's talent, of their message, coming into focus.

"I wanted to buildup to this beautiful wall of sound," he comments, "like I’m in a summer’s garden, like I’m sitting on the grass with all these flowers growing up around me."

"The track features a solitary violin which swells and opens into a rich musical soundscape: this trajectory from introspection to full-blown expression is something that first struck me in the music of Bon Iver, so I tried to model in on that. Let me know how you like it!"

Tune in now.

The Streets have shared new song 'Where The F*ck Did April Go?!' - listen to it now.

Mike Skinner recently linked with Tame Impala on new single 'Call My Phone Thinking I'm Doing Nothing Better', before announcing plans for a new mixtape.

'None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive' is incoming, but the creativity hasn't stopped.

Currently on lockdown, Mike Skinner finished new song 'Where The F*ck Did April Go?!' just last week, and it's an off-mixtape cut.

The B-side of the new Streets single, he comments:

"I wrote this last week. It's a weird time isn't it. We were looking forward to the Summer just like everyone else, festivals and gigs all there, new music, new stage set - but this has taken the wind from everyone’s sails. And none of us know quite how to cope with it all. I just wrote a tune the same way other people might talk to a therapist!"

Tune in now.

The Streets will release new mixtape 'None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive' on July 10th.

Bob Dylan will release new album 'Rough And Rowdy Ways' on June 19th.

The legendary songwriter returned with his epic song 'Murder Most Foul' a few weeks ago, prompted by the death of JFK.

Rumours of his first album of original material in eight years began circulating, and it seems that this speculation was on the money.

'Rough And Rowdy Ways' lands on June 19th, with Dylan sharing a new song alongside this announcement.

The album cover features a 50s style photo of a road-house, a couple dancing to the nearby jukebox.

There are certainly traces of 50s R&B on biting new song 'False Prophet', with its slouching meditation featuring Dylan at his most guttural.

Check out 'False Prophet' below.
