UK pop-country band Another State release ‘Ride Or Die’

Sean Ryder Wolf, Paul McDowell, James Gibson, and Dave Staton, a.k.a. Another State, the UK’s pioneering pop-country fourpiece crossover male harmony band, have released their latest single ‘Ride Or Die’.  Another State have garnered a dedicated following with their unique sound that bridges pop and country. ‘Ride Or Die’ is the third single from the band and follows the debut ‘All You Need’ and sophomore single ‘The Only One’ and showcases and the more raw country rock sound that the band have embraced. Sean Ryder Wolf knew two things about the track: firstly, that he had written something very different and very special and, secondly, that although he had the melodies but no other lyrics, this song simply had to have the title: ‘Ride Or Die’! Immediately with having that song title in mind, the band knew the track was going to be a powerhouse of vibrant energy and super fun – or as Ryder Wolf puts it – “an exciting high octane ‘night out with your buddies’ sort of vibe … full of energy and one you can play loud when you’re driving!”. The band loved collaborating while writing the song, Ryder Wolf claiming “it felt pretty liberating writing a song which had that ‘weekend’ feeling and had a lot of fun helping come up with lyrics which encompassed both being with your friends, and also having an exciting experience meeting a girl when you’re out.” Ryder Wolf says when he originally presented the song to the other members of the band: “I came in and said: ‘ I think I’ve come up with something pretty special here’.” Indeed, it came to pass!   To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.

Jessica Lynn announces new album ‘All I Own’ and releases new single

Brooklyn-born country artist and songwriter Jessica Lynn has poured years of relentless dedication into her upcoming 10-track album,’ All I Own’. Shaped by the professional hurdles and recent health battles she’s overcome, the album — announced today — stands as a deeply personal project, set for release on January 17, 2025. Alongside the announcement, she delivers ‘Something ‘Bout You’, the sixth and final single from the LP, an uplifting ode to falling in love with her husband. Jessica shares, ‘Something ‘Bout You’ is a feel-good story about falling in love and having the most amazing adventures together. There is something nostalgic about the song and I hope it brings everyone listening back to a really special time in their lives.” Complete with an insightful tour diary style music video, the track’s positive vibes are further expressed through on-stage shenanigans and adventures throughout Europe. “My first-hand account of seeing how music can connect with people around the world, many of which don’t even speak the same language, is such an incredible feeling,” Jessica explains. “The places I’ve gotten to see through performing, the amazing people I’ve met, and the experiences I’ve been so blessed to have by doing what I love to do, truly makes me positively reflect on my journey. Just like ‘Something ‘Bout You’ says – I thank God for this life every single day.” Jessica Lynn is an infectious songwriter with an undeniable, arena-ready stage presence. All combined, it has catapulted her into a well-seasoned touring machine, playing her songs to audiences around the world.  Lynn is eager to challenge genre norms and carve out her own space in the industry. Just as her music career was taking flight, she nearly lost everything. Following a routine sinus surgery that led to a battle with postoperative complications and muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), which threatened to derail both her voice and career, All I Own stands as a testament to Jessica’s resilience. “I hid what I was going through from everyone because I was afraid we would lose tour dates, opportunities, and I didn’t really want to admit it was real,” Jessica admitted. “I started singing as soon as I could talk and I started my first band when I was 13. Music is all I’ve ever known and the thought of potentially never being able to sing normally again was a feeling I couldn’t quite put into words.” Forced to record in short 10-minute intense bursts of vocal effort, Jessica channeled her struggles into the album, each note carrying the weight of her recovery journey. She seamlessly wove double meanings into each track, inviting listeners to find their own stories within hers. Jessica has taken all of her blessings and hardships with grace, pouring her soul into every avenue she explores. This latest display of that can be heard on ‘All I Own’ as she fought through her vocal injury — not even skipping a beat to ensure her music gets to be heard.   To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.
