Song Of The Day: beat the day with one hit

I don’t have song of the day, today I have 3 albums of the day, the new releases of:

 2025-03-01

Keep The Faith

Armin van Buuren & Bon Jovi

Something

The Beatles

😊

Amazingly, “Something” is the only song written and sung by George Harrison to be released as a Beatles single (it reached No. 1). It became, along with “Yesterday,” the band’s most covered song (Frank Sinatra credited the song to Lennon and McCartney when he sang it on stage). It’s also Harrison’s finest composition, a love song with a killer bridge and a subtly soulful guitar line.

Get Up And Go

Milow

😊

Just as Milow's previous album, 2022's Nice to Meet You, was a response to the Covid pandemic, Boy Made Out of Stars is, in his words, "a love letter to Los Angeles, its beauty and the strength that keeps us going." The album represents the latest chapter in their musical journey, its title evoking childlike wonder, with stars symbolizing creativity and hope. “It touches on psychedelic exploration and cosmic transformation,” Milow explains. "It's about modern boyhood, challenging traditional ideas of masculinity, embracing vulnerability and celebrating the fluid and evolving nature of identity."

Happy Ever After You

MacKenzie Porter, Jake Etheridge, Thelma & James

😊

In December 2024, MacKenzie Porter and her husband, Jake Etheridge, teased an intricate and moving new song, 'Happy Ever After You', with Porter commenting, "I met my husband through songwriting, but we hadn't written a song together in over 10 years... until now."

The yearning, bittersweet offering finds Porter and Etheridge stepping into the shoes of two former lovers who have long since parted ways, but who still haven't managed to relinquish the hold they have on each other. It's beautifully stripped back and intimate, and the track's stripped-down, acoustic feel, coupled with its heartbreaking lyrics, led to plenty of fellow artists getting excited about the initial teaser for 'Happy Ever After You'.

Luke Combs, for one, commented, “Yo. This is really damn good,” while Jordan Davis echoed Combs’ sentiments, sharing, “Well damn y’all… This is beautiful.” Ella Langley, RaeLynn, ERNEST, Ashley Cooke, and several others also rushed to the comments section of this ‘Happy Ever After You’ demo to beg for an official release.

Endearingly, it seems like MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge had no idea that 'Happy Ever After You' would blow up the way it has in recent weeks. The full studio version of 'Happy Ever After You' was officially released on January 10, 2025, with Porter and Etheridge using the single as the springboard for their new project, 'Thelma & James.'

Into The Mystery

Needtotbreathe

The band continues to demonstrate their mastery of sound, ambiance and silence by layering Into the Mystery with a full sonic palette. Even though the album was recorded in an old house in rural Tennessee, the music doesn't sound limited in its scope. It's big when it needs to be, and dialed in, but still full of texture when needed.
