Richard Tichelman Releases Heartfelt Anthem ‘Never Be The Same’ from Anticipated Debut Album In & Out of Love

Singer-songwriter Richard Tichelman is excited to announce the release of his brand new single “Never Be The Same,” out now, off his eagerly awaited full-length debut album, “In & Out of Love,” set to be released in June, 2024.

Drawing on personal heartbreak, his latest track marks a new beginning for the artist and a new song for the playlists of pop fans everywhere, just in time for summer.

Written in Nashville, TN, in close collaboration with the renowned songwriting duo Jimmy Thow (Blake Shelton, Joe Nichols, Shawn Hook) and Jamie Floyd (Ronnie Dunn, Ashley Monroe, Miranda Lambert) and produced by Ovi Bistriceanu (Mia Martina, Massari, French Montana), “Never Be The Same” showcases Tichelman’s growth and versatility as an artist who has matured as a lyricist, vocalist, musician, and songwriter.

“Never Be The Same” offers an upbeat, unapologetic, yet poignant reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the path to moving on. With lyrics like, “You don’t get to change your mind once you bury love alive,” Tichelman turns a profoundly personal song encapsulating raw emotion into a feel-good anthem for closure and healing.

Tichelman credits the collaborative magic with Thow, Floyd, and Bistriceanu for extracting these emotions and helping to convey them through song. “Being some of the most beautiful souls I’ve met, I felt immediately able to open up the emotional content of my life,” says Tichelman, who believes “Never Be The Same” is one of the best songs he’s ever written.
The unwavering support of his burgeoning fanbase has not gone unnoticed. “I feel grateful that a core group of people who know this song already can sing it back to me,” says Tichelman. “Something about this song sticks, and I’m blessed to see it move others.”

Following on the success of his previous hit single, “Hands,” which earned Tichelman a spotlight at CMW’s featured Artist Showcase and grand prize at the Jim Beam Bourbon Virtual National Talent Search, “Never Be The Same” and the new album marks Tichelman’s first project under the XOXO Entertainment Corp.

Listen to “Never Be The Same”, now streaming on all digital platforms and tune in for the YouTube music video premiere on May 25, 2024.

Richie Hawtin Partners with Epidemic Sound to Mentor the Next Generation of Artists and Global Music Talent

Epidemic Sound, the soundtracking platform for content creation, announced today that it has partnered with renowned producer, DJ, and electronic music pioneer Richie Hawtin. Beginning in Q2 2024, Hawtin will mentor four Epidemic Sound artists: dreem, The Yard Woman, Hampus Naeselius, and Maya Lourenço. He will offer guidance to help grow their careers in the industry while providing feedback on their release strategies and music, which is distributed to music streaming platforms and the company’s global community of content creators and brands.

The partnership between Hawtin and Epidemic Sound is founded on a mutual respect for creative innovation. Described as “one of the electronic dance world’s intellectual forces” by The New York Times, Hawtin has played a pivotal role in shaping the electronic music genre we know today. He was raised in Ontario, later moving to Detroit, and was at the forefront of the “minimal techno” movement in the 1990s, playing a vital role in driving the genre forward for over three decades through his music and his many technological innovations and accolades.

“I’ve long been impressed by how Epidemic Sound solved the complexity of music licensing – the base provided by their innovative approach has helped create new avenues for artists to distribute their music at scale, make a living in the music industry, and get the creative freedom they need,” said Richie Hawtin, British-Canadian electronic music producer and DJ. “The music industry desperately needs more alternatives for artists to thrive in the new music paradigm, and I’m excited to join forces with Epidemic Sound to support their talented artists in developing their sound and careers.”

Each of the artists Hawtin will mentor is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the electronic music world – experimenting with different genres and using innovative techniques to create different sounds. Mio Marberger, also known as dreem, is a versatile artist known for his eclectic blend of music genres like trap, pop, indie, and post-punk. An electronic prodigy in his own right, dreem’s upcoming collaboration with Hawtin is poised to be a groundbreaking fusion of talent and innovation. Similarly, The Yard Woman, hailing from Greece and based in London, transforms the electronic landscape into her personal playground, drawing inspiration from unexpected sources like pop, rock, and world music.

As classical music continues to rise in popularity and evolve as a genre, artist Hampus Naeselius marries electronic elements with classical music to create epic compositions for film, television, and advertising. With Richie Hawtin’s background in cinematic storytelling, this collaboration promises to push the boundaries of the classical genre. Lastly, DJ and producer Maya Lourenço (Parallax Deep and Blue Saga) is celebrated for their experimental soundscapes and innovative use of technology, making Hawtin an ideal collaborator.

“We are beyond excited to announce this partnership. Richie is an electronic music legend who has significantly impacted the global electronic music scene,” said John Cleary, Epidemic Sound’s Director of Americas and Global Music Recruitment. “By partnering with Richie, Epidemic Sound continues to fuel the next generation of artists and superstars and launch fantastic music to content creators, brands, listeners, and fans worldwide.”

After launching its music licensing solution in 2009, Epidemic Sound has seen the reach of its music grow exponentially, to the point where it now gains 2.5 billion daily views on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, providing a powerful distribution engine for its artists. Simultaneously, it has consistently developed its remuneration model – which now includes a 50/50 streaming royalty split, fixed fees per track, and a portion of a SEK 30 million soundtrack bonus – while offering freedom for artists to work non-exclusively on multiple projects at the same time, and facilitating creative collaborations with industry legends such as Hawtin.

In tandem with its commitment to fair compensation and artist collaborations, Epidemic Sound has demonstrated continuous innovation by introducing a range of cutting-edge tools and features that enhance the content creation experience. Notable developments include the ‘Music Recommender’ (2020), the ‘More of what you like’ feature (2020), and the audio-based search tool, ‘Epidemic Audio Reference (EAR)’ (2022). Most recently, Epidemic Sound unveiled Soundmatch: an AI-powered music discovery tool designed to save creators’ time and deliver vastly better results. These advancements showcase the company’s dedication to adapting to the ever-changing landscape and delivering exceptional experiences for both artists and content creators.

Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman is a genuine original. His critical acclaim spans the creative realm of the fine art community to the technological vanguard. As a performing artist, he is constantly pushing conceptual frontiers, creating ideas and experiences that would have seemed pure science fiction when he began his career in the emerging techno scene in Detroit. Hawtin is British-born and Canadian-raised. He is the business mind behind the labels Plus 8, MINUS Records and now From Our Minds. And, of course, he is Plastikman, perhaps that most of all, electronic musician par excellence, maintaining an underground agenda of avant-garde electronica over six albums. The New York Times called him “one of the electronic dance world’s intellectual forces,”. Raf Simons, Co-Creative Director at Prada, says he listens “to Richie Hawtin’s music like others listen to classical music”, calling him “the Kraftwerk of today”. In technology, it was Hawtin who led the shift from physical to digital DJing through the creation of Final Scratch; he was a co-founder of the pioneering Beatport digital store; head of his own music-technology fund Plus 8 Equities; and PLAYdifferently for innovative DJ and performance technologies with MODEL 1.

The See It Now Studios Original Documentary will launch on Paramount+ exclusively in the U.S. this fall.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse Announce Archival Album ‘Early Daze’ Originally Recorded In 1969

There is something so historic about the earliest recordings of Neil Young with Crazy Horse that even the most devoted fans of Young and that pivotal band cannot contain their excitement when new releases are scheduled. EARLY DAZE, to be released for the first time on June 28, 2024 and already the excitement is peaking. Maybe that’s because the music the band performs has never been collected on one album like this set. The song line-up includes some of the most iconic originals by Neil Young, and several with contributions by band guitarist Danny Whitten. It is Young’s first band after the breakup of Buffalo Springfield, and set one of the highmarks of rock & roll at the end of the 1960s when all these songs were written.

When the Crazy Horse band first came together, it featured Danny Whitten (guitar and vocals), Ralph Molina (drums and vocals) Billy Talbot (bass and vocals) and Jack Nitzsche (keyboards, Tambourine and vocals). It was a band that was immediately spoken of with high excitement, and allowed Young’s new original songs to find an open runway for taking off new directions. Their early lives shows immediately set a new standard for rock & roll groups, and with Young’s new original songs like “Dance Dance Dance,” “Come on Baby Let’s Go Downtown,” “Cinnamon Girl” and “Down by the River,” the aggregation immediately took on a fevered following across America and beyond.

EARLY DAZE will be available at the Greedy Hand Store at Neil Young Archives (NYA) and music retailers everywhere. All Greedy Hand Store purchases come with free hi-res digital audio downloads from the Xstream Store © at NYA.

This new collection of Neil Young with Crazy Horses’ earliest recordings include several original versions that have not been released before, and along with the 7-inch Mono mix that was released in 1970 that includes a guitar outro not on LP version not on original LP version. All the songs on EARLY DAZE sound and feel like a new beginning for where rock & roll was going at the end of the 1960s. The tide was turning on some of the psychedelic experimentation of the San Francisco bands, and moving towards a style of intricate songwriting and bands that were able to take the beginnings of folk-rock and find new ways to let it explode in different settings. Neil Young with Crazy Horse were leading the charge in this completely expressive style of new music. It opened doors for a wide variety of new styles, and allowed a whole generation of musicians to find a new way forward. In many ways, that achievement is still growing.

Discovering Memorable Moments with a Custom Tune Music Box

By Mitch Rice

Discovering memorable moments with a custom tune music box is a journey into the heart of personalized nostalgia. These unique keepsakes blend the charm of traditional music boxes with the personal touch of a chosen melody, making them perfect gifts for any occasion. From celebrating anniversaries to cherishing childhood memories, a custom tune music box transforms everyday moments into lasting treasures. Dive into the world of Only One Music Box and explore how their custom tune music boxes create unforgettable experiences through the power of music.

A Special Gift in a Simple Box

The music box: a timeless object of both nostalgia and fascination. It’s an object that can evoke great sentimentality, often cherished as a family heirloom or a treasured gift. Not only does it play a soothing tune, but it also tells a story, capturing moments and emotions in its delicate melodies. Each time the tiny hammer strikes the metal comb, it releases a note, sharing a melody penned heartily by the composer, infusing each sound with personal meaning and history. And when you open the box, you find yourself traveling down memory lane, transported to times and places that hold special significance.

Revealing the Charm of a Music Box

Music boxes are endearing for various reasons, one of which is their simple yet incredible mechanism. They thrive on the marriage of technology and artistry. The emotions they invoke are generated by the carefully orchestrated sequences of bumps and dips on a rotating cylinder or disc. These interact with a metal comb to generate musical notes. The beauty of a music box lies in this simplicity – its ability to create complex and beautiful music from rudimentary mechanics.

Unravelling the Tunes of the Past

Taking a journey through history, the first music box was believed to have been created in Switzerland in the early 19th century. Early boxes mainly featured popular folk tunes or classical melodies and were principally used for domestic entertainment. People would gather around a music box after dinner, drawn in by its enchanting sound. These early versions were sizeable, however, the invention evolved towards smaller and more complex designs, becoming the handheld size we often see today.

Creating Memorable Moments with a Custom Tune Music Box

One of the most delightful aspects of a music box is its defining feature of customised tunes. Imagine a special melody that carries personal significance being translated into a delightful song and played every time you open the box. Whether it’s a lullaby from your childhood, a tune that marks a special occasion, or a melody associated with a loved one, the magic of a custom tune music box is undeniable.

This personalised feature can turn an ordinary gift into something quite meaningful and unforgettable. A custom tune music box isn’t just about the melody it plays, but also about the emotions it evokes. It instils a sense of nostalgia and takes you back to the moments that the tune represents. It isn’t just a music box – it’s a trove for your precious memories.

Crafting an Heirloom Driven by Emotion

Crafting a custom tune music box is a meticulous process that requires exceptional skill and precision. The initial step involves choosing a tune, one that is significant and heartwarming, often selected for its personal or sentimental value. The chosen melody is then coded into the mechanical system, most often using a pinned cylinder to dictate the notes with exact accuracy. Each pin placement is carefully calculated to ensure the music box plays the tune perfectly. This complexity is concealed under the allure and elegance of the music box, making it a beautifully intricate piece that appears simple and enchanting to the listener.

Conceptualising Your Custom Tune Music Box

Customisation doesn’t stop with the music. The exterior design can be personalised as well. Whether you want it to depict imagery that complements the tune or if you wish for it to carry a particular aesthetic, all these can be incorporated into your music box. With this level of uniqueness and personalisation, music boxes can make excellent heirloom pieces to be passed down generations.

Summing Up the Symphony

Each music box spells a story, sings a history, and encapsulates moments. They’ve been doing this in a beautifully rudimentary way for centuries and continue to churn out melody after melody. Only a custom tune music box, however, ensures that your melody is parsed from your memory and dictated onto the cylinder. Adding a soundtrack to your recollections, they bring with them the comfort in knowing that your precious moments breath in the form of music.

In the realm of gifts, a music box stands out like no other. A captivating mix of mechanics and music, a reminiscence of the past, and a celebration of precious moments – all these in a tiny box playing your unique notes. A custom tune music box is a password to your treasure of memories, and deciphering it is a journey in itself.
