Warren Zeiders Announces New Project Relapse, Out August 23

 Today, Warren Zeiders announces a new project titled Relapse, arriving August 23 via Warner Records. Pre-save HERE. The 10-track project features recent standout singles “Betrayal” and the title track “Relapse,” which has already amassed more than 15.2M US streams since its June release. Produced by Mike Elizondo (Brothers Osborne, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”), the project is a sonic exploration of his signature country-rock growl, while also offering more story-driven, acoustic vocals.

The newest – and third – song out from Relapse is titled “Addictions.” Listen HERE. Written by Zeiders, Rivers Rutherford and Alex Maxwell, the brooding song finds Zeiders at his most vulnerable, battling his head and his heart and ultimately succumbing to his addictions (in love).

Relapse follows Zeiders’ acclaimed 2023 debut album Pretty Little Poison. The album earned Zeiders his first No. 1 single on country radio for the double-platinum title track, which peaked in the Top 25 on Billboard’s Top 100, earned 380M global streams and earned Zeiders the CMT Award for “Breakthrough Male Video of the Year.”

Next Friday, July 19, Zeiders will be featured on the star-studded Twisters soundtrack with his song “Cards I’ve Been Dealt.” In August, he will join Jelly Roll as direct support for his Fall The Beautifully Broken Tour. The arena tour kicks off on August 27th in Salt Lake City and includes stops at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, LA’s Crypto.com Arena, Chicago’s United Center and more. He will kick-off 2025 with this first-ever European headlining tour.

Phil Collins Details BOTH SIDES (ALL THE SIDES) 5-LP Vinyl Boxset

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Phil Collins’ fifth solo studio album, Both Sides, it is to be reissued as a special edition 5-LP box set, releasing on September 20. Pre-order HERE.

This deluxe edition contains the remastered full original album, cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, and is a compendium of early demo tracks from the recording of the album as well as rarities from the singles originally released on the album – “Both Sides of the Story,” “Everyday” and “We Wait and We Wonder.” Both Sides (All The Sides) brings this full collection together with live tracks from the era, such as “Can’t Turn Back the Years,” “Both Sides of the Story” taken from Collins’ MTV Unplugged performance, “Doesn’t Anybody Stay Together Anymore” and more, as one release for the first time on vinyl. The set is housed in a slipcase with picture sleeves and a 16-page booklet containing newly written and extensive liner notes by esteemed journalist Michael Hann.

Proclaimed by Collins as his most personal album to that point in his career, Both Sides, originally released in 1993, is Phil Collins’ fifth album and was written, performed and produced all by Collins himself at his home studio in just six weeks. In a 2016 interview with The Guardian newspaper, Collins named it as his “favorite album from a songwriting and creative perspective,” going on to reveal how “… the songs just streamed out of me, and as a writer, that’s the kind of thing that you dream of.”

Upon its original release, the album reached No. 1 in the UK and throughout Europe and No. 13 in the US and has gone on to be a global multi-platinum seller.

As written by Michael Hann in his notes, “Time has magnified its virtues, and perspective has amplified its truths. Both Sides may not have been the monster hit its predecessors were, but it might be the most important record in the Phil Collins discography.”

Also announced today is Live From the Board: Official Bootleg, a limited-edition 10-inch vinyl for RSD Black Friday (November 29). This four-track EP was originally released in 1995 and features songs recorded on the Both Sides tour in 1994 under the artist name Phil Collins & The Indescribable Din. It features the tracks “Sussudio,” “Easy Lover,” “Separate Lives,” and “My Girl.”
