Peter Gabriel Shares New Single 'This Is Home'
Peter Gabriel recently released the tenth track from his upcoming album i/o.
This September full moon release is titled "This Is Home" and the first version to be heard is the Dark-Side Mix by Tchad Blake.
It comes with artwork from David Moreno and his work "Conexión de catedral II."
The song was written and produced by Gabriel, who describes it as "a love song."
Though he doesn't appear on the final track, some of the early brainstorming for what was to become "This Is Home" was done with DJ and producer Skrillex.
"This Is Home" features contributions from a Swedish male voice choir called Orphei Drangar, as well as another orchestral arrangement from John Metcalfe.
Upcoming versions are Bright-Side Mix by Mark 'Spike' Stent and In-Side Mix by Hans-Martin Buff, to be released in mid-October on the next new moon.

In a recent interview with Amazon Music, the pop superstar revealed her top three picks from the 12-track album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Kelly Clarkson Shares 'You Don't Make Me Cry' Featuring Daughter River Rose
Kelly Clarkson recently released "You Don't Make Me Cry," a collaboration featuring her 9-year-old daughter River Rose.
The song is one of the eight bonus tracks on the new deluxe edition of Clarkson's latest album, Chemistry.
Clarkson revealed on Instagram that River recorded the track when she was just 5 years old.
The song begins with River singing some sounds in an adorably auto-tuned vocal run that leads into Clarkson's catchy pop track. The girl's voice appears again at the end of the song, with a pitch-perfect "The End!"
"And you don't make me cry/And I cry at everything/You don't make me feel and I feel more than most now/That says something, doesn't it?/So I'm picking you from my garden, weeds aren't allowed in/Guess you missed that," Clarkson sings.
A few weeks ago, River and her younger brother, Remington Alexander, both joined Clarkson on stage at one of the final shows of her Las Vegas residency.
Remington danced his way through Clarkson's "Whole Lotta Woman," and River joined her mom for a performance of 2015's "Heartbreak Song."

Bruce Springsteen Postpones Remaining 2023 Tour Dates Amid Recovery From Peptic Ulcer Disease
Bruce Springsteen has announced that out of an abundance of caution, all of his remaining 2023 tour dates with The E Street Band will be postponed until 2024 amid his recovery from peptic ulcer disease.
The rock legend has continued to recover steadily from peptic ulcer disease over the past few weeks and will continue treatment through the rest of the year on doctor's advice.
Rescheduled dates for each of the 2023 shows, including those postponed earlier this month, will be announced next week, all taking place at their originally scheduled venues.
When the new 2024 dates are announced, those unable to attend the shows who purchased their tickets through official ticketing companies have 30 days to request a refund. All tickets for postponed performances will remain valid for the newly announced dates.
"Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I'm on the mend and can't wait to see you all next year," said Springsteen.
The tour by Springsteen and his backing band, which began on February 1, has been interrupted many times since then.
The shows on August 16 and 18 in Philadelphia and August 28 in Washington, D.C., were postponed due to Springsteen having Covid.
Springsteen announced the postponement of eight shows scheduled between September 7 and 29 because he was undergoing treatment for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease and that doctors recommended he not perform live.

Kane Brown Releases Phil Collins-Sampling Single 'I Can Feel It'
Country music star Kane Brown recently released his latest single, "I Can Feel It." "I can feel it in the air / Feel it in the whiskey in my hand / Your hips, your body tells me when you start to dance / Maybe this is turning into a 'we should probably get up out of here' / Oh baby I swear / I can feel it in the air," Brown sings in the chorus.
Brown's song samples the famous drum part from Phil Collins' hit "In the Air Tonight." The former Genesis singer is listed among the songwriters on "I Can Feel It," along with Brown, Gabe Foust and Jaxson Free.
"It's a legendary drum fill and it's a legendary song. There's no way I could not do that," Brown told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 in reference to including Collins' name in the credits. "I'm the type of guy that I don't like to screw anybody over. I feel like good karma is, that's what's going to keep you going in life."
He added, "Even if it was a new guy that was working at a small store nobody knew about, I'd definitely give him writer's credit. Phil could have said no, so I'm glad that he let me use the song."

Duran Duran Share 'Black Moonlight' Featuring Nile Rodgers
Duran Duran recently released a brand new single, "Black Moonlight," featuring longtime friend and collaborator Nile Rodgers.
"Black Moonlight" is a song from the new wave band's upcoming album Danse Macabre, due for release on October 27 on Tape Modern via BMG.
The second of three brand new songs featured on the album, "Black Moonlight" sees Duran Duran reunite with Rodgers in a timeless display of dance-rock glamour. The song also features Nick Rhodes on keyboard and former bandmember Andy Taylor on guitar.
Speaking about "Black Moonlight," Rhodes said, "Nile Rogers is a force of nature. When we get into a room, we start playing, and magic happens. Nile always says that CHIC is his first band, and Duran Duran is his second. Thematically, I personally prefer the moon to the sun. Simon took the idea and ran with it."
Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon elaborates, "'Black Moonlight' is this classic Duran Duran-Nile Rodgers collaboration. When Nile started playing his guitar in the studio, he really inspired everyone with his riff, and the song just kind of wrote itself."
The 13-track Danse Macabre features Duran Duran covers of songs by Billie Eilish, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cerrone and The Specials.
The album is available to pre-order at https://duranduran.lnk.to/DanseMacabreAlbumPR
