Hiss Golden Messenger have announced the details of their next album, Quietly Blowing It . Coming on the heels of leader M.C. Taylor’s Grammy-nominated 2019 record Terms of My Surrender , the new project from the North Carolina singer-songwriter will be released in June. The second offering from the album is the sparse ballad “If It Comes in the Morning,” which Taylor wrote in the midst of the crisis and upheaval of the spring and summer of 2020. “I suppose it became a song of hope,” Taylor said. “The Staple Singers and Curtis Mayfield were very good at writing these kinds of songs, and I suppose I was looking to their music as inspiration for ‘If It Comes in the Morning.’ When I got stumped on a verse, I called my friend Anaïs Mitchell, and she got me straightened out.” The album’s lead single “Sanctuary,” which features backing vocals from Dawes ’ Taylor Goldsmith, has already become a staple at Americana radio. Taylor’s latest record comes just two years after his … [Read more...] about Hiss Golden Messenger Announce New Album ‘Quietly Blowing It’

Same song, different verse — quite literally, it turns out. On Monday (March 8th), the University of South California’s Annenberg Institute released its latest report on music creator demographics, finding that women still make up meager percentages of artists, songwriters, and producers on music charts and award-nomination slates, marking “no meaningful and sustained increase” in the number of female musicians in the male-governed music-making business in close to a decade. The fourth annual report , conducted by USC ’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative with funding from Spotify, examined the gender and race of artists, songwriters, producers, and other creators across 900 top songs in the last nine years; across 2012 to 2020, women comprised a total 21.6% of all artists, 12.6% of all songwriters, and 2.6% of all producers.
