Lana Del Rey Previews New Song She Wrote After Coachella

(Radio.com) Lana Del Rey attended Coachella over the weekend and felt torn between two extremes -- elation to appear at the festival, and anxiety about the state of the world. On her way out of the festival, Del Rey stopped by a sequoia grove and channeled that ambivalence into a songwriting session that explored her inner conflict.

'I'm not gonna lie -- I had complex feelings about spending the weekend dancing whilst watching tensions w North Korea mount," she wrote on social media. "I find it's a tightrope of everything going on in the world and also having enough space and time to appreciate God's good earth the way it was intended to be appreciated."

Del Rey is fairly modest about what one song can achieve but decided to share a video snippet nevertheless. "I just wanted to share this in hopes that one individual's hope and prayer for peace might contribute to the possibility of it in the long run." Listen to Lana's new song here.

Hugh Masterson Announces New Album 'Lost + Found'

Americana star Hugh Masterson has announced that he will be releasing his debut solo album, which will be entitled "Lost + Found", on June 2nd. We were send the following details:

The six songs cover a heartfelt journey through surviving loss and life changes while gaining self-awareness through experience. His self-deprecating way of viewing himself is endearing, and his songs are deeply personal. "I use songwriting as therapy," he says. "I think other people will relate to these songs. Finding happiness daily is not an easy thing."

Recorded at Key Club Recording Co. in Benton Harbor, Wisconsin, the album was co-produced by Masterson and Bill Skibbe, best known as engineer for The Black Keys, Dead Weather, The Kills and many others. The duo succeeded in bringing Masterson's own unique perspective to the Americana music he makes, his sound boasting a Midwestern bounce and jangle coupled with Nashville wail and grit. It's easy, it's familiar, it's twangy-goodness, pedal-steel Southern rock; it's a dusty ride down a road winding through rural Wisconsin (he grew up in the small town of Butternut, Wisconsin) or backwoods Tennessee.

Buckstein Announces New EP 'Country Side'

Country music star Buckstein have announced that he will be releasing a brand new EP entitled "Country Side" on June 2nd. We were sent the following details:

The 5-song recording-which includes four original tracks and one cover-was produced by Andy Rok (one of the founding members of The Flobots) and engineered at The Blasting Room in Ft. Collins, Colorado. With a "no-fear-of-the-edge" mentality that hooks the non-country-lovin' folk, coupled with traditional vibes that will bring to mind a modern-day John Wayne, Buckstein fights to create something electric that grabs you and makes you look up. He's a 6'4" bass-baritone powerhouse who once hit 200 million television sets worldwide as a contestant on "American Idol."

"There's a lot of heart in these five tunes," Buckstein says. "Making them has been a very valuable experience. It has shown me not only where I am but where I want to go from here." Buckstein's goal is to bring soul to everything he does. "What people seem to respond most to in my live performances is my passion, so I worked hard to bring that to the record." His sound commonly gets compared a lot to the great bass-baritones of his time: Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Josh Turner, and Chris Young. Read more here.
