Acclaimed singer-songwriter Anya Marina shares her new single and video, “Waiting for a Difference,” via Good Rope Records. “Waiting for a Difference” zones in on the passage of time while the protagonist yearns for love and connection in the midst of an emotionally and politically turbulent time. The song was written while Marina was single and relatively hopeless, wishing things would work out between her and her now husband. “Waiting for a Difference is a song about hoping against hope for a particular outcome, even though all evidence points to the contrary,” shares Marina. The striking music video was directed by Jesse Dufault and filmed at night in the middle of Wall Street in Kingston, NY.

Allen Stone has released the funky new single “Can’t Explain This Love” via ATO Records. The song previews Allen’s upcoming project. “Can’t Explain This Love” was produced by Soulive’s Eric Krasno. "The goal was to write a song that makes you move,” Allen shares. “A tune I could sing and play live that would add energy to my live show. Luckily we found it. All about the love and relationship I have with my beautiful wife. Outside looking in most would wonder how we make it work. So much travel is involved with making a living doing this music thing. Ultimately it only has to make sense to us. You just can’t explain our love.”
