FLETCHER – Oooh, we’ve got a bit of live stuff! Queer pop powerhouse FLETCHER is back with Would I Still Love Me If I Really Knew Me? (Live from California), a stripped-back companion to her acclaimed third studio album. Out now via Capitol Records, the five-track live EP captures her most vulnerable songs in raw form, with GRAMMY-winning musicians Jennifer Decilveo and Shane McAnally accompanying her. Filmed amid California’s mountains, the project showcases FLETCHER’s intimacy, honesty, and soaring artistry in its purest state.

Winter Andrews – Singer/actor Winter Andrews is out now with “Babel,” a powerful new single from his forthcoming debut EP, ’til the moon fades away (due out November 21). Known for delivering raw and vulnerable performances on TV staples like Law & Order: SVU and Criminal Minds: Evolution, Andrews now channels that same cinematic depth into music. With soaring strings from Grammy-winner Rob Moose, “Babel” spirals through betrayal, shame, and collapse, serving as a torch song for the modern age of self-destructiveness and a haunting preview of Andrews’ mythic indie-folk vision. We’re fans!

The new edition features the original record alongside B-sides, unreleased live recordings, and a Blu-ray surround mix, plus brand-new remixes including Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory’s electrifying acid rework of “You Never Know.” With hits like “Ooh La La,” “Ride A White Horse,” and “Number 1,” Supernature cemented the duo’s legacy as pioneers of seductive, futuristic pop that still reverberates today.
