Zimmerman also teased that there are two new collaborations on the record, including one with an artist 'not from country, from another space.'
'We cooked on this thing. Y'all are gonna love it, I know it. Just be waiting because you guys are gonna be mind-blown when you hear this song,' he said, before acknowledging 'Backup Plan' with his 'idol' Luke Combs.
The singer shared the album cover — which sees him in a tank top and ripped jeans sitting on a truck bed — on his Instagram. 'Thank y'all for being patient while I made this album perfect,' he wrote. 'I HOPE THE WAIT IS WORTH IT.'
A press release for Different Night Same Rodeo teased 'rock-powered country anthems' that are produced by his collaborator Austin Shawn. The LP will also feature his singles 'Backup Plan' with Combs, 'New to Country,' 'Hell or High Water,' and 'Holding On.' The record follows his debut Religiously. The Album, which dropped in May 2023.
'With this being my first album, it's like, 'Oh my gosh. This could be my Traveller,'' he told Rolling Stone at the time, referencing Chris Stapleton's breakthrough. 'I'm excited to see how I grow as a person. What am I going to discover about myself that I didn't know? What am I going to learn this year?'
The musician is set to kick off his New to Country tour in Indianapolis on Friday, with shows in Arkansas, Florida, Northern California, and Nevada. Along with the new songs for his album, he also joined hip-hop act BigXThaPlug on 'All The Way' back in April.
As for Spotify House, the streaming service will host performances from Brothers Osborne, Kelsea Ballerini, Dasha, Rascal Flatts, Lainey Wilson, Shaboozey, Carly Pearce and more throughout the weekend. Zimmerman's performance came after Sam Barber and Gavin Adcock took the stage in celebration of the streaming service's Hot Country playlist, which turns 10 years old.

Jessie Murph's 1965 Song Backlash — Internet Reactions
Earlier this week, Nashville-born singer-songwriter Jessie Murph made her Tonight Show debut, where she performed her controversial song "1965" from her upcoming album Sex Hysteria. The 20-year-old "Wild Ones" singer's performance made its way onto Twitter (or X), and I think it's safe to say it's certainly left its mark on people. The snippet, originally posted by Pop Crave, has over 23 million views and has sparked several viral tweets in conversation about it. More specifically, people can't stop talking about the song's lyrics. In the Tonight Show clip, Murph sings, "I think I'd give up a few rights, if you would just love me like it's 1965." This, understandably, caused some uproar. This user, citing others arguing that the song is satire, called the lyrics "frankly abhorrent". "and yet sabrina carpenter is the one allegedly setting feminism back," this user said, referencing the recent backlash the :Espresso" singer faced for the cover of her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, which depicted Carpenter on her knees with an out-of-frame man pulling her hair. The album cover has since been removed from the singer's Instagram page. Another user highlighted lyrics from the song that weren't in the 30-second snippet shared to social media, such as "I might get a little slap-slap, but you won't hit me up on Snapchat," comparing 1960s relationships to those of today. For reference, here are the lyrics to the other verses in the song, with notable lyrics like, "I would be twenty, and it'd be acceptable for you to be forty, and that is fucked up, I know. But at least you wouldn't drive off before I get in the fuckin' door." And, finally, the performance essentially started to become a meme of its own: So, what do you think? Does it totally cross the line in the midst of an administration actively dismantling women's rights, or do you think this whole thing is a case of misunderstood satire and it's a commentary in and of itself? Tell us your take in the comments. You can also watch the full performance for yourself here:

I Loved Stevie Nicks‘s 'Silver Springs' for Years—Then a Breakup Made Me Actually Understand It
After teasing some sort of reconciliation through cryptic Instagram posts, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham formally announced on Wednesday that they'll be reissuing Buckingham Nicks—the long-forgotten album they released as a duo in 1973 before joining Fleetwood Mac—this September. Considering that the former on-again, off-again couple has been quite publicly feuding since Buckingham was asked to leave the band in 2018 (allegedly at Nicks's request), the news is surprising, to say the least. Over the decades, Buckingham and Nicks's tumultuous relationship yielded some of the greatest breakup songs ever written: tracks like 'Go Your Own Way,' 'Never Going Back Again,' 'Dreams,' and Nicks's spellbinding ballad 'Silver Springs,' which has gone somewhat viral in recent years. I was a shy 16-year-old when I first heard 'Silver Springs,' and it immediately became an obsession. Never mind that I'd never been in a relationship (I'd barely even been kissed); the pleading lyrics and the unfiltered anguish with which Nicks sang about splitting from her longtime boyfriend and musical partner in 1976 changed my world. Soon, I had no fewer than five different recordings of it on repeat: demos, live versions, and the final cut. My favorite was 'Silver Springs (Sessions, Roughs & Outtakes),' featured on one of the countless re-releases of Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album Rumours. It's angrier than the final version and less polished—Nicks at her best, in my opinion. The song came about when, while driving on the freeway, Nicks saw a sign for Silver Springs, Maryland, and loved the name. 'It sounded like a pretty fabulous place to me,' she later told Rolling Stone. 'It's a whole symbolic thing of what [Lindsey] could have been to me.' But due to its length and tempo, 'Silver Springs' was criminally left off Rumours' original tracklist. It was eventually revived with The Dance, the band's hit live album in 1997, and all that old tension culminated in a version even more powerful than the studio cut. From then on, during performances, Nicks would turn her mic stand to face her ex directly, and sing the words she had written about him years prior while Buckingham strummed and harmonized back at her.

Bay Area rock band cuts ties with ‘garbage hole' Spotify over CEO's AI weapons deal
Xiu Xiu, a popular Bay Area indie rock band, is the latest artist to take action against Spotify in protest of the streaming platform's ties to military artificial intelligence technology. "We are currently working to take all of our music off of garbage hole violent armageddon portal Spotify," the San Jose trio revealed in a statement shared to Instagram on Thursday, July 24. Xiu Xiu noted that the process is taking longer than expected due to procedural 'complications.' 'Spotify uses music money to invest in AI war drones,' the caption adds, referring to the platform's co-founder and chief executive, Daniel Ek, who reportedly invested nearly $700 million in European defense technology company Helsing, which is developing AI software for military use. Ek serves as chairman of Helsing and made the investment through his firm Prima Materia, which has been funding the company since 2021. Xiu Xiu told Consequence that their three main labels — Polyvinyl, Kill Rock Stars and Graveface — are in 'full support' of the decision. The group, composed of Jamie Stewart, Angela Seo and David Kendrick, came to the decision a month after San Francisco indie rock band Deerhoof cut ties with Spotify over similar concerns. 'We don't want our music killing people. We don't want our success being tied to AI battle tech,' the Deerhoof wrote in a statement posted to social media Monday, June 30. Its label, Joyful Noise Recordings, backed the choice. 'As a label, we too are sickened by the fact that our releases have inadvertently contributed to the global war machine,' Joyful Noise Records wrote in a separate statement. '(W)e serve the artist. It is ultimately their decision to present their material on whichever platforms they choose.' Several others have also joined the exodus, including the Dutch music label Kalahari Oyster Cult and Australian folk singer Leah Senior. 'As soon as I saw that Daniel Ek is investing in AI military technology, something just snapped and I thought, 'Enough,'' Senior told The Music Network. 'We all know Spotify is bad, has always been bad, but artists are made to feel like we need it, like it's just a necessary evil of the current music world. Well, I'm saying, we don't need them.' Meanwhile, other artists have pulled their music from Spotify due to other grievances with the streaming platform over the years. In 2022, Graham Nash, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell did so in protest of the platform's exclusive deal with podcaster Joe Rogan. Most have since returned.
