The Voice's Season 27 Winner Opens Up About the ‘Savior' That Awaited Him After Rehab
If you've yet to hear Adam David's single, 'Savior,' might I recommend that you stop what you are doing and check it out? (You can listen below.) Not only is it a powerful vocal and an epic, Father John Misty-worthy production, but the lyrics are sharp enough to draw blood. 'I wrote half of it while I was still in active addiction,' The Voice's Season 27 winner tells TVLine, 'and I went through the process of going to treatment.' Every step of the way, the singer continued fighting with the number in hopes of bringing it to a conclusion. 'I did keep trying to finish it, but all I got was this first half,' he says. 'It wasn't until the day that I got out of rehab that I was able to finish that song.

Uche Ojeh, Husband of Today Co-Host Sheinelle Jones, Dead at 45 - Watch On-Air Announcement 'Now I always say that I think that the song itself was like the reward for making it through, you know?' he continues. 'I wrote it as a reminder for me, but it seems to be resonating with a lot of people. And that's a gift. As songwriters, that's our role in the world. Our responsibility is to find the words that other people haven't been able to or can't.' David then asks, no doubt knowing the answer, whether a song has ever expressed something that we've wanted to but haven't been able to. 'And they said it in four words,' he marvels. 'You're like, 'Oh my God, how could… why? It was so simple.' 'That is the dogma of a songwriter, I believe,' he adds, 'and that's the gift that we potentially are able to give to the world. At least I see it that way.' The Voice's 20 Best Performances of All Time View List Check out TVLine's full .

My Favorite Concerts I Saw This Winter
Image Father John Misty Aba Even during this long, often bitterly cold winter, I sometimes made it out of my apartment — please clap — to see live music. To commemorate this monumental human achievement, today I'm offering you a playlist of some of the best artists I've caught onstage so far this year. They include a one-woman band with a flair for electronic wizardry (Time Wharp), a young poet turned songwriter with a gorgeously heavy-hearted voice (Mustafa) and a sharp satirist who knows exactly when to get unexpectedly sincere (Father John Misty). I intend for these occasional reports from live shows to become a new recurring Amplifier feature, so look out for more of them in the near future — once the weather turns temperate enough that I am compelled to leave my home even more frequently. Spring: Please hurry! I spent a hundred bucks on gas, baby, let's just have a good time, Lindsay Last Wednesday, the singer-songwriter Father John Misty played Manhattan's storied Beacon Theater for the first time. Toward the end of the sold-out show, he told the crowd he wanted to commemorate the occasion with a tribute: 'Here's five minutes from Jerry Seinfeld's set from his Beacon run last year.' Classic Father John Misty banter — and not true at all, since he immediately launched into another of his own wryly incisive tunes. FJM (whose real name is Joshua Tillman) certainly has a way with a Harry Nilsson-style ballad, as he demonstrated throughout the Beacon set, but one of my favorite moments of the night came when he played this verbose rocker from his latest album, the wide-ranging 2024 release 'Mahashmashana.' Elaine Benes dance optional. ▶ Listen on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube It remains by far the most imaginative, technically impressive live cover I've seen so far this year: One late January night at Berlin, a small venue in the East Village, the experimental musician Kaye Loggins, who records as Time Wharp, used loop pedals and a distorted electric guitar to build a completely singular instrumental rendition of Joni Mitchell's 'Coyote.' You will, unfortunately, just have to take my word for it, since that seems to have been a one-off performance. But this luminous, hypnotic track from Time Wharp's excellent 2022 album 'Spiro World' gives a sense of Loggins's style and her inventive virtuosity.

British pop artist Self Esteem has been shortlisted for the Mercury Prize; her last album, Prioritise Pleasure, was released in 2021. Meanwhile, American singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten's latest record, We've Been Going About This All Wrong, came out in 2022, also to positive reviews.
