Jay Som Cracks Open Comeback Album ‘Belong' With Two New Singles and 2025 Tour Dates
Jay Som is ready to bring us back into her world, or rejoin us in ours. On Oct. 10, the musician will share the full-length LP Belong as her first album in six years. During her absence, the singer-songwriter and producer worked behind the scenes as a collaborator with Lucy Dacus, Troye Sivan, Boygenius, and more, but largely kept her distance from her position as a leading character in indie rock. Now, Jay Som is back to reclaim her place with 'A Million Reasons Why' and 'Float,' her collaboration with Jimmy Eat World's Jim Adkins. 'This song is about desperately trying to hold on to past versions of yourself for self preservation,' the artist born Melina Duterte said of 'Float.' 'The fear of the unknown is so overwhelming that sometimes the best solution is to sit with it instead of fighting or running from it.' The record arrives alongside an official music video directed by Nina Ljeti that inadvertently pays homage to Jimmy Eat World's 'The Middle.'

'I am honored she had space in her vision for me to contribute. And it was a lot of fun to work on.' Jay Som hasn't historically opened the door to collaboration so widely on her own music. With Belong, she embraced its potential. Paramore's Hayley Williams appears as a featured guest on 'Past Lives,' while Mini Trees' Lexi Vega has vocal contributions woven throughout the album. Additional collaborations include Soft Glas' Joao Gonzalez, Mal Hauser, Steph Marziano, and Kyle Pulley. The 11-track record has been described as a blend of 'supercharged power-pop hits and hazy ballads' with 'electronic curiosities.' A few weeks after Belong arrives, Jay Som will take the album on the road. The musician's U.S. tour will begin on Nov. 23 in Los Angeles with additional stops scheduled in Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and more. General sale begins Friday, July 11 at 10 a.m. local time. Jay Som will also join Dacus on tour for select dates from July 25 through Aug. 18. Jay Som Track List1. 'Cards On The Table'2.

Raphael Saadiq Unveils Fall 2025 ‘No Bandwidth' One-Man Show Tour Dates
Raphael Saadiq will be spending one special night in 21 cities across the U.S. later this year on the No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits Tour. 'I've always wanted to do a one-man show,' the musician said in a statement. 'I want to challenge myself. My one-person show has three acts; I will be talking about my career, bringing a couple of instruments to express myself, singing my original music as well as covers of songs I wish I had written, and more. I want it to feel magical and like a Broadway show.' The No Bandwidth Tour began with a three-date stint earlier this year. It was a chance for the veteran musician to showcase his expansive skill set in a new way. In 2024, Saadiq told Rolling Stone he picked up piano lessons during the pandemic. 'Just really being a student and studying music,' he said. 'Trying to sight read, learning theory, just basic stuff. Then when I do start writing, I have an arsenal.'

Saadiq will make stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, and more cities. The live run will wrap on Oct. 14 in Nashville. Tickets will be available via artist presale beginning Wednesday, July 9, at 10 a.m. local time, as well as local presale and Spotify presale beginning Thursday, July 10. General sale will follow on Friday, July 11, at 10 a.m. local time. Saadiq's one-man show might be the predecessor to a much larger ensemble show. 'I still want to create an 11-piece band,' he told RS, entertaining the idea of creating an Earth, Wind, and Fire-style group. 'I know economically it's not even doable, but I think I could make it work.' For now, it will be all Saadiq during his one-night only concert run.
