In the past 24 hours, the music world has seen a flurry of exciting developments, spanning various genres and artists.

Starting with new releases, February 14th, 2025, is marked by several notable drops. Abby Jasmine's new album, "Closure," is set to release on Valentine's Day, featuring a 14-song tracklist that she previewed earlier in January[3].

On the alternative and indie front, bands like MANDRAGORA UK, Ómoia, and Sunday Best are making waves. MANDRAGORA UK has released their single "Box Jumper," a melodic metal track that takes listeners on an emotive journey. Ómoia is releasing two singles, "In This Moment" and "Section 28," showcasing a range from tender to righteous anger. Sunday Best's single "Ghost" highlights their unique blend of beautiful cleans and chunky, angular riffs[1].

In the metal and hardcore scene, several bands have new releases. Bleeding Through's "NINE," Eighteen April's "Visions," and Windwaker's "HYPERVIOLENCE (Expansion Pack)" are among the notable releases. Other bands like LIMBS, low before the breeze, and Mémoire are also dropping new singles[1].

Moving to industry updates, the music landscape is seeing significant shifts. Following a dynamic 2024, where investment returned to the music space with major deals like Sony Music buying Queen's music rights for $1.3 billion, the industry is poised for further growth. The year 2024 also saw landmark lawsuits, including the Department of Justice's case against Live Nation-Ticketmaster for operating an unfair monopoly, and various copyright infringement cases involving high-profile artists[2].

In terms of performances, Beyoncé's announcement of her 2025 Cowboy Carter tour is generating considerable excitement. This follows her highly successful Renaissance World Tour, which earned over $592 million. Beyoncé's ability to create an event beyond just her music is a lesson for independent musicians looking to build a movement around their work[4].

The use of social media platforms is also evolving, particularly with the decline of TikTok in the US. Artists are now turning to platforms like Triller, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels to reach a wider audience. The key strategy is to diversify content and not rely on a single platform[4].

On the streaming front, transparency is becoming a critical issue. Drake recently dropped his case against Spotify and Universal Music Group over allegations of phony streaming boosts, highlighting the ongoing debate about streaming practices and artist rights[4].

Finally, the Grammy Awards have celebrated innovation and genre-breaking music. Kendrick Lamar won a Grammy for his rap song "Not Like Us," and St. Vincent took home awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance for "All Born Screaming." These wins underscore the importance of creativity and storytelling in music[4].

In the latest music news, several notable releases and events have captured the attention of music enthusiasts across various genres.

Starting with new releases, February 2025 has seen a slew of interesting albums. Franz Ferdinand's latest, "The Human Fear," has been making waves despite some mixed reviews.

Ethel Cain's "Perverts," released on January 8, offers a starkly different listening experience. This nearly 90-minute EP is a minimalist, drone-heavy work that invites listeners to immerse themselves in its sonic textures and emotional depth[1].
