Echosmith frontwoman Sydney (Sierota) Quiseng, who is making a name for herself in the Country/Americana space, has released her new solo single “When a Good Thing Ends.” Capturing the dizzying heartache of watching something you love slip away and learning to let it go, “When a Good Thing Ends” showcases the emotive vocals and signature storytelling that have cemented Quiseng as an indie-pop superstar.
“‘When a Good Thing Ends’ captures the heartache of watching something slip away, even when you see it coming,” shares Quiseng on the new single. “It’s that dizzy feeling of moving forward when your heart’s left behind. It’s a song for anyone learning to let go.”
From co-writing Echosmith’s quadruple-platinum hit “Cool Kids” to forging her path as a solo artist in Nashville, Quiseng’s journey has been defined by reflection, resilience, and self-discovery. Arriving on the heels of recent single “Coffee Shop in Kyoto,” “When a Good Thing Ends” is a new chapter in her story, offering listeners an unfiltered look into her heart and mind that carries forward the authenticity listeners have always connected with. Continuing her evolution as a solo artist, the universally relatable track leans into the emotional weight of endings to explore the uneasy space between holding on and moving forward when something meaningful begins to fade.
In celebration of her new music and the start of her journey as a mom-to-be, Quiseng and Echosmith will be performing at The Mint in Los Angeles on January 19 for a special, one-off show to celebrate her baby shower. The intimate evening will feature a full concert from Echosmith, solo songs from Quiseng, and a few fun surprises to celebrate this joyous moment with their hometown fans.

Paul Boddy - Soul Gone Blu' (EP).
Paul Boddy; Pennsylvania Blues Hall of Fame inductee, and SlideWinder Blues Band front-man, has been working on a solo E.P. This collection of Northern Soul songs helped define music for Paul while growing up in England in the 60’s and 70’s. The rhythm section is comprised of Aaron Comess on drums (Spin Doctors) Jack Daley on bass (Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Dana Fuchs) & Rob Clores on the organ (Black Crowes). Guests include Sonny Landreth, Jessie Wagner, Lynn Lockamy, The Cinelli Brothers, Mikey Jr. & Early Times.
One Hundred Years has been reimagined with Early Times providing dueling vocals and guitars, originally recorded by Freddy (later spelled Freddie) King on the Federal label. James Brown’s Chonnie-On-Chon permits Paul to stretch out on the slide guitar while answering to Mikey Jr’s soulful harp.
Every Dog’s Got His Day takes us south to NOLA where Eddie Bo penned this big hit. Paul is again joined by his good friend Mikey Jr. on harp. Tina and Ike Turner’s Cussin’, Cryin’ & Carryin’ On was a bit out of reach for Paul’s voice, so he is helped out here by Jessie Wagner from Little Steven’s band and Lynn Lockamy. So Is The Sun is a collaboration between Paul and members of The Cinelli Brothers. Marco Cinelli is singing with Paul, while Tom Jones plays the Harmonica parts.
Lastly, Need Your Love So Bad is a revisit of Peter Green’s masterful slow Blues. This track features Paul’s soulful fretted guitar during the intro solo. Then Sonny Landreth takes over on the slide in the middle section and the outro.

Big Stir Records kicks off their 2026 release year with a single from the final 2025 album The Gold Needles' Mood Elevator as a potent reminder of just how much the new record from the British indie rockers brightened the end of the year. “Keep On Telling Me Why,” the fifth track from the acclaimed new album sees it's standalone release, today January 2 on all digital platforms worldwide.
The instrumental work on this track is infectious, hooks abound, and it has a party feel despite the lyrics touching upon the thorny subject of infidelity. It isn't a judgmental song, but an exploration of its causes and conclusions.
Perhaps more importantly, it's an energetic rocker with an instantly memorable chorus and a fitting finale to the quintology of singles from Mood Elevator, which can now boast fully half of its tracks seeing standalone releases and noteworthy airplay in the US, UK, and beyond.
