Lydia Cole

Lydia Cole

Kiwi singer-songwriter Lydia Cole this week releases a second single from her upcoming album.

Sober, which follows the Silver Scroll-nominated Dream, is a slow-burning, pulsing, cinematic plea for "a sober exchange at the end of the day".

"I have never had grand schemes with my music, like to conquer the world, or to be a star," says Cole. "But after 13 years of knowing that music would drive my life, I'm learning to follow the path these songs create, to follow the breath that they seem to breathe, and the spaces they open up to me."

Cole's crowdfunding campaign for her new album reached its target in five days. Album details are still to come.

Anna Coddington has announced details of her Luck/Time album release tour.

Kicking off in Auckland on October 28, she'll then head to Mt Maunganui, Christchurch and Wellington.

The Mount show will be free entry.

The amazing voice from The Weeknd's song Angel is back.

Eighteen-year-old Maty Noyes, who also featured on Kygo's Stay, has released her debut solo single In My Mind. It's a catchy, electronic-heavy dance-pop number along the lines of Selena Gomez and Hailee Steinfeld.

Auckland four-piece Openside have released their debut EP Push Back.

Their cyber-punk pop sound has gained them thousands of fans on Spotify and YouTube, they've opened for Twenty One Pilots live and are set to open for Ellie Goulding.

The six-tracker includes singles Branches and Letting It Out, which they performed on TV's Jono & Ben last week.

"This EP is like an introduction to Openside - who we are and what we're about. We've pretty much been working on these songs since we got together so it's really exciting to finally be able to share them," - says vocalist Possum Plows.

Revisit a classic

With a new release of tickets this week for Guns N Roses' New Zealand concerts, it's time to revisit some of their best music.

Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 were released 25 years ago this week.

Thirty songs over more than 150 minutes, everything about the albums was big.

Especially the stunning 9-minute epic November Rain.

Alongside admirable Dylan and Wings covers were modern classics including Don't Cry, You Could Be Mine, Yesterdays and the outstanding Civil War.
