Julia Miralles Releases Powerful New Single: ‘Just One Minute (What a Waste)'
Rising indie-pop artist Julia Miralles has released her bold and emotionally-charged new single, 'Just One Minute (What a Waste).' The track, available now for streaming here, showcases Julia's signature lyrical vulnerability and soaring vocals, wrapped in a richly dynamic production. The single was produced by John Faye, acclaimed frontman of The Caulfields, and mixed and mastered at the legendary Studio 4 in Conshohocken, PA. 'Just One Minute (What a Waste)' explores the weight of emotional miscommunication and the brief but painful moments that can define — and undo — a connection. Julia's poignant lyrics and raw delivery cut to the core, capturing the complexity of heartbreak in just under four minutes. 'I wanted to capture how it feels when a single moment undoes everything — and how powerless that can make you feel,' says Miralles. 'Working with John and recording at Studio 4 made it possible to bring that vision to life.' The single is Julia's most polished and personal release to date and marks the beginning of a new chapter in her evolving sound — blending alt-pop energy with intimate storytelling.

An Unearthed Joni Mitchell Jazz Demo, and 11 More New Songs
Every Friday, pop critics for The New York Times weigh in on the week's most notable new tracks. Listen to the Playlist on Spotify here (or find our profile: nytimes) and at Apple Music here, and sign up for The Amplifier, a twice-weekly guide to new and old songs. Joni Mitchell, 'Be Cool' The first preview of 'Joni's Jazz,' an archival collection of Joni Mitchell's collaborations with jazz musicians, is this 1980 demo of 'Be Cool,' a song that featured Wayne Shorter on saxophone when it was released in 1982 on 'Wild Things Run Fast.' This version — two guitars, drums and a click track — doesn't have all its lyrics yet. It doesn't need them. Instead, Mitchell flaunts some bold, sure-footed scat-singing. The groove and the attitude — '50-50 fire and ice' — were already fully formed. Sarah McLachlan, 'Better Broken' Sarah McLachlan ponders giving a second chance to a fraught, long-ago relationship in 'Better Broken,' her first new song since 2016 and the title track of a coming album. It's in vintage McLachlan style: a stately piano ballad with a melody that climbs gradually and holds some aching notes. She knows the possible rationalizations, envisioning 'a jagged edge worn smooth by time'; she also, it seems, knows better. Caroline Polachek, 'On the Beach' It was probably inevitable that Caroline Polachek — whose pop pushes toward the posthuman without losing physical connection — would fulfill a videogame commission. With the hyperpop producer Danny L Harle, she created 'On the Beach' for Hideo Kojima's game Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. She sings about Sanzu — the Japanese analog of the river Styx, dividing life and death — in a slow march with a melody that leaps to superhuman, computer-tuned peaks and valleys. She still sounds awe-struck. Us3, 'Resist the Rat Race' In the 1990s and early 2000s, the British group Us3, led by Geoff Wilkinson, backed rappers with jazz grooves, mixing samples — primarily vintage Blue Note jazz tracks — with performances. Now Us3 has returned as Wilkinson's instrumental band, still merging loops, beats and live musicians — now with arrangements for 18 brasses and reeds. A low-slung piano vamp and programmed trap drums run throughout 'Resist the Rat Race,' topped by tootling synthesizer melodies and dense horn-section outbursts worthy of Gil Evans and Henry Mancini. It's a swaggering alliance of human and machine. Camilo, 'Maldito ChatGPT' Artificial intelligence matchmaking fails completely in Camilo's 'Maldito ChatGPT' ('Damned ChatGPT'). When he tells ChatGPT the attributes of his ideal partner, the system insists he's chosen the wrong person, sabotaging his confidence. 'I make a list of everything I've always dreamed of / And it looks nothing like the person next to me,' he sings. The track feels transparent, with a steady, subdued beat and skeletal piano chords. But as with an A.I. interface, there's a lot going on under the surface: percussion, vocals, pizzicato strings, echoes. True to chatbot conventions, the A.I. ends its response with a question; Camilo can barely sputter an incredulous reply. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Lewis Capaldi is back! Singer returns after two years with powerful new single Survive following career hiatus - amid reports 'comeback song will coincide with secret Glastonbury set'
Lewis Capaldi is making a return to the music industry with a brand new single, Survive. The powerful track is the Scottish singer's first offering in two years following a career hiatus due to his battle with Tourettes. Lewis, 28, previously announced he would be taking a break away from the spotlight for his mental health after performing at Glastonbury in June 2023 where he struggled with his Tourette's symptoms. But on Friday, he shocked fans by announcing his comeback on Instagram, sharing a snippet of the song and the Henry Dockrill-directed accompanying music video. Captioning his exciting post, he simply wrote: 'It's been a while…' before directing his followers to the link to his song in his bio. The short video features sweet moments throughout Lewis' life and career, including snippets from his childhood. The new song has been described as a 'brutally honest track that addresses mental health challenges of self-doubt and despair', highlighting the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury performance. It features heartbreaking lyrics including: 'Most nights I fear that I'm not enough, I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up.' However, more defiant lines include: 'I swear to God I'll survive, if it kills me to, I'm gonna' get up and try, if it's the last thing I'll do.' Lewis once again teamed up with collaborator Romans for the track, with the songwriter having famously co-wrote Lewis' megahit Someone You Loved. The star's announcement on Instagram sent his fans wild, with many sharing their excitement at his comeback in the comments. They penned: 'Can we all stand up and give this young man the around of applause he deserves, for stepping back and taking the time to seek the help he needed. What a role model. Welcome back Lewis. The world is a brighter place with you in it.' 'God said "Let there be light" and he gave us our Lewis Capaldi back. Id be lying if I didn't say I wasn't crying. You have been so missed. I love you!!' 'you've been so missed. We are all exactly where you left us ❤️' Captioning his exciting post, he simply wrote: 'It's been a while…' before directing his followers to the link to his song in his bio The star's announcement on Instagram sent his fans wild, with many sharing their excitement at his comeback in the comments 'Not me literally tearing up when I see a post from you again. I've missed you, but thank you for putting yourself first. Welcome back.' It comes amid reports Lewis' new song will coincide with his big stage return at Glastonbury, two years after he broke down onstage at the festival. Following his emotional set at Worthy Farm in June 2023, the singer, 28, took time off to focus on his mental health and to 'adjust to the impact' of his Tourette's diagnosis. But earlier this month, the Mail on Sunday revealed that Lewis was set to return to the spotlight with a performance at this year's festival, in the 'secret slot' on Friday at the Pyramid Stage after Alanis Morrisette. And now it has been claimed that the Scottish star will release his first single since he dropped Strangers and A Cure For Minds Unwell in January last year, to coincide with his Glastonbury set A source told The Sun: 'Lewis took a decent chunk of time away and now he's ready for his fans to hear what he has been working on. 'Tomorrow is a huge day for him. He will be releasing a brand new single and it is his Pyramid Stage performance. He is in a great place and feels ready to come back into the spotlight.' The insider added that Lewis was 'raring to go' after taking a career hiatus to work on his mental and physical health. They said: 'Naturally there will always be nerves but he feels confident and assured. He is firing on all cylinders and there's no doubt this single will go straight to No1, which will give Lewis a massive boost.' During his last performance at Glastonbury two years ago, Lewis was coming out of a three-week mental health hiatus he had taken to 'rest and recover'. Returning to the stage, the singer admitted he had been 's**t scared' to perform as he opened up about his mental health struggles and battle against Tourette's. The neurological condition is characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics, and can cause speech and voice abnormalities. In the middle of his set, Lewis confessed that he was struggling with his Tourette's and said his voice had 'packed it in', after coughing throughout the show. However, his supportive fans rallied around him, with the show coming to an heartwarming close as the supportive crowd sang out his hit Someone You Love at the top of their voices. Lewis emotionally left the stage, saying: 'Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself'. Afterwards, he announced he would be 'taking a break for the foreseeable future' as it was 'obvious' he needs to spend 'much more time getting my mental and physical health in order'. The hitmaker, who had been due to embark upon a world tour, explained he needed time to ' adjust to the impact' of living with Tourette's, admitting it was 'the most difficult [decision] of my life'. Lewis had charted his struggles with the condition in a documentary How I'm Feeling now, which aired in April 2023, two months before his breakdown at Glastonbury. But he has teased that he would be back with new music, sharing a New Year's Eve update in 2023 for fans where he said: 'I'm really happy to say I've noticed a marked improvement in both since I decided to take some time off back in June. 'For now I'm going to continue taking some time to carry on looking after myself, maybe writing some music and taking a moment to reflect on some of the most incredible years of my life. 'I want to make absolutely sure I'm 100% before getting back out there again properly for more shows and doing what I love more than anything! 'These songs mean the world to me and I'd be gutted if I'd not been able to share them. Hope this tides you all over until we can get in a room and sing them together some day very soon!' Lewis also thanked fans for their support, saying their reaction has been 'nothing I've ever experienced and has made me more excited than ever to return to doing what I love at some point in the not too distant future'. And last month, he took to the stage for a secret performance at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh last month - the first time he has performed Worthy Farm. Headliner Tom Walker said Lewis made a 'last minute' decision to perform at the low-key gig, and fans were encouraged to 'stick around' for a surprise act. He performed six songs, including his 2019 hit Someone You Loved, at the event, which was to help raise funds for the suicide prevention charity, Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm). Lewis released his first album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent in 2019, followed by Broken by Desire to be Heavenly Sent in 2023, which debuted at No 1 with 95,000 sold, making it the fastest- selling album of the year. WHAT IS TOURETTE'S SYNDROME? Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics. It usually starts during childhood and continues into adulthood. Tics can be either be vocal or physical. In many cases Tourette's syndrome runs in families and it's often associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Tourette's syndrome is named after the French doctor, Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described the syndrome and its symptoms in the 19th century. There's no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but treatment can help to control the symptoms.
