Skout presents: What If Wanting's Not Enough

When the love it's enough

Skout’s haunting new single, "What if Wanting’s Not Enough," holds a magnifying glass to the doubts, second-guessing, and prolonged ambiguity that permeate relationships nearing their end. Anchored by a rubber bridge guitar line and emotive strings, the soundscape Skout meticulously carves out is reminiscent of the best of Ethan Gruska and Phoebe Bridgers’ catalogues.

This song is perfect for contemplative, sad, melancholic, acoustic, indie folk, and singer songwriter playlists.

Listen in Spotify:

Skout is a pair of Nashville-based best friends whose music gives a voice to our innermost fears, aspirations, and uncertainties. While their melodies combine the best of indie-folk and pop, their show-stopping acoustic guitar work is a genre all its own.

Skout began as Laura Valk’s solo project in New York City, where she first built a following and met now-bandmate Connor Gladney.

With the guitar chops of Ben Howard, the live show energy of Johnnyswim, and the lyrical prowess of Phoebe Bridgers, the pair has topped the Spotify Viral charts online and garnered a loyal following in-person after years of touring.

Jukebox January: Day 19

(Queuing for the next morning again, sorry it's very late)

Today: songs starting with S:

Oh my God there are so many songs starting with S. SO MANY. Why are there so many. What the fuck. My notes app is a bloodbath right now I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. Artists make more songs starting with X instead challenge

Anyway I've tried my best to wrangle them but this is going to be an incoherent mess at best. Let's go:

Sata vuotta - BEHM

I don't know why it took me so long to start listening to BEHM, but her latest album has been a constant in my December and January. This song is my favourite on it, I love the violin melody, and I think she has a beautiful voice :)

Senida - Senidah ft. Žene

Continuing my Slovenian music propaganda with Senidah this time.

Sédè - N3

I have to shout this one out because Jan played the guitar on it ^^

Stand by - Extremoduro

I love this song so much. I first heard about it (and this band) when I went on a language exchange in Spain when I was in high school. My exchange partner listened to this song, and even though we haven't kept in touch, it still makes me think of her sometimes. It's been one of my absolute favourites for 10+ years now.

Si te vas - Extremoduro

I normally try not to put too many songs by the same artist in the same post, but i swear to god all the best Extremoduro songs start with S. What's the deal with that.

Salir - Extremoduro

Teenage me listening to this song: hehehe swear words in spanish >:)

Adult me listening to this song: hehehe swear words in spanish >:)

San Francisco - Maxime Le Forestier

San Francisco - Scott McKenzie

Grouping these 2 together because they're sort of about the same thing really, San Francisco during the flower power movement. But I like the vibe of both. Thank you Kuesli for including the other San Francisco I was thinking of, because I somehow had THREE. Madness.

Short Film - Ethan Gruska

This is my favourite song from a very soft, calm album. I love the sort of muted sound from the piano and the slightly mysterious atmosphere.

Le Sud - Nino Ferrer

This song is like. Weirdly depressing at the end and also a bit dated let's be honest, but I think it still has its charm, I learned it in choir as a child and I'm a bit attached to it.

Stay - ČIUTŌ TUTŌ - Monika Linkyte

I have to admit this was not among my favourites on first impression, but I really warmed up to it and it is definitely one of the songs that stayed with me the longest after eurovision, I still very happily listen to it.

Somma Time Man - Salt-N-Pepa

This song is so fun and sounds SO 90's. It's a bit silly and puts me in a good mood.

Something in the Air - Pegasus

I discovered this band as a small festival in Switzerland around the time this album came out, and it was so fun to hear from a band for the first time as they're playing live. I haven't done that much (haven't been to many festivals) but yeah, Pegasus kind of stuck with me since.

Some Things Have to Be Said - Florent Dorin

Yeah I know this song is 9 minutes long and the french accent (and probably questionable English) is uuh discernible, to say the least (though miles better than his earlier songs) but listen, I love this guy so much and this song is such a journey, his music has gotten so much richer as time went on and this is the best example I think.

Sorry - dodie

Speaking of people who's music has gotten much richer with time, this is one of my favourite songs from dodie, I love the strings and the harmonies. At the end it blends into the next song (called When) and I will neveeer not lose my mind when artists do that.

Show me the way - Styx

Still loving you - Scorpions

Yes I have a power ballads playlist and yes I will use it against you >:)

Salut les amoureux - Joe Dassin

I love how perfectly bittersweet this song is, it's about a couple who breaks up on good terms, without any drama, they just go their separate ways. Just a little bit sad but not in a way a typical break up song is.

Satama - KUUMAA

The latest single from Kuumaa, exactly the kind of song they do best, I love it.

Somewhere out there - Donald Glover and Danny Pudi

Yeah this was in my playlist so i'm including it lol, even though it's not a "proper" song. Community is one of my comfort shows and this is from one of the best moments in it :)

Spirit in the Sky - KEiiNO

I'm going to admit a dirty little secret: even though I do like Eurovision, I haven't watched it religiously every year. And so I didn't even know this was a eurovision song until very recently; I only had it in my library because someone on a discord server had made (very good, might I add) playlists for completely unrelated little blorbos. Anyway, very funny that I'm coming back to this song now.

For S I also want to include 2 non-songs:

Starmania: it's a French and Canadian (Québec) musical from the 80s (well, '79 technically, but it feels extremely 80s). It's such an odd thing, it has the camp and flamboyance of the 80s, but a surprisingly dark dystopian plot. It's weirdly dated and not dated at the same time. The original cast had several singers who were or would become big stars in France (and french speaking countries)(including a eurovision winner lol). There's a robot waitress, and a gang, and a guy who's totally not David Bowie. It's pretty weird. The plot is kind of impossible to explain, but you can go listen to the songs, they're really good :)

There's a new version on tour now I think, and honestly I would love to go see it, because I've only ever heard the songs. (Seems pretty expensive though lol)

Single Handed Sailor - Dire Straits

The second thing I want to include is the album Strangeland by Keane. It came out around when I went on a school trip to Spain and I listened to it a lot during the long bus rides. I just have very fond memories associated with it.

And now frankly way too many bonus songs:

The Story - Brandi Carlile

Sinnerman - Nina Simone

Seven Wonders - Fleetwood Mac

Sad Song - Oasis

Sutra - Lollobrigida

Si Tú Me Quieres - Alex Cuba, Gian Marco

Stille Før Du Kom - Oh Land

Sunday Morning - The Velvet Underground and Nico

Someday - City of the Sun

Surrender - Birdy

Statues - Amy Macdonald

Sunset Lover - Petit Biscuit

Samara - Blanco White

Sve Još Miriše Na Nju - Parni Valjak

Sweet Woman - Cris Williamson

Saturn - Sleeping At Last

Sausalito - Lydia Luce

Shut Up and Dance - WALK THE MOON

Strah me je - Jet Black Diamonds

Stranger - Bec Sandridge

Would you believe me if I said I did actually try to cut as many songs as possible? Anyway, if you've read until the end, thank you (what a mess) 💛

Lauren Mayberry Announces Solo Album

Lauren Mayberry will release her debut solo album, Vicious Creature, on December 6th. Today she’s shared the new song “Crocodile Tears.” Lauren Mayberry, the frontwoman for acclaimed electro-pop band CHVRCHES, has announced the release of her eagerly awaited debut solo album, Vicious Creature, coming this December 6th on Island Records. Pre-order is available HERE. Vicious Creature is both a startling new era in Mayberry’s artistry, and the culmination of two decades of life in a band that came before. Across its songs, she writes about sexuality and empowerment from a profoundly personal perspective for the very first time, reconnecting with the icons of her youth (Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey and Kathleen Hanna) as well as ‘90s British girl groups such as All Saints and Sugababes, whose music made a formative impact on her in the 2000s.  For her first full-length release outside of CHVRCHES, Mayberry sought freedom: from rules, expectations and preconceptions. Working with prolific producers like Greg Kurstin, Matthew Korma, Tobias Jesso Jr., Ethan Gruska and Dan McDougall, she accessed not only a new world of inspiration but the deep well of creativity she’s had within her all along. “So much of this process has been an exercise in empowering myself to listen to my own intuition – something I really trained myself out of,” Mayberry says. “That's ultimately why you start making things – because you felt a feeling, and you wanted to articulate that somehow. I think it was important for me to relearn that kind of independence, and recognize what I bring to any table I choose to sit at.” Over the course of the past year, Mayberry has been sharing songs from the new record, most recently the Brit-pop infused “Something in the Air”. Previous releases include “Shame,” “Change Shapes” and “Are You Awake.”  Today, she reveals “Crocodile Tears,” a track written with Matthew Koma and Ethan Gruska. Mayberry wanted to adopt “a sort of character where I could really let go of the idea that I need to be ‘nice,’ because I think that holds so many women back in their lives. If I didn’t have to be seen as ‘nice,’ I would feel comfortable telling certain people to fuck off when they treat me like shit – on this record, and in these songs, I get to do that.”  Listen to “Crocodile Tears” HERE Watch Video HERE Along with the album announcement, Lauren Mayberry has announced a North American tour for early 2025. Beginning January 28th at San Diego’s House of Blues, the tour will take her cross country and back, playing dates in Chicago at Thalia Hall (2/5), NYC at Webster Hall (2/13), Austin at Emo’s (2/26) and back to the west coast, ending in Los Angeles at The Belasco (3/2). See all tour dates below. Mayberry has been in bands since she was 15, and has enjoyed monumental success with CHVRCHES, which has accrued more than 1.7 billion global streams to date and a string of awards and nominations. In 2023, with the approach of the 10th anniversary of CHVRCHES' groundbreaking debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, Mayberry, felt reflective in a way she hadn’t anticipated. Looking back at all of the incredible moments of personal evolution and musical growth during her years with the band, she realized that she had hit a creative wall that she wanted to move through. Much like the artists who only lived in her headphones as a teenager, there was a part of her own artistry she had locked away. She says, “There’s things I’ve never been comfortable performing or sharing with a band of men. As much as my time with the band has always had this feminist narrative underpinning it, a lot of my role felt like it was more about me trying to fit in than leading the conversation, and I wondered what it would look like for me to create under different circumstances.”  When starting work on Vicious Creature, her goal was to push herself harder than ever before to excavate a new level of musical truth from the depths of her creative soul, and to create a record that… https://chorus.fm/news/lauren-mayberry-announces-solo-album/
