Latin Artist on the Rise: How Singer-Songwriter GALE Is Turning Her ‘Superpower’ Into a Fruitful Career
When GALE wrote her first song at age seven, she thought she might be a superhero. Titled “Amor Sincero,” the salsa track was dedicated to a boy who didn’t like her back. “When I finished writing it, I was like, ‘Wait, did I just create something that didn’t exist just by using a melody and chords?’” she recalls. “I thought I had a superpower. Since then, I’ve just kept going.” Expressing herself through music came easily to the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, who grew up surrounded by artistic minds. Her father is also a musician — who, along with his band, performs at local events. Her grandfather was a professional cuatro player. Meanwhile, her mother was an actress who performed theater. “I was always free to experiment,” says the 29-year-old, who’s written songs for artists such...

Rich Fayden has been known as a singer-songwriter who can bridge together modern sounds with retro influences, creating songs that resonate with generations of music fans.

Fayden has now reworked the R&B classic, producing dark, ominous soundscapes that reimagine it for today’s dancefloors. “Sticking to what works while not getting in the way of the outcome is often t...

US Senate Antitrust Panel to Hold Hearing on Ticketmaster’s Market Dominance
A US Senate antitrust panel is set to hold a hearing about the lack of competition in the country’s ticket-selling market following Ticketmaster‘s catastrophic sale of passes for Taylor Swift’s upcoming tour. Senator Amy Klobuchar, who will chair the panel, contended in a letter that Ticketmaster and Live Nation should part ways if they have “any misconduct” during an ongoing investigation. “The high fees, site disruptions and cancellations that customers experienced shows how Ticketmaster’s dominant market position means the company does not face any pressure to continually innovate and improve,” the senator said. “We will hold a hearing on how consolidation in the live entertainment and ticketing industry harms customers and artists alike.” Meanwhile, Ticketmaster rejected claims of...
