A “Little Story” With Big Potential

Their newest single, “Little Story,” is a heartfelt piano-rock track that blends raw emotion with radio-ready production. The song has quickly gained traction, sparking industry attention and fan excitement alike.

Released ahead of a possible record deal with Spectra Music Group, “Little Story” solidifies TWOFEW’s reputation as one of the most compelling emerging acts in the alt-rock scene. The track dives deep into themes of vulnerability and storytelling—something the band feels is often missing in today’s mainstream rock.

From “Lovestruck” to Love from Labels

Before “Little Story,” TWOFEW also made waves with “Lovestruck,” a high-energy anthem released just in time for Valentine’s Day. Combining pop-rock vibes with a hard-hitting chorus, the track showcased the band’s ability to shift between tenderness and power seamlessly.

Both releases are helping to pave the way for TWOFEW’s expanding reach and upcoming label collaboration.

What’s Next for TWOFEW?

In the Z Radio Live interview, the band hinted at more music on the way and a growing partnership with Spectra Music Group. If “Little Story” is any indication, fans can expect powerful performances, poignant lyrics, and more major industry moves in 2025.

Stay tuned — this is just the beginning of TWOFEW’s next chapter.

Justin Timberlake has sold the rights of all his previously released tracks to Hipgnosis Song Management, joining the bulk of megastars who have sold their music catalogs recently.

Hipgnosis Song Management has acquired all of Timberlake’s rights, including those to songs like ‘Rock Your Body,’ ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling,’ and ‘SexyBack.’ The agreement covers Timberlake’s publishing rights but not his recording rights, which include songs he wrote or co-wrote.

Some of NSYNC’s best-known songs, such as ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’ and ‘Bye Bye Bye,’ are not included in the sale since he was not a writer on them, but the bulk of his solo work is. The sale’s financial terms have not been disclosed.

“I am excited to be partnering with [Hipgnosis’s CEO and founder] Merck [Mercuriadis] and Hipgnosis – he values artists and their creative work and has always been a strong supporter of songwriters and storytelling,” Timberlake said in a statement (via Rolling Stone). I look forward to entering this next chapter.”

“Justin’s incredible catalog will join other amazing works at Hipgnosis, which we know will serve as a great steward of his work,” Mercuriadis said. “We look forward to a great partnership between Justin and Hipgnosis.”

Timberlake is one of several musicians whose song catalogs have been sold in recent years. Pop superstars such as Bruno Mars and Ryan Tedder have also sold their publishing rights, but the pattern is most prevalent among older artists who have left their musical careers in the hands of music firms while pocketing enormous sums of money for themselves and their families.

In the last year, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan have sold their publishing and recording rights for hundreds of millions of dollars, while Pink Floyd is apparently looking to sell their catalog for a similar sum.

Leonard Cohen’s estate agreed to an undisclosed sum with the Hipgnosis Songs Fund earlier this year.

According to Rolling Stone, the contract includes all 278 songs written by Cohen, including his most known songs “Suzanne,” “Hallelujah,” “So Long, Marianne,” “First We Take Manhattan,” and others.

Hipgnosis has spent more than $2 billion purchasing the rights to songs by renowned artists like Blondie, Neil Young, Shakira, producer Bob Rock, Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, and many more.

John Mayer, who has spent most of his career at Columbia Records, shocked fans on Friday by announcing his departure from the label. The singer revealed on Friday that he will not be renewing his contract with the record company with which he released eight studio albums, most recently Sob Rock.

“After 21 years, eight studio albums, and some wonderful personal and creative relationships, I have decided not to renew my recording agreement with Columbia Records,” he posted on Instagram. “Hard as it is to say goodbye, I’m excited to pursue new avenues of making music, both of my own and with other artists.”

Mayer signed with Columbia Records in 2001 after performing at South by Southwest. He released all eight of his albums with Columbia Records. These include his debut Room For Squares, Heavier Things in 2003, Continuum in 2006, Battle Studios in 2009, and The Search for Everything in 2017.

“I love music more than ever, and I believe some of my best work still lies ahead,” he said on Instagram before signing off. “With gratitude and enthusiasm, John.”

He was nominated for 19 Grammys while at Columbia and won seven. These included song of the year in 2005 for “Daughters,” best male pop vocal performance in 2009 for “Say,” and best solo rock vocal performance in the same year for “Gravity.”

Mayer is now touring the United States as part of his Sob Rock tour.

John Mayer had said that his LP Sob Rock was a “shitpost” last summer. “It’s called Sob Rock because it’s a shitpost,” he said to Zane Lowe. “But more importantly, it’s what I thought was a shitpost, and this gets down to where artists sit in front of you and play you what they think is their garbage. And you go, ‘That’s the best thing I ever heard you play.’ It makes a mockery of their interpretation of the experience. Which is just enough to break out of the mold and make something unique.”

Avril Lavigne is bringing one of her most well-known songs to the big screen.

The 37-year-old singer is turning her hit track “Sk8er Boi” from 2002 into a feature film. Lavigne told the She Is the Voice podcast that she hopes to make a movie to honor the single’s 20th anniversary.

“Recently with it being almost the 20th anniversary, a lot of people have been asking me to play this song on some TV shows, so it keeps getting brought back up and people will always reference it to me,” Lavigne remarked.

She added that “Sk8er Boi” is one of her favorite songs to sing live and said, “I’m actually going to turn this song into a film… and take it to the next level. “

“Sk8er Boi” was inspired by Lavigne’s own high school experience, she told She Is the Voice, who wrote the song when she was only 17 years old.

“You know what it was like in high school, you have all the different groups and cliques, and there’s like skaters, preps, jocks,” she said. “It’s kind of like a missed opportunity at love.”

Lavigne added that “The skater boy is in love with the preppy girl but like she’s too cool for him but then five years from now she’s feeding the baby and she’s all alone and she wishes she would have followed her heart and not tried to live up to society’s expectations.”

The singer did not provide any other information on the “Sk8er Boi” movie, but it will be based on the music video she made for the song, which tells the story of a ballet dancer who secretly loves a future rock star but rejects him due to his “skater boy” look.

In 2003, “Sk8er Boi” was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, and it was ranked No. 5 on Spin Magazine’s list of the best pop-punk choruses of the twenty-first century.

In addition to the film, Avril Lavigne will release a new album next year.
