Sleater-Kinney have put out their first new single in over a year, “Worry With You.” The song is the band’s first release from their just-announced tenth studio album, Path of Wellness, out June 11th via Mom+Pop.
“Worry With You” comes with a music video, directed by Alberta Poon, that’ll be familiar to anyone who’s been stuck in quarantine with their significant other over the past year. A young couple (played by Fabi Reyna and Megan Watson) struggle to find happiness in their tiny house without getting on each other’s nerves. Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein both make cameo appearances in the video — Tucker as a woman in a pharmaceutical ad, and Brownstein as a television fitness instructor.
Brownstein and Tucker recorded Path of Wellness in Portland, Oregon, throughout the pandemic of 2020. The album follows 2019’s The Center Won’t Hold and marks their first LP as a duo, after longtime drummer Janet Weiss announced her departure from the band shortly before The Center Won’t Hold was released.
Sleater-Kinney will also be co-headlining the It’s Time Tour in the U.S. with Wilco this summer after the tour was postponed from last summer due to Covid-19. Nnamdï has joined the tour as an opening act on most dates.

NEW RELEASES

JADE has shared an impassioned new single titled ‘FUFN (Fuck You For Now)’. Check it out below.
The track marks the latest solo single from the former Little Mix star, and comes on the heels of other huge singles including the hit track ‘Angel Of My Dreams’.
In the single the singer tackles the feeling of frustration just after an argument with a romantic partner, and the maturity to realise that you will eventually overcome it together.
“You always think you know me best, you don’t/ I need you to listen, but you won’t/ Talkin’ to you when you cut me off/ Usually I would brush this off/ Something’s stirrin’ down inside my bones,” she sings in the opening verse, before bursting into the melodic chorus.
“I’m gettin’ out the car, I slam the door/ We’ve done this shit before, I ain’t doin’ it tonight/ Baby, back off out my face right now/ Don’t you tell me to calm down.”
Check it out below, alongside a video that stars Nick Grimshaw and sees JADE navigate fame with a romantic interest by her side.
Speaking to Wonderland about the track, JADE described the single as her “most straight down-the-line pop song” and said why it felt like the right time for her to share it.
“I felt like now was a good time to release the big pop banger. Something with a big chorus that’s a lot more melodic than some of the other songs, but still with that Jade-ness to it,” she told the outlet.
“The whole idea of ‘FUFN (Fuck U For Now)’ is about loving someone, having a huge argument over something so small and just wanting them to fuck off and leave you alone. It’s going to be okay later. The ‘For Now’ is in brackets, you know?”
She also told Capital that the song wasn’t inspired by real-life events, but saw her harness genuine emotions she has felt in the past. “I had this concept written down and it stemmed from having a dream about my boyfriend cheating on me and waking up the next day fuming. So that’s how it kind of began,” she revealed (via Forbes).
The song is set to appear on JADE’s upcoming debut solo album. Few details about the record are known at time of writing, although it is expected to arrive this year.
Earlier this month, JADE picked up the award for Best Pop Act at the BRIT Awards – her first award as a solo act – and thanked her “Little Mix sisters” during her speech. After her win, she told NME that “the night couldn’t have gone any better”, and hinted that more music is coming “very soon”.
