Today, the charity compilation All Things Go: 10 Years, with all proceeds benefitting The Ally Coalition, is released and includes ATG artists past and present, including: Kesha, Maren Morris, Rachel Chinouriri, Medium Build, Bartees Strange, Maude Latour, Joy Oladokun, EMEI, googly eyes and more. Celebrating over 10 years of All Things Go, it is available digitally and on limited-edition vinyl + CD, with full tracklist and order information HERE.
In 2023, All Things Go launched a partnership with The Ally Coalition (TAC), founded in 2013 by Jack Antonoff (Bleachers) and fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, to further support LGBTQ+ youth through on-site programming and artist-driven engagement across its festival platforms.
All Things Go co-founders Stephen Villamarescu and Will Suter say: “Celebrating ten years of All Things Go is a meaningful milestone for us. The festival has always been driven by a belief in creativity with purpose, and this compilation brings together artists who embody that spirit while supporting The Ally Coalition and its important work.”
All Things Go is celebrating over a decade of festivals, originating in the Washington, D.C. area before expanding to New York in 2024, and hosted its inaugural Toronto 2025 edition last weekend. Known for its intentional focus on female and non-binary-led lineups, the festival reflects All Things Go’s ongoing commitment to cultivating diverse, inclusive spaces within the music community. This year’s ATG Festival editions at Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion and New York’s Forest Hills Stadium saw female and LGBTQ+ artists at the forefront and headlining again, with Doechii, Lucy Dacus, Clairo, Kesha, MARINA, The Mariás, Lola Young, etc performing on September 26, 27, and 28. Reneé Rapp, Kacey Musgraves, Remi Wolf, and Role Model headlined Toronto 2025 on October 4th and 5th.
ARTIST QUOTES:
Rachel Chinouriri says: “I wrote it about growing up in a tiny part of Croydon called “Forestdale” which felt like a level of peace when I was inside alone. There was a degree of peace I felt back then that I was never able to find again and I am craving that feeling again.”
Kesha about “Tennessee”: “Making this song with Orville, Tayla and Hudson was so much fun. I felt safe to explore my southern roots and excited entering a room with these artists I’ve looked up to for years and making music that felt real and honest. They’re all inspiring creatives who just want to make great music. Knowing it’s helping The Ally Coalition makes it even more special, I’m so proud to finally let the world hear what Orville and I have cooked up. Enjoy!”
Maren Morris shares: “Welcome to The End” is a song about the mental sacrifices you’ll make to achieve your dream. It’s not a straight or pretty path to get there, but your own resilience can surprise you. I’m so happy we can devote its release and message to The Ally Coalition as well as my friend and collaborator, Jack Antonoff’s studio initiative to help integrate recording studios into LGBTQ+ youth shelters.”
Juliana Madrid & ella jane, the indie-pop kindreds join forces on a hauntingly beautiful song “Sky King” about Richard “Beebo” Russell, the Horizon Air ground agent who, in 2018, stole a plane from Seattle, performed aerial stunts, and fatally crashed on Ketron Island. Remembered as “Sky King,” his story embodies the hidden struggles behind seemingly ordinary lives, rendered here with soft, tender grace. The release date, September 19, 2025 would have been his 36th birthday.
googly eyes, Joy Oladokun + August Ponthier’s poignant “Jesus and John Wayne” is a bold, soul-searching anthem about reclaiming faith from the grip of politics and exclusion, inspired by the NYT Bestselling novel by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. Written by googly eyes joined by Joy Oladokun and August Ponthier, it reimagines spirituality as a source of healing, belonging, and radical love, especially for those the church has pushed aside. The song has clearly struck a chord with listeners already, finding consistent virality on socials ahead. NPR covered the track, quoting “This could be the song of 2025. Sonically, it’s a sweeping ballad that’s not too far off from Miley Cyrus’ or Kesha’s more Nashville-leaning ballads. The song’s repurposing of Music Row-style grandiloquence in service of progressive politics reflects the moral and ethical quandaries consuming many people right now, and with its rich harmonies building to a cathartic climax, it effectively translates its political views into affecting emotional language.”
jasmine.4.t about “Find Ur Ppl”: “Find Ur Ppl is a song I wrote a few years ago, early in my transition. This was when I first moved to Manchester and met my community, including my best friend Yulia Trot aka YBT, who put me up on her sofa and supported me in presenting as a woman for the first time. Yulia is sadly currently being held in prison without trial as a political prisoner. She is one of the Filton 24, who are alleged to have broken into an Israeli weapons factory in the UK and destroyed £1 million worth of weapons. We recorded Find Ur Ppl originally for You Are The Morning (YBT Deluxe), an extended version of my debut record which is dedicated to Yulia. It means the world to me to release this new version of the song which features my friend (and recent Mercury Prize nominee!) Jacob Alon, who is a member of the queer community and very much one of the people I was hoping to find when I wrote this song. Their voice and their writing is so beautiful and I have been lucky enough to catch them live several times this year. Their voice brings so much to this song, and collaborating with them was really a dream come true.”
Medium Build and Sydney Rose add: “This song is the most beautiful snapshot of human insecurity. I remember the first time I heard it thinking “omg did she just say she wants to shoot herself?! You can’t say that!” , even though I thought about doing that all the time. I love how honest Charli is about her internal conflict. “I couldn’t even be her if I tried” literally. All the wars in our head are so bogus and thoughts are rarely valid at all. This song came at a perfect time where we all wanted to be hot and perfect and bouncing back into life. Brat summer and pink pony club and Espresso. It was all good vibes but Charli also said it’s cool if you’re an insecure piece of shit. I love her. Sydney and I related on being insecure little weirdos from neighboring towns in Georgia. I love her. I couldn’t even be Sydney Rose if I tried. But I do want to see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show.”
Bartees Strange adds: “One of my favorite songs from people in this part of the world is “DC Will Do That To You” by Smart Went Crazy. Content wise this song doesn’t have much to do with theirs, other than I feel like a big part of who I am is because of DC and what I feel like it did to and for me. This song is just me, wandering through the DMV – things seen and heard in a uniquely lovely and upside down place.”
Emei about “Talk Talk Talk’: “I’m so happy I get the chance to release “Talk Talk Talk” on the All Things Go anniversary album. I’m honored to be among such incredible artists and to be able to contribute at all to The Ally Coalition. I haven’t released a single since February and a lot has happened since then. I’ve gone on tour. I’ve lost loved ones. I’ve lost friends. I’ve gone through grief and depression and back. This year has been a huge year of growth and music making. I’m working on an entirely new project and era but before I can let everyone fully into that world, I wanted to release this diss track of mine that touches briefly upon all the BS I’ve gone through this year. Sometimes you don’t have control over what someone says about you behind your back. And man oh man is Los Angeles filled with people who love to “Talk Talk Talk”. This song is a diss track yes, but also a manifestation of a sort that’s telling me that I can always brush the BS thrown my way off my shoulders. People will always have something to say and you can’t control everyone’s narratives so just let them “Talk Talk Talk” while I keep my head down and continue working hard for me but also for my fans. I hope everyone treats the song as the emotional outlet as it was for me! And get excited and ready for this next chapter!!”
Maude Latour about Green Tea (Demo): “i wrote this song back in 2019 and my fans have been asking for me to release it since. this song captures a moment in my life i’ll never forget— a breakup, late december, and wondering about my place in the world. i vividly remember wanting to read every single book on the shelves, to call my sister, go out dancing, kiss a stranger, and find myself somehow amongst all of it. oh also my favorite drink is ice green tea.”
“When I approached covering “Funeral,” I wanted to lean into its quiet heaviness and let it live in a darker, more cinematic world. I drew from the shadowy romance of Chris Isaak and the dreamlike haze of Mazzy Star, layering reverb, slide guitar, and murky textures to make it feel like the song is suspended between grief and beauty.” – Susannah Joffe
“I’m so excited to be featuring on this record with Susannah Joffe, I’m a huge fan of hers, and Phoebe Bridgers is an artist I’ve looked up to for years, so the fact that it’s a cover of her work makes it even more special. Funeral speaks a lot to me as a fellow sad girl.” – Baby Nova

Sara Bareilles Returns With New Album and Headline Tour Across North America This Fall
GRAMMY-winning, Tony and Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter and Epic Records recording artist Sara Bareilles sets her new album, Good Grief, for August 28—presave/preorder HERE. Alongside the announcement, Bareilles is debuting the album’s first single, “Home”—listen/share HERE. Bareilles will also make her long-awaited return to the stage this fall for her deeply personal Good Grief Tour, promoted by Live Nation.
Good Grief marks Bareilles’ seventh studio album and her first since 2019’s Grammy-winning Amidst the Chaos, opening a new chapter to her 20-year career. True to its title, the 14-track collection is a reckoning with loss, yet even its darkest moments are threaded with an insistent, luminous pull toward hope.
“This whole collection of songs felt like transmissions rather than a deliberate attempt to make sense of the world,” says Bareilles. “My deepest hope is that Good Grief provides some kind of comfort or catharsis.”
“Home,” the album’s first single, was inspired by a conversation between Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper about grief and loss on Cooper’s podcast. Bareilles shares, “It feels like an invitation and a tone setter for the specificity and depth of this record. It just feels really essential right now. In order for us as humans to really know and understand each other, we have to listen to each other’s stories.”
Bareilles will also make her long-awaited return to the stage this fall for her deeply personal Good Grief Tour. Kicking off September 9 in Boston, this trek marks a triumphant new chapter for an artist at the height of her storytelling powers. The shows promise a blend of raw, vulnerable new tracks from Good Grief, alongside songs that have defined her career and connection to fans. Bringing her signature wit and authenticity to iconic theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and more, Bareilles hopes to invite fans into an intimate space of connection, truth-telling, joy and some good grief. Tickets will be available starting with artist, Verizon and CITI pre-sales on Monday, June 8 (details below for exact times), with general onsale beginning on Wednesday, June 10 at 10 A.M. local time. See below for full tour routing and visit sarabmusic.com for more information.
Good Grief spans remarkable thematic ground, all of it rooted in Bareilles’ own experience—from intimate tributes to lost friends, to defiant anthems for women’s rights, to unexpected moments of lightness found in the darkest of times. Produced by Bareilles herself, the album was mostly recorded over six days at Dreamland Recording Studios in Woodstock, NY, alongside a band of longtime collaborators: drummer Charley Drayton, guitarist Butterfly Boucher, keyboardist Misty Boyce, bassist Solomon Dorsey, multi-instrumentalist Rob Moose and co-producer, recording engineer and mixer Jonathan Low. Later sessions took place alongside co-producer Aaron Dessner at his Long Pond Studios in the Hudson Valley, NY, with assists from engineer and mixer Bella Blasko. The collection also features contributions from Brandi Carlile, Andrea Gibson, Ingrid Michaelson, Joe Tippett and Megan Falley.
The making of the album was captured in the documentary, Sara Bareilles: Good Grief, which will make its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival this week. The film offers an intimate, unfiltered portrait of Bareilles’ return to the recording studio with close friends for the first time in seven years—a cinematic document of her creative process that becomes a profoundly personal, ultimately hopeful meditation on loss, grief and the power of music to heal. A masterclass in creativity, community and vulnerability, the documentary serves as a reminder of music’s extraordinary power to connect us to ourselves and to each other.
The album, tour and documentary add to a landmark year for Bareilles. Her song “Salt Then Sour Then Sweet,” co-written with Brandi Carlile and the late poet and activist Andrea Gibson, appears in the Peabody Award-winning documentary Come See Me in the Good Light, on which Bareilles also serves as executive producer. The song was shortlisted for Best Original Song and the film for Best Documentary at the 98th Academy Awards. The track also appears on Good Grief.
Bareilles is an award-winning singer, songwriter, actor, producer, activist, and New York Times best-selling author. A two-time GRAMMY winner, she has also earned three Tony and three Primetime Emmy nominations. Bareilles has sold more than three million albums and 15 million singles in the U.S., with over 3.5 billion streams worldwide. On Broadway, Bareilles composed the music and lyrics for Waitress, later stepping into the lead role both on Broadway and the West End. Her additional theater credits include her Tony-nominated performance as the Baker’s Wife in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods and a song on the Tony Award-nominated score for SpongeBob SquarePants. Her on-screen work includes an Emmy Award-nominated performance as Mary Magdalene in NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live! and her role as Dawn Solano in the Emmy-nominated musical comedy series Girls5eva. She is also currently developing a musical theater adaptation of Meg Wolitzer’s bestselling novel The Interestings.
