Pomme Releases New Track “Weird”
Last week, French artist Pomme released “weird” (in English) just before the start of her American tour.
This English track, written during the quarantine, is a musical precursor to her live performances in Mexico, Columbia, and North America, just one month away.
Continuing the emotional journey she started with her latest album Saisons, Pomme invites her fans to another intimate moment with her voice and guitar.
hi english speaking loves,
in 2020 I released a quarantine EP called « quarantine phone sessions » and then took it off from all platforms cause I thought covid would only last a few weeks (lol). it was a way for me to stay creative and write really short, simple, descriptive songs that helped me go through this weird time. when I was a teen, I always wrote in english cause it helped me express the things that I was afraid to tell in french. I tried to find that feeling of playfulness and innocence that we all have when we are kids. one of the songs from the EP called “weird” is out again in the world, as I’m preparing for my first ever headline tour in the US :’) I wanted to give it to you all as a tiny gift, I’m so grateful and excited for this tour.
love you and can’t wait to meet you all, Pomme
Last month, Pomme unveiled the entirety of her fourth album Saisons, conceived as a modern opera, is available in two parts: “autumn/winter” released last December and “spring-summer” is revealed to complete the cycle of Saisons.
She revealed the Saisons, le film: hiver and Saisons, le film: printemps, Saisons, le film: automne short films and the full Saisons short film will be released in July. The song “_dec carte de noël” was co-written with Aaron Dessner (The National, Taylor Swift, Justin Vernon etc). June stands for the first of three summer tracks that Pomme has chosen to call “perseides”, the famous shower of shooting stars that floods the summer sky.
Consisting of 12 titles, three per season, each echoing a month of the year, the album is an ambitious and orchestral project that aims to surprise, and once again demonstrates the musician’s unique artistic vision. Imagined as a journey beginning with spring, Saisons is an album that can be listened to in one go, and invites you to lie down on a thick carpet and imagine our dream cartoon. This musical continuity is put into images with a 36-minute film, co-directed by Pomme, Hugo Pillard and Nina Richard, soon to be revealed in its entirety.
This new album follows on from A peu près, which made her a household name, Les Failles, certified platinum in France, and consolation gold certified in France, a particularly personal project written during the pandemic between France and Canada. This album Saisons, to be listened to in one go, invites us to lie down on a thick carpet and imagine our dream cartoon. This change of trajectory in Pomme‘s discography resonates with her desire to create a collective gesture within her new pieces, to relinquish total control of the project, collaborating with other artists on composition and production.
The singer-composer thus invites Aaron Dessner (The National) for the winter movement and continues her collaboration with Flavien Berger for the autumn part. On the second half of the opus, “spring-summer”, Pomme is accompanied by an orchestration conducted by MALVINA.
Pomme has won the hearts of an eclectic public, notably through exceptional concert productions, for which she was nominated at the Victoires de la Musique 2024 (the French GRAMMYs) in the Concert of the Year category.

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
