Ripe

Ripe have announced the release of their second studio album, Bright Blues, arriving via Glassnote Records (Mumford & Sons, Childish Gambino, Phoenix, Aurora) on Friday, March 10, 2023. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now. Bright Blues sees the alternative-pop band pushing their already buoyant sound towards new heights with sleek grooves, bold melodies, and an all-encompassing approach that truly showcases the full scope of their wide-ranging musical vision. Highlights include such recently released tracks as “Noise in the Forest“ and “Settling,” the latter of which was greeted by applause from Melodic Magazine, which wrote “A jubilant display of horns and guitar, ‘Settling’ attempts to push away restrictive thoughts or feelings. The track is all about living a fulfilling life, not settling or stopping for anyone who gets in your way.”

Widely known for their inspired, high-energy live show, Ripe will mark the arrival of Bright Blues with a North American headline tour, getting underway March 28, 2023, at Dallas, TX’s Deep Ellum Art Co. and then traveling through late April featuring such venues as the brand-new MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Terminal 5 in New York City and the Fillmore in San Francisco. In the meantime, Ripe will be featured on several radio shows, beginning November 30 at Fort Wayne, IN’s Clyde Theatre and then continuing into December.

Leveling Up: Is the Music Industry Ripe for Gamification?

Leveling Up: Is the Music Industry Ripe for Gamification?

Guest post by Richard Pulvino (@rpulvino) for sidewinder.fm, a music and tech think tank.  I've become addicted to thinking about gamification thanks to a class I took about the topic via Coursera, an online education platform. It's impossible not to. The course gamed my mind to think about game elements all of the time. I started to search for examples of “gamifying" music, but they often left me wanting more. For those that may be unfamiliar with the term, gamification ...
