Los Angeles quartet the Linda Lindas, who first captured national attention as teenagers (or pre-teenagers) in 2018, have signed with Reprise-Warner Records and celebrated by releasing the new single and video “Burning Out,” likely a precursor to a third album from the group.
“‘Burning Out’ felt so simultaneously new and nostalgic for us, and I think that was super fitting for me especially, because I had just graduated high school and I was feeling very surrounded by change,” said the group’s Lucia de la Garza. “We went on a week-long writing retreat in Palm Springs less than a month after graduation, and that’s where we wrote this song about feeling like the world is passing you by. Knowing that my friends would all be going to college in the fall, it made sense my head was in a very nostalgic place.”
The group will be touring with Bleachers on the west coast this fall, as well as at Tom Morello’s Power To The People Festival.
+ Motown Records has announced the launch of the New Legends Internship Program, a new initiative designed to create meaningful pathways for students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to access careers within the music industry. The inaugural cohort will participate in a 10-week immersive internship experience from June 8 through August 14, gaining hands-on exposure across key areas of the business, including Marketing, Creative, Digital and A&R.
