"Supernova" single

RAY ON: “Supernova,” the lead track from Ray LaMontagne’s upcoming RCA album of the same name, hitting 5/6, is off to a strong start at Triple A with 25 stations, putting it at #1 Most Added according to Mediabase stats. The track also debuted at the top of the Spotify Viral 50—one slot above Chainsmokers’ smoldering “Selfie.” The album, produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, is a radical departure for the introspective singer/songwriter, delving into ’60s-flavored psychedelia and Nuggets-era garage rock, with certain sonic parallels to Beck’s Morning Phase. First impression: This is the kind of record LaMontagne needed to make at this point, 10 years into his recording career. (3/4a)
