Bethany Cosentino has released her third single, “For A Moment,” from her upcoming debut solo album, Natural Disaster, set for release July 28 via Concord Records.
The song, about the fragility of life, has the singer leaning into late ’90s folk pop with mandolin tones and pedal steel work. It features backing vocals by the song’s co-writers Madi Diaz, Kate York, and Sarah Buxton.
“The idea for ‘For A Moment’ came to me one morning on a writing trip to Nashville,” said Cosentino in a statement. “After waking up to...

Tragedy struck earlier this month when — for unknown reasons that will hopefully be explained by a hard-hitting true crime podcast at some point in the future — “Glasgow” from “Wild Rose” was denied a nomination for Best Original Song at the Oscars this year. In a season full of terrible snubs that made all too much sense, this one was truly baffling. Co-written by Caitlyn Smith, Kate York, and Academy Award-winning actress Mary Steenburgen, and sung to soul-lifting perfection by Jessie Buckley, this gorgeous country anthem must not have fit into the songwriting branch’s increasingly narrow idea of what an Oscar-worthy song should sound like.
And yet, in a decision that historians of the future will describe as “perverse,” the Academy has decided not to scrap the entire category out of shame. Indeed, there will still be a Best Original Song trophy handed out at the Oscars this year, and...

On Monday, Mary Steenburgen could become an Oscar-nominated songwriter. The Oscar winner penned “Glasgow (No Place Like Home)” from “Wild Rose” and is “honored” to be in contention for a Best Original Song bid.
“I was honored to have my song ‘Glasgow’ be on the shortlist for the Oscars and to win a Hollywood Critics Association Award [Thursday] night,” Steenburgen said Saturday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour during a panel for her new NBC show “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.”
Steenburgen, who won Best Supporting Actress for 1980’s “Melvin and Howard,” co-wrote the emotional ballad, sung by BAFTA-nominated star Jessie Buckley in the movie’s climax, with Caitlin Smith and Kate York. One of 15 tunes that made the Best Original Song Oscar shortlist last month, “Glasgow” is also up for the same prize at Sunday’s Critics’ Choice Awards.

The music branch of the Academy often leans into pop stars in this category — perhaps wanting to see them perform the song on the Oscar stage — as well as hit songs from Disney animated musicals. And the shortlist of Best Original Song contenders unveiled today is very much part of that tradition.
Leading the shortlist of 15 songs are these leading contenders, which scored both Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award nominations: Elton John’s original song “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from Dexter Fletcher’s bio-musical “Rocketman,” Beyoncé’s single “Spirit” from the “live-action” “The Lion King,” and the follow-up to Idina Menzel’s Oscar-winning “Let It Go” juggernaut, her “Frozen 2″ ballad “Into the Unknown,” also written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. That win is in the bag.

Mary Steenburgen is known for her decades of work as an actor, picking up an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her turn in “Melvin and Howard.” But she woke up from a minor surgery on her arm in 2007 feeling “very strange.” “My old brain wasn’t really the same anymore,” she explains, adding, “It was replaced by a musical brain.” That fateful event opened up a new career path for Steenburgen as a songwriter, and her country tune “Glasgow” provides a glorious closing moment to the film “Wild Rose.” And this weekend, she received a Critics’ Choice nomination for Best Original Song. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Steenburgen’s “new musical brain” had her hearing music in her head constantly, despite not having a musical background. Every experience generated music. Instead of allowing this startling change drive her crazy, the Oscar winner decided to find a way to incorporate it into her life.

Mary Steenburgen has a long and storied enough career that it may be difficult to think of her as an underdog. But as a songwriter, she counts. The actress has been moonlighting as a tunesmith for the last 12 years, and now may be coming into the daylight with a number that’s getting a fair amount of attention in the best original film song conversation. “Glasgow (No Place Like Home),” which she co-wrote with Caitlyn Smith and Kate York, is performed as the on-screen climax of the well-reviewed indie film “Wild Rose,” and it’s suddenly gathering some heat, six months after the movie’s premiere.
“It’s up against some big juggernaut movies,” Steenburgen said after screening the film for friends Friday night at Raleigh Studios. “I suppose it’s a long shot, and I’ve never been through this with a song before, so I don’t really know what to think.

A version of this story about Mary Steenburgen, Kate York, Caitlyn Smith and “Wild Rose” first appeared in The Race Begins issue of TheWrap’s Oscar magazine.
Director Tom Harper’s “Wild Rose” is an indie gem, an affecting character study of a fiercely talented but self-destructive young Scottish woman who is driven to become a country singer. Although most of the music in the film consists of covers of country classics, word went out that the film was looking for an important song for its final scene — and when the breakdown sent to prospective songwriters seemed a little skimpy, actress and songwriter Mary Steenburgen went into action.
“I used my actor superpowers to get a full script,” said Steenburgen, who started writing songs about a decade ago when she woke up from a minor operation with music running through her head. “I can’t play guitar, but I can get a hold of scripts.

Between Rayna's road spats with Juliette, Teddy walking out on her, Avery gloriously failing at life and Liam's general smarminess, Nashville was really on a roll until that last uneventful dud of an episode aired. Luckily, that snooze-fest was merely a hiccup. Nothing like some tabloid controversy, celebrity cameos, a relapse into alcohol addiction and the show's first death to get the drama back into gear on what was Nashville's darkest, heaviest tearjerker to date. And all in an episode that centered on a party? Even better.

So far, Nashville has shied away from tapping into Music City's vast stable of stars for celebrity cameos, focusing instead on the fictional fame of Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) and Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere). That all changes in this week's episode, which features guest appearances from real Nashville notables Vince Gill, Pam Tillis, Kip Moore, Kate York and the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. They play themselves as guests at a star-studded surprise party that Juliette throws for Deacon (Charles Esten) at the Bluebird.

"Nashville's" Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) has been having a tough few months. She's been forced to tour with upstart pop starlet Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) after the young diva stole Rayna's former flame and loyal guitarist Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) as her own bandleader and she's watched her marriage with Teddy (Eric Close) disintegrate after her husband asked for a divorce. Clearly, being on top clearly ain't all it's cracked up to be.
In HuffPost TV's exclusive preview clip from this Wednesday's episode (Feb. 27 at 10 p.m. Est on ABC), Rayna is given another unwelcome reminder about the price of fame after she tries to watch her daughters' ballet class in peace. Sadly, when you're in the public eye, it seems like all your dirty laundry is fair game for both nosy moms and paparazzi.

Nashville is back Feb. 27 with a new episode, and we’re not the only ones celebrating. Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) decides to throw Deacon (Charles Esten) a surprise birthday party, which, judging from the promo, does not go well. But on the upside, real stars show up to fete everyone’s favorite guitarist (sorry, Gunnar and Liam), including The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, Vince Gill, Pam Tillis, Kate York, and Kip Moore. Check out more exclusive photos below.
