"Love Me Not" singer Ravyn Lenae has seen skyrocketing success this year, and during a recent Audacy Check In she tells us she is still finding the balance to protect her mental health through the success.

"I think that's probably the biggest challenge for me, especially with the shift of rhythm, you know, from my normal day to day," she admits. "Making the music, that's easy, doing the shows, that's easy, but really finding that balance amongst mental health, personal time, physical health, family, friends, that's the thing I'm trying to juggle. I think it's making sure I carve out moments for myself, even if it's just my shower at the end of the night to really just think and thank God for the day, for the things I'm able to accomplish, and think about the next day."

Rob Thomas returned earlier this month with a pair of new songs, and the promise of his 6th solo studio album arriving September 5. The singer sat down for an Audacy Check In with Karen Carson at the Hard Rock Hotel New York to unpack the new album, and the mental health message of his lead single, "Hard To Be Happy."

Thomas announced his next chapter with the sunny and swaggering new track, "Hard To Be Happy," which shows sometimes it's okay to be anything but. "I think the idea of of mental health, which it's such a big blanket to say that, because it means something different to everyone else and everybody's struggles and everybody's ways of dealing with it is different," explains Thomas.

"Some things that people are going through that are insurmountable and I think to just kind of chalk it down to 'you're going to be okay,' that falls flat. I think the idea that you can try and find moments of being okay in the storm, you can find little life rafts as you go along, and just being able to talk about it in a way that maybe you couldn't 15, 20 years ago, that in itself is a solace. The idea to be able to say 'it's okay to not be okay.' So a song like 'Hard To Be Happy' just acknowledges the fact that it's fine, there's nothing abnormal about the fact that you can't muster up the energy for a smile today."

Lewis Capaldi has learned a lot since he walked off the Glastonbury stage in 2023. He's since returned with the emotional new song, "Survive," and a new outlook on his mental health.

After two years away, Capaldi is back and talking about the work he's done since stepping away. "I'm probably more resilient than I thought I was," Lewis admits, sharing what he learned during that time. "I'm someone who, I don't really see things through quite a lot. I'm quite bad at making promises to myself that I don't keep. But this time around, with this, with doing therapy and focusing on getting better, I was really saying to myself, 'I'm going to do this thing and I'm going to get to the end of it and I'm gonna make sure that everything that I promised myself I'm gonna follow through on.'"

"I've seen it through for the last two years and I've stuck with it, and I think that for me has been the biggest thing, that sort of consistency with, I don't really like this phrase, but like showing up for myself."
