Dallas String Quartet Share Classical Crossover Album “Love Always”

Today, Dallas String Quartet (DSQ) has released its new album, “Love Always.” Through their signature electrifying instrumentation, lush string arrangements, and elegant compositional nods to their classical roots, DSQ deliver a luxurious collection of their string renditions of beloved pop classics such as “10,000 Hours” by Dan + Shay, Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams,” and “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran. DSQ curates a floral soundtrack perfect for the most blissful moments by weaving classical elements from composers like Bach and Rochmonanof into their pop arrangements.

“We started by playing music for, and being a part of, people’s happiest moments, so we wanted to go back to the basics and to the simplicity of that theme and feeling. I envision this album playing in the background during the most peaceful Sunday morning, warm coffee in your cup, and a lot of love in your heart.” – Ion Zanca, Dallas String Quartet.

DSQ is referred to as “Bach meets Bon Jovi,” a fusion of contemporary classical and pop music, compared to artists like Lindsey Stirling, Vitamin String Quartet, and 2Cellos. Using both traditional and electric strings, they are known for their eclectic renditions of everything from Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child of Mine” to Shawn Mendes to Camila Cabello’s “Señorita” to their recent collaboration, “You Are The Reason,” with The Piano Guys. DSQ has performed for Presidents Obama and Bush, the College Football Playoffs, NBA, and NFL organizations and was featured on the most recent season of American Idol.

Brands like Cartier, Delta Air Lines, LinkedIn, and more seek out this one-of-a-kind quartet.

Queen Bey – Beyoncé Shatters Records With Her Unprecedented 2025 Grammy Nominations

Beyoncé

Beyoncé is once again making headlines. After dominating the music scene, blazing through a record-breaking “Renaissance” tour, and launching a successful whiskey brand, SirDavis, weren’t enough, she’s now rewriting history at the Grammy Awards. In March, she took the world by storm with her eighth studio album release, COWBOY CARTER, which continues to echo across the charts. This year, the superstar has earned a stunning 11 Grammy nominations, setting a new record as the female artist who has ever received the most nominations in a single year. Once again, Beyoncé has firmly redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the music industry, proving there are no limits to what she can achieve.

The 11 nods mark a new personal best for Beyoncé, who previously shared the long-standing record with Lauryn Hill at 10 nominations apiece. Hill achieved the feat in 1999, and Beyoncé first met that mark in 2010. The sheer range speaks volumes about her artistic versatility, relentless ambition, and unmatched status in the music industry. But with 2025 nominations, Beyoncé genuinely shines brightly in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Queen Bey’s fierce presence reinforces her iconic status in music in a highly competitive Grammy race that includes powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.

This news arrives at an exciting time amidst swirling controversy. Despite COWBOY CARTER’s undeniable genre-bending success and Beyoncé’s well-received pivot into country influences, she was left out this year at the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards. With 17 nominations at the PCCAs, she walked away empty-handed, raising eyebrows across the industry. While Beyoncé soars on the Grammy stage, she’s faced notable snubs in the country music realm. A legend of the genre, Dolly Parton even commented on the snub in an interview with Variety, reflecting, “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably are in the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that.”

But for Beyoncé, this year’s Grammy nods are more than a consolation prize; they validate her impact. As she heads into Grammy season with 11 nominations, it’s clear that while the country music world might still be playing catch-up, the Grammys recognize Beyoncé’s immense talent. For enthusiasts and music lovers globally, one thing is sure: Beyoncé isn’t just making history. She’s actively reshaping it. Her work demonstrates that there are no limits within her sphere and that records are not intended to endure; instead, they are designed to be rewritten. Consequently, according to her vision and standards, she possesses the ability and intent to continue influencing the music industry.
