Debut EP HERSTORY Out Now On Ivy Records

After introducing the world to her captivating sound earlier this year, pop’s new starlet NADINE returns with new single ‘Silver Lining’. The track comes as NADINE drops her debut solo EP HERSTORY on Ivy Records via Virgin Music Group’s global distribution. 

 

An uplifting slice of euphoric pop, ‘Silver Lining’ offers a powerful reminder of the light at the end of the tunnel. “‘Silver Lining’ is about a time in my life where I was facing homelessness, in an abusive relationship and was just in such a scary place mentally,” Nadine says of the track. “I was quite easily manipulated, some might say I was naïve, but I’ve never seen it as naïve, I see it as I always saw light, I hadn’t quite met the darkness yet! I believed in dreams coming true, in real love, in the fantasy and I still do, but maybe not quite as innocently as I did before. It’s really a little message of love to my younger self to keep that optimism, that hope, that love and to grip tightly to all of that good stuff, because although the dark is real and so is the light.” Listen to ‘Silver Lining’ HERE.

HERSTORY is NADINE laying herself bare and finding her truth through healing. A sum greater than its individual parts, the 5 track EP is an honest look into her journey. “I feel the name speaks for itself really. It’s a story about experiences I’ve faced in the past,” NADINE said of the EP. “It’s about the truth and acceptance of suffering and finding the beauty in it. I’ve used my voice and heart to express some of my story in the music, which is the most healing thing I could ever have done.

Born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, NADINE formed a passion for music at a young age through her parents’ record collections. Growing up on a steady diet of Garage, Reggae, Soul, R&B and Pop, it was when she discovered Destiny’s Child that her true obsession began. Performing came natural as well, singing for her family on their karaoke machine aged five, NADINE went onto form UK girl group M.O in 2012, touring the UK with Little Mix and releasing multiple platinum selling singles before disbanding in 2018. 

Now into 2023 and with support from the likes of Radio 1, KISS, 1883 Magazine and well over a million views across her live cuts on TikTok, NADINE is an undeniably exciting talent and one to keep a close eye on.

“I had a vision of you

And just like that

I was left to live without it…”

 

They played the song together on Saturday Night Live last month, and now they’re each releasing their own versions: Today Foo Fighters proudly announce the Friday, November 17 digital release of a double A-side single featuring a reinterpretation of ‘The Glass’ by H.E.R. alongside the original version from the band’s universally acclaimed But Here We Are.

 

H.E.R.’s newly recorded solo version of ‘The Glass’ is nothing short of a revelation—a stunning and singular vocal/guitar performance that wrings new sonic and emotional dimensions from the original.

 

Foo Fighters’ ‘The Glass’ is taken from their 11th album, But Here We Are—released June 2 via Roswell Records/RCA Records and recently nominated for three GRAMMY Awards (Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance). Like BHWA staples ‘Rescued,’ ‘Under You’ and ‘The Teacher,’ ‘The Glass’ has quickly become a new highlight of the Foo Fighters’ live juggernaut — which  shows no signs of slowing, with a November 18 Austin City Limits TV appearance and a sold out Australia/New Zealand stadium tour on the immediate horizon, as well as stadium dates and festival headlines across the US, UK and Europe going well into 2024.

 

Pre-save Foo Fighters & H.E.R.: ‘The Glass’ here — available to stream and download this Friday, November 17 — or pre-order the limited edition 7-inch vinyl single out December 29 at your favourite independent record store and here

WITH MUSIC & LYRICS BY RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

 

STARRING

SHERIDAN SMITH

 

DIRECTED AND CONCEIVED BY IVO VAN HOVE

 

AT THE GIELGUD THEATRE IN LONDON’S WEST END

FOR A STRICTLY LIMITED SEASON
FROM
6 MARCH TO 27 JULY 2024

 

TICKETS ON SALE NOW

Wessex Grove, Gavin Kalin Productions and Playful Productions are delighted to announce the World Premiere of John Cassavetes’ OPENING NIGHT, a new musical with book by Ivo van Hove and music and lyrics by Rufus Wainwright.

Directed and conceived by Ivo van Hove and starring Sheridan Smith as Myrtle, it will play a strictly limited season at the Gielgud Theatre in London’s West End from 6 March to 27 July 2024. Further casting to be announced soon.

Tickets go on sale are on-sale now at OpeningNightMusical.com

Based on John Cassavetes’ legendary film, OPENING NIGHT follows a theatre company’s preparations to stage a major new play on Broadway. But drama ignites behind the scenes when their leading lady is rocked by tragedy, and her personal turmoil forces everybody to deliver the performance of their lives.

Rufus Wainwright said “For me John Cassavetes’s movie Opening Night has long been a shining beacon representing both excellence in cinema and the might of live theatre. An intense marriage of film and stage it is about a very personal mental and creative survival that I think we can all relate to on a very deep human level. I’ve been waiting for ages to write my first musical and with this fantastic story plus the incomparable Sheridan Smith, not to mention the incredible Ivo van Hove, I don’t think I could have aimed any higher”.

Sheridan Smith said “The chance to work with the musical genius that is Rufus Wainwright and one of the world’s greatest stage directors Ivo van Hove was a once in a life time opportunity, and quite frankly if they’d asked me to read out the back of a cereal packet I’d have been there! But, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be cast in this fantastic original musical and to play the complex and challenging character of Myrtle”.

Ivo van Hove said “After the success of A Little Life I am thrilled to return to the West End together with Wessex Grove to create a new musical. It is a dream come true to collaborate with the wonderful Rufus Wainwright, whose work I have been a fan of for so many years. We connected over our shared love of the incredible John Casavettes film Opening Night and it has long been an ambition of ours to bring a musical version to the stage. Opening Night not only gives us an insight into the trials and tribulations behind the scenes of the theatre, but it is also the heartbreaking story of a woman fighting for hope and self-determination in a world that doesn’t want to listen”.

Producers Benjamin Lowy and Emily Vaughan-Barratt said today, “Deep in the early lockdowns of 2020, just after forming our company, we zoomed with Ivo and Rufus about turning Opening Night into a musical. It was a thrilling idea they had, and that conversation turned into the first commission Wessex Grove made. Rufus has written the most extraordinary original music and it is a joy for us to be reuniting with Ivo after the success of A Little Life earlier this year. Opening Night is a show about making theatre in all it’s forms; the heartbreaks, the turmoil, and the pure joy of it. We couldn’t be luckier to have one of our great theatrical stars, Sheridan Smith, leading the cast of this new musical”.

OPENING NIGHT has a Book by Ivo van Hove with Music and Lyrics by Rufus Wainwright. It is Directed and conceived by Ivo van Hove, has Set, Lighting and Video Design by Jan Versweyveld, Costume Design by An D’Huys and Sound Design by Tom Gibbons and Alex Twiselton. Orchestrations are by Rufus Wainwright, with Musical Supervision and Musical Direction by Nigel Lilley. Movement and Choreography is by Polly Bennett, Casting by Julia Horan CDG and the Associate Director is Daniel Raggett.

New Album The Light Fantastic Out February 23rd 2024
Plays Three Shows At London’s St Pancras Old Church In February

Following news of his stunning new album The Light Fantastic and five intimate dates for February 2024 earlier this month, John Bramwell has announced an additional twenty three UK and Ireland headline dates for spring/summer 2024.

 

Anyone who has heard John’s work with seminal Manchester band I Am Kloot, will be cheered by the news of this impending release. Nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2010 for their acclaimed Sky At Night album, I Am Kloot never quite received the widespread success their music deserved.

 

This new album is a masterclass in emotionally charged and melodically driven tunes for the adventurous. All 12 tracks were written by John except for ‘Nobody Left But You’ which he co-wrote with album producer Dave Fidler.

 

After both my Mum and Dad died, I started writing these songs to cheer myself up,” John admits with typical candour. “The themes are taken from my dreams at the time. Wake up and take whatever impression I had from what I could remember of my dream and write that.

 

Despite the sentiment, the songs are surprisingly uplifting. And will no doubt be exceptional live.

 

Kicking off with three dates at London’s St Pancras Old Church in February, John Bramwell will play the following shows next year. Tickets are on sale now.

2024 UK Dates Also Announced

Exciting new American band Tiny Habits release their superb new single ‘Small Enough’ – listen here. The band formed in Boston, Massachusetts at the start of 2022 after Maya Rae, Cinya Khan and Judah Mayowa met while at the Berklee College of Music. All three are accomplished singers and songwriters.

Recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, California with producer Tony Berg (boygenius, Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers), ‘Small Enough’ was written by the band and showcases their lush harmonies and intimate vocals on this bittersweet gem.

The ‘Small Enough’ music video is directed by Weston Borg (The War On Drugs) and marks the band’s first time together behind the camera. Filmed in Boston where the band first met, it’s a wink to their roots, but suggests that while change is inevitable, it is always nice to reminisce on the past.

 

Tiny Habits have been touring Europe as special guests to US singer songwriter-sensation Noah Kahan and start the UK leg of the tour tonight in Leeds. They also play two shows in London at the 02 Kentish Town Forum November 21st and 22nd before headlining their own show at XOYO on November 22ndtickets here.

 

They return to the UK next year for their own headline shows in May, including London’s KOKO,

The band first received recognition and early support from a diverse bunch of artists including the late, great David Crosby, Marcus Mumford, Phoebe Bridgers, and Noah Kahan

Tiny Habits’ first two singles ‘pennies (voice memo)’ & ‘hemenway’ were released at the end of 2022, and were met with an overwhelming response, garnering over 1 million plays across all digital streaming platforms in the first couple of months.

Their debut EP Tiny Things was released in April 2023. Earlier this year, the band opened for Gracie Abrams across North America, followed by their own sold-out US tour.

Without a doubt, Tiny Habits look set to be one of the breakout acts for 2024.

New EP Part II – Nightmares & Ice Cream

Out December 5th

Following the release of stunning EP opener ‘Rabid Dog’ last month, Palace return with their brand new single ‘Make You Proud’. The track is the second cut from their forthcoming EP Part II – Nightmares & Ice Cream, which is out December 5th on Fiction Records. 

 

A beautifully bewitching single, the guitar driven ‘Make Your Proud’ showcases lead singer Leo’s captivating ability with words. “‘Make You Proud’ is about insecurity in new love,” Leo said of the single. “Questioning oneself constantly and overthinking at every turn – but still having this incredible patience and support from a partner.” Listen to ‘Make You Proud’ HERE

 

Produced by Adam Jaffrey (Loyle Carner, Tom Misch, Yussef Dayes) at Unwound Studios, Nightmares & Ice Cream EP sees the band with a sharp new focus. Beautifully hypnotic, mesmerising and full of raw emotion, the EP is the band at their very best. “‘Nightmares & Ice Cream’ is another snapshot of life and moments of the past year,” Leo said of the EP. “It’s Part II of the journey, and one that’s felt very significant. It’s a hazy chapter of intense reflection to past events, but also a sort of purgatory where we stumble forward, stunned, trying to find some kind of grip on reality.”

 

Childhood friends Palace released their acclaimed debut EP Lost In The Night in 2014, followed by the Chase The Light EP the year after. Now with three albums under their belt, So Long Forever, Life After and 2022’s Shoals and a mass of adoring fans across the world, the band look set to close 2023 on a high. 

 

Palace are Leo Wyndham, Matt Hodges and Rupert Turner.

BRAND NEW ALBUM BITTER SWEET LOVE

OUT JANUARY 26TH, 2024 ON COLUMBIA RECORDS

Middlesbrough-born and Brit Billion-certified artist James Arthur has today announced a massive homecoming show at Riverside Stadium on Saturday 8th June 2024. This will be James’ biggest headline show to date and will see him joined by special guests McFly and Lauran Hibberd. Tickets go on sale Friday 10th November at 9am via here.

 

The news follows the announcement of his fifth, brand new studio album Bitter Sweet Love – out January 26th, 2024, on Columbia Records and a major world tour, in which multiple dates including UK arenas, sold out instantly.


James is one of the world’s biggest streaming artists, with over 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. James has scored 4 top 10 albums, with 2016’s Back From The Edge hitting the Number 1 spot and over his career has collaborated with the likes of Anne-Marie, Sigala, Rudimental, Marshmello & many more.

‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ became his breakthrough hit in the US. It was officially the UK’s most streamed song in 2016 and has gone on to be enjoyed via 4 billion streams while the song’s official video has achieved 1.5 billion views on YouTube. Earlier this year, the track became his first RIAA Diamond Single with 10 million certified units – making James one of just 100 recipients of an RIAA Diamond Single certification in the programme’s history.

Other huge hit singles include: ‘Impossible’, ‘Can I Be Him’, ‘Sun Comes Up’, ‘Naked’, ‘Empty Space’, ‘Rewrite The Stars’, ‘Falling Like the Stars’, ‘Train Wreck’ and ‘Lasting Lover’, which are all certified platinum records. The song ‘Cars Outside’ off the new album is currently becoming another global hit for James.

 

Now James returns to Middlesbrough to celebrate his roots with a very special homecoming show. James said:

 

“It’s truly unbelievable. I don’t think that I can put it into words. As someone who came to the Riverside as a young lad with a season ticket and walked through the turnstiles, it’s just crazy to think that people are going to be walking through the turnstiles to watch me perform. It’s very much like the end of a movie, a full circle moment.” 

 

“It has been bit of a pipe dream of mine to play my team’s ground; I’m really honoured.” 

 

Tickets go on sale Friday 10th November at 9am via here. VIP packages are available via www.sjm-vip.com

New Single ‘Freaking Out’ – Out Now

April/May UK Headline Tour Announced
Includes London’s Eventim Apollo – May 7th, 2024

After becoming 2019’s biggest UK-signed selling artist, with a number 1 debut album, an international hit single in ‘Leave A Light On’, three million worldwide album sales and over four billion global streams in tow, Tom Walker makes his hard-fought return with brand new studio record, I Am, out May 31st, 2024.

Where previously, Tom became known for powerful accounts of other people’s stories, including a friend’s battle with drugs (‘Leave A Light On’), and articulating his own relatable feelings for his now wife (‘Just You & I’); he now finds himself writing about his own personal struggles and anxieties, creative challenges, sadness and moments of despair. It is a sometimes visceral account of who Tom Walker is in 2023, hence the title: I Am.

I Am is a culmination of me trying to figure out who I am for the last four years.” explains Tom. “This record is a snapshot of what’s been going on in my life, and what’s been happening around me – what’s made me happy or sad, ecstatic or miserable.”

 

The first taste of new music came last month with the rallying cry comeback single ‘Burn’, which took a swipe at his record label over urgent, hammering beats. Today sees second offering ‘Freaking Out’ (listen here) – a huge song nailed with a dream team of producers Fraser T. Smith (Adele, Stormzy) and Stuart Price (Madonna, The Killers). It’s a personal cry for help which tackles social anxiety and addresses the re-learning of how to be himself and the creative artist forcibly stalled by Covid.

After writing, and binning, a plethora of new tracks, an exhausted Tom subsequently headed out to Los Angeles to write with the McDonough brothers, Toby Gadd, Ryan Daly & Castle, who’s credits between them include Beyonce, Joji, Khalid, Mimi Webb and John Legend. The trip reignited the excitement and love of trying brand new things.

The results speak for themselves. As well as ‘Freaking Out’ and ‘Burn’, there’s ‘Head Underwater’, a soulful rhythmic pop anthem with a soaring vocal that, again, sounds like a whole new Walker. For ‘Holy Ghost’, think: Hozier produced by Labrinth – hymnal, electronic soul, and finally, a mention for ‘Lifeline’. No one outside Tom’s inner-circle will be hearing this towering ballad until next year – the emotions behind it are too raw. It’s a searingly emotional tribute to a friend who died by suicide in March.

Make sure to catch Tom on your TV screens on November 11th, where he will appear on the latest series of Later…with Jools Holland, performing ‘Burn’ and ‘Freaking Out’.

Looking ahead, as Tom succinctly puts it; I will die for these songs. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve felt like that. You’ve got to ignore what everyone else wants from you, and you’ve got to back yourself.”

And with that, welcome to the exciting, limitless next phase of Tom Walker. A man who knows where he’s headed: to arena-scale songs with molecular-level heart.

With over half a million (500,000) tickets sold this year alone, Hozier will bring his massive international ‘Unreal Unearth Tour’ back to the UK and Europe in December, which will see him conquer sold out arenas, including London’s OVO Arena Wembley and 3 nights at Dublin’s 3Arena, which have all sold out already.

Hozier finds himself as one of the greatest songwriters in his field with a record in Unreal Unearth that has spawned world class tracks in “Eat Your Young,” “All Things End,” “Francesca” & “De Selby (Part 2)”. In a week which saw incredible international chart success, he outsold the UK top 5 combined to score the top spot in Ireland.
