2019 has been quite a year for Dido. The release of her acclaimed album ‘Still On Mind’ in March quickly led to her becoming the best selling UK solo female artist of the year and she also embarked on her first tour for 15 years in May. Now she is releasing a stunning brand new single, ‘Just Because’, taken from the special deluxe edition of ‘Still On My Mind’ out November 15^th on BMG. The album also features haunting acoustic versions of mega hits ‘Thank You’ and ‘White Flag’ as well as brand new track ‘This Is Love’.

On ‘Just Because’ Dido commented, “An uplifting track with a really simple thought: be yourself, don’t bow to peer pressure or be afraid to go out on a limb, mess up or do things your own way. Be proud of who you are. I spent a lot of my life trying to fit in and it never worked anyway. This is about that.”

Currently rehearsing for the second leg of her ‘Still On My Mind’ tour, Dido returns to the UK for a string of dates later this year following shows in South America, Mexico and Europe. Dido plays the following UK dates:

Following a storming set at Radio 2 in Hyde Park and the announcement of a huge 2020 Autumn tour, Simply Red today release new soulful-ballad ‘Sweet Child’. The single is taken from their 12^th studio album, ‘Blue Eyed Soul’, which will be released on November 8^th on BMG.

Effortlessly soulful, the dreamy string section compliments the catchy guitar riff on ‘Sweet Child’. This coupled with Mick’s instantly recognisable vocal line makes for a classic Simply Red song. On the track Mick commented, “We (alleged) grown ups should be asking ourselves if we will be leaving this world in better shape for our children than it is for us. So, are we? Or are we failing them?”

Listen to ‘Sweet Child’ HERE

Recorded in London at British Grove Studios, all ten tracks of ‘Blue Eyed Soul’ were written by Mick Hucknall and produced by long time collaborator Andy Wright.

He’s got blue eyes and a soulful voice, and it’s Hucknall’s remarkable voice that takes centre stage on this record. “I wanted to push my voice a little harder, challenge it a little bit, give myself something to really sing to.”

The results are simply sensational. Recorded as live, with few overdubs,

‘Blue Eyed Soul’ drew on inspiration from classic funk and soul: Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland and Tower of Power.

Simply Red have over a billion hits on YouTube, and have sold over 60 million albums since forming over thirty years ago. Holding back the years indeed.

“At this stage of my career, I could do one of those dark reflective albums looking back on my life and all that kind of stuff that people tend to do at a certain age,” Mick Hucknall admits. “But I thought sod that! I wanted to make something punchy. I want to have a good time.”

And that’s exactly what you get throughout ‘Blue Eyed Soul’, satisfaction guaranteed.

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and music legend Jeff Lynne will follow up a remarkable run of sold out European and American tours with a new album, From Out of Nowhere, on November 1st. The album is now available for pre-order, and the title track “From Out of Nowhere” is available to stream and download with album pre-order here.

Lynne, whose music has touched fans deeply across three generations now, has found himself in recent years at the peak of his powers as a songwriter, musician and producer.  The forthcoming album features a buoyant title song, which premiered today on BBC Radio 2.  The song opens the album which features ten songs, from the wistful “Help Yourself” to the celebratory “Down Came the Rain” to the churning rocker “One More Time” (featuring a solo from pianist Richard Tandy) to the sweet closer, “Songbird.”

As does its predecessor, 2015’s Alone in the Universe (the first new release from Lynne in 14 years), From Out of Nowhere shows Lynne finding new facets to his signature sound, at once drawing on his globally loved legacy and forging new paths in both sounds and emotions. Once again, he plays nearly every note of the music on guitars, bass, piano, drums, keyboards and vibes, as well as singing all of the lead and layered harmony vocals. Steve Jay, who also engineered the album, adds some percussion.

The very existence of the album is an unexpected joy, as much for its creator as for his fans. “‘From Out of Nowhere” — that’s exactly where it came from,” Lynne says. “That’s the first one I wrote for this album and it’s kind of like that.”  It’s a song about hope and salvation.  Lynne often found himself turning to a sense of optimism, which is a theme recurring throughout the album, saying “Everybody’s got to have a bit of hope.”

This album builds on the energy and acclaim generated by the release of Alone in the Universe and the triumphant return to touring for the first time since 1985, starting with a 2014 performance before more than 50,000 people in London’s Hyde Park. Since then he and the remarkable group he’s assembled have toured in Europe and North America, with shows including sold out dates at such esteemed locales as two nights at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, eight nights at the O2 Arena in London, a headlining slot at the 2016 Glastonbury Festival, a three-night fireworks spectacular at the Hollywood Bowl and a June 2017 spectacle for nearly 60,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. That latter was captured in the Wembley or Bust concert film. That was followed by a major U.S. arena tour in 2018 and a return for twenty North American shows this past summer.

Covering the Anaheim kick-off to the 2019 trek, Forbes’ Steve Baltin called the return to the stage “a very unexpected surprise for fans, one that should be savored and celebrated not just by ELO fans, but any music fan who wants the chance to experience what has, in a turn no one could have seen coming, become consistently one of the best live acts in the world.”

Additionally, 2017 also saw Lynne inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with the touring band performing at the ceremony.

With more than 50 million albums sold, ELO ranks among the most popular acts of its era. Those totals cover four consecutive Top 10 albums and seven reaching the Top 20, as well as a remarkable string of hit singles — 20 reaching the U.S. Top 40 and a full seven of them lodging in the Top 10. Lynne’s reach, of course, has extended far beyond ELO, touching millions as a producer and collaborator, most notably as a member of the Traveling Wilburys alongside George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. He also produced Harrison’s colorful Cloud Nine album and with Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr crafted full songs from John Lennon’s home tapes of “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love.”

From Out Of Nowhere Tracklist
1.     From Out Of Nowhere
2.     Help Yourself
3.     All My Love
4.     Down Came The Rain
5.     Losing You
6.     One More Time
7.     Sci-Fi Woman
8.     Goin’ Out On Me
9.     Time Of Our Life
10.  Songbird

The highly anticipated follow-up to City and Colour’s #1 selling album If I Should Go Before You (2015), A Pill for Loneliness is produced by three-time Grammy-winning Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Norah Jones) and mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay, Dolly Parton, The Chainsmokers), the first female mastering engineer to win a Grammy for best engineered album (2019).

Over the course of five studio albums, Green has compiled a canon ripe with songs amassing a legion of fans worldwide. With this 6^th full-length album, Green siphons serenity from stress through a kaleidoscope of lush guitars, ethereal orchestration, and heavenly delivery over eleven tracks that illuminate an entrancing emotional expanse, balancing two extremes with eloquence and energy.

“I wrote a lot of dark songs and wrapped them in the most beautiful sounds we could find,” Green explains. “There are personal connotations, but they’re also relatable. I’m thankful for the opportunity to create.”

Sir Rod Stewart (knighted in 2016) celebrates 50 years as a solo artist this year. The legendary singer-songwriter is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 250 million records sold worldwide during a stellar career that includes nine #1 albums and 26 Top 10 singles in the U.K. Plus, 17 Top 10 albums and 16 Top 10 singles in the US. Rhino will honor the legendary singer-songwriter with a new album that lets fans hear Stewart’s biggest hits in a newly imagined way.

YOU’RE IN MY HEART: ROD STEWART WITH THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA pairs classic vocal tracks from his most popular songs with new arrangements performed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The result is a timeless record that retains the power, soul and passion that have fueled Stewart’s legacy from the start. The album also features a new version of the hit song “It Takes Two” featuring Robbie Williams and a brand-new song “Stop Loving Her Today” by Rod Stewart. The album will be released November 22 as a 1CD and as a 2CD that features the full orchestral arrangements. The music will also be available to download digitally and via streaming services.

Produced by Trevor Horn, YOU’RE IN MY HEART includes new orchestral versions of Stewart’s #1 U.K. hits: “Sailing,” “I Don’t Want To Talk About It” and “The First Cut Is The Deepest.” The collection also features versions of “Maggie May” and “Reason To Believe” – songs that topped the charts in both the U.K. and the U.S. in 1971.

YOU’RE IN MY HEART is packed with Stewart’s best-known songs, including versions of the Top 10 U.K. hits: “Tonight’s The Night (Gonna Be Alright) (a #1 smash in the U.S.), “The Killing of Georgie (Part 1 and II),” “You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim),” “I Was Only Joking,” “What Am I Gonna Do (I’m So In Love With You),” “Every Beat Of My Heart,” “Downtown Train,” “Rhythm Of My Heart” and a cover of Tom Waits’ “Tom Traubert’s Blues (Waltzing Matilda).”

Alongside Stewart’s major hits are fan favorites like: “Young Turks,” “Forever Young,” “If We Fall In Love Tonight,” a version of “Handbags And Gladrags” from his multi-platinum acoustic album, Unplugged…and Seated and “Stay With Me,” a Top 40 hit he recorded with the Faces in 1971.

After a triumphant stadium tour this summer, the release of YOU’RE IN MY HEART coincides with the continuation of Stewart’s biggest UK tour ever with live performances in November and December.  In addition, he returns to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and a show this September at The Hollywood Bowl with a landmark reunion set with his former bandmate Jeff Beck.

Two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum songstress Kelsea Ballerini releases her new single and music video entitled “homecoming queen?” today on Black River Entertainment. Kelsea will also play a huge show at BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park on 15^th September.

Watch ‘homecoming queen?’ HERE

Backed by delicate acoustic guitar and a steady backbeat, intimate verses peel away a seemingly perfect prom queen veneer before the “elegant songwriter” (The New York Times) delivers a powerful and poetic reminder, “Not everything pretty sparkles and shines—and even the homecoming queen cries” (co-written by Ballerini, Nicolle Galyon, and Jimmy Robbins).

In the emotionally charged music video, Kelsea sits on a chair in an empty dressing room. From there, motion control allows for a seamless 360-degree panorama as Kelsea’s world transitions from the star people see on stage to the vulnerable real person who is behind closed-doors. Award-winning director Shane Drake (“Miss Me More”) was again tapped by Ballerini to bring this vision to life.

“homecoming queen?” is available everywhere HERE.

Watch it HERE.

As an undeniable vocalist, songwriter, and performer, Kelsea Ballerini elevates country for a new era with emotional songcraft, honesty, and classic grace. Since her gold-certified 2015 full-length debut The First Time, she has consistently made history. By 2019, she became the only female country artist to achieve three consecutive #1 songs from a debut album, notched a total of five number ones with the platinum “Miss Me More,” and the Grand Ole Opry welcomed her as their youngest current member. Not to mention, she garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, won two ACM Awards, and took home the iHeartRadio Music Awards honor for “Best New Artist.” 2017’s Unapologetically marked her second Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200. With multiple platinum singles, her total streams exceed two billion to date. In addition to touring alongside everyone from Kelly Clarkson to Keith Urban, she ascended to an arena headliner on The Miss Me More Tour. Everything paved the way for her third full-length, which promises to be her most personal yet.

Get ready for more music from Kelsea Ballerini very soon!

As they gear up to embark on their biggest headline tour yet, The Snuts unleash the video for their dynamic new anthem ‘Maybe California’ – out now on Parlophone Records.

Working with Rich Costey (Muse, Interpol, Biffy Clyro), the song is a true statement piece, oozing indie flair and elevating the band’s fresh and authentic sound, offering another insight to their highly-anticipated debut album which the band are currently recording. ‘Maybe California’ follows their previous single ‘All Your Friends’.

The video, directed by Ronan Corrigan and Hope Kemp, is one big slice of Americana – a homage to the Red White & Blue. Set in the queue of a drive-thru diner, the band watch the dichotomy of ‘fake’ social media portrayal vs ‘reality’ from the seats of their Mercedes Benz. Watch HERE.

The band have been laying waste to festival crowds throughout the summer, including the Edinburgh Summer Sessions with UK chart-topper Lewis Capaldi, as well as memorable sets at Reading & Leeds, Victorious Festival and their triumphant main stage performance at TRNSMT to 20,000 people which was dubbed by BBC News as “Snuts Day”.

Earlier this week, the band treated fans to a tiny warm up show at London’s Shacklewell Arms, preparing them for their biggest ever headline tour which kicks off September 12th in Sunderland. The tour will host sold out shows across the UK, and shifted a massive 2,000 tickets in just ten minutes on announcement – a solid demonstration of the hunger and desire from their rabid fanbase. The tour will also include their biggest show outside of their home of Scotland at London’s Scala on October 22nd. Undeniable evidence of their impressive ascent.

Following a successful set at Mosley Folk Festival last weekend, County Line Runner, aka singer-songwriter Adam Day, today releases his new single ‘Cold Dawn’ on KIDinaKORNER and Polydor Records.

Starting off with simple synths and building slowly, ‘Cold Dawn’ has a beautiful melancholic edge coupled with sombre lyrics. On the track Adam said, “’Cold Dawn’ is really about how some things have a way of catching up with you… This song I’d written and then kind of buried until my guitar player Sam asked about it during a recording session.  Some things you write and don’t want to re-live but Sam really connected with it and I’m glad that he helped bring it back.”

Listen to ‘Cold Dawn’ HERE

Named after a character from a US nineties TV show who robbed banks across county lines, the moniker summarises his place at a handful of intersections -upbeat energy versus introverted vulnerability, folk sensibilities versus rock ambition, with a nod towards post-punk and nostalgia for days gone by versus hope for the future.

With support from the likes of BBC Music, The Independent, RadioX, Beats1 and Clash Magazine, County Line Runner grace the stages of a handful of festivals this summer, including Reeperbahn Festival, Latitude and Mosley Folk Festival, before a headline tour in February, with a date at London’s Hoxton Bar & Kitchen on 24^th October.

Following blockbuster years led by multiple global smash singles & billions of streams worldwide, the UK’s leading producer/songwriter Jonas Blue, & hottest rising pop star HRVY, have come together to release the sensational end of summer hit ‘Younger’ – watch the lyric video here.

Spawned from a friendship that first blossomed on stage at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball, Jonas & HRVY have produced an electronic pop anthem that encapsulates the intense and unbridled feeling of being young and free during the summer time where the weight of all responsibility is lifted.

Having previously worked together on Jonas’ hits ‘Mama’, ‘Rise’ and ‘Polaroid’, ‘Younger’ was co-written with Sam Roman, one of the songwriting titans behind the biggest UK hit single of 2019, Lewis Capaldi’s ‘Someone You Loved’. Whilst Jonas has been in Japan cementing himself as the country’s biggest British export, playing major arena shows and breaking records selling more than Drake and Post Malone, Sam has been scoring gargantuan global hits, with further writing credits including songs for Rita Ora, Tom Walker, Demi Lovato, Khalid, Craig David, Little MIx, Olly Murs, Mary J Blige and many more. The two British songwriting powerhouses are reunited once more, and the results are phenomenal.

In an era of slow-building careers, Jonas Blue is an anomaly. Amassing an armoury of platinum hit singles with over 8 billion global streams and over 45 million singles sales – Jonas has become a mainstage DJ, pop powerhouse and critically acclaimed songwriter with hits including ‘Fast Car’, ‘Perfect Strangers’, ‘Mama’, ‘Polaroid’, his collaboration with Liam Payne, and Rise’ – one of summer 2018’s biggest global hits featuring Jack & Jack.

Jonas went on to release his debut album ‘Blue’ in November 2018, which is now on course to smash its way to silver status.

At just 20 years old, HRVY is already a global star. He has 4.5 million Instagram followers, over 2 million YouTube subscribers and more than 750 million combined streams to his name. Tipped as one of 2019’s BBC Radio 1 Brit List artists following his sold out Hammersmith Apollo show, huge international and UK radio airplay singles plus now BRIT certified Silver smash ’Personal’, which has now amassed more than 500 million combined streams. For HRVY, 2019 started as he means to go on, having already sold out shows in UK, Europe, Korea, Malta and having visited the USA, Canada, Mexico, Norway, Japan, Spain, Philippines, France, Netherlands, Holland, Sweden & Greece plus released a stream of singles including ‘Told You So’ which amassed over 3 million combined streams in its first week, ‘Don’t Need Your Love’ with Korean boyband NCT Dream and ‘I Miss Myself’ with NOTD plus spent the year in writing sessions planning for 2019 & 2020.

Party is the mantra, and euphoria is the state of mind. ‘Younger’ is about to be your feel good hit of the summer.
