Miles has also released the uplifting new single ‘Time Of Your Life’. “‘Time of Your Life’ is the first song I’ve ever written on the piano. These are the only chords I know on piano and I created this song about everyday life, growing old and remembering to embrace each day,” Miles said of the track. “We ain’t here for long so we have to have the time of our lives.” Listen HERE. 

Returning to his guitar hero best on One Man Band, Miles lays focus on big hooks and even bigger anthems. Sharp, infectious, urgent and packed to the brim with singalong moments, it’s Miles on the top of his game. A deeply personal record, Miles returned to Liverpool to work on the album, finding himself reflecting on his journey. 

Recorded at the brand new Kempston Street Studios, Miles teamed up with longtime collaborator James Skelly of The Coral for production duties. Taking shape after Miles wrote the album’s infectious title-track and the hazy ‘Ransom’, he hooked up with Blossoms’ Tom Ogden and Keiran Shudall of Circa Waves, as well as Andy Burrow and regular writing partner Jamie Biles to put the tracks together.

One Man Band is a career defining album, sonically brilliant, heartfelt and filled with music he was destined to make since the very beginning of an action packed career.

Psyche-pop four-piece Lo Moon return with their first new music of 2023, ‘Evidence,’ thus confirming a new body of work is on the way for 2024. The track is paired with an official music video, directed by Saoli Nash & Warren Fu, also revealed today. Listen to ‘Evidence’ HERE & watch the official music video HERE.

Speaking about the new song, Lo Moon’s Matt Lowell reveals, “’Evidence’ is a song about learning from your mistakes. A song that explores the innocence of young love and the journey we’re all on to become better partners, better people, and more emotionally available. Sometimes this takes time and looking back at who I was as an adolescent helped me realize who I’ve become as an adult. The arc of relationships can teach us a lot about who we are, even if it’s emotionally scarring to explore.” 

The new music follows the band’s recently concluded Los Angeles underplay residency, which saw them play four packed-to-the-rafters shows at Zebulon. Each night the band was joined with special guest appearances, week one; Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES (WATCH), Adam Granduciel from The War On Drugs on week two (WATCH), and most recently, the legendary Curt Smith from Tears For Fears (WATCH). 

Later this week, the band heads to the East Coast for a three night intimate residency at Pianos in New York City on October 25, 26 and 27, before embarking on a 14-date UK and EU tour next month, including three intimate dates at The Lexington in London.

Depeche Mode unveils new dimensions of “My Favourite Stranger” with today’s digital release of five new remixes of the track hailed by Allmusic for its “pulsing menace” that “builds to discomfiting yet alluring levels of anxiety.” The latest series of reimaginations of a song from the universally acclaimed Memento Mori (Columbia Records), the newly released “My Favourite Stranger” remixes are by Boris Brejcha, Ela Minus, Long Island Sound, Sunken Cages and Al Wootton.

Meanwhile in the physical world, Depeche Mode announces the launch of the Memento Mori White Label Remix Series, a monthly drop of 12” vinyl singles building on the previously digital-only remixes of Memento Mori’s singles. The series will debut with the November 10 release of  “Ghosts Again,”  the first of these limited edition, individually numbered pieces. Pre-orders are now open for the Memento Mori White Label Remix Series, which will be available exclusively at https://lnk.to/depechemodestore/ in the U.S., and at select physical retailers in Europe.

On the live front, the third leg of Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori World Tour continues to play to capacity crowds and ecstatic reviews. The band returns to New York tomorrow for an October 21 date at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, to be followed a week later by the tour’s second stop at Madison Square Garden on October 28. With recent performances described by NOLA.com as “the best of Depeche Mode from back then, delivered with all the power and passion of Depeche Mode now” and by the Houston Chronicle as “a sharing of spirits and energies, with each other and the crowd that so clearly still adores them,” the tour’s second North American run will continue in arenas across the continent before wrapping with a mid-December four-night stand in Los Angeles. The band will then return to Europe at the start of 2024 for an additional round of European dates following last summer’s sold-out stadium tour. See below for a full list of dates.

Having sold more than 100 million records and played to more than 35 million fans worldwide, Depeche Mode remains an ever-evolving and singularly influential musical force. Depeche Mode released its acclaimed 15th studio album, Memento Mori, on March 24, 2023 alongside the launch of the Memento Mori World Tour, which has since played to well over two million fans and has been extended into 2024 due to overwhelming demand. An indelible inspiration to fans, critics and artists alike, Depeche Mode continues to forge ahead, with the Memento Mori album and tour representing the newest chapter of a peerless and ongoing legacy.

Pearl Jam and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, commemorate the 30th anniversary of the band’s seminal sophomore full-length offering, Vs., with a series of special releases, available in new Vinyl and Cassette configurations via various partners on November 17th.

Pearl Jam’s own Ten Club features an exclusive 2LP Dreamsicle (translucent orange with white swirls) color variant vinyl and clear cassette. While for HMV & Indies in the UK a 1LP clear vinyl will also be available, alongside a new black 2LP vinyl which will be available in all participating retailers. Album and cassette preorders are available HERE.

Additionally, Pearl Jam and Legacy Recordings will unveil a brand new Atmos Spatial Audio Mix of the album releasing tomorrow October 20th on Apple Music alongside new visualizer videos for each track on the album. Stream the Vs. and watch the track visualizers HERE.

Pearl Jam arrived like a tidal wave with Ten in 1991, unassumingly emerging as one of the most popular bands in rock music and culture at large. With all eyes on them for a follow-up, the musicians opted to hold nothing back, cut deeper, and deliver a dark and dynamic 12-track opus in the form of Vs. Powered by classics such as the heartbreakingly introspective “Daughter,” acoustic nostalgia of “Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town,” primal punked-up fury of “Blood,” and downright raw catharsis of “Leash,” the album found the group at its rawest. From the explosion of “Go” through the poignant exhale of “Indifference,” it traced a journey through insecurity and uncertainty in the face of unwanted fame, stared down heavy themes such as abuse and neurodivergent learning disorders, raised a middle finger to America’s gun obsession and police brutality, tackled the topic of suicide fearlessly, and even managed to let light peek through the cracks with some of the group’s most treasured anthems ever.

In a 1993 Rolling Stone interview with Cameron Crowe, Eddie Vedder shared, “Music is an incredibly powerful medium to deliver a story by. But the best thing is, you have to have volume. You’re supposed to play it loud. I would do anything to be around music. You don’t even have to pay me.”

Vs. is the sound of a band who won’t compromise its message or meaning. It’s the moment the tide really turned…

It also notably marked the first of many albums to be helmed by longtime collaborator Brendan O’Brien, kicking off a now three-decade partnership with the producer. Upon arrival, Vs. smashed records by moving over 950,000 copies during its first five days in stores, eclipsing the sales of the rest of the entire Billboard Top 10 combined. It clinched #1 on the respective chart for five weeks, logging the longest run at the top for any Pearl Jam release to date. It held the record for “most albums sold first-week” for the next five years and set the record for “most first-week vinyl sales,” which would stand for the next 20 years.

Moving 10 million units worldwide, Vs. has since gone 7x-platinum in the States. Meanwhile, “Daughter” just reached RIAA platinum status, while “Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town” has gone gold.

Retrospectively, Rolling Stone hailed, “Pearl Jam emerged victorious with Vs., an album that still stands as one of the strongest records of their long and storied career. Looser, heavier and angrier than their debut, Vs. found the band exploring new sounds and dynamics.” Billboard proclaimed, “To date, the sophomore set that proved the band could do things its own way — a tactic that directly helped make its longevity possible.”

Not to mention, Pearl Jam’s tenth full-length  LPand fan favorite Lightning Bolt also celebrates its 10th anniversary this week. It originally dropped on October 15, 2013 and became the group’s fifth #1 debut on the Billboard 200. Brendan O’Brien produced Lightning Bolt, and it will be released in Spatial Audio on October 20th.

Multi-platinum, GRAMMY® Award-winning, alternative rock pioneers, The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer have today announced a major summer tour of the UK and Ireland in 2024.

When The Smashing Pumpkins first emerged out of Chicago in 1988, the world had never heard a band quite like them. They spun together rock, pop, shoe-gaze, metal, goth, psychedelia, and electronic into a kaleidoscope of saccharine melodies, fuzzy distortion, bombastic orchestration, incendiary fretwork, eloquent songcraft, and unshakable hooks. Upon their formation, their sound was different, iconoclastic, and wholly new—and it still is today. As a result, they’ve sold over 30 million albums worldwide and collected two GRAMMY® Awards, two MTV VMAs, and an American Music Award. Their catalog is highlighted by the platinum Gish [1991], the quadruple-platinum Siamese Dream [1993], diamond-certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995], platinum Adore [1998], and gold Machina/The Machines of God [2000]. 

In 2018, they embarked on one of their most successful tours ever, the Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour, followed by SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN. 2020 saw the release of the band’s eleventh full-length and latest double album, CYR. Meanwhile, 2023 has so far seen the release of album ATUM, a rock opera presented in three acts, alongside a massive sold out North American tour.  As prolific as ever, The Smashing Pumpkins are currently working on new music. More details to come.

The iconic Weezer return to the UK following their stint on the Hella Mega sold out stadium tour, the release of their innovative quartet of EPs SZNZ in 2022 and massive sold out headline US tour.  

Weezer’s music has been streamed billions of times with the band selling over 10 million albums in the U.S. and over 35 million records worldwide since their debut album’s release in 1994. Their catalogue has included such megahits as “Buddy Holly,” “Undone (The Sweater Song),” “Say It Ain’t So,” “El Scorcho,” “Hash Pipe,” “Island In The Sun,” “Beverly Hills,” “Pork and Beans,” and more.  

The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer tour follows their headline stints at BeachLife festival in California last year. Tickets for the UK and Ireland 2024 tour go on sale Friday 20th October at 10am via www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk. For Ireland, tickets will be available at www.ticketmaster.ie.

Acclaimed pianist, composer and producer CHLOE FLOWER today shares the second track “River,” her take on the beloved Christmas folk song by Joni Mitchell, from her first-ever holiday album, CHLOE HEARTS CHRISTMAS, arriving Friday, November 1 from Sony Music Masterworks – listen here. 

Of “River,” Chloe says, “Joni is such an inspiration to me not only as a writer, but as a woman. She redefined a woman’s role in music during a time when women weren’t legally allowed to have a credit card in their name. Musically, it was important for me to present not only the joyful emotions the holiday season brings, but the sorrowful ones too.  ‘River’ beautifully captures the feeling of loneliness and regret that so many of us experience during the holidays, so this song reminds us that your feelings are valid and that can be healing.” Listen HERE & Watch Chloe perform as part of ‘At Home With Chloe Flower’ HERE.

Available for preorder now, Chloe Hearts Christmas includes a range of festive favorites, each of which have been newly rearranged by Chloe and given her self-coined “popsical,” or pop-meets-classical treatment. From traditional melodies and beloved standards to contemporary pop hits and holiday film soundtracks, Chloe brings together a dazzling array of musical styles to capture the spirit and sound of the season, enlisting longtime friends and musical icons Questlove and Babyface as collaborators on five of the album’s sixteen tracks. 

The release of Chloe Hearts Christmas marks a lifelong dream for pianist, composer and producer Chloe Flower, whose love of the season is no secret. “Everyone knows I’m obsessed with Christmas. It’s my favorite time of the year,” she says when asked about the album’s inception, which began in many ways, with last year’s release of her first-ever holiday EP, Christmas with Chloe Flower. The 4-track EP was an immediate success, landing Chloe a coveted spot as the first-ever classical instrumentalist to perform on Disney’s annual Magical Holiday Special. “Performing at their show was a dream come true. I was truly so inspired, and I think even then I knew where my musical journey was taking me next,” Chloe remarks of the experience. 

Now making her dreams into reality, Chloe Hearts Christmas arrives as a carefully curated mix of traditional classical pieces, beloved standards and carols, contemporary pop favorites and holiday film cues, each infused with Chloe’s signature “popsical” sound. Chloe fittingly likens the record’s sound to her Christmas traditions growing up, noting, “It’s like my dad’s Christmas dinner plate, filled with stuffing and kimchee. You might not think they go together at first, but they do!” Much like her Korean American spin on Christmas dinner, Chloe’s artistry is rooted in the marriage of traditional classical music and modern pop sensibilities, a talent on full display and taken to new heights on Chloe Hearts Christmas. 

Included within the expansive 16-track collection are orchestral selections from Tchaikovsky and Leontovych, beloved standards from Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, contemporary pop hits like “Christmas Tree” from BTS’s V, Ariana Grande and Sia, as well as seasonal favorites from Joni Mitchell and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The album also includes a number of selections from films including Anastasia, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Sound of Music and more, showcasing Chloe’s longtime love of the transportive power of cinematic music. A fierce advocate for representation in the music industry, Chloe was also careful in selecting tracks that spoke to her support of female artistry as well as her Asian-American heritage, with selections from V of BTS and songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Sia, Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey. 

Joining Chloe as producers on the album are Nick Patrick, a multi-award winner who has worked with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, as well as Chloe’s longtime collaborator and mentor Babyface, who joins Chloe to provide a hip hop-inflected take on “Carol of the Bells.” Also featured across four of the album’s tracks is another of Chloe’s longtime collaborators and friends, Questlove, who adds his legendary percussion skills to “Blue Christmas,” “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “The Christmas Waltz” and “Jingle Bell Rock.” The duo were joined by Hollywood composer, arranger, and conductor Chris Walden on “Blue Christmas” and “The Christmas Waltz,” of which Chloe says, “I really wanted listeners to hear and feel the nostalgia of that era. Questlove’s knowledge of music and Chris’ repertoire of Old Hollywood arrangements made them the perfect choices to replicate that sound.” The resulting collection effortlessly transcends genres, decades and styles – from the first crisp notes of album opener “Sleigh Ride” to the final flourish of “Jingle Bell Rock” – Chloe Hearts Christmas is a timeless showcase of the rich tapestry of holiday music.

ABOUT CHLOE FLOWER 

Visionary artist Chloe Flower became the most talked about pianist in the world after a show-stopping performance with rap queen Cardi B at the 2019 Grammy Awards, launching her into viral fame nearly overnight and prompting her major label debut with Sony Music Masterworks. The Pennsylvania native began playing the piano at the age of two, studying at Manhattan School of Music and London’s Royal Academy of Music before meeting her mentor, the 12-time GRAMMY Award-winning R&B singer-songwriter and producer, Kenny ‘Babyface’ Edmonds. In the years since, Chloe has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, including artists like Meek Mill, Lil Baby, Celine Dion, 2Chainz and Nas as well as producers like Mike WiLL Made-It (Miley Cyrus / Beyonce) and Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande / Justin Bieber). Releasing her self-titled debut in 2021, Chloe has coined the term “popsical” to describe her imitable style, which infuses classical music with a contemporary pop sensibility.

Chloe is not only a gifted musician and fashion icon but also an outspoken activist as well. She serves on the advisory board of the UNODC’s Blue Heart campaign. She has been honored by the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Activism (CAST) and received The Last Girl Award from Gloria Steinem and Apne Aap for her efforts in the fight against human trafficking. As a champion of music education, she is the youngest board member of the Liberace Foundation. An official Steinway Artist, Chloe proudly celebrates her Asian heritage and culture and is a fierce advocate for women’s representation — particularly women of color — in the music industry. She most recently performed and spoke for the Forbes Power Women’s Summit as well as the HeForShe Summit for UNWomen.

Off the back of a triumphant run of debut headline shows over the past week, Irish lockdown sensation Luz (pronounced ‘Luce’) delivers another slice of stunning new music with ‘i shouldn’t be here’ – a piano-pop masterclass, detailing her inspirational mental health journey and yet again showcasing both her hugely relatable songwriting and delicate, soul-piercing voice – listen HERE.

‘i shouldn’t be here’ follows the 2022 Ivor Novello Rising Star nominee’s recent return with the rousing ‘not going anywhere’& simply stunning ‘sustain’, as well as her previously captivating singles ‘the author’ & ‘counting houses’. Her entire catalogue has been streamed collectively more than 120 million times to date – a highly impressive feat.

Luz comments; “This track was written during a time where I was experiencing really bad depression. I thought that the people close to me would be better off if I wasn’t in their lives anymore because of everything I put them through. For two years, I suffered with these thoughts constantly. As the song progresses, the lyrics and mood starts to shift as I begin to work on my mental health. I started therapy and accepted help from the people who love and care about me. This song is really special to me and I hope that anyone who listens to it and relates to it can also feel hope that it will be okay in the end.”

Luz’s trio of sold out debut headline shows this month have been nothing short of a resounding success. Starting in Cork, before making her way to Dublin, she stormed into London this week, taking the roof off of London’s Omeara, leaving an insatiable fanbase, who sang every word, counting down the days till her highly-anticipated return. As a result, she today announces brand new, even bigger, headline dates for March next year, including London’s Lafayette on March 21st, 2024. Artist presale starts Wed 18th Oct @ 10am & tickets go on general sale Fri 20th Oct @ 10am.

Luz first posted music secretly from her bedroom, with her identity always remaining anonymous. At the age of 16, she started to slowly lift the veil of secrecy and it was only then that she told her parents. Her mesmerising voice and emotive storytelling is sophisticated beyond her years, tackling issues such as mental health and sexuality. She has since caught the attention of Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Sigrid, Julia Michaels, Lewis Capaldi, Dermot Kennedy, Niall Horan and many more. 

Also, during lockdown, Luz put a piano version of Dua Lipa’s ‘Don’t Start Now’ on TikTok. Her cover has now amassed over 8 million views and was officially approved by Dua Lipa herself. She also featured alongside Noah Kahan for a mesmerising version of his single ‘Passenger’.

Having previously supported Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi and JP Saxe at one off dates, Luz will take on her debut headline shows in October, in Cork, Dublin & London. Tickets available HERE.

At just 22 years of age, tackling real life issues in real time, Luz enters the world as one of the most exciting new voices from Ireland. With lots more new music, and now a new run of bigger headline dates in March next year, watch this space.

Following his recent return with new tracks ‘Blindside’ & ‘A Year Ago’, and the announcement of his fifth, brand new studio album Bitter Sweet Love – out January 26th, 2024 on Columbia Records – multi-Platinum artist James Arthur releases new single ‘Just Us’ – listen here & watch video here.

James delivers a stunning, powerful ballad about realising the true meaning of life – true love, loving ourselves, our families, communities and being there for them. “‘Just Us’ is a song in which I confess to running away from what really matters and getting lost in the pursuit of validation from external things,” James explains. “It’s about chasing a hedonistic, hollow life. Realising the true meaning of life which is of course about true love, loving ourselves, our families and our communities and being there for them.”

 
He also recently announced his return to the stage with a huge UK & European tour that hits the UK in March next year for a run of 8 huge arena shows, including London’s Wembley OVO Arena on March 16th, 2024 (full dates below).

Bitter Sweet Love is James back to his very best, producing thirteen bites of world class music. After being on stage, it struck him how his fifth album should sound. A sold-out crowd was singing along to his hits, immersed in the emotion that James could hear in his own voice.

Within days of the tour ending in the States, James began sessions with different producers to see who could click with his vision. His final stop was in L.A. with Steve Solomon, with whom he co-wrote his 2016 megahit ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’.

Back in Britain, James attempted to write with more producers, but none came close to his bond with Steve, who flew over to finish the album at Miloco Studios in South London last summer, and produce a mature body of work, full of depth and oozing the impeccable songwriting quality that has defined James’s esteemed career to date.

The Middlesbrough-born, recent Brit Billion-certified artist 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.

James is one of the world’s biggest streaming artists, with over 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. ‘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 is currently becoming another global hit for James.

“The more albums you make and the more success you have, the more the pressure tends to be upon you. But I genuinely felt like a kid again, just making music I loved, not worried about trying to please everyone.”

James Arthur will play the following UK & Irish arena dates next year: Tickets on sale Friday HERE.

Newly reissued in expanded form, The Corrs announce that Best Of The Corrs will be made available for the first time on vinyl – out December 1st – in a stunning limited edition 2LP gold vinyl format and expanded 2 CD collection.

Originally released in 2001, Best Of The Corrs is a 21-track double platinum hits collection covering The Corrs’ hugely successful first three studio albums Forgiven Not Forgotten, Talk On Corners and In Blue, including hits such as Breathless, Runaway, What Can I Do, Radio, Dreams and more.

The newly reissued collection features three new songs recorded in tribute to Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, following her sad passing in 2022. The band have recorded beautiful new versions of the classic songs Little Lies, Everywhere and Songbird – produced and recorded by Guy Chambers. Little Lies is available on all streaming platforms here, and Songbird will arrive on November 30th – the first anniversary of Christine’s death. A two-track 7” single of Little Lies/Songbird will be released on very limited D2C on October 27th.

The Corrs are a family affair, Andrea (lead vocals, piano), Sharon (violin, piano, vocals), Caroline (drums, piano, vocals) and Jim (guitar, piano, vocals) who have sold over 40 million albums worldwide since their 1995 debut album Forgiven Not Forgotten crashed into the charts and stole our hearts. An enchanting mix of traditional Celtic music with a pop rock twist, The Corrs have written some of the biggest songs of the last three decades.

They have enjoyed a career that has also seen Platinum records, BRIT Awards, Grammy and Ivor Novello nominations, the honour of being the only band to be asked to perform at Nelson Mandela’s 86th birthday, and more recently, the Queen’s Jubilee in 2002.
 

Their last album, 2017’s Jupiter Calling, was The Corrs’ seventh and most distinguished album – recorded with legendary producer T. Bone Burnett at London’s RAK Studios.

In 2022, Talk On Corners, The Corrs’ record-breaking second album turned 25! The UK charts it’s the fourth biggest record of the 1990s, and in 2016 was still listed as the 28th biggest selling album of all time. Its success – returning to Number 1 six times – brought their 1995 debut Forgiven, Not Forgotten up to Number 2, making them the rare band to achieve that feat. It was influential too, with Ed Sheeran citing the band’s 90s success as the inspiration behind his hit single Galway Girl.

The band have also been announced as Ambassadors for this year’s National Album Day on October 14th – celebrating the art of the record. The band say; “We’re delighted to be ambassadors for this year’s National Album Day. ‘Forgiven, Not Forgotten’ was our debut album originally released 28 years ago back in 1995. Its release came at such a special moment in time for us and it’s been a real pleasure revisiting the memories.”

The Corrs will now hit the road once more on a 12-date tour of southeast Asia, Australia & New Zealand – kicking off October 18th in Jakarta. Full dates can be found here.
