‘And It’s Still Alright’ out Feb 14th on Stax Records

Title Track Out Now

Plays London’s Royal Albert Hall 29th April

Nathaniel Rateliff is set to release, And Its Still Alright, his first solo album in nearly seven years, on February 14th, 2020 via Stax Records.

When Rateliff began writing for the new album, the songs initially centered on the pain of his unraveling relationship, but the theme of the album took a different direction when Richard Swift, his longtime friend and producer of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ two acclaimed albums, passed away in July 2018. Across the 10 tracks on And It’s Still Alright, you can feel Rateliff faltering but never losing hope—hope that it’s all part of a bigger plan. While the songs are quieter and more reflective than the exuberant soul The Night Sweats have become famous for, they are no less urgent and indelible, as he pushes the boundaries and finds new depths in his songwriting—a singular voice embarking on a personal exploration of love, loss and perseverance.

Rateliff wrote the album’s lead single and title track, “And It’s Still Alright,” specifically about Swift—a song of haunting grace and acceptance. Watch the Rett Rogers-directed video HERE.

“I think I always want to see hope in the darkness, and I like to try to share that,” Rateliff explains. “I always try to write from a perspective of trying to approach everything very honestly, even if it leaves me vulnerable. But overall, it’s almost like I’m a different character when I’m writing for myself.” He continues, “I think this album is a reminder that we all go through hardship, but regardless of the hardship everything ends up where it’s supposed to. I still continue to live, and I still continue to find joy. I think that’s the theme of the record.”

To record And It’s Still Alright, Rateliff returned to Swift’s studio, National Freedom, in Cottage Grove, Oregon. He was joined by co-producers Patrick Meese (longtime collaborator and The Night Sweats drummer) and James Barone (Beach House drummer), who both also engineered and mixed the record. The album features additional contributions from Tom Hagerman (DeVotchKa violinist), Luke Mossman (The Night Sweats guitarist), Elijah Thomson (Everest bassist), Daniel Creamer (The Texas Gentlemen keyboardist) and Eric Swanson (steel guitarist).

Growing up in rural Missouri, Rateliff got his early music education from his family, who performed in the church band in which Rateliff played drums, and his father’s record collection. At 19, Rateliff moved to Denver where he spent the next 10 years working night shifts at a bottle factory and a trucking company while testing out songs at open-mic nights. Preceding the emergence of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Nathaniel released three albums and an EP; Desire and Dissolving Men (2007), In Memory of Loss (2010), Falling Faster Than You Can Run (2013) and the Closer EP (2014).

In 2015, Rateliff launched Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. The band’s self-titled debut album was a breakout success; now certified Gold in the U.S., it has sold over a million records worldwide. Their sophomore album, Tearing at the Seams, was released in March, 2018 to widespread acclaim and featured three singles that hit #1 at Triple A Radio (“You Worry Me,” “A Little Honey” and “Hey Mama”). Rateliff and the band have appeared on nearly every late-night television program and toured extensively worldwide, playing major festivals and selling out iconic venues including their hometown Red Rocks Amphitheater multiple times.

‘Hotel Song’ Out Now

Simone Felice presents Diana DeMuth at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on 15th January 2020

Restless and ready to pave her own way, Diana DeMuth has burst onto the singer-songwriter scene with an arresting perspective about life, love and self-discovery through new single ‘Hotel Song’. Diana has also announced her producer and collaborator Simone Felice (Bat For Lashes, The Lumineers, Jade Bird) will introduce her music live at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on 15th January. The show will see Diana and Simone perform solo sets, as well as tracks together.

Conceived in a London hotel and produced by multi-platinum record producer Simone Felice, ‘Hotel Song’ is an emotionally charged anthem; the vagabond chorus evokes the liberating feeling of driving down an empty road with nothing but your dreams, destiny and the windows down. Speaking of the track Diana says, ‘“Hotel Song is really about self-discovery and liberation. It’s about finding the inner strength to set yourself free from whatever holds you back’.

Listen To ‘Hotel Song’ HERE

Growing up on the coast of Massachusetts, DeMuth was immersed in a bohemian upbringing where she moved from place to place with hippie parents. That same restless spirit inhabited DeMuth: she always had a sense that there was something out there beyond where she grew up and that existence. At 19, after going to college for one week, DeMuth left because she was certain music was her path. For the past five years, she’s focused on just that, spending her time traveling and playing small gigs around America, while waitressing and honing her craft.

DeMuth and Felice teamed up with Felice’s longtime collaborator David Baron at a Catskill Mountain house overlooking the Shokan Reservoir outside Woodstock where the music flowed quickly and freely, and together they began to record.

Diana will join Simone Felice for his show at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on 15th January. Tickets for the show are on-sale HERE.

New Instant Grat ‘Christmas Morning’ Out Now

Includes New Single With Sigma ‘You And Me As One’

Currently On A Sold Out Winter UK Tour
Headlines Kew The Music 2020 – July 9th

As Jack Savoretti gears up to finish the biggest year of his career, he today announces a special edition of his Number 1 charting, third consecutive UK gold-certified album, ‘Singing To Strangers’ – out December 6th on BMG.

Jack finds himself marvelling at a marvellous year. Months of rapturously received shows across the world; a triumphant, sold-out Wembley Arena homecoming; collaborations with artists as diverse as Kylie, Mika and Sigma; and an album in ‘Singing To Strangers’ that is one of the best selling albums of the year, with sales fast approaching 150,000.

This is no three-b-sides-and-a-Live-in-Pompeii-version-of-the-big-single. Singing To Strangers: Special Edition features three brand new studio tracks, ‘Closer’ and ‘Waiting For The Sun’, plus a stunning original festive track ‘Christmas Morning’ – listen here.

Jack says of the poignant, strings-laden ballad which he wrote for his children; “ I wanted to reassure them that, even if I’m far away, I’ll be there on Christmas morning. I wanted them to have this song they could listen to every Christmas.”

It also includes the Radio 2 A-list smash ‘Youth & Love’ feat. Mika, ‘Music’s Too Sad Without You’ (Jack’s hit duet with Kylie Minogue); the stunning live performance of The Killers ‘Human’ with Ward Thomas from the SSE Arena, Wembley 2019, as well as ‘Candlelight’ from his Radio 2 Ken Bruce Piano Session and Jack’s collaboration with UK artist Sigma ‘You And Me As One’.

“I didn’t want this to feel like another album, nor just some outtakes,” he insists. “It has to feel like its own thing, and also be a step along the way to the next album. So that gives you some creative liberties. I want people to go: ‘Wait, what? He’s doing what with who now?’

Here, then, again, anew, is Jack Savoretti’s masterpiece, offering love and warmth and togetherness in cold and fractious times. He began the year singing to strangers. He’s ending it singing to friends – hundreds of thousands of them.

 

Jack is halfway through his sold out UK headline tour and plays the following UK dates, as well as headlining Kew The Music 2020 next summer:

 

Sat 9th                         CARDIFF, The Great Hall                                          SOLD OUT

Available Via All DSP’s Now

“I’m the man / The one you hate / Don’t you understand / He’s like me the man…”

Songwriter, singer, and visual artist Jehnny Beth has released an incendiary, industrial new track today called “I’m The Man” as part of the Peaky Blinders soundtrack; the song was first featured in the fourth episode of the show’s current season this past September.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO “I’M THE MAN.”

“I’m The Man” is one of only three unreleased tracks on the soundtrack, and was hand chosen for inclusion by Peaky Blinders’ acclaimed director/writer Anthony Byrne during the editing of the last season.  After falling instantly in love with the track, Byrne reached out to Jehnny Beth about using it in an episode, which led to its inclusion on the soundtrack.

Says Jehnny Beth about the track:  “‘I’m The Man’ is an attempted study on humankind, what we define as evil and the inner conflict of morality. Because it is much easier to label the people who are clearly tormented by obsessions as monsters than to discern the universal human background which is visible behind them.  However, this song has not even a remote connection with a sociological study, collective psychology, or present politics; It is a poetic work first and foremost. Its aim is to make you feel, not think.”   Lyrics for the song are below.

Best known as the charismatic lead singer and co-writer of UK band Savages, who received Mercury Prize nominations for their classic two albums Silence Yourself (2013) and Adore Life (2016), this new song is the second offering of Beth’s solo material; the first being the soundtrack for Showtime’s XY Chelsea – a documentary about Chelsea Manning — which she co-wrote and recorded with longtime producer Johnny Hostile.

While Savages have been on a break since 2017, Jehnny Beth has used the time well, making a handful of live guest appearances and collaborating with artists including PJ Harvey, The XX, Gorillaz, The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, and Anna Calvi.

‘Merry Christmas, Darling’ Out November 22nd
Title Track feat. Emeli Sandé – Out Now

He’s been dubbed ‘the golden voice of Africa’ by 16-time Grammy Award-winning Humberto Gatica (Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion) and now Nigerian sensation Timi Dakolo releases his debut UK album ‘Merry Christmas, Darling’ November 22nd on Hafe Music/Virgin EMI. The stunning title track, featuring Emeli Sandé, is released today – listen here.

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Timi presents a simply gorgeous, heartfelt collection of soulful Christmas ballads backed by the London Symphony Orchestra. ‘Merry Christmas, Darling’ combines Timi’s unique voice with some of the greatest classical standards ever written. The album, which was two years in the making was additionally recorded in Libreville, Budapest, Lagos and Los Angeles.

The album is Executively Produced by Mr. Ali Bongo Ondimba – the visionary behind the project. Producers Humberto Gatica and award-winning jazz composer Frederic Michel Gassita came together with co-Executive Producer Efe Ogbeni, to create what is set to be the soundtrack of the Holiday. Timi said of recording at Abbey Road studios; “Recording this album one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.”
Born in Ghana to a Nigerian father and a Ghanaian mother, Timi was primarily raised by his grandmother in Port Harcourt, south-eastern Nigeria, after his mother died when he was just 13. His love of singing was nurtured by his grandmother.

Timi is well known in Nigeria since winning the country’s first ever televised talent competition. His soulful, r&b debut album followed as did a series of stirring, emotional singles including ‘Great Nation’ which has been adopted as the nations second national anthem. His determination to stay true to himself has made him one of Africa’s most loved artists in a music scene dominated by Afrobeats. Influenced by Teddy Pendegrass, Michael Buble, Sam Smith and Luther Vandross, Timi’s eclectic musical palette has inspired him to create music with crossover appeal.

‘Merry Christmas Darling’ is his first Christmas album and also features Eric Benet on ‘White Christmas’, Kenny G. and The Eben Voices of Gabon Choir on ‘Hallelujah’.

First Taste of Forthcoming Album Out Now on BMG

Listen to ‘Trouble in Paradise’ HERE

Rufus Wainwright makes a most welcome return with the smart classic pop of brand new single ‘Trouble In Paradise’.

The song is full of firsts: his first with new producer Mitchell Froom on his new label BMG and his first new pop music since his 2012 ‘Out of the Game’ album produced by Mark Ronson.

Not that Rufus has been idle these last 7 years, in fact he’s never been busier. He’s been travelling the globe touring, writing and recording operas and an elegant disc full of Shakespeare Sonnets. Last Easter he celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut album with a sold out show at London’s Royal Albert Hall of biblical proportions that also featured most of his 2nd acclaimed record ‘Poses’. Similar US and European dates were warmly received.

That precocious debut was recorded in LA as has his forthcoming, eagerly anticipated new album. “As soon as I got to LA I realised I wanted to make another of those good, old-fashioned records,” Rufus says.

Meeting producer Mitchell Froom cemented the idea and the two set about creating what promises to be a highlight in a career full of them.

‘Trouble In Paradise’ is about the fashion world but also applies to the state of the planet. As for the music, Rufus says it has “a sense of sophistication and an animalistic instinct.”

He adds: “After the opera world and natural ageing, I can now sing at the full power of my abilities, and this record really shows that off.”

From a man who regularly makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up with the sheer range and power of his voice, that’s one scary thought.

You have been warned!

Forthcoming Album ‘High Road’ Due Out January 10

Today Kesha drops her new song “Raising Hell” ft. Big Freedia, further cementing the legacy of a modern pop icon who has always used her rebellious spirit, irreverent sense of humor, quick-witted songwriting and undeniable heart to reinvent herself and bring joy to her fans. It’s the first taste of what’s to come off her upcoming album ‘High Road’, which will be released January 10 on Kemosabe/RCA Records, available now for pre-order HERE.

The song begins soft with a piano and Kesha’s lush vocals before Big Freedia commands “Let’s go!” and a club-ready beat drops while Kesha unfurls fun-loving bars about embracing life’s wild moments. Co-written with Wrabel, Sean Douglas and Stint and produced by Stint and Omega, “Raising Hell” is a raucous celebration of the artist’s trademark IDGAF nature. As Kesha says during the chorus, “Mama raised me well, but I don’t wanna go to heaven without raising hell.”

Watch the video for “Raising Hell” (directed by Luke Gilford), where Kesha plays a televangelist converted to the playful church of partying HERE.

Following the monumental success of her GRAMMY-nominated album ‘Rainbow’, the release of ‘High Road’ finds an artist on a joyful musical journey of self-discovery. For ‘High Road’, Kesha enlisted an eclectic roster of collaborators/songwriters/producers including John Hill, Dan Reynolds, Stuart Crichton, Jeff Bhasker, Drew Pearson, Brian Wilson, Sturgill Simpson, Nate Ruess, Justin Tranter, Stint, Wrabel, and Pebe Sebert among others.

The emotional and stylistic range found on the album is a blend of heavenly highs and emotional depths. Kesha’s swagger is front & center, paired with brilliant kiss-off one-liners, dancefloor grooves, and reminders to pay the haters no mind. Frisky, rap-based tracks show-off her skills as a lyrical spitfire, while elsewhere on the album a folkier side emerges. With a dream-pop ode to a best friendship, a reflective ballad about growing up without a father, and plenty of lust and laughter, ‘High Road’ traverses the emotional spectrum.

Watch the album trailer for ‘High Road’ via Rolling Stone HERE.

It’s been an incredible two years since Kesha returned to the charts in 2017 with her critically acclaimed #1 album ‘Rainbow’ which earned the singer/songwriter her first GRAMMY nominations and was called “an artistic feat” by Entertainment Weekly and “the best music of her career” by Rolling Stone.

The singer/songwriter was also named one of Time Magazine’s Time 100, she released a behind-the-scenes Webby-winning documentary ‘Rainbow – The Film’ on Apple Music, performed “Praying” at the 2018 GRAMMYs which Vanity Fair called “the night’s most powerful performance”, set sail on her own festival cruise (“Kesha’s Weird & Wonderful Rainbow Ride”), headlined Dan Reynolds’ LoveLoud Festival, collaborated with Macklemore (“Good Old Days”) and The Struts (“Body Talks”), and contributed to the soundtracks for On the Basis of Sex (“Here Comes The Change”) and The Angry Birds Movie 2 (“Best Day”).

Kesha has sold more than 14 million total album equivalents worldwide, has approximately 6.9 billion audio streams and 1.7 billion video streams worldwide, and has had 9 Top 10 hits on The Billboard Hot 100, including four #1 singles at Top 40 Radio – “TiK ToK,” “Your Love Is My Drug,” “Die Young,” and “Timber.”

Named after the legendary Spanish bullfighter, the track was written in the band’s practise space & quickly became known as ‘the big one’, before becoming ‘Big Juan’ and eventually, following a little research into famous Juans ‘Juan Belmonte’ after one of the most iconic matadors that ever lived.

Speaking of the track Jack said ‘Juan Belmonte is vibe in itself. With a modern take on our early Matador EP demos there is a slight progression and risk we are keen to showcase. It’s entirely up to yourself whether you dance or sulk to this track’.
