HAYLEY WILLIAMS UNVEILS SOLO SINGLE & VIDEO FOR “SIMMER”

GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING PARAMORE SINGER TO RELEASE DEBUT SOLO ALBUM

“PETALS FOR ARMOR” SET TO ARRIVE ON FRIDAY, MAY 8TH

Hayley Williams has announced today’s premiere of “Simmer,” the first single from the GRAMMY® award-winning Paramore singer’s hugely anticipated debut solo album. The smoldering track is available now via Atlantic Records at all DSPs and streaming services; an equally fiery official video – directed by Warren Fu (Paramore, The 1975, The Strokes)  – is streaming now via the official Hayley Williams YouTube channel

Produced by Taylor York, lead collaborator in the GRAMMY® award-winning Paramore, “Simmer” heralds Williams’ upcoming debut solo album, “PETALS FOR ARMOR,” due May 8th.

“I’m so ready and so incredibly humbled to get to share this project,” says Williams. “Making it was a scary, empowering experience. Some of my proudest moments as a lyricist happened while writing ‘PETALS FOR ARMOR.’ And I was able to get my hands a little dirtier than usual when it came to instrumentation. I’m in a band with my favorite musicians so I never really feel the need to step into a role as a player when it comes to Paramore records. This project, however, benefited from a little bit of musical naïveté and rawness and so I experimented quite a bit more. I made this with some of the closest people to me. Their respective talents really shine bright throughout the record. I like to think we all make each other better and the result is something that sounds and FEELS exactly as I’d hoped it would. Now that it’s time to put it all out there, I can finally exhale. I’m excited to let people in to experience a different side of myself that I’ve only very recently become familiar with.”

“Simmer” marks Hayley Williams’ first new music release since Paramore’s chart-topping 2017 album, “AFTER LAUGHTER.” Highlighted by the gold certified “Hard Times,” and singles “Told You So,” “Fake Happy,” and “Rose-Coloured Boy,” the LP debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Top Alternative Albums” chart upon its May 2017 release while also arriving on the overall SoundScan/Billboard 200 at #6 – Paramore’s third consecutive top 10 chart debut. Along with its popular success, “AFTER LAUGHTER” ultimately proved one of the year’s most critically applauded releases, with The Fader, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR, Billboard, and many more ranking it among their “Best of 2017” coverage.

Paramore has accomplished a truly remarkable run of RIAA certified albums and singles since coming together in Nashville in 2004, from 2005’s gold certified debut, “ALL WE KNOW IS FALLING” featuring the gold certified single “Pressure,” and 2007’s 2x platinum certified breakthrough, “RIOT!” (with its 4x platinum-certified hit, “Misery Business,” as well as the platinum certified singles “crushcrushcrush” and “That’s What You Get”) to 2008’s worldwide 2x platinum “Decode” (from Chop Shop/Atlantic’s chart-topping “TWILIGHT – ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK”) and 2009’s platinum certified “brand new eyes” with its GRAMMY®-nominated smash, the 2x platinum “The Only Exception” and the gold certified “Ignorance.”

The band’s RIAA platinum certified fourth album, simply entitled “PARAMORE,” made a chart-busting debut atop the SoundScan/Billboard 200 upon its April 2013 release – Paramore’s first #1 album to date. Named the year’s “Best Rock Album” by Entertainment Weekly, “PARAMORE” showcased a string of singles, including 2x RIAA platinum certified hit, the top 10 “Still Into You,” and the #1 3x platinum hit, “Ain’t It Fun.” The latter track proved Paramore’s biggest single to date, ascending to #1 at Hot AC and Rock radio outlets nationwide, #2 at Top 40, as well as to the top 10 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” – the band’s first ever top 10 hit on the overall chart and their highest peaking song thus far.  “Ain’t It Fun” saw Paramore taking home their first-ever GRAMMY® Award, earning the “Best Rock Song” trophy at the 57th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. In addition, Williams was named that year as the first winner of Billboard’s “Trailblazer Award,” honouring her as a standout female artist who breaks from convention to make a unique mark and pave the way for new talent.

Long regarded as an exhilarating live act, Paramore has spent much of the past decade-plus on the road, including countless sold out world tours and show-stealing festival sets around the globe.

Williams is also an accomplished entrepreneur, co-founding the vegan, cruelty-free hair colour brand, Good Dye Young.

Beloved for their descriptive storytelling, heartfelt lyrics, and powerful live performances, Amble has rapidly become one of the most exciting new voices in the modern folk revival. With “Schoolyard Days,” the lads offer a captivating glimpse into their highly-anticipated debut album, Reverie, with its lithely strummed acoustic guitar and booming vocals that capture the longing for days gone by. Like the forthcoming 14-track project – which features fan-adored songs like “Lonely Island” and “Mary’s Pub” plus 8 new tracks – it was recorded live, often in only a take or two, perfectly encapsulating their raw energy and authentic spirit. Lead vocalist Robbie Cunningham explains, “If you listen to Reverie, you’re truly hearing who we are.”

The trio’s captivating energy has resonated with fans worldwide, culminating in a completely sold-out 2025 headline tour across the UK, Europe, Australia, Canada, and the US. This summer, Amble will also notably support Hozier in legendary stadiums and arenas across North America, including two nights at Fenway Park this June. They also play four sold-out home shows across Ireland including King John’s Castle in Limerick June 19th, Trinity Summer Series in Dublin July 5th, The Big Top in Galway June 16th and The Marquee in Cork 17th.  Next week, Amble travels down under for the Australian leg of their tour, which includes a date at ‘Misneach Festival’ on March 16th in Sydney – Dermot Kennedy’s first global St. Patrick’s Day Festival. See a full list of upcoming shows below.

Stay tuned for much more from Amble in 2025.

ABOUT AMBLE

Channeling the power of tried-and-true friendship and tapping into the serenity of the surrounding countryside, Irish trio Amble harness a rare magic threaded into the fabric of their novelistic folk. The group—Robbie Cunningham (lead vocals/guitar), Ross McNerney (mandolin), and Oisin McCaffrey (guitar/vocals)—have unassumingly gone from quitting their day jobs in rural Western Ireland to the doorstep of an international breakthrough buoyed by over 100 million streams and sold-out shows around the world. After just one gig together, they unlocked uncanny creative interplay with each member penning songs and pouring life experience into the lyrics. Amble fueled buzz with breakouts “Mariner Boy” and “Lonely Island,” but life changed when the band received a call from Warner Records with an offer. Signing to the label in 2024, the band had an unimaginable past year that spawned their latest EP The Commons  and a captivating live presence, as they canvased North America and Europe with packed houses on both sides of the Atlantic. Their relatability, intimate storytelling, and authenticity marry seamlessly with no-frills acoustic instrumentation, serene soundscapes, and heavenly natural harmonies. Now, this spirit courses through their 2025 full-length debut LP, Reverie [Warner Records], and much more to come.

IRISH TRIO CHASING ABBEY RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE ‘TAKE ME TO THE WATER’ WITH HARLEE

IRISH TRIO CHASING ABBEY RETURN

WITH NEW SINGLE  ‘TAKE ME TO THE WATER’ WITH HARLEE

OUT NOW

Chasing Abbey X HARLEE Take Me To The Water
Chasing Abbey X HARLEE Take Me To The Water

Friday 7th March 2025, Irish-trio Chasing Abbey have returned with their first single of 2025 ‘Take Me To The Water’ with HARLEE, out now. LISTEN/STREAM HERE

Speaking about their new chapter, Chasing Abbey say the instinctive movement from trad-house to country-dance “feels like a very natural progression” for them. They say “blending genres has always been a core artistic belief of ours and we’re so excited for the next chapter of CA: Get ready for lots of country dance! We collaborated with UK artist Harlee on this one and there’s nothing like a country duet!”

This exciting new chapter for the Irish-trio, sees them teaming up with HARLEE – an English singer-songwriter, best-known for her vocals on Joel Corry’s hit single ‘Lonely’ which dominated the charts in 2020, and further catapulted him into the mainstream of dance music. Reflecting on the opportunity to work together, Chasing Abbey says HARLEE “brought the perfect energy and feeling to the song.”

Speaking about featuring with Chasing Abbey, HARLEE reveals that she jumped at the opportunity. “As soon as I heard ‘Take Me To The Water’ I instantly felt connected to the song. Before now, I’ve co-written every single song I’ve been a part of, so this is something different for me. I’ve also never done a duet until now. Dance music is what propelled me into the music industry, and I think it’ll always be a part of my journey.”

Previously released singles ‘Oh My Johnny (Banks Of The Roses)’ and ‘Learning To Dance (Lanigan’s Ball)’ saw the trio returning to their roots, having grown up as trad musicians. Following the major success of the aforementioned singles in 2023, the trio toured Australia and took some time out to experiment in the studio  with new sounds and genres. This led to the natural progression to their new single ‘Take Me To The Water’ available everywhere now.

February 27, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, Grammy-nominated global pop sensation Benson Boone returns with his new single “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else.” Listen HERE via Night Street Records/Warner Records.

“Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else” marks the beginning of a new era for Boone, serving as his first release of the year. It arrives on the heels of his show-stopping performance of smash hit “Beautiful Things” at the 67th annual Grammy Awards earlier this month, where he was nominated for Best New Artist.

The chart-conquering track was the #1 most streamed song in the world last year, earning Boone the IFPI Global Single Award for 2024. Now certified 5x Platinum, “Beautiful Things” has garnered nearly 3.5 billion streams since its release last year. Featured on his acclaimed, Platinum certified debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, the viral smash logged an impressive 7 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, hit #1 at Top 40 and Hot AC radio, and vaulted to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also earned Boone two Billboard Music Awards for Top Billboard Global 200 Song and Top Billboard Global (Excl. US) Song.

Fireworks & Rollerblades also includes the Platinum certified hit “Slow It Down” and fan-favorites “Cry,” “What Do You Want,” and “Pretty Slowly.”

2024 was a record year for Benson. In addition to earning him his first Grammy Award nomination, he performed at the MTV Video Music Awards, where he won Best Alternative and received nominations for Best New Artist, Song of Summer and PUSH Performance of the Year. His impact has soared across the globe—last year also saw him perform at the MTV EMAs, the NRJ Awards, and the Los40 Awards, taking home trophies at every stop.

In June, he opened for Taylor Swift’s ERAS Tour in London at Wembley stadium, following a performance with Lana Del Rey at Hangout Festival in May. He also embarked on his fully sold-out Fireworks & Rollerblades Tour, playing shows across the globe.

With the release of “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else,” upcoming performances at landmark festivals like Coachella and Governors Ball, and more new music on the way, Boone is on track for a record year in 2025.

POP-COUNTRY SENSATION DASHA RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE “NOT AT THIS PARTY”

POP-COUNTRY SENSATION DASHA RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE “NOT AT THIS PARTY”

LISTEN HERE | WATCH HERE

“Current country it girl”

BILLBOARD

“Dasha has all but solidified her position at the forefront of the next generation of country hitmakers”

HOLLER

“Dasha has emerged as a name to watch.”

UPROXX

Los Angeles, CA (February 28, 2025) – Making a bold return today, RIAA Platinum certified pop-country sensation, Dasha, kickstarts her sophomore country project with a new single entitled “Not At This Party” out now via Warner Records. Listen to “Not At This Party” co-written by Ashley Gorley (Chris Stapleton, Kelsea Ballerini) and Ben Johnson (Charlie Puth, Dierks Bently) HERE and watch the Aerin Moreno (Tate McRae, Tyla) directed music video.

“‘Not At This Party’ was a title I’d been carrying around for a while,” Dasha shares. “It’s about that universal experience of being out with friends, but mentally checked out. When I wrote it with Ashley Gorley and Ben Johnson, I was going through something with a guy, and the song just flowed. We really tried to capture that mix of distraction and guilt in the song.”

Earlier today, the “Not At This Party” music video debuted on CMT, MTV and Paramount’s Times Square Billboard. It is now in rotation across CMT Channels, MTV Live, mtvU and MTV’s Biggest Pop.

In 2024, the singer landed coveted spots at country music meccas, Stagecoach, Austin City Limits, CMT Awards and CMA Fest. Her year didn’t stop there, though. She sold-out her first global headlining tour, Dashville USA, and performed on two of the biggest televised broadcasts of the year – Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve. The song went on to become one of the most-streamed country songs in 2024 and won the People’s Choice Country Awards for Female Song.

“This past year I was blown away by how many little girls were riding the rails at my shows,” Dasha says. “No one connects with perfection. For me, navigating the highs and lows of this industry means accepting that I’m going to make mistakes. This journey isn’t always going to be smooth, and the bumps along the way make for a far more interesting ride.”

Next up, she embarks on tour with Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett and Dylan Scott and is set to return to Stagecoach Music Festival in April. A full routing can be found below.

“One of the most captivating artists on all of TikTok”

Sweety High

Los Angeles, CA (February 21, 2025) – Buzzing singer, songwriter, and vocal powerhouse Alex Sampson returns with a seismically catchy brand new single entitled “Used To You” out today via Warner Records – listen HERE.

“‘Used To You’ is one of the first songs I wrote when I got back into the studio following America’s Got Talent. It’s one of my all time favorites! The track is super fun to perform live and it’s got such a good energy to it. I hope ‘Used To You’ puts a smile on everyone’s face while they listen,” says Alex Sampson.

The track seamlessly integrates live guitar and head-nodding percussion into a dynamic electronic soundscape. This unpredictable backdrop perfectly complements a knockout performance from Alex, who showcases the breadth of his jaw-dropping range once again. He alternates between vulnerable verses and vital choruses uplifted by a skyscraper-sized high register. He admits, “I’ll never get used to you,” continuing, “It’s always something new when it comes to you.”

Alex recently wrapped a string of North American tour dates, supporting Jamie Miller. Next month, he will join Jamie Miller on his European tour. See full list of dates and purchase tickets here.

GRAMMY WINNING ICON BURNA BOY SHARES SCORCHING NEW SINGLE

“UPDATE”

 
SET TO RELEASE EIGHTH STUDIO ALBUM NO SIGN OF WEAKNESS THIS SUMMER
 
MAKES HISTORY AS FIRST-EVER COVER STAR OF BILLBOARD FRANCE

(New York, NY – February 19, 2025) – GRAMMY® Award-winning icon Burna Boy infuses Afrobeats with a rush of energy on his head-nodding and hypnotic new single “Update” out now via Spaceship/Bad Habit/Atlantic Records. It brings the world one step closer to the arrival of his mega-anticipated eighth studio album and what promises to be the biggest African music event of 2025, No Sign of Weakness, coming this summer.

Produced by P2J (Beyoncé, Tems) and built around a sample of the iconic club classic “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)” by Soul II Soul featuring Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra, the track teems with anthemic dancefloor-ready energy. The shuffling beat and organic drums kindle a simmering groove, and Burna Boy’s fluid delivery echoes with charisma and swagger. Between the instantly recognizable chant, he delivers his own party-ready refrain perfect for the 21st century and beyond. The official visual, helmed by UAX, brings the poignant concept of No Sign of Weakness to life through a series of striking vignettes where Burna Boy rises above his naysayers.

Burna Boy kicked off 2025 with a bang and shows no signs of slowing down. In January, the multiplatinum superstar was nominated for World Artist of the Year at the 2025 iHeart Radio Music Awards. On April 18, 2025, Burna is set to headline at the Stade de France, the largest venue in France – marking a major milestone in his musical career. Most recently, he was crowned the first-ever cover star of Billboard France – read his illuminating cover story HERE.

December 2024 saw the release of his triumphant track “Bundle By Bundle” which has amassed over 15 million Spotify streams and 7 million YouTube views on its music video. Inciting tastemaker applause, Billboard marveled at how, “‘Bundle by Bundle’ bottles the energy of the late-night parties in his native Nigeria during the holidays.” UPROXX declared it “a new musical era,” and NME christened it “energetic, party-inspired.” Produced by award-winning hitmaker Telz, “Bundle By Bundle” will also be featured on album No Sign of Weakness. Listen to “Bundle By Bundle” HERE.

The release capped off another monumental year for the global giant. TIME touted him on its coveted “The 100 Most Influential People of 2024,” going on to profess, “He is history in the making. Now a whole generation of young people from the continent is looking up to him.” Expanding his impact, he joined forces with Coldplay on “We Pray” featuring Little Simz, Elyanna and Tini from Moon Music, which earned a #1 debut on the Billboard 200 chart. He delivered a performance at Glastonbury that resonated around the world – rated “4 stars” by The Guardian who declared, “Burna is electrifying.” He headlined the 16-city  I Told Them…Tour, selling out arenas and stadiums across North America. The superstar earned a nomination for Top African Artist at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards and his smash hit “Higher” was nominated for Best African Music Performance at the 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards.

In addition, “Ordinary” is lighting up charts all over the world with top 10 debuts on official singles charts in Norway (#2), the UK (#7), and Ireland (#9) while also charting on Spotify in 24 markets, including #1 in Norway and #55 globally.

Recently named Billboard’s January “Chartbreaker” while also being selected to both Amazon Music and TIDAL’s 2025 Artists To Watch, Warren is currently poised to embark on his biggest headline tour to date. Now almost entirely sold out with a number of venues upgraded to accommodate popular demand, the Cheaper Than Therapy Global Tour will visit cities across Europe and North America beginning February 27 in Antwerp, Belgium followed by eagerly awaited stops in France, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. North American dates will get underway April 24 at Dallas, TX’s The Echo Lounge & Music Hall and then travel the US and Canada through early June.

“Ordinary” follows a busy 2024 that was anything but – a breakthrough year for Warren that saw him earn his first Billboard “Hot 100” hit with “Burning Down,” available everywhere HERE. Now boasting over 150M worldwide streams, the track proved a stratospheric sensation, rising to the top 20 at pop radio outlets nationwide while also earning 2x Gold certification in Canada and Ireland. Warren then reignited “Burning Down” with an additional new version that sees him joined by Multi-Platinum, GRAMMY® Award-nominated global superstar Joe Jonas, streaming HERE. The collaboration is accompanied by an official music video as well as an in-studio performance video, now with over 4.5M combined views at Warren’s hugely popular official YouTube channel.

Last year also saw the arrival of Warren’s acclaimed full-length debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), available now via Atlantic Records HERE. In addition to “Burning Down,” the album is highlighted by Warren’s biggest global success to date, “Carry You Home,” currently boasting over 245M worldwide streams having impacting at US Top 40 and Hot AC radio outlets nationwide and reaching on 15 Spotify charts in markets across Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The emotionally charged anthem – which at one point drew over 1M daily global Spotify streams – was also certified both Gold in Australia and Silver in the UK. A touching official music video centered around Warren performing at a young couple’s wedding and accompanied by beautiful first dance choreography has earned more than 27M views via YouTube HERE. In addition, Warren recently collaborated with chart-topping British artist Ella Henderson for “Carry You Home (Feat. Ella Henderson),” a very special version of the track which quickly proved an equivalent success with the original iteration added to BBC Radio 1 and collaboration with Henderson added to BBC Radio 2.

Now boasting nearly 1B total career streams along with 75M views and 11.4M total engagements across all TikTok sounds, Warren’s milestone year was further highlighted by his hugely successful debut world headline tour. The completely sold-out You’ll Be Alright, Kid Global Tour saw Warren performing to packed houses across Europe – as well as his first-ever festival performance, a show-stopping set at Munich, Germany’s star-studded SUPERBLOOM – and North America, with unprecedented popular demand causing a number of dates to be upgraded to larger venues. The blockbuster run wrapped up with a sold-out tour finale at West Hollywood, CA’s world famous Troubadour.

Warren – who has over 20M monthly listeners on Spotify – kicked off his breakthrough year both personally and creatively with the international smash hit single, “Before You Leave Me. Inspired by his previously long distance relationship with Annon, the song debuted on Spotify’s Viral 50, ultimately earning over 200M global streams and Gold certification in both Australia and the Netherlands. “Before You Leave Me” is accompanied by a spectacularly choreographed official music video which has garnered over 9.7M views thus far HERE.

Named to both PEOPLE’s list of “Talented Emerging Artists Making Their Mark” and Sirius XM’s Artist Accelerator Program, Warren is among the most followed Gen Z celebrities on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. From being homeless and sleeping in friends’ cars to his current rise to stardom as a multi-talented musician, Warren has shared the intimate details of his life with the world for over a decade, building an online community of over 26M cumulative followers. Now known for his vulnerable pop melodies, passionate vocals, and lyrical candor, Warren has won over fans with a series of deeply personal singles.

LEAD SINGLE ‘DON’T PANIC’

LISTEN HERE / WATCH VIDEO

February 14 2025 (London, UK) – Today, Anne-Marie returns with a new 2-song project Act 1: ‘If You’re Looking For A New Best Friend’.

One of the UK’s most effervescent, dynamic and successful British pop stars of recent years is back! After cryptically teasing its release on her socials, Anne-Marie boldly returns with a two song project Act 1: ‘If You’re Looking For A New Best Friend’, which delves into the themes of love for oneself, others and the universal quest for meaning.

Lead track ‘Don’t Panic’ is a raw and powerful song that delves into the chaotic reality of anxiety and inner turmoil. With haunting imagery and vulnerable lyrics, it captures the relentless whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that accompany feelings of panic. Yet, amidst the storm, Anne-Marie makes a poignant plea for calm and self-compassion.

Anne- Marie says ….”These songs are intended to be the realisation that in searching for a friend, sometimes you’re the only friend you’ll ever need. Apart from me, I can be your best friend, right!?”

TRACKLISTING:

1. Don’t Panic

2. I Don’t Like Your Boyfriend

ABOUT ANNE-MARIE: With a pop CV spanning 8 x Top 10 singles (18 x Top 40) and 3 x Top 3 albums, Anne-Marie has proved to be one of the UK’s most successful British breakthrough pop stars of recent years. A former 3 x world karate champion and West End child star-turned 10 x BRIT Award nominee, A-M’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. The singer and co-writer is behind a swarm of classic hit records including ‘Ciao Adios’, ‘Friends’, ‘2002’, ‘Don’t Play’, ‘Kiss My’, ‘Psycho’, as well as ‘Rockabye’ (with Clean Bandit). Anne-Marie released her debut album, ‘Speak Your Mind’ in 2018, subsequently ending that year as the UK’s biggest-selling debut artist: the album has now sold over two million copies globally (earning 1 x Diamond, 8 x Platinum and 7 x Gold certifications worldwide). Her second studio album, ‘Therapy’, released in 2021 peaked  number 2 in the UK; with her third studio album ‘Unhealthy’ released 2023 also peaking at number 2.
