NATHAN DAWE & BEBE REXHA  CONNECT ON NEW SINGLE

‘HEART STILL BEATING’

LISTEN HERE

Following the UK Top 10, and Irish Top 20 success of summer anthem ‘0800 HEAVEN’ alongside Joel Corry & Ella Henderson, BRIT-nominated DJ/producer Nathan Dawe is back with new single, ‘Heart Still Beating’ – a first ever collaboration with multiplatinum hitmaker, Bebe Rexha.

 

Listen to ‘Heart Still Beating’ HERE.

 

Recorded with Bebe after Nathan headed to Los Angeles for the first time earlier this month, ‘Heart Still Beating’ forms his debut transatlantic link-up and taps a bright, infectious, up-tempo electronic sound that Nathan is starting to make all his own. Punctuated by Bebe’s signature powerful vocals, this post break-up anthem lands as another slice of punchy, relatable, heart-full dance music.

 

“I’m so excited for this record to be released”, says Nathan. “If anyone’s followed my stories recently then they’ll see that the whole process came together in a really organic way, and working with a superstar like Bebe was incredible.”

 

The release of ‘Heart Still Beating’ crowns another landmark year for Nathan Dawe. In 2023 alone, he’s already scored his third UK Top 10 single in the form of ‘0800 HEAVEN’ – a record that spent 13 weeks inside the UK Top 40 – held down his third consecutive summer residency at Ibiza Rocks and presided over the growth of both his hometown restaurant, Isobel’s in Burton-On-Trent, and a debut summer season at IKON; the Zante bar and nightclub he opened back in June.

‘Heart Still Beating’ also toasts another banner year for Bebe Rexha. The GRAMMY® nominated songstress is the only artist to spend over 50 weeks at #1 on both Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Hot Country Songs charts. Now boasting an extraordinary 17.8 billion global streams across her catalogue, Bebe released her self-titled third studio album in April and featured as one. Of Rolling Stone’s “Best Albums of 2023 So Far.” The record features featuring standout collaborations with Snoop Dogg & Dolly Parton, as well as 2022 UK #1, GRAMMY-nominated single and global mega-hit, ‘I’m Good (Blue)’ with David Guetta. She has also performed extensively throughout the year with her ‘Best F’N Night Of My Life’ World Tour traversing the US, Europe, Asia and Australia, where she plays three upcoming dates in November.

GREEN DAY RELEASE  “THE AMERICAN DREAM IS KILLING ME”

OUT NOW – LISTEN HERE

FIRST SINGLE AND OPENING TRACK FROM THE ICONIC ROCK BAND’S NEW ALBUM ‘SAVIORS’ OUT JANUARY 19, 2024

NEW ALBUM CO-PRODUCED BY ‘DOOKIE’ AND ‘AMERICAN IDIOT’ PRODUCER ROB CAVALLO

October 24, 2023 (Los Angeles, CA) – Global rock superstars Green Day – Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool – have returned with a fiery call to action on “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” the first single and opening track from the group’s 14^th studio album Saviors, releasing January 19^th, 2024 via Reprise/Warner Records – pre-order HERE. The band debuted “The American Dream Is Killing Me” and “Look Ma, No Brains!” off the new album live last weekend during their triumphant and electrifying Las Vegas, NV, takeover, consisting of a sold-out surprise show at the 800 capacity Fremont and back-to-back headlining performances at When We Were Young Festival.  Listen to “The American Dream is Killing Me” and watch the accompanying music video, directed by Brendan Walter and Ryan Baxley, HERE.   There will also be several exclusive vinyl versions of Saviors available including neon pink with neon green splatter, and black ice with hot pink splatter, with most in very limited supply and pressed only once.

“The American Dream Is Killing Me” was one of the last tracks written and recorded by Green Day for Saviors. “As soon we cut it, we said, `Okay, that’s going first,’” says Billie Joe Armstrong who describes the new song as “a look at the way the traditional American Dream doesn’t work for a lot of people — in fact, it’s hurting a lot of people.”

Recorded in London and Los Angeles, Saviors is the latest powerful collaboration between Green Day and Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo, whose notable previous work with Green Day includes two of the band’s most iconic albums, 1994’s Dookie and 2004’s American Idiot. The record comes just ahead of Dookie’s 30th anniversary – celebrations have already begun with the release of a massive deluxe edition of the album and a surprise show in Las Vegas  where the band performed Dookie from front to back to a sold-out crowd of superfans.

Alongside the track the band has unveiled a film noir inspired black and white music video featuring Green Day in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.  The killer video was directed by Brendan Walter and Ryan Baxley and shot in Los Angeles.

Green Day will also be performing this Thursday, October 26 as part of Amazon Music Live’s concert series, and on November 19, the band is heading up north to headline the Twisted Tea Grey Cup Halftime Show for the 110th Grey Cup at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario.

Stay tuned for so much more!

PINKPANTHERESS  ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM OUT 10TH NOVEMBER 2023

Heaven knows

PRE-ORDER HERE

PINKPANTHERESS ANNOUNCES CAPABLE OF LOVE TOUR WITH DATES IN UK, IRELAND & EUROPE TOUR 

PLAYING DUBLIN’S 3OLYMPIA THEATRE ON FEBRUARY 20^TH

RELEASES LATEST SINGLE ‘Capable of love’

LISTEN HERE

PinkPantheress’ debut album Heaven knows, is out November 10th via Warner Records UK. To celebrate the project’s announcement, PinkPantheress shares ‘Capable of love’ and UK and European Tour dates.

Following on from her critically acclaimed mixtape to hell with it, the debut album reveals PinkPantheress’ inner self-reflection as she explores various types of relationships, including romantic, parasocial, materialistic pursuits, grief, and finding contentment within loneliness. Produced and written by PinkPantheress, the 13-track project was created alongside previous and new collaborators including Greg Kurstin, Mura Masa, Danny L Harle, Count Baldor, Phil, Cash Cobain and more. The product of PinkPantheress and these collective minds working together is an album that exhibits a new emotional depth from the musician’s songwriting paired with her saccharine vocals and earworm production.

Speaking on the album, PinkPantheress explains “The record is about grief for a loss but being at peace with yourself in your aloneness. Journeying from hell into purgatory, but I’m ok with being there”

Credit: Aidan Zamiri

Taken from her debut album, ‘Capable of love’ combines the singer’s DNB roots whilst introducing PinkPantheress’ sonic innovation that will be displayed on Heaven knows. ‘Capable of love’ is the second offering from PinkPantheress’ debut album following the well-received ‘Mosquito’. Directed by Aidan Zamiri, the ‘Capable of love’ music video plays on the idea of endless searching as we see PinkPantheress wander through an empty field baggage in hand until she reaches The Unknown. Through multiple tests against The Unknown, we see PinkPantheress make her way through to a hallway filled with supposed answers to impossible questions. As she reaches the end of the hallway she sees a door with ‘Heaven Knows’ written on the front, this is what she has been searching for.

Speaking on ‘Capable of love’, PinkPantheress says “i am more than amazed and thrilled i can release probably the most anticipated fan-favourite of all my tracks. this song is moving into a genre i’ve always wanted to try and i’m happy to start here”

PinkPantheress has today announced ‘Capable of love tour’ which will include dates in UK, Ireland and Europe. The UK and Ireland leg of the ‘Capable of love tour’ will kick off on 20th February 2024 in Dublin’s 3Olympia, stopping in Manchester before making its way to end in London with a show at the iconic Alexandra Palace.

PARAMORE OPEN FOR TAYLOR SWIFT IN IRELAND NEXT YEAR

Today, Paramore have dropped a surprise remix album titled Re: This Is Why. The album features reimagined versions of tracks from their latest studio album, This Is Why, released earlier this year. The album has contributions by indie darlings Bartees Strange, Claud and Wet Leg; Paramore touring partners Foals, The Linda Lindas and Remi Wolf; jazz geniuses DOMi & JD Beck and alternative electronic wizards Panda Bear, Romy & Zane Lowe. The album also includes Paramore’s demo of the album track “Sanity.” Listen to Re: This Is Why HERE. 

Hayley Williams on Re: This Is Why

We’ve long wanted to recognize the connection we have with some of the artists who’ve influenced us as a band and/or who have cited our band as an influence. Some of the songs have been remixed sort of classically, while others were reworked or rewritten. It’s incredible to hear all our worlds colliding. 

 

We sent ‘This Is Why’ – the record – out into the world early this year, with all its messages of disdain, distrust, and sobering self-examination. 

 

This is the Reply.

 

Hayley Williams sat down with Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show last night.

When Paramore revealed they were recording together in January 2022 the response from music fans around the world was immediate and celebratory. In the time since the Grammy-winning, RIAA-certified multi-Platinum band released their last album, After Laughter  – and Hayley Williams unveiled two lauded solo albums – Paramore have become more popular than ever.  Over the last few years, Paramore’s influence and popularity has snowballed, as the age of streaming organically propelled them into a position as one of the world’s biggest, most culturally compelling rock bands. For the band, who formed as teenagers in Tennessee, their 20-year trajectory has seen them grow from youthful outsiders to bone-fide pop culture icons, permeating the musical landscape by inspiring a new generation of musical talent. 

 

This Is Why is the band’s most critically lauded release to date and the album’s title track gave them their first #1 at Alternative Radio in the US and was voted “Hottest Record Of The Year” by listeners to BBC Radio One in the UK.The record scored numerous top 10 positions around the world including #1’s in both Australia and the UK and debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. This Is Why has been named one of the best albums of 2023 so far by numerous media outlets including Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, and more. The single, “Running Out Of Time” currently sits in the Alternative Top 20.

Paramore will continue to tour in support of their long-awaited return album, including tour dates in New Zealand and Australia next month. Paramore will join Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour as the opener for all 48 dates of the 2024 European leg of the tour. The European leg kicks off in Paris on May 9th and wraps in London on August 17th at Wembley Stadium, one of six nights the tour will spend at the legendary venue. Paramore opened for Taylor Swift on the very first two shows of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour in Glendale, AZ in March of this year.

Tickets for Paramore

 

Praise for Paramore:

 

“One of the most influential bands of their generation” – The Guardian

 

“a record that not only evolves, but yet again reinvents the sound of Paramore” – Upset

 

“Paramore remain as vital as ever” – Rolling Stone UK

 

“…in their sixth studio album, “This Is Why,” they get angrier, pricklier and funkier, all the while merging the band’s past and future, levitating way beyond their icon status to something else entirely.” – Associated Press

 

“…it’s working as a power trio here: a singer, drummer and guitarist barreling ahead at the most thrilling heights of their musicianship” – NPR 

 

“This Is Why is Paramore’s excellent foray into post-punk” – Rolling Stone

 

“a band who can read the zeitgeist before it truly hits” – Dork

 

“This Is Why is their most biting, fearless, and aggressive work to date, as Paramore channel their rage into a tenacious call for political action and self-reflection… the result is a tight, 10-track effort that blends the band’s past eras—from the teen angst of RIOT! all the way to the quiet confidence of Williams’ 2020 solo LP Petals for Armor—and marries nostalgia with the starkness of our 2023 lives.”  – The Daily Beast

 

“it’s Williams’s most unvarnished vocal performance in nearly a decade.” – New Yorker

 

“a fearless triumph” – Rock Sound

 

“An outstanding return” – Clash

 

“another bold yet sonically grounded triumph: while the production recalls the art-rock idiosyncrasies of After Laughter, Hayley Williams sneers, spins and strikes with the tenacity of her Riot! Work.” – Billboard

 

“a thrilling array of rock earworms” – Daily Star

 

“Paramore’s consistently innovative, catchy songwriting and Williams’ powerhouse vocals never left the chat.” – Stereogum

 

“one of the most influential alternative rock bands of their generation” – The Face 

 

“It’s unmistakable musical growth” – Pollstar 

 

“…transcended its pop punk beginnings to produce a genre-defying body of work that has defied the patriarchal penchant of alternative music and paved a new path for artists” –BRICKS 

 

“they’re unapologetically trying something new instead with the raw, political, and ultimately cathartic songs.” –Entertainment Weekly

 

“…with This Is Why, Paramore continues to erase any remnants of “scene” labels, continuing their ascension as one of the most dominant pop-rock acts on this defective planet.” – SPIN

 

“Paramore at their creative, fluid best” – The Forty Five

 

“Williams’ voice is the highlight of any Paramore record, and here she is in the form of her life.” – Crack

AUTUMN VARIATIONS HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY AARON DESSNER

WATCH ED’S ALL-NEW LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO OF ‘AMERICAN TOWN’
WATCH HERE

Announced last month, Ed Sheeran said of Autumn Variations –“Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes. After the heat of the summer, everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head or imploded.”  “When I went through a difficult time at the start of last year, writing songs helped me understand my feelings and come to terms with what was going on, and when I learned about my friend’s different situations, I wrote songs, some from their perspectives, some from mine, to capture how they and I viewed the world at that time. There were highs of falling in love and new friendships among lows of heartbreak, depression, loneliness and confusion.”“My dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed ‘Enigma Variations’, where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends. This is what inspired me to make this album. When I recorded Subtract with Aaron Dessner, we clicked immediately. We wrote and recorded non-stop and this album was born out of that partnership. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”

Ed Sheeran will play two sold out shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall on the 18^th and 19^th November. Set to perform his upcoming album ‘Autumn Variations’ in full on both nights – where Ed will also be accompanied by a live band and string section – it will be the only remaining chance to see him perform in the UK this year.

HXNEY’S BRAND-NEW SINGLE “HAPPY ENDING” OUT NOW!

LISTEN/STREAM HERE

Singer HXNEY has released her latest single “Happy Ending” available now via Diffusion Lab on all DSPs and streaming services HERE.

Lyrically, the song “is a reminder to us all that life comes with ups and downs and there is no reward without sacrifice even in love.”

The singer explains “The most rewarding love story will have some parts of it that aren’t so ideal but that’s just life. This means something to me because it shifts my perspective of the idea of perfectionism I’ve had for so long and now understanding life is what we make of it.”

She hopes this track reminds people that “We have to cherish the good with the bad and we’ll find our Joy”

Speaking about the creative process for this song, HXNEY explains that “The writing process for this song was unique because me and my co-writer ‘Solow the Astronaut’ played a game where he came up with a line then it became my turn to write the next line, and we went back and forth like that until we had all the lyrics written and then we worked on the melodies after. We ended up with a perfectly written song that has a lot of sentimental references.

The song is produced by Chris Bubenzer (Benza) and the production process was honestly seamless for this song, we just vibed out the whole time because we were so obsessed with this song.”

“Happy Ending” is out now on Diffusion Lab.  Listen / Stream HERE
