BRAND NEW SINGLE ‘PEACHES’ OUT TODAY ON WARNER MUSIC IRELAND

LISTEN HERE

“Love it! Anthem! This should be a hit record! Great lyrics sung with authenticity!”… DAVID HOLMES

Menrva, comprise of brothers Luke and Christian Papenfus, the House Music production duo hailing from Northern Ireland. The brothers have been making waves on the House Music scene over the last few years. They are unleashing their new single “Peaches’ today. The track is themed on the Jill Scott track “Hate On Me” featuring the incredible vocals of Abby P.  The brothers knew they could reimagine this R&B modern classic with house music sensibilities and bring it to a new audience.

Though some might interpret “Peaches” as an expression of self-confidence and empowerment while evoking feelings of freedom and liberation, the brothers prefer to leave the interpretation up to the listener as essentially what they have delivered in “Peaches” finds life on the dancefloor. The brothers are from a musical family and from a young age, they embraced a symphony of instruments, nurturing a deep passion for music that would ultimately shape their unique creative styles.

Before becoming the musical powerhouse known as Menrva, Luke and Christian embarked on a diverse journey through the sonic landscape. Their musical odyssey began with forays into Hip Hop, Grime, and Drum and Bass, each genre serving as a stepping stone in their artistic evolution. However, it was the vibrant city of London that truly shaped their musical destiny. The brothers relocated to the British capital, where they would spend six transformative years. The brothers honed their craft independently at this time, both exploring many genres and roles in music as producers/writers.

In the vibrant metropolis of London, a city teeming with culture, resounding with music, and bursting with limitless creative potential, Luke and Christian discovered themselves completely engrossed in the city’s opulent musical landscape. The pulsating beats of 4/4 dance and the irresistible charm of house music served as potent catalysts, sparking a passion that would chart the trajectory of their future pursuits.

Fuelled by this newfound inspiration, Menrva came into existence, bringing with it not only the rich musical diversity cultivated throughout their journey but also the undeniable, contagious energy that London had generously infused into them.

Their duo’s journey in music has been marked by consistent support from influential platforms like Radio 1, Kiss FM, and Cool FM. Notably, their tracks have graced the airwaves and featured on Love Island, catapulting them into the spotlight. Menrva’s remixes for renowned artists such as Lennon Stella and Tom Grennan have further solidified their reputation as artists / producers. In addition, Menrva’s previous releases garnered widespread acclaim, receiving support from industry heavyweights like Steve Aoki, Tiesto, Sagala, and many more, showcasing their ability to captivate both listeners and fellow musicians alike with their unique sound.

With an unrelenting dedication to their craft, the dynamic duo has been hard at work crafting new material that is poised to make a significant impact on the music scene in the very near future. Culminating in a recent signing with Warner Music Ireland and now partnered with 67 Management. The new deal with Warner Music Ireland sees them as long-term artists, along with international plans for the DJ/Producer duo.  It’s anticipated to be a big song for the guys seeing them re-enter the market with a new team to push them internationally for the first time.

Stay tuned for what Menrva has in store, as their musical journey continues to evolve and captivate audiences worldwide.

GENRE-BLURRING ARTIST TEDDY SWIMS DROPS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THERAPY (PART 1)

LISTEN HERE

INCLUDES POWERFUL NEW BALLAD “SOME THINGS I’LL NEVER KNOW” & BILLBOARD HOT 100 HIT “LOSE CONTROL” 

PERFORMING LIVE ON THE TODAY SHOW THIS MORNING

NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF SEP 22

September 15, 2023 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims releases his highly anticipated debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). Listen HERE via Warner Records. Never one to pick a speed, the eclectic artist’s new body of work mixes pop, soul, funk, and blues to highlight his velvety rasp. Among the highlights is his new focus single “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” an intimate, gut-wrenching exploration of love and loss. Watch the video HERE.

About “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” Teddy says, “I’m the kind of person that wants to know I’ve turned over every stone and done absolutely everything I possibly could to keep someone in my life. But, sometimes you can’t control what people do or know why people do the things they do. Some relationships end without any closure and leave you with nothing but questions.”

Also included on the album is the viral sensation “Lose Control,” which recently became Teddy’s first-ever entry into the Billboard Hot 100, where it sits at #81 and climbing. To date, the track has amassed over 81 million streams and counting. Fans can watch him perform the song live on The Today Show this morning.

The album takes you on a ride with the intimate hymn “Last Communion,” followed by the rhythmically leaning “The Door,” an R&B anthem from another era. It’s clear that Teddy is being more vulnerable than ever before on I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) — which is part of a longer journey of healing. “My debut album is an honest look into my mental health journey,” Teddy says. “It is my first step towards being vulnerable about this journey and the steps I need to take to heal.”

The album follows 2022’s Sleep is Exhausting and Tough Love EPs, which capped a busy year that included playing sold-out shows around the globe and lending his powerful pipes to ILLENIUM’s “All That Really Matters,” Meghan Trainor’s “Bad For Me,” and MK & Burns’ “Better.”

On September 22, Teddy will bring I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) to fans across the country as his North American tour kicks off in Minneapolis. It’s destined to be one of the year’s hottest tickets, given Teddy‘s renowned showmanship. He brings passion and poise to every performance, and now, with his album finally landing, an exciting new chapter begins for the southern singer.

Irish alt/rock collective NewDad announce details of their debut album, Madra, set for release on 26 January 2024 through Fair Youth/Atlantic. The album news comes with the release of ‘Angel’ – the band’s grunge-fuelled album opener. Awash with spiralling guitars and a hypnotic bassline, singer/guitarist Julie Dawson finds inspiration in TV show Euphoria, as she ruminates on the destructive relationship of characters, Rue and Jules: a storyline that she herself gravitated towards.

Madra (meaning “dog” in Irish) is an 11-song, guitar-stacked visceral outing, as singer/guitarist Julie Dawson embarks on a journey of self-exploration, self-sabotage, and reflection. Soaked in dysfunction, Madra searches for solace in pain, tackling themes of bullying (‘Where I Go’), self-medication/depression (‘Madra’, ‘Let Go’), destruction (‘Change My Mind’, ‘White Ribbons’), co-dependency (‘Nosebleed’) and resistance (‘Nightmares’). The album artwork, photographed by Irish creative, Joshua Gordon, shows a broken doll that serves as a metaphor for the album’s themes of fragility and vulnerability.

The album finds NewDad reconnect with their musical roots, digging deep into the shoegaze/rock sonics that soundtracked their formative years (the band cite Pixies, The Cure and Slowdive as some of their biggest early influences), together with glimmers of indie/pop that harks back to their earlier material: ‘Waves EP’ (2021) and ‘Banshee EP’ (2022). Written in their home city of Galway, Ireland, before the band moved to London this year, and recorded at the legendry Rockfield Studios (Black Sabbath, Queen), the album has been produced by NewDad’s long-time collaborator Chris W Ryan (Just Mustard) and mixed by Alan Moulder (The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Wet Leg). Bound together by Julie’s ghostly vocal – a vessel for her weighty, introspective songwriting – Madra firmly marks NewDad as one of Ireland’s most promising debut guitar bands.

Speaking of the band’s debut, Julie says – “Madra meaning dog in Irish explores various difficult parts of the human condition and the idea of the title is that these feelings that come up are sometimes ones you can’t escape, feelings that follow you around like a dog. We had an amazing team around us who helped bring these songs to life and we’re so excited for this album to be out in the world. We hope that people connect with the songs and that Madra can be a comfort to everyone who listens.”

This week, NewDad played a sold out show at London’s The Lower Third. They will tour the UK and Ireland in February/March 2024.

SWEETLEMONDAE NEW SINGLE “GIMME A REASON”  OUT NOW!

LISTEN/STREAM HERE

Rapper Sweetlemondae has released her latest single “Gimme A Reason” available now via Diffusion Lab at all DSPs and streaming services HERE.

Lyrically, the song explains the feeling of not having your needs and expectations met in a relationship, whether it be with friends, family or a partner. Tempted to walk away, Sweetlemondae raps openly and honestly, asking for a reason to stay with that person: “Tell me you’re all in /Give me your lovin’ / I’ll stay till the morning / Just give me a reason.”  

The 23-year-old explains “This song reminds me to always say how I feel, so things can get worked through. It’s a combination of different experiences I’ve had and I’ve used them to narrate a story. I think everyone can relate to it in some sense – whether it’s a friendship, relationship or family.”

She hopes this track “reminds other people to always say how they feel so things can get worked through.”

Through her raw and authentic lyrics, Sweetlemondae expresses how she’s “Looking for a reason / Going through the seasons” highlighting the rollercoaster of emotions that goes hand in hand with relationships. “It’s never easy to tell people how you feel, especially when you know it’s gonna hurt them in some way.”

Speaking about the creative process for this song, Sweetlemondae explains that “Gimme A Reason” was “the hardest to let go of because I was obsessed with it when we first made it and then I started to not like it as much, so it’s gone through various versions of itself but when we stripped it back and started from the beginning I regained my love for the song!”

“Gimme A Reason” is out now!

LEIGH-ANNE RELEASES LATEST SINGLE ‘MY LOVE’ FEATURING AYRA STARR  WITH ACCOMPANYING MUSIC VIDEO

Today, Leigh-Anne releases the latest single ‘My Love’ featuring Nigeria’s rising star Ayra Starr with an accompanying music video via Warner Records out now.

The anemic and infectious track sees Leigh-Anne as she explores the complex truths about self-love and relationships. Leigh’s appreciation for afrobeats/afropop is seen throughout ‘My Love’ as she recruits Magicsticks (Asake) for production and tag-teams with Nigerian artist Ayra Starr. Collaborators on Leigh-Anne’s sophomore single also include PRGSHN, Khris Riddick-Tynes of The Rascals, Alex Goldblatt, Kameron Glasper and DYO.

The Meji Alabi-directed music video follows on from ‘Don’t Say Love’ as Leigh-Anne emerges from the ocean further cementing her rebirth as a solo artist. The choreography-filled music video sees the duo dance their way through the hustle and bustle of Lagos whilst appreciating Nigerian culture, friendships and love as well as shining a light on local actors and dancers.

Speaking on the track Leigh-Anne states “When we wrote this song, I just knew it was something special, it perfectly captures the essence of who I want to be as a solo artist. That feel-good, powerful, and anthemic song – it’s all about celebrating self-love and embracing its incredible power, and when there was a discussion on a feature I know Ayra was the only one who could embody and amplify this message.”

‘My Love’ follows on from Leigh-Anne’s well-received debut single as a solo artist ‘Don’t Say Love’. Produced by Jon Bellion and Pete Nappi, co-written by Aldae, the track combines her smooth vocals with a high-energy, garage-infused beat.

Growing up Leigh-Anne had popstar tunnel vision. In 2011, Little Mix were formed. The rest of that journey is, of course, history. 11 years later, Little Mix are one of the best-selling girl groups of all time as well as one of the UK’s biggest-selling acts, with over 75 million records sold worldwide, 6 UK Platinum albums and over 15 billion streams.

VALERIE ROSE, IRISH ALT-POP ARTIST, SAYS GOODBYE TO SUMMER IN HER NEW TRACK “SEPTEMBER”

OUT NOW VIA DIFFUSION LAB

LISTEN / STREAM HERE

Valerie Rose released her new single “September” on Friday, September 8th. The song is about the end of summer and the arrival of autumn, the season of change.  

Lyrically, the song depicts the change of seasons and elegantly describes the struggle people have in leaving the long, warm, and bright summer days: “Will I lose my feeling after daylight? / Doesn’t feel right that summer said goodbye / Hate to see her go.”

Valerie was going through an unfamiliar time as a result of starting a new school. She discovered she was letting fear take hold after creating the song, and her experience turned out to be more joyful than she could have expected. This song serves as a reminder that there is hope in the midst of change. Looking back, she says “I was getting ahead of myself.  It turned out I adored the new school and the people I met. They were so supportive and became true friends. Those memories mixed with the dark skies inspired the song.”

The guitar and melody were initially recorded on her phone’s voice memo app as inspiration struck. She then worked on the track with past collaborators Adam Cooke and Chris Bubenzer AKA Benza, with whom she previously collaborated on her most recent releases “Don’t Wanna Talk About It”, “My Head,” and  “Rip My Calendar.”

NEW ALBUM ‘BACK TO THE WATER BELOW’ IS OUT NOW

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE NEW SINGLE ‘SHINER IN THE DARK’ 

HEADLINE TOUR COMMENCES NEXT MONTH INCLUDING

TWO SHOWS AT DUBLIN’S 3OLYMPIA THEATRE 30^TH (SOLD OUT) & 31^ST OCTOBER

“This fourth album branches out to include considerable light and shade, with the expansive-but-to-the-point feel of Smashing Pumpkins’ Gish, or even Led Zeppelin III… top drawer tunes throughout.’’ – MOJO ★★★★

The duo’s self-produced new album sees them tap back into the undeniable chemistry that they made their name on. ‘Back To The Water Below’ feels like a return for Royal Blood – NME ★★★★

“As Thatcher stood on his drum kit and Kerr basked in the adulation midway through Loose Change, these were reborn, and grateful, homecoming heroes. Like it or not, this is rock music. Get used to it.’’ – The Times ★★★★

Royal Blood today unveil their eagerly anticipated new album ‘Back To The Water Below’, which follows three previous consecutive UK #1 records from the Brighton duo. The album is launched alongside a video for the new single ‘Shiner In The Dark’. The album’s first two singles, ‘Mountains At Midnight’ and ‘Pull Me Through’, were premiered by Clara Amfo and Jack Saunders at Radio 1, while the band’s summer touring highlights have included a landmark homecoming show on Brighton Beach, headline sets at Truck, Y NOT? and Kendal Calling, plus further major festivals such as Glastonbury and TRNSMT.

When Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher started work on ‘Back To The Water Below’, they cast aside any preconceptions of what their band could be. They allowed themselves the freedom to embrace other ideas: at times being guided by melodies rather than riffs and rhythms, and at others deploying whatever instrumentation they felt best complemented the songs. If in doubt, they returned to a core belief: that the sound of Royal Blood isn’t defined by genre or the instruments that they play, but by the unique chemistry forged by the two friends.

Key to achieving their creative liberation was the decision to produce the record entirely independently for the first time – not to mention having the freedom to stroll down to their studio space near their homes in Brighton whenever a moment of inspiration struck. While everything had changed for Royal Blood over the course of the previous decade, the reason for forming the band was completely unchanged: the simple joy of Mike plugging in, Ben picking up his sticks, and the pair making a racket for the sheer fun of it.

Mike says, “I think this record was about letting the ideas take us where they needed to go and off the back of ‘Typhoons’, we felt permission to go to those places with more confidence and knowledge of how to execute them. If there was a song that was calling us to do something that wasn’t typically what we’re known for we felt more like that’s where we were going to go. The songs are in charge and if that means having a record that is quite varied that’s what we were going to go for. As a result we’ve made a rollercoaster of a record.”

That rollercoaster ride has been demonstrated by the album’s previous singles. First, ‘Mountains At Midnight’ offered a supercharged take on the old school Royal Blood prototype, and then ‘Pull Me Through’ provided a softer sting as it united plaintive piano with a full-blooded denouement. The new single ‘Shiner In The Dark’ continues that unpredictable streak as it sets a rock ‘n’ roll swagger to the tight, danceable rhythms that pulsated throughout the ‘Typhoons’ album. Meanwhile, its other new songs are just as essential. Devoid of distortion, ‘The Firing Line’ represents a bigger departure, its ‘90s alt-rock tone and an underbelly of psychedelia later elevated by a chiming piano melody, while ‘Tell Me When It’s Too Late’ erupts into a maximalist wall-of-sound. It ends on a high with the ethereal ‘Waves’, which opens with melancholy dream pop atmospherics before taking flight with an expansive shoegaze-tinged finale.

In addition to its digital release, ‘Back To The Water Below’ is available on physical formats which include a Deluxe Edition marbled vinyl, complete with a signed insert and a bonus two-track 7” vinyl. This, together with a range of album bundles, are available HERE.

Royal Blood celebrate the release of ‘Back To The Water Below’ by playing intimate matinee and evening album launch shows in Kingston, Bristol, Leeds and Brighton – limited tickets remain for the evening Leeds show, but all others are sold-out. They will play a wider UK and Ireland tour next month which is already almost sold-out, and will embark upon two North American tours before the year is out.

JOEL CORRY JOINS FORCES WITH MK & RITA ORA ON NEW SINGLE ‘DRINKIN’

LISTEN HERE

LIFTED FROM JOEL’S FORTHCOMING DEBUT ALBUM ‘ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT’

OUT OCTOBER 6 VIA

ASYLUM / ATLANTIC RECORDS

PRE-ORDER ‘ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT’ HERE

Following the announcement of his debut album, ‘Another Friday Night’, Joel Corry has teamed up with legendary DJ/producer, MK, and internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Rita Ora on new single, ‘Drinkin’ – listen HERE.

Performed live by Joel and Rita – fresh from releasing her latest UK Top 10 album, ‘You & I’, in July –  at Joel’s Ibiza Rocks Residency show last Wednesday, ‘Drinkin’ forms the first taste of new material to feature on his forthcoming debut LP, ‘Another Friday Night’.

Produced alongside MK – an artist Joel credits as one of his biggest inspirations – ‘Drinkin’ also follows the UK Top 10 success of ‘0800 HEAVEN’ alongside Nathan Dawe & Ella Henderson, as well as Joel’s recent dancefloor excursions with Billen Ted (‘Do U Want Me Baby? ft. Elphi), Caity Baser (‘Dance Around It’) and Icona Pop & Rain Radio (‘Desire’).

Sampling Chance The Rapper’s ‘All Night’, ‘Drinkin’ taps the classic Joel Corry sound – warm, bubbling chords, bright, infectious vocals and solid peak-time grooves – to land as a single that feels every bit a dance anthem in-waiting.

“Drinkin is the late summer 2023 banger we needed”, explains Joel. “As soon as I first flipped the ‘All Night’ sample, it instantly felt like a smash and collaborating with MK is a dream for me. I’ve been a big fan for years and he’s been a huge inspiration to me throughout my career. The icing on the cake was the incredible Rita Ora laying down the vocals. We’ve been friends for a while and we were waiting for the right track to collaborate on. ‘Drinkin’ feels like exactly that!”

Joel’s debut album, ‘Another Friday Night’, releases on October 6 via Asylum / Atlantic Records – pre-order it HERE.
