- NEW MUSIC: JAMES GILLESPIE | LOVE ON THE SIDE
Last year saw James Gillespie enjoy the most significant moment of his career when his Kygo collab ‘Gone Are The Days’ exceeded 60 million streams. The Norwegian superstar again picks up momentum for 2022 by sharing his brand new single "Love On The Side," which finds the sweet spot between a playful modern pop jam and James’ vintage soul influences. Although its title suggests it will be something more introspective, its positive spirit contains an empowering message - if someone is unable or unwilling to fully commit to you, breaking free of the relationship will ultimately be for the best. James says, “Love On The Side" is a story about being so in love and feeling all those emotions that you have been searching for, but with someone already in a relationship. It's hoping that this person is the one for you but wondering why they are still in their current relationship if they feel the same. If you're head over heels, how do you stop loving someone if they don’t feel the same? You have tried to be their sidepiece but have fallen so deep that it's just not possible any longer. Saying goodbye to someone you love is hard but having that realization is important. Especially when, even with so much love, you can’t go on with it any longer. It comes to the conclusion that if they love you like you love them then they wouldn’t be lying beside someone else at the same time. IF IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU - YOU'RE NOT RIGHT FOR ME.” After recently releasing the "Live At St. Pancras Old Church" album and selling out shows in New York and Los Angeles, James has just started a headline tour that calls at London’s Lafayette on March 30th.

A relationship is over, but the feelings remain," Sebastian says of the song.

- NEW ALBUM: ASTN | YOU'RE ALMOST THERE
With so many avenues for artists to demonstrate their talents, it is nearly inevitable for the up-and-coming voices to rise to the top in some format. In the highly competitive medium of social media, ASTN has already achieved what some artists consider their primary goal – to go viral. In a TikTik video posted in November of 2021, he reimagined Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” with more of an R&B aesthetic. Over 60 million views and 1.8 million followers later, ASTN found himself with an audience anxious to see if there was any true potential behind a creative character. Quickly responding to any skepticism, ASTN released the lead single “Gradually” only months later, in late January. Followed weeks later by another new track, “Real,” both answered questions from fans about the perceived limits of ASTN’s talents. He has now released his new EP, "You’re Almost There," which leans into his natural R&B skillset while incorporating pop appeal, a satisfying balance of both genres that clarifies the vision he has for his sound. Though the combination of R&B and pop is not an original recipe, ASTN impressively offers a fresh outlook on the soundscape. A 5-song listen, "You’re Almost There," includes instrumental breaks and catchy choruses that help keep the album's pace compelling. In his first major release since his viral breakout, ASTN proves that he is not a trend; instead, he is an artist with the charisma, drive, and talent to build a career for himself.
- NEW MUSIC: J BALVIN & ED SHEERAN | SIGUE AND FOREVER MY LOVE
J Balvin and Ed Sheeran have teamed up for a new two-song release consisting of collaborative singles “Sigue” and “Forever My Love,” both got the music video treatment. Marking the first collaboration between the pair, the two-song EP is powered by an uptempo reggaeton dance song and a stripped-down melancholy ballad, with each artist playing their acoustic guitars. Sheeran first dabbled in Latin music with his 2017 “Shape of You” remix featuring Zion & Lennox. The artists spoke about the process of collaborating on the tracks. “They were made in a very, very, very natural way,” Sheeran explained. “It wasn’t a label reaching out sort of thing. We met in a gym and made friends first, and then, later on, we started making music, and it just happened very organically. And yeah, I’m really excited to put them out, and see what you people think.” Sheeran, who sings in Spanish on both songs, revealed he picked up the language to work on his contributions. “I learned Spanish for them, which took a while. So I guess that’s my new party trick,” the 31-year-old joked. “Yeah, I guess that’s a skill that it shows off.” Most recently, the British singer-songwriter practiced his Spanish in Camila Cabello‘s “Bam Bam,” where he mainly sings in English but joins Cabello in the chorus singing “asi es la vida.” Both artists also shared that the two-song EP is just the beginning and teased that more of their pop/reggaeton combo is on the way. Sheeran and Balvin released albums in 2021; Balvin's "Jose" dropped in September, with Sheeran's "=" following a month later.

The Los Angeles-based French-Korean singer-songwriter spill tab has premiered a new song, “Sunburn,” her first single since the 2021 EP “Bonnie.” The track was co-produced with Solomonphonic, and of the collaboration, spill tab says: “I had a lot of fun making this with Solomonophonic, he’s been a homie for a while, and I’m such a fan of everything he works on, so I was stoked to work together. He’s such an energetic and dynamic person, which translates into music, and we both wanted to make something loud and a bit weird. So we started making ‘Sunburn’ on one of his synths running through with a weird-ass pedal he had just gotten, and went from there. The lyrics come from a place of unsettledness and frustration, which felt like it matched the energy of the instruments.” “Just sobbing over music,” spill tab said. “I think it's like this sense of like urgency that I feel in my life. Not urgency, but just this idea where it's like I really want to feel like I'm placing my time in like the right people's hands and started surrounding myself with the right people; I make them feel good about myself. And if that's not the case, and it's like my piece.” spill tab’s two EP’s, "Oatmilk" and "Bonnie," have amassed over 30 million combined streams to date.

Before then, the band has shared the new song “Not the One.” It’s the third single from the record, following “Black Summer” and “Poster Child.” Over mellow, shimmery chords, Anthony Kiedis sings about his struggle to live up to his loved ones' expectations of him. “I’m not the one you fell into,” he sings. “I’m not the one, the one for you.” Flea plays piano in addition to bass on the track, which features shimmery clouds of six-string introspection courtesy of Frusciante. “We spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another to make the best album we could,” the band said. “Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together and, once again, try to get better. Days, weeks, and months were spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words, and melodies were enrapt.” The California rock mainstays will receive the 2,717th star on the Walk of Fame=and will be located in the second row at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, adjacent to Amoeba Records on the south side of the street and next to TV producer Harry Friedman’s star.

- NEW ALBUM: SELAH SUE | PERSONA
Multi-platinum rising Belgian star Selah Sue is back with her magnificent brand new album “Persona” via Because Music Atop technicolour production that runs the gamut from classic R&B balladry to fizzy disco-pop concoctions, Selah unspools her internal contradictions in this testament to the untidy business of human existence and self-definition. A new video accompanies the new album for “Wanted You To Know,” featuring Belgian rap superstar Damso. Together, the two embrace the power of independence while firing crossbows like they’re auditioning for a new "Blade" sequel. Whether she’s defying faulty advice to bury her emotions “There Comes A Day.” finding solace in sexual communion “Celebrate.” or confronting the darker sides of herself “Twice a Day,” "Persona" deftly maneuvers through a remarkably varied set of musical environments — from spritely disco-pop to jazzy lullabies, sweeping neo-soul, and more — while maintaining a conceptually clever, empathetic, and deeply personal narrative voice throughout. It’s a powerful portrayal of her experience – often witty and never overdone. Take the lead single “Pills,” a “glistening, groovy pop jam” that laments the anhedonic side effects of SSRIs. Crackling to life with the effervescent bounce of a 90s French house, “Pills” examines the lost emotional highs caused by the anti-depressants she’s been prescribed since age 16. Selah Sue first broke out in 2011 with her platinum-selling self-titled debut album. After millions of streams and a whirlwind musical journey, Selah had wracked up collaborations with Childish Gambino and J Cole.
- NEW MUSIC: NICKLAS SAHL | GOD SAVE THE DREAM + ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM
Nicklas Sahl has spent time in the studio during the pandemic closing to write songs for his second album. "God Save The Dream" is the title of Nicklas Sahl's second album, which will be released on May 6, 2022, and it is also the title of his new single. Since his breakthrough in 2018 with the songs “New Eyes” and “Planets,” Nicklas Sahl has brought his music to TV shows, radios and major concerts. The coincidence between the pandemic closure and Nicklas Sahl's time in the studio paved the way for reflection and a desire to create something that people could gather around. It is one of the recurring themes in music. Nicklas Sahl says about "God Save The Dream," “It was absolutely fantastic to experience one big dream after another to be fulfilled - but as the waves grew, so did the expectations and opinions of me and my music, of course - both from the team around me and not least from myself - and them I had to let go before I could start creating new music,” says Nicklas Sahl. The song "God Save The Dream" is the story of my journey as a musician so far. From when I, as a little boy, fell in love with music and dreamed of becoming a rock star, music became my way of life, and I was suddenly part of this massive machine of industry. The song is a tribute to his dreams and a call to dare to trust his intuition on the journey towards his goals both in headwinds and in headwinds. Following the album's release on Friday, 6 May, Nicklas Sahl will travel with his band to the country's four largest cities to play the first headliner concerts since 2020.
- NEW MUSIC: SOFT CELL & PET SHOP BOYS | PURPLE ZONE + VIDEO PREMIERE
’80s synthpop standard-bearers Soft Cell are back with a new song and video for “Purple Zone,” which they recorded in collaboration with Pet Shop Boys. As you might have heard, Soft Cell is releasing their first new album in 20 years, "Happiness Not Included." Pulsating and highly chantable, “Purple Zone” follows already released singles “Bruises On All My Illusions,” “Heart Like Chernobyl,” and the album’s title track. According to a press release, Pet Shop Boys were initially going to remix “Purple Zone” after watching Soft Cell perform the song on tour last year. Instead, the two electro-pop acts decided to team up and record a collaboration. “Working with the Pet Shop Boys was a pleasure, and this track is the perfect combination of them and us,” Soft Cell’s Marc Almond said in a statement. The adorable video, directed by Yassa Khan, stars the bands as servers in a pub and an ice cream truck, meditating upon the difficulty of life in the modern world. The video cuts between the performers and a cross-section of unique individuals. We see beauty in both the young and the aging populace, all grappling with various forms of identity and self-expression at different stages of life. It’s a lovely commentary on the passage of time: one commonality the generations all share is a love of food, drink, and public ritual: a refreshing street cone or a draught of Guinness at a pub. With “Purple Zone,” Soft Cell has located the sweet spot of compromise: a catchy anthem mixed with good old-fashioned crone wisdom that can only be achieved by genuinely living an adventurous life.
- NEW MUSIC: FINNEAS | NAKED
Finneas has returned with a new cut, "Naked," marking his first new material of the year. The track begins with a funky pop groove, but takes a dramatic shift towards arena rock halfway through, propelled by a bridge filled with big guitar riffs. “If I don’t feel it, I don’t fake it,” Finneas sings on the hook. “If I’m being real, it was overrated/If I know the deal, then I won’t take it/I can’t believe you’ve seen me naked.” While “Naked” is the first original solo song Finneas has offered up this year, it arrives on the heels of his recent cover of Bon Iver’s “Flume,” which dropped as part of Spotify’s Singles series earlier this month — for which he also reworked his song, “Medieval.” Finneas and sister Billie Eilish also penned several songs for the fictional boyband 4*Town featured in the new Pixar movie, "Turning Red." (Finneas even voiced one of the faux band’s members.) Finneas released his debut solo album, "Optimist," last year after sharing an EP, "Blood Harmony," in 2019. The record helped earn Finneas a Best New Artist nomination at this year’s Grammys, where he’s also up for Record, Song, and Album of the Year thanks to his work with Eilish on "Happier Than Ever" and its title track. In related news, Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell won the original song Oscar for “No Time to Die,” the title tune for the latest James Bond film, at Sunday’s 94th annual Academy Awards. It’s the third consecutive Academy Award for music in the long-running spy franchise, following Adele’s win for 2012’s “Skyfall” and Sam Smith’s for “Writing’s on the Wall” from 2015’s “Spectre.
- NEW ALBUM: ALICIA MOFFET | INTERTWINE
More assumed, stronger, and more organized: this is how singer Alicia Moffet is making her post-COVID comeback by launching her first EP entitled "Intertwine." The name of the EP says it well; for Alicia, everything in life is connected. "Intertwine" is, therefore, the culmination of Alicia Moffet's reflection on the events that shaped her, on moments when emotions are strong, free and, above all, authentic. Exploring the gray areas that make existence and relationships ever-intertwining, Alicia concludes with this new material that not everything is always black or white, and that beauty perhaps unfolds in the spectrum between both. The new EP follows the publication of his first album, "Billie Ave." which exceeded 18 million streams and reached the Canadian top 50 on Billboard and the number one spot in the pop album category on Apple Music. This new EP represents an important step in the artist's journey as each song echoes experiences close to her. "Intertwine" is the fruit of Alicia Moffet's rich and multifaceted inner work, where balance is essential to her personal development. The eight songs on "Intertwine" were written and composed by Alicia Moffet, Dani Poppit and Richard Beynon, with input from the talent of songwriters and composers Zach Zoya, Laurence Lafond-Beaulne, Connor Seidel, Alex Saad, Cole Citrenbaum and Jamie Fine.

Composed of Nicolay Sereba of Norwegian-Ivorian origin and Vincent Dery of Ghanaian heritage created their music as a fusion of genres as diverse as pop to reggae to soul, having been exposed by the various musical influences of their parents with whom they made recurring trips to the West Coast of Africa Since the pandemic started last year. They've been making music together for almost 12 years and wondered if it's time to go their separate ways. The answer was no: you have more to say, to put a smile on more people's faces - all over the world. Then the best comes together for them - personally and artistically. "Peace" is a song we wrote a while ago for our upcoming album, and it was originally a song about the turmoil we are all facing in the world, both inside and out. Then when the war broke out in Ukraine, the song started to work on us in a completely different way. It was not just about mental peace and social peace but also about literal peace that was hard to imagine. As Norwegians and sharing a border with Russia, we feel very much at home here." They formed in 2010 as Envy but changed their name to Nico & Vinz by the end of 2012. They are primarily famous for their biggest hit single, "Am I Wrong," which peaked at number 2 in Norway, Denmark and Sweden and number 1 in the United Kingdom.

Multi-platinum UK producer Jonas Blue has teamed up with Sevenn for their new vibrant collaboration, "Angles." The track samples Booka Shade’s iconic “In White Rooms,” this electrifying tune has been given the seal of approval by the widely-renowned German duo. Barreling toward stardom with his recent signing to William Morris Endeavor, Sevenn continues to put his elite production prowess on full display with this genre-defying dance anthem. Thanks to the delicate touch of these two powerhouse DJs, “Angles” plays like the rare track that packs a punch while still presenting itself with a fresh coat of subdued production polish.

Blurring genres with each passing second, “Angles” kicks the energy up a notch with oscillating harmonies and sensual percussive elements. A semi-dark house-infused cut perfect for any occasion, “Angles” dutifully fuses Sevenn’s and Jonas Blue’s iconic styles into one irresistible record. Jonas Blue says: “Angles’ was a fun hook idea I had as a followup to my track ‘I Wanna Dance,’ which also features my vocals. The idea kinda stemmed from social media and selfies, with people always trying to get their best angles on a photo. When we paired that hook with the music from the Booka Shade track, we knew we had something special. Sevenn coming on board and finishing it with me was the perfect fit to take this one to the next level.”
- NEW MUSIC: TATE MCRAE | CHAOTIC
Rising pop star Tate McRae has recently shifted gears lately to focus on her music career, and the transition has been a seamless one. Following up her initial 2020 EP, "All The Things I Never Said," she came out of the gate in early 2021 with the follow-up, "Too Young To Be Sad," which spawned hit singles like “You Broke Me First” and “Rubberband.” The singer/songwriter Tate McRae now releases her new track and visualizer for “Chaotic” via RCA Records. The emotionally charged ballad showcases more of McRae’s lyrics and reunites her with Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer Greg Kurstin. This serves as her third single for the forthcoming album. This song is a bluesy reflection on how hard it can be to change, grow up, and leave behind old habits and old relationships.

- NEW ALBUM: MAREN MORRIS | HUMBLE QUEST
The highly-anticipated new album "Humble Quest" from Grammy-winning superstar Maren Morris has been released via Sony Music Nashville’s Columbia Nashville imprint. Her latest record was made during the postpartum depression that followed the birth of her first child, darkness compounded by the loss of her longtime creative wingman Michael Busbee to brain cancer and magnified by the pandemic. Yet the music on her third album is joyous and bright, playful and profound, full of easy, comfortable pleasures that feel deeper for being hard-won. To say "Humble Quest" is a re-embrace of country music is misleading as it suggests Morris, who can conjure a Texan Amy Winehouse, was ever a neat fit for the genre or that she ever has aspired to be. That said, the album is a near-perfect expression of country-pop post-"Golden Hour," the high-water mark by Morris’ Lone Star pal Kacey Musgraves: music channelling the ’70s California rock that channelled classic country songcraft. "Humble Quest" may be filigreed with pedal steel, dobro, and mandolin, but it runs on guitars, synth washes, big drums, and bigger choruses. Morris has released a few songs before the long-awaited album’s release, including “Circles Around This Town,” “Background Music,” and “Nervous.” Furthermore, Maren’s Humble Quest Tour will see her play headline dates across the U.S. this year. Kicking off in June, the tour includes stops at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater, one Canadian stop in Toronto on July 16 @ the Budweiser stage and more

Later, she also stopped by "The Late Late Show with James Corden" to talk about the track. “I get nervous every single time,” she said of her feelings before releasing new music. “Because you want people to like what you do – we wouldn’t be doing it if we didn’t want approval from our fans.”
