HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ALBUM POSTER GIRL COMING SOON

“The clubs might be closed, but Zara Larsson is transporting us to the dance floor” – MTV 

“Larsson brought the house down with an epic performance” – VOGUE 

“Paying homage to the old school [pop] sound” – V Magazine 

(January 8, 2021 – Los Angeles, CA) – Today, multi-platinum pop star Zara Larsson kicks off the New Year with a bang on brand new single “Talk About Love” featuring hip-hop heavyweight Young Thug. The 23-year-old phenomenon has also teased further details of her ‘highly anticipated’ forthcoming album ‘Poster Girl’ (coming soon).

Produced by Mike Sabath (Lizzo, Meghan Trainor, Jonas Brothers) the fiercely energetic, free-spirited new single finds Zara boldly declaring “I don’t wanna talk about love,” with a melodic verse from Young Thug. To bring the single to life, Zara teamed up with Ryder Rippsto direct the sultry music video featuring dazzling dance sequences.

Get it HERE via TEN/Epic Records. Watch the music video HERE.

“’Talk About Love’ is about that phase before two people work out what they are to one another,” Zara explains. “That specific window is so beautiful and fragile, as soon as you start asking ‘are we doing this?’ or ‘how do *you* feel?’, for some people that ruins the magic. ‘Talk About Love’ is savoring that moment before you have to decide.”

It follows Zara’s latest hit “WOW” which exploded on TikTok after it was featured in Netflix’s hit original film, ‘Work It’ (and has amassed over 100 million streams, not to mention Zara’s show-stopping performance at this year’s MTV EMA Awards). ‘Poster Girl’ was further introduced in dazzling style under lockdown with the socially-distanced video for ‘Love Me Land’, written by Zara alongside the powerhouse team of Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter (Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber).

Zara Larsson has all the makings of a classic pop star, but in the most contemporary form. Her unshakeable enthusiasm for music saw Larsson land her first number 1 single aged 15, but also feels deeply rooted in the national psyche of Sweden. Zara’s sixth sense for pop melodies have powered a series of chart-bulldozing anthems ever since (including ‘Lush Life’, ‘I Would Like’, ‘Symphony’, ‘Never Forget You’, and ‘Ruin My Life’). Zara Larsson’s ambition, though, only starts with the bangers. Few mainstream acts can claim to have performed before the Nobel Prize committee, won an award for feminism from Sweden’s oldest women’s’ rights organization, and led a Durex campaign in association with the HIV charity Red in the same breath as having toured stadiums with Ed Sheeran, or worked with BTS, Ty Dolla $ign and Mura Masa. A budding Gen Z role model, Zara is as fluent in the magic of pop music as she’s likely to speak without filter on love, sex, and online life (sample tweet: “Feminism and man hating are two different things. I support both”).

‘Talk About Love’ marks a clean chapter from Zara Larsson’s huge debut international album ‘So Good’, which is still the second most-streamed debut album by a female artist ever on Spotify. Empowering, uplifting and deeply personal, Zara Larsson is a new kind of a pop star, and a fearless young woman simply born to do it.

About Zara Larsson

All women have superpowers. Wielding those superpowers, Zara Larsson provokes and pushes pop music and culture forward with empowered, enlightened and energized anthems that soar and seduce all at once.

Gracing the stage of the 2017 Nobel Prize Peace Concert, she performed the platinum “Symphony” with collaborators Clean Bandit.Emerging from lockdown in 2020 with a fierce, focused, and feminine fire, Zara arrives with a bold and boundary breaking body of work for her forthcoming international album.

WATCH NOW

(January 8 — Los Angeles, CA)

Today, Day Sulan and D3szn cement 2021 as the year of 4Hunnid Records with the release of “Hit ‘Em Up,” a high octane collaboration with the label imprint’s head honcho: the multi-platinum Compton native YG. The music video, featuring appearances from all three recording artists, also makes its debut today. 

STREAM/DOWNLOAD “HIT ‘EM UP” HERE VIA EPIC RECORDS

WATCH “HIT “EM UP” HERE

“Hit ‘Em Up,” the first 4Hunnid release of the year, capitalizes on the momentum created by Day Sulan and D3szn to end 2020, showcasing YG’s effortless knack for anthems simultaneously. Despite the song title’s homage to the phrase immortalized by the legendary Tupac Shakur, YG and company take clear inspiration from the omnipresent drill movement that’s quickly gripped the 2020s. 

The result sparkles. YG’s slurred but sharp delivery blends perfectly with the song’s uneven rhythm, and his proteges respond in kind.

Bold and full of energy, Day Sulan and D3szn take center stage next to YG in the accompanying music video, set in an underground boxing event. Quick cuts and shadowy lighting mark the three-minute long feature, casting the 4Hunnid trio in a frenetic energy — a fitting backdrop for their sinister performances.

Day Sulan, a fellow Compton native, enjoyed a fruitful 2020 that saw her establish a foothold as a solo artist under YG’s tutelage. It included a ferocious collaboration with Rubi Rose, “BIG,” which has surpassed 1.5 million music video views on YouTube. D3szn, the most recent signee to 4Hunnid, is coming off an appearance on YG’s latest studio album, My Life 4Hunnid, beside none other than Lil Wayne on “Blood Walk.”  

For in excess of two years, YG has placed a noted emphasis on the development of his 4Hunnid empire, from its artist roster to an apparel and merchandise line. With moments like the triumphant “Hit ‘Em Up” video, the collective seems primed to cash in on that potential strategically. 

DEBUT STUDIO ALBUM RAGER BØY ARRIVES THIS YEAR

(Los Angeles, CA – January 8, 2021) Today, Tyla Yaweh begins his biggest year yet with the release of his supersonic new music video for “All The Smoke” featuring Gunna and Wiz Khalifa. Watch the clip, directed by Chris Villa (Tyla, Post Malone) HERE, which launched last night via a Youtube Premiere Livestream. Get the Hitmaka-produced track at all DSPs HERE via London Entertainment/Epic Records.

Initially released at the end of December, “All The  Smoke” oozes with the realization of Tyla Yaweh’s potential. Praised by the likes of Complex, LA Weekly, Highsnobiety, Uproxx, HotNewHipHop, and more, with NME calling the track “explosive,” the snog is Tyla’s most anthem-ready release to-date. The official video crystalizes the energy of the track with the three artists unfolding a Fast & Furious-style adrenaline rush of a story.

The video sets the stage for his anticipated new album RAGER BØY, arriving soon. 

It should come as no surprise that the Orlando, FL-bred, LA-based artist is ready for his close-up. Despite the challenges of 2020, the last year was easily his most productive and successful year yet. He achieved his first Billboard Hot 100 hit with the Post Malone-featuring “Tommy Lee,” which has generated over 148 million streams to-date. His second single of the year, “Stuntin’ On You” featuring a scorching DaBaby, immediately followed and has generated over 66 million streams of its own thus far. Both tracks received special remixes, with SAINt JHN (stream HERE) and Tommy Lee (watch HERE) himself remixing “Tommy Lee,” and most recently DDG and Dame D.O.L.L.A. joining Tyla on a new version of “Stuntin’ On You” (watch HERE). In addition, 2020 saw Tyla receive his first two Goldrecords, for “Tommy Lee” as well as his 2019 break-out “High Right Now,” taken from his debut project Heart Full Of Rage. Plus, he recently crossed half a billion career streams and made his television debut, performing “Tommy Lee” with Post Malone on the Billboard Music Awards (watch HERE).

In addition to his recent streaming prowess, “Stuntin’ On You” is to be featured within FOX Sports’ live sports franchises world-wide for all 2020-2021 seasons, while “Tommy Lee” appears on the latest edition of the wildly popular NBA 2K video game franchise. 

Tyla Yaweh has been a major artist to watch, and as 2021 begins, he stands to reap the benefits of his meticulous growth. As Billboard notes, “Tyla Yaweh is undoubtedly on the precipice of stardom.” 

“All The Smoke” is proof.

“[One of 2020’s) Biggest Rising Talents In Hollywood.” – Wall Street Journal Magazine

Album Pre-Order & Pre-Save Live Now 

(January 8, 2021) – Marking an ascendant return with their first new music in five years, multi-platinum rock band CHEVELLE announce their ninth full-length album, NIRATIAS [Epic Records], out on March 5, 2021. The album is available for pre-order and pre-save HERE.

To herald the release, the duo of brothers Pete and Sam Loeffler just debuted the first single “Self destructor.” The song is available for streaming and purchase HERE.  Primed to take over airwaves, it will officially impact Active Rock radio next week, and will be featured as iHeartRadio’s World Premiere on all of iHeart’s Active Rock stations, playing every three hours. In addition, earlier today Chevelle shared the official music video. View it HERE.

Tossing and turning between moments of heavy catharsis and alternative hypnosis, “Self destructor” hinges on a nimble guitar riff and throttling drums. Pete’s voice careens from hard-hitting verses towards a sweeping refrain uplifted by a haunting high register. The sci-fi music video for the track perfectly complements its mood. The near six-minute cinematic clip follows the duo on the search for truth. Dressed in black suits and ties like G-men, they trace the steps of a ghostly astronaut deep into the woods.

You’ll have to watch to find out what they dig up… 

NIRATIAS stands out as the band’s most pummeling and provocative record yet. Teaming with longtime producer Joe Barresi [Tool, Queens of the Stone Age], Chevelle recorded throughout 2019 and 2020 and pieced together an intriguing and inimitable body of work, with themes that will reveal themselves soon.  The album artwork, releveled today, is by Boris Vallejo. The famed and award-winning artist is responsible for the posters used for films like Knightriders and National Lampoon’s Vacation, as well as iconic 70’s and 80’s science fiction novel covers and magazines (such as Heavy Metal).  

As a testament to their sustained success and influence, the band also recently scored multiple platinum and gold certifications. Their now-classic 2002 album Wonder What’s Next and breakout single “The Red” both reached double-platinum status, the single “Send The Pain Below” garnered a platinum certification, 2004’s This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) went platinum, and 2007’s full-length Vena Sera is now gold.

Chevelle have transformed rock music as tried-and-true outliers. The multiplatinum Chicago rock band have generated nearly half-a-billion streams, earned seven number one hits, and sold out shows worldwide. Their catalog spans the double-platinum Wonder What’s Next highlighted by the double-platinum smash “The Red” and platinum “Send The Pain Below” as well as the platinum This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) and gold Vena Sera. They’ve landed four Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, including Sci-Fi Crimes[2009], Hats Off to the Bull [2011], La Gárgola [2014], and The North Corridor [2016]. The latter two each captured #1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart. 

With NIRATIAS, get ready to lift off with Chevelle as they elevate into another stratosphere in 2021.

NEW PROJECT COMING NEXT YEAR

BET JAMS ALL-DAY PREMIERE LAUNCHES “WORLD” MUSIC VIDEO, OUT NOW

December 18, 2020—New York, NY— With all eyes on 2021, rising genre-disrupting, multi-hyphenate artist Lonr. uncovers a brand new single and music video entitled “WORLD”today. Get it HERE via Epic Records. In addition, Lonr. joined fans earlier today via a YouTube Premiere Livestream to launch the official music video, which also receives an all-day BET Jams premiere. Watch it via VEVO HERE.

On the track, sweeping strings wash over a glitchy beat as his voice echoes with unrestrained emotion. “WORLD” showcases Lonr.’s signature sound, braiding together the DNA of a multitude of genres together for a future-forward sound, while seamlessly showcasing his undeniable vocals and a spitfire flow. He makes confessions such as “I’m my own opponent, I create my own shit,” as the momentum mounts through intense verses and a haunting hook: “I just want the world to know.” The cinematic music video perfectly complements the concept. Isolated somewhere in a desert dystopia, Lonr. gives a gut-wrenching performance between conducting a gothic masked string session and eventually setting everything around him on fire. 

“WORLD” bulldozes the way for the arrival of his second project, due out next year.

With that, Lonr. continues to evolve right in front of the culture.  Land Of Nothing Real, which the 2x GRAMMY Award winner released earlier this Spring, established the singer, songwriter, rapper and producer as one of the most exciting new artists to watch. To date, the project has amassed him over 68 million streams, while single “Make The Most” ft. H.E.R. has been a breakthrough moment for him. This fall, the song catapulted to #1 on the Urban AC Radio Chart, completing a 26-week climb to the top. He took the stage at the BET Awards in June for an unforgettable performance of the track, which was the #1 most Shazam’d moment of the evening. Plus, he garnered a nomination in the coveted category of “Best New Artist” at the 2020 Soul Train Awards, placing him in good company with the likes of Snoh Aalegra and Giveon. Get the EP HERE, which alongside H.E.R. features a collaboration with 24kGoldn. Watch the video for “Make The Most” HERE.

Along with Lonr.’s impressive success, the rising artist has received a wave of critical acclaim this year. Uproxx dubbed him “a star in the making” while Elevator called him “a force to be reckoned with.”  In an extensive profile, DJ Booth exclaimed that Lonr.’s music will take you on a tour of the future and that “each Lonr. song feels like a micro-feature film, the way it undulates and pulses with his affecting and raspy vocal.” Upon release, The FADERdubbed the “Make The Most” video “beautifully sad” while Ones to Watch called the song “dreamlike.” HotNewHipHop proclaimed “once again, Lonr. proves his ability to develop a catchy hook.” In addition, he was BET AMPLIFIED’s Artist Of The Month for May 2020. Billboard may have put it best surrounding the BET Awards: “After his performance of the earnest yet restrained ‘Make the Most’ had viewers’ mouths agape during the 2020 BET Awards, he just might be quietly stepping into his own spotlight.”

Watch this space for more new Lonr. music, coming soon.

DEBUT ALBUM LIFE SUPPORT OUT FEBRUARY 26^TH

VEVO LIFT PERFORMANCE OF “BOYSHIT” OUT NOW

(December 11^th 2020- Los Angeles, CA) – Today sees Madison Beer release her latest single “BOYSHIT,” via Epic Records. With the release comes Madison’s Vevo LIFT campaign, which features a performance of the single, along with “Selfish,” her fastest ever US certified gold record, and a short film on the artist titled “Becoming.” “BOYSHIT” is taken from Madison’s forthcoming debut album, Life Support, out February 26^th 2021. 

Listen to “BOYSHIT” HERE via Epic Records 

Watch Madison’s Vevo LIFT Performances HERE

“”BOYSHIT’ is a back-to-my-roots moment on the album; I really wanted to channel the same kind of confidence I carried myself with on songs like ‘Home With You’ and ‘Dead.’ The word ‘boyshit’ is obviously a play on words and a bit tongue in cheek…We had a lot of fun in the studio with this one and didn’t take ourselves too seriously. The line, ‘I don’t speak boyshit’ really just means I don’t have time for petty arguments and childishness, I don’t have time for BS. If you’re not going to change, I’m moving on.”

“BOYSHIT” is the latest single from Madison’s highly anticipated debut album, Life Support, out February 26^th. The album is a strong personal and artistic statement that sees Madison where she thrives – commanding creative control through writing her own songs, producing and creating her own visuals. Life Support features previous releases “Good In Goodbye,” “Selfish,” “Stained Glass” and “Baby” which have a combined total stream count of over 442 million. Globally, Madison has nearly 3 billion streams across her catalogue. 

“Writing songs is like therapy for me,” says Madison. “That’s why this album is called Life Support. It helped me get rid of the darkness and see the light. My inspirations sonically are really diverse. I guess I’m not an easy artist to pigeonhole, and a lot of these songs are like nothing I’ve ever attempted before. All of me is laid bare on this album; it’s been a really fulfilling experience to create something that feels so true to myself. I’m grateful to my fans who have stuck by me since the beginning. Life Support has been a long time coming, and I’m just so excited for them to see what I’ve been working on.”

Vevo has tapped Madison for their coveted LIFT campaign, out now. The 3-part series features a performance of “BOYSHIT” out now well as a performance of “Selfish,” and a short film titled “Becoming” that are both forthcoming. The campaign takes viewers further into the mind of the artist with striking visuals and gripping storytelling, and further cements Madison as an artist to watch for 2021. Vevo LIFT alumni include Billie Eilish, Halsey, Jorja Smith, and SZA. 

Madison has attracted the endorsement of Billboard, V Magazine, Paper and Rolling Stone who hailed her as a “rising pop star.” Prior to signing with Epic Records late last year, she achieved unprecedented success as an independent artist with her partner First Access Entertainment. Her debut EP As She Pleases boasts nearly 1 billion streams and made her the first independent female solo artist to break into the Top 20 radio charts.

GET A VERY TRAINOR CHRISTMAS HERE!

“The winner of the best Christmas album of 2020 is clearly Meghan Trainor.”

-Associated Press

(December 10, 2020 – Los Angeles, CA) – With Christmas a little more than two weeks away, Meghan Trainor unveils a new high energy music video for her original holiday song “I Believe In Santa” starring none other than her friend, mega star JoJo Siwa. Watch it HERE.

Powered by show-stopping vocal runs and sweet seasonal swagger, the video seamlessly translates the song’s magic on-screen. After stumbling upon Santa’s house, Siwa electrifies every room she encounters with her unstoppable choreography. She dunks herself in marshmallows and hot cocoa, rocks shiny elf threads, and even inspires Santa J Claus (our favorite TikTok Santa) to bust out his breakdancing skills. Siwa perfectly performs Trainor’s lyrics, “I believe in Santa, not just in December, baby!”

The clip might just make you believe too.

“JoJo is a superstar!,” said Meghan. “She works so hard and her incredible, positive energy is contagious. It was an honor to have her star in this music video!”

“I have always admired Meghan as a singer, songwriter, entertainer! I am so happy and honored to star in her video,” said JoJo. “I can’t wait for the world to see it!”

It’s just the latest anthem to be released from her first-ever Christmas album, A Very Trainor Christmas, via Epic Records. Get A Very Trainor Christmas now HERE.

One of many gifts under the tree, “White Christmas” just soared to #1 on the AC chart, while holding #1 on the mediabase Holiday Chart for the fourth consecutive week. Plus, Meghan continues her television takeover. She hit the stage at NBC’s TODAY Show for the Rockefeller Tree Lighting. Last night, she lit up The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing “Holidays” joined by Earth, Wind & Fire. Maintaining this momentum, she will be performing on The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Late Late Show with James Corden next week.

A Very Trainor Christmas is packed with all your favorite Holiday classics along with a total of six new original songs, including the previously released “I’ll Be Home” and “My Kind of Present.” “Holidays” [feat. Earth, Wind & Fire] dangles mistletoe from the disco ball as funky horns and a wild beat resound through Christmas Eve and into the morning. “Christmas Party” brings the entire family together, while “Christmas Got Me Blue” gets the lonely hearts dancing.

Of course, it wouldn’t be the holidays without friends and family. Seth MacFarlane joins Meghan for a soulful and sweet rendition of “White Christmas,” while Meghan’s cousins,Jayden, Jenna, & Marcus Toney take flight with “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Marking the most sentimental moment of all, dad Gary Trainor guests on a joyous “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.”

I hope there’s something in there for people to relate to in some way,” says Scribz. “The title Wish Me Luck is basically what it says on the tin – although I feel confident in the music, in the early stages there was a lot of uncertainty for me on how it would be received, especially with making the transition of being a producer to becoming an artist. I guess it is me moving forward into the unknown, so wish me luck…”

Anticipation has been steadily building for debut EP Wish Me Luck and Scribz has built up a loyal following for his distinct and polished sound. A musical statement of intent from Scribz, marking that moment before he made the switch to artist as well as producer, the EP features all four singles above alongside a host of brand-new unreleased tracks. Featuring guest vocals from the likes of 6LACK, Headie One, Kaash Paige and KWN & JADA, the full tracklisting is below:

1. On My Sleeve (feat. Kaash Paige) 
2. Impress Me (feat. Headie One) 
3. Outta Your Way 
4. Introduce Myself (feat. KWN & JADA) 
5. Mandy 
6. Used To This 
7. Dim My Light (feat. 6LACK) 
8. I Lied (Part 1) 
9. East Side
10. Secretly

While Wish Me Luck signifies the final part of Scribz’ first chapter, it’s just the start of the remarkable musical journey yet to come. Keep an eye on Scribz Riley.

(November 20th, 2020 – Los Angeles, CA) – Continuing an impressive run in 2020 with tens of millions of streams and widespread critical acclaim, platinum-certified Boston-born and Los Angeles-based rapper BIA unveils a new single and music video entitled “Skate” today. 

Get it HERE via Epic Records.

She freezes the beat in its tracks with quotable lines such as, “Let ‘em hate, soak it up, let ‘em marinate,” and “I’m the coldest bitch I know. I’m still freezing in a mink.” The accompanying short visual directed by Jon Primo remains just as cold. BIA and a gang of ski-masked ladies armed-to-the-teeth menace with palpable intensity and runway-ready style. It might just be her iciest excursion yet. 

Watch it HERE on VEVO/YouTube.

The track arrives on the heels of “Same Hands” [feat. Lil Durk]. Not only did the recent single rack up 3 million Spotify streams with 1.2 million YouTube views on the music video, but it also received plugs from UPROXX, REVOLT, and more.

Earlier this year, BIA made waves and turned heads with the single “COVER GIRL” which was released in the midst of the pandemic. It’s already amassed over 8.5 million streams worldwide and 357K YouTube views on the quarantine music video . Meanwhile, Nylon included it on “Soundcheck: The 10 Best Music Releases of the Week” and wrote, “ Bia is cool, calm, and unbothered on the fiery “COVER GIRL”.”

ABOUT BIA
Spitting with agile aggression, dropping clever observations, and pouncing like a panther on every beat, BIA rips through rap with a feral intensity. Acclaimed by the likes of Wonderland Magazine and Billboard and also streamed nearly half-a-billion times to date, the platinum-certified Boston-born and Los Angeles-based artist emerges as a fierce, fiery, and focused force.

In 2019, BIA teamed up with Russ for  “Best On Earth”. Not only did the song achieve platinum certification and reach #46 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on at Radio, but Rihanna also posted a video with “Best On Earth” playing in the background and declared it, “my new fav song.” Now, BIA continues her new chapter with EPIC with her latest release “Same Hands” featuring Chicago’s own Lil Durk.

BIA was also featured in this year’s Good American Spring 2020 clothing campaign and is the face of the Missguided x Sean John capsule collection for Fall 2020

With new music and partnerships on the horizon, BIA continues to show that 2020 is her year. 

(November 20, 2020 – Los Angeles, CA) – Continuing an unprecedented run of one anthem after another, Los Angeles-based multiplatinum-selling producer and DJ trio Captain Cutsreturn with a new single entitled “Stuck In My Head” [feat. AJ Mitchell] today. Get it HERE via Epic Records.

On the track, keys glow just beneath intimate verses as a glitchy bounce shuffles right into a hypnotic hook. Mitchell’s voice echoes on the chant, “You’re still stuck in my head,” as the production twists and turns through warbling feedback and a dancefloor-ready break. Once again, Captain Cuts surprise with an unpredictable soundscape complemented by a show-stopping vocal performance from AJ Mitchell. 

About the song, Captain Cuts said, “We worked with AJ last year and instantly clicked with him. Seeing as his voice takes every song he’s a part of to a new level, we were stoked he was down to collab on this.” AJ added, “I’d be lying if I said this song isn’t going to get stuck in your head. Sorry not sorry. I hope you enjoy our new tune ‘Stuck In My Head’ with my boys, Captain Cuts.”

Be on the lookout for the premiere of the music video very soon.

Recently, Captain Cuts joined forces with Matoma for “Beside You” [feat. Georgia Ku], delivering another genre-breaking collaboration and amassing nearly 5 million Spotify streams and counting thus far. Meanwhile, they closed out 2019 with the sizzling “Heat” [feat. Parson James] which garnered widespread critical acclaim. Billboard claimed, “Captain Cuts lay down an array of thunderous disco handclaps and neon-soaked bass under a powerhouse vocal performance.” E! touted the tune on The MixtapE! and went on to call it a “disco-kissed dance floor filler that more than lives up to its name.” At the same time, their RIAA Gold-certified blockbuster with NOTD and Felix Jaehn “So Close” [feat. Georgia Ku] continues to dominate streaming platforms, exceeding 300 million streams and counting.

The boys have kept considerably busy this year. Throughout 2020, they’ve produced and written for everyone from Conan Gray and Lennon Stella to Kygo and Keith Urban. At the same time, Captain Cuts cooked up all kinds of new music for themselves as well. 

CAPTAIN CUTS:

Captain Cuts is a multi-platinum selling songwriting, production, and DJ group based in Los Angeles. The trio is composed of Ben Berger, Ryan McMahon and Ryan Rabin (also a member of Grouplove). Together they have produced and written massive songs for artists such as Walk The Moon (“Shut Up And Dance” & “One Foot”), Bebe Rexha (“I Got You”), Grouplove (“Tongue Tied”), Tove Lo, Halsey, and The Chainsmokers, among others. Their songs have an aggregate of more than 1 billion streams and over five million sales. Their influence courses through popular culture and music at large. They joined forces with NOTD, Felix Jaehn, and Georgia Ku on the gold-certified crossover smash, “So Close.” The latter captured #1 at Dance Radio for multiple weeks and emerged as #1 song with the most airplay at Dance Radio for the year in addition to amassing over 300 million streams. Moreover, they lent their Midas touch as songwriters and producers to heavy-hitters such as Steve Aoki, Carly Rae Jepsen, and What So Not to Whethan, Blink-182, MARINA and many others.

AJ MITCHELL:

Sporting a slick and show-stopping voice, sharp songwriting chops, and endless charisma, AJ Mitchell emerges as a stylish and soulful new leading man for pop R&B. Born and raised in Belleville, IL, he went from uploading highly-trafficked covers on social media to personally writing and recording his 2017 breakout single “Used To Be.” Clocking over 115 million Spotify streams to date, the song paved the way for a deal with Volume 1 / Epic Records and saw AJ relocate to Los Angeles.

With over 100 million-plus streams on tracks such as “I Don’t Want You Back, “Girls”, “All My Friends”, “Talk So Much”, and “Move On” and nearly 7 million monthly listeners on Spotify, he’s cemented himself as 2020’s fastest rising star. Named a 2019 MTV Push artist and a 2019 Vevo LIFT artist and acclaimed by Billboard, Idolator, and Seventeen, he’s sold out numerous headline shows and performed on The Today Show and Good Day New York. Over the past year, his rapid rise only accelerated. AJ flexes his star power and vocal prowess on the Slow Dance EP. Preceded by “Move On” and the Top 40 single and title track “Slow Dance” [feat. Ava Max], his songwriting and show-stopping spirit once again take center stage on upbeat and undeniable new anthem “Out My Mind.” To date, AJ has had three songs in the Top 40 Pop Radio charts: “Girls”, “All My Friends” (#29), and “Slow Dance”. This past spring, AJ released his collaboration with Rich The Kid called “Spring Break”, and most recently unveiled his uplifting new single “Burn” in June. Now, he sets his sights on pop domination with every move as he gears up to release his highly anticipated debut full-length album Skyview.

The track received an official co-sign from singer/songwriter Lauv and was praised by the likes of Billboard, Forbes and Rolling Stone who marked it as a “song you need to know.”

Breaking the mold as his “fastest-growing” single to date, “happiness” has garnered over 4 million streams and continues its steady climb at Hot AC Radio.

In addition to the platinum breakthrough “if we never met” and “6 months,” love + everything else flaunts one anthemic bop after another. It kicks off with “let me let you go”where sunny melodies glide above a simmering bassline before a falsetto-spiked bridge and sweeping hook. “Parachute” takes flight with its lithe melody. Then, there’s “ilym” Reaching an emotional highpoint, soft piano underscores his heavenly high register on the hook, “I love you more.” Check out the full tracklisting below. 

His momentum only increases with each new banger. Idolator recently named John “one of the breakout stars of 2020,” while CelebMix proclaimed, “get ready for the rise of John K.”

‘SIX60 SATURDAYS’ RETURN JANUARY 2021 AS THE BAND EMBARKS ON TOUR DATES THROUGHOUT NEW ZEALAND

(November 13, 2020 – Los Angeles, CA) – Award-winning New Zealand-based powerhouse group, SIX60 debut a brand new track “Fade Away.” Get it HERE.

The release comes in tandem with the world premiere of their film SIX60: Till the Lights Go Out. An activation with Air New Zealand, the film will air on a dedicated flight from Aukland to Dunedin where attendees will get the chance to rub shoulders with the band, who will also be traveling on the service.

Following the World Premiere in the Air, SIX60: Till the Lights Go Out will hit theaters across Australia and New Zealand on November 26^th. The film tells the story of New Zealand’s biggest band, revealing their untold story of ambition and creative vulnerability.

November 13^th 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) – Pop songstress Liza Owen releases her brand new single and video for “Starry Eyed” via EPIC Records. 

LISTEN TO “STARRY EYED” HERE

WATCH “STARRY EYED” HERE

Smashed glasses and self-destruction, smeared lipstick and late-night booty calls: welcome to the messy, imperfect, tear-stained, yet darkly glamorous world of bright young thing Liza Owen. 

Half Cambodian, half English, Liza Owen spins pop upside down and all around, with defiantly unfiltered lyrics, undeniable melodies and unapologetic grit. Originally breaking into the business writing songs for the likes of Selena Gomez and BTS, this summer she has quietly been putting her very own inimitable stamp on music, first with her fiery debut single “Why Aren’t We Having Sex?” in the summer, and then with her second single “Getting Good”, a grungy, 90s tinged rock beast which explored the lengths we go to lead ourselves down the wrong paths. Hardly the stuff of most lightweight pop confections, one might say. 

All of which brings us neatly to her latest single, “Starry Eyed”, a glittery, wildly infectious anthem in waiting in which Owen lists, in unflinching detail, her most self-destructive tendencies before musing on “suicides and strange addictions…shameless is the new religion” over soaring choruses and gloriously sparkly pop hooks. It also comes accompanied by a brilliant black and white video featuring Owen on the back of a motorbike, pushing boundaries while racing towards oblivion. The visual is directed by Dylan Brewer.

Clash Magazine exclusively premiered the video earlier today and spoke with Liza about the song.  

In Owen’s words:

“Starry Eyed” was born at around 3am after staying up for 3 days straight at a writing trip with my crew ASL…it is a song about realizing that the dream is not as glamorous as people think it is – and neither is the road to get there. A lot of messed up things have happened to some of our icons but somehow we still want to be like them”. 

Owen has all the makings of a smart and deliciously subversive new star, one who stubbornly refuses to sand down her rough edges or present anything less than an image that is 100% authentic. In Owen’s own words: “I feel like my music is genuinely me. And all I want for my fans is to let them know that it’s okay to feel everything.”

Between cuts like “Grave Digger” [feat. Young Thug], “Walk Down” [feat. YG], and “Too Playa” [feat. Gunna] and skits from none other than Mike Epps. Beyond acclaim from HYPEBEAST and Lyrical Lemonade pondered, “I would not be surprised at all if Doe Boy begins to enter the class of mainstream rap stars because of it.” Streetz Need Me 2 rounded out a breakout year also highlighted by his appearance on Future’s “100 Shooters” also featuring Meek Mill.

“Trust me when I say that Bakar is one of the best musical talents that the London has to offer”

Lyrical Lemonade

October 30, 2020—London, UK—Bakar returns with his first new music in over a year. The London artist – who over the last few years has become one of the freshest and most vital new voices in global music – releases a new single “1st Time” today. Get it HERE. 

“1st Time” is accompanied by a video by director Hector Dockrill, famed for his work with Jorja Smith, Ray BLK, and Skepta among others. Watch it HERE.

Produced by Bakar and longtime collaborator Zach Nahome, “1st Time” is set to build on the global success of 2019’s Will You Be My Yellow? EP and its standout sleeper hit “Hell N Back”, which has been streamed over 100 million times to date and spent most of the year on the US alternative charts, where it is currently top 10. Earlier this summer, the song peaked at #1 on the Adult Alternative radio chart for two week, where  it broke a decade-long record set by Kings of Leon.

Much of Bakar’s music pays tribute to classic songwriting, full of warmth and wordplay. However, Bakar’s is an undeniably contemporary take, in part informed by his first generation British experience (“I make black music. We’re hip hop kids – everything comes from that place“) and a network of likeminded global collaborators and peers: whether collaborating with Kenny Beats, Dominic Fike and BENEE or absorbing knowledge from the likes of Skepta, A$AP Mob or Virgil Abloh. In contrast, he hasn’t had a phone for two years so he can always be focused on songwriting rather than social media, instead spending his time writing songs on the move, whether on the tube or walking the streets. “1st Time” is a perfect example of his unique approach: bursting with originality and uninhibited by nostalgia. 

Meanwhile, Bakar continues to work on a new album. The follow up to Badkid, his acclaimed 2018 debut album, will be released in 2021.

Hailing from East London, but residing between London and LA, Scribz has worked with artists such as Khalid, H.E.R., J Hus and Cardi B over the last few years, establishing himself as an acclaimed award-winning producer and songwriter, notably achieving two Grammy awards along the way. 

With an edgy sound that blends multi-genres with R&B and Rap, Scribz has introduced himself as an artist in his own right this year with the singles “East Side,” “Impress Me” feat. Headie One and “Mandy,” cementing himself as a name to watch. Having clocked up almost 4 million streams, he has received playlist support from the likes of 1Xtra and been tipped by the likes of Complex, Notion, GRM Daily and Flaunt. 

Building an impressive and unique body of work through each release, “On My Sleeve” is the final track to be released ahead of his debut EP, which is available as an instant grat with all pre-orders. With a smooth rap flow and a slick beat, it is a brooding track about not falling headfirst, complimented by the soulful stand out vocals of 19-year-old American singer-songwriter Kaash Paige. Scribz says; 

“I was the kind of person who used to always wear their heart on their sleeve, but that didn’t always work out for me, so now I tend to move with my guard up, as it’s safer that way. The song is a self-refection of that realization.”

“I had been listening to Kaash Paige’s “Parked Car Convos”, then I hit her up on insta, sent her the track, she f*cked with it and sent me over her verse, she killed in man, big up Kaash.”

Anticipation has been steadily building for debut EP Wish Me Luck. A musical statement of intent from Scribz, marking that moment before he made the switch to artist as well as producer, it will feature all four singles above alongside a host of brand-new unreleased tracks. 

While Wish Me Luck signifies the final part of Scribz’ first chapter, it’s just the start of the remarkable musical journey yet to come.
