DUA LIPA ANNOUNCES HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED THIRD ALBUM ‘RADICAL OPTIMISM’ OUT MAY 3RD

DUA LIPA ANNOUNCES  HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED THIRD ALBUM 

‘RADICAL OPTIMISM’ OUT MAY 3RD

 PRE-ORDER / PRE-SAVE HERE

Today, 3x GRAMMY and 7x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa announces her highly-anticipated third album, Radical Optimism. The album will be released May 3rd and consist of 11 songs including the euphoric club-ready track “Houdini” and recently released single “Training Season.” You can pre-order/pre-save Radical Optimism here.

Inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery, Radical Optimism is an album that taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. The hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings that previously threatened to crush your soul, become milestones as you choose optimism and start to move with grace through the chaos.

Rolling Stone has called the album “pop bliss,” while noting it is “uniquely and utterly Dua Lipa: confident dance pop full of witty Instagram-caption-ready one-liners.”

Infused with the energy of Dua’s hometown, London, the attitude of the album embodies the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of ‘90s Britpop. Radical Optimism transports its listener to a dreamy pop world rich in musicality, lyrically unapologetic and sonically liberating.

“A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism. It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life,” Dua shares. “It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions.”

Dua worked with a team of core collaborators throughout the project including Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker.

Earlier this month, Dua opened up the BRIT Awards with an electric performance of “Training Season” and subsequently took home her 7th BRIT Award for Best Pop Act. She also opened up the GRAMMY Awards this year, where she performed a medley of “Training Season,” “Dance The Night” and “Houdini.” Dua recently became the first female artist to have four songs each with over two billion streams on Spotify (“One Kiss,” “Don’t Start Now,” “New Rules” and “Levitating”).

TWENTY ONE PILOTS – “OVERCOMPENSATE”

GRAMMY® Award winning duo Twenty One Pilots have announced details of their new album, Clancy, which will be released May 17th via Fueled By Ramen [album artwork / tracklist below].  Today, the band has shared the forthcoming album’s first single, “Overcompensate,” which is available on all streaming platforms and accompanied by an official music video directed by longtime collaborator Reel Bear Media.  Clancy marks Twenty One Pilots’ first studio album in three years and follows their RIAA Gold certified LP, Scaled And Icy.

With details of the release teased to fans earlier this month via cryptic mailings and covert artswaps on streaming services, “Overcompensate” welcomes listeners back to the band’s immersive world of ‘Trench.’ Layers of synths build over a racing breakbeat in the song – a skilled passage of alternative dynamics, flexing in time, and ready to explode.

Introducing a new era of Twenty One Pilots, Clancy is available for pre-order today in a variety of physical formats including: two limited-edition deluxe box sets, four vinyl variants with additional retailer exclusives, an exclusive CD + Journal Book and a Cassette + Photocard Wallet, and much more. For the full suite of Clancy pre-order offerings, visit Twenty One Pilots’ official store.

Having amassed over 33 billion streams worldwide and over 3 million tickets sold across global headline tours, the Columbus, OH based duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have established themselves as one of the most successful bands of the 21st century and redefined the sound of a generation.  Co-produced by Joseph and Paul Meany, Clancy marks the final chapter in an ambitious multi-album narrative first introduced in the band’s 2015 multi-Platinum breakthrough, Blurryface.  Furthermore, Clancy’s forthcoming release on May 17th coincides with the 9th anniversary of Blurryface, which was released exactly nine years prior to the day.

Twenty One Pilots extended the ambitious concept laid out in Blurryface with their 2018 Platinum-certified album TRENCH.  Featuring the multi-Platinum and Platinum singles “Chlorine,” “My Blood” and the GRAMMY® Award-nominated “Jumpsuit,” the album graced spots on “Best of” year-end lists by BillboardKERRANG!Alternative Press, and Rock Sound—who placed it at #1.

The duo’s 2021 epic Scaled And Icy debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top “Rock Albums” and “Alternative Albums” charts while landing at No. 3 on the “Billboard 200,” marking the biggest opening week for a rock album in 2021. The record is highlighted by the #1 Alternative Radio hits “The Outside,” “Saturday,” and “Shy Away,” the latter of which ascended to #1 at the format in just three weeks, placing the duo in an elite group of acts with multiple songs to rise to #1 at the format in three weeks or less including: U2, R.E.M., The Cure, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Foo Fighters.

LIAM GALLAGHER JOHN SQUIRE // THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM IS OUT NOW

LIAM GALLAGHER JOHN SQUIRE // THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM IS OUT NOW

FEATURING THE FOCUS TRACK ‘RAISE YOUR HANDS’

 

SOLD-OUT HEADLINE TOUR STARTS THIS MONTH

“The best record either has made in decades.” **** – Mojo

“A triumph of style and mood… well worthy of their enduring legacies.” **** – NME

“Hugely enjoyable swagger from two all-out greats.” – Clash

“Sounds like a cross between their former bands – and their fans will love it.” – The Guardian

“The ultimate supergroup.” ***** – Retropop

“Liam Gallagher and John Squire proves that some gods still have the voices to make your soul shake, and the music to make your heart sing.” – Louder Than War

When rumours first circulated of a possible collaboration between Liam Gallagher and John Squire, the question on everybody’s lips was: what would it sound like? And when they launched the project with ‘Just Another Rainbow’ and then ‘Mars To Liverpool’, the answer was satisfyingly simple: exactly like what you’d want it to sound like. Now the duo more than live up to expectations as they release their self-titled debut album.

The album’s opening track ‘Raise Your Hands’ is an immediate statement of intent. A stomping glam-rock moment that Liam has compared to Roxy Music with a little Stonesy piano for good measure, it surges with an unrestrained energy that sounds as natural and liberated as if they had just stepped on stage. And as an opening one-two with ‘Mars To Liverpool’ its clear that the pair have put their full passion into the set.

That vibrancy remains consistent throughout, whether they’re exploring melancholy moments that reflect some of Oasis and Liam’s solo slowburners (‘One Day At A Time’) or chiming melodies that echo early Stone Roses (‘Just Another Rainbow’), while John’s maelstrom of riffs and fluid leads at times feel like a natural succession to ‘Second Coming’ (especially ‘Love You Forever’). Yet it also simmers with flashes of their key ‘60s and ‘70s influences too: a dash of Sex Pistols power with some Hendrix flair and a touch of The Faces’ swaggering rock ‘n’ roll.

The album sessions were completed with the assistance of Liam’s regular producer Greg Kurstin, who also performed bass, and drummer Joey Waronker (BeckR.E.M., Atoms For Peace).

 

Physical copies of the album are available HERE. The duo’s official store offers a range of album and merch bundles, while limited quantities remain of the recently launched zoetrope picture disc from Blood Records.

Liam and John will take the album on the road later this month during a tour which instantly sold-out. Joey Waronker will also perform in the live band which is completed by Barrie Cadogan (Little BarriePaul Weller) on bass and Christian Madden on keys. Jake Bugg is special guest at all shows except for Brooklyn. The shows are:

Cardi and Offset also appeared in McDonald’s 2023 Super Bowl Commercial, announcing the first-ever celebrity duo meal.

“IN THE END” RECEIVES RIAA DIAMOND (10X MILLION) CERTIFICATION

PAPERCUTS TO BE RELEASED APRIL 12TH ON WARNER RECORDS

COLLECTION FEATURES NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED

TRACK “FRIENDLY FIRE” FROM

ONE MORE LIGHT-ERA

LISTEN HERE

February 23, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) – Assembling an essential collection of generational anthems, LINKIN PARK will present their first-ever career-spanning greatest hits album entitled Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000-2023) on April 12TH via Warner Records.

Pre-order/Pre-save HERE. It will be available at all DSPs and in various physical configurations, including CD, Cassette, and double Vinyl. For the latter, there are several limited edition color vinyl variants, a Zoetrope picture disc and black vinyl.

The fan enthusiasm and fervor for both Hybrid Theory (20TH Anniversary Edition) in 2020 and Meteora (20TH Anniversary Edition) last year ultimately inspired the band to curate and carefully piece together what would become Papercuts. It offers a comprehensive retrospective of their journey so far in the span of one album highlighted by everything from “Crawling” and “Somewhere I Belong” to the sought-after rarity “QWERTY.

In addition to the classics, LINKIN PARK uncovered the never-before-released track “Friendly Fire.” Recorded during the 2017 sessions for their seventh album One More Light, it features a powerhouse vocal performance from the late Chester Bennington. The video was directed and edited by long-time collaborator Mark Fiore and features never-before-seen studio and live footage – watch HERE. Cinematic keys and a delicate beat underline emotionally charged verses as humming guitar uplifts the introspective chorus, “We’re pulling apart for no reason, we’re pulling a trigger in a useless war…what are we fighting for.” It embodies the style, soul, and spirit of classic LP.

About “Friendly Fire” Brad Delson added, “‘Friendly Fire’ was always one of our favorite songs from the One More Light sessions. Something about it wasn’t quite right so as close as it got to the finish line, we chose to set it aside for later. When we started looking for an unreleased track to include on our greatest hits collection, I was blown away by the power of the song, the power of the storytelling, the power of the vocal, the sonic landscape and I actually thought that it was closer than maybe we had realized at the time.

We got together to work on it and connect some of the missing pieces that for whatever reason hadn’t revealed themselves during the recording of One More Light. I can’t wait for people to hear it. It’s such a beautiful, compelling, heartbreaking, hopeful story and it really resonates with me today.”

Said Mike Shinoda, “In the making of each Linkin Park album, I want to love and believe in each individual song completely. I hope that if any one track is heard on its own in the world, it is something I can feel proud of, and something that takes root inside the listener and becomes part of the energy that connects us.

Curating the tracks for Papercuts was a joy. Each song in this collection is both a singular moment on our timeline and an evolving story that is as much ours as it is yours. From our first release ‘One Step Closer’ to the brand-new ‘Friendly Fire,’ this tracklist spans all our chapters so far. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We hope you enjoy Papercuts.”

Additionally, “In The End” just achieved a Diamond Certification (10x Million) from the RIAA. It stands out as the band’s most-streamed song with over 1.8 billion Spotify streams and 1.7 billion YouTube views on the music video. This marks their first Diamond Certification for a single. It notably graces the tracklisting of their 12x-platinum Diamond-Certified full-length debut, Hybrid Theory.

In 2023, LINKIN PARK unleashed Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition. It soared to #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, Top Rock Albums Chart, Top Catalog Albums Chart, and Top Vinyl Albums Chart in addition to landing in the Top 3 of the Top Album Sales Chart and vaulting into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 at #8. Not to mention, the single “Lost” took flight as the biggest rock song of 2023 and earned the “first #1 debut on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay Chart in over a decade! Simultaneously, it became the band’s highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 entry since 2012, bowing at #38! Thus far, it has amassed over 166 million Spotify streams and 78 million YouTube views on the stunning music videoMeteora 20th Anniversary Edition was chronicled and celebrated by The New York Times, The FADERThe Howard Stern ShowKROQ, and more.

SIR ROD STEWART & JOOLS HOLLAND RELEASE ‘SWING FEVER’ IS OUT NOW

Sir Rod Stewart & Jools Holland Releases ‘Swing Fever’
Their brand new collaborative studio album is out now.

LISTEN OR BUY SIGNED ALBUMS HERE

Today Sir Rod Stewart and Jools Holland with his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra have released the exquisite Swing Fever – a 13-track sparkling salute to the timeless songs of the big band years, reignited by two true giants of their craft.For the first time, Britain’s new partners in swing have united on record to share their peerless dexterity on a tribute to such truly great songs as ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’‘Almost Like Being In Love’‘Pennies From Heaven’ and ‘Lullaby Of Broadway’.

Having already appeared on The One Show, as well as turning in stunning performances for Radio 2’s Piano Room this week, excitement for the record has hit fever pitch. This weekend will also see a performance on Dancing on Ice on Sunday, ITV1 at 18:30.

Swing Fever is the realisation of conversations between Rod and Jools that began in the pandemic years, and of Rod’s dream of making an album of the songs that were, in many ways, the rock ‘n’ roll of their day.  Sitting down together, Jools recounts: “I was just packing up to go away for Christmas, and you rang me. We hadn’t really spoken at any length before. I thought ‘I love Rod, how exciting,’ and you said ‘I want to do a record.’ I’d been a fan of Rod forever but we realised with the old music that we liked a lot of the same things.”

Over roughly a dozen collective sessions, the intimacy of the recording space combined with the enduring brilliance of the songbook to create a sound that’s infectious and irresistible – and it sounds live because that’s what it was.

Rod Stewart is one of the best-selling artists, with over 250 million albums sold worldwide. His signature voice, style and songwriting have transcended all genres of popular music, from rock, folk, soul, R&B, and even the Great American Songbook; making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums throughout every decade of his career. He’s earned countless of the industry’s highest awards, among them, two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, New York Times bestselling author, Grammy™ Living Legend, and in 2016 he officially became “Sir Rod Stewart” after being knighted at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.

Some of his major hits include “Gasoline Alley,” “Every Picture Tells a Story,” “Mandolin Wind,” “You Wear It Well,” “The Killing of Georgie,” “Tonight’s the Night,” “You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim),” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?,” “Young Turks,” “Forever Young,” “Hot Legs,” “Infatuation,” the unforgettable “Maggie May,” and many more.

Jools sums up the spontaneous charm of Swing Fever“The effect that this music has on me, and whenever I put it on where people are, they feel this thing, they want to move. Music is an expression of a lot of different things, and joy is an important part of what it does. You can feel the joy in this music, and it’s unashamed joy as well.”

Swing Fever is available on Black Vinyl, Colour Vinyl, cassette, CD & Digital – purchase  HERE

GLOBAL POP SUPERSTAR DUA LIPA RELEASES NEW SINGLE “TRAINING SEASON” – OUT NOW

GLOBAL POP SUPERSTAR DUA LIPA RELEASES NEW SINGLE TRAINING SEASON

WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO HERE

Today, 3x GRAMMY and 6x BRIT Award-winning global pop superstar Dua Lipa releases Training Season,” the second single from her upcoming album, out later this year. Alongside the track, Dua has released the music video for Training Season,”.

Speaking of the track, Dua shares, I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw. The next morning I arrived to the studio to Caroline and Tobias asking me how it all went and I immediately declared TRAINING SEASON IS OVER,’ and like the best day after’ debriefs with your mates, we had a lot of laughs and it all quickly came together from there.” 

She added, And while it is obviously about that feeling when you are just absolutely done telling peoplemen specifically in this case, how to date you right; it is also about my training season being over and me growing with every experience. I have never felt more confident, clear or empowered. And while it may be that training season is never over for any of us, you start to see the beauty in finding that person to experience it with. You stop looking for the trainees and become more interested in having someone where you are and someone to grow with.

Directed by Vincent Haycock, the Training Season” video opens with Duas voicemail being flooded with apologetic messages and second chance requests. As the song continues, Dua sits alone while shes surrounded by men vying for her attention as the room begins to spin into chaos. Training Season” was written by Lipa, along with Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Tame Impalas Kevin Parker, and was produced by Parker and Harle.

Earlier this month, Dua kicked off the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards with an electric medley performance of Training Season,” “Dance The Night,” and Houdini,” which you can watch hereDua will return to the stage at the BRIT Awards on March 2nd, where shes nominated for three awards including Artist of the Year, Best Pop Act, and Song of the Year for Dance The Night.” 

In Duas recently revealed global Rolling Stone cover, her upcoming album was praised as pop bliss,” while noting it is uniquely and utterly Dua Lipa: confident dance pop full of witty Instagram-caption-ready one-liners.” In addition to Training Season,” the album will include Houdini,” which has now surpassed 300 million streams worldwide and was recently certified silver in the UK. Upon release, the single went straight to No. 1 on the UK Airplay charts making it Dua’s 11th No. 1 UK airplay record, and became the No. 1 music video in the world on YouTube the week of its release. The euphoric club-ready single garnered immediate praise across the board from the likes of Billboard and Rolling Stone, who lauded the track as a neo-psychedelic dance-floor rager,” to Pitchfork and Vogue, who called it a pop masterclass.” Recently, Dua became the first female artist to have three songs each with over two billion streams on Spotify (One Kiss,” “Don’t Start Now,” and New Rules”).
