POP-COUNTRY SENSATION DASHA RELEASES

 WHAT HAPPENS NOW? DELUXE

FIVE NEW TRACKS INCLUDING FOCUS SINGLE

 “BYE BYE BYE”

“AUSTIN (BOOTS STOP WORKIN’)” NOW CERTIFIED PLATINUM IN THE UNITED STATES AND SEVEN COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE

“[Austin] has become a sensation”

RollingStone

“One of the signature country songs of the year”

The New York Times

Los Angeles, CA (September 16, 2024) – One of the hottest breakout stars of 2024, RIAA Platinum certified pop-country sensation, Dasha, reups, recharges, and reignites her acclaimed album What Happens Now? with a brand new Deluxe Edition out now via Warner Records. Listen to What Happens Now? Deluxe HERE.

“I’ve never really felt at home in any other space until the Country genre. Releasing the deluxe version of What Happens Now? Feels like the end of an era,” says Dasha. “I’m really proud of this project and the chapter we created together and it has set me up for even better and brighter things in the future. The world of Country generously opened their arms so big for me and my debut. Artists like Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini and Keith Urban have really encouraged me to go bigger and bolder while doing what I love as a human and an artist. For that, I’ll be forever thankful.”

 

She notably expanded the record with five brand new tracks. Dasha’s latest single “Bye Bye Bye” serves up one of her catchiest choruses yet. Revolving around acoustic guitar and a thumping stomp, she wrestles with the ups and downs of a toxic relationship. Once the upbeat chorus kicks in, she gains the courage to move on, “So, I said bye, bye, bye. I might die if I try and love you any harder.” Watch Dasha literally drag her ex in the “Bye Bye Bye” music video HERE.

On “Leaving Don’t Mean Goodbye,” delicately plucked banjo accents Dasha’s smoky delivery. Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter’s storytelling takes center stage on “Way Too Drunk,” where she attempts to piece together a hazy night with a smile. Then, there’s “Ain’t No Friend of Mine” which plunges listeners headfirst into drama as it unfolds, “Honey you can have that man, it’s fine, but you ain’t no friend of mine.”

In other big news, the pop-country sensation’s mega-smash “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” just picked up a platinum certification from the RIAA in the United States and seven countries around the globe. All while Dasha continues her wildly successful Dashville, U.S.A tour. Later this fall, she is set to make stops in New York, Nashville, Los Angeles and more.

Meanwhile, “Didn’t I” has continued to pick up steam, reeling in north of 5.3 million Spotify streams and 1.3 million YouTube views on the music video. HOLLER Country hailed the track as “simply infectious,” going on to profess, “She only compounds her staying power, proving in less than three minutes that she’s a star who will only continue to rise from one release to the next.” Dasha initially debuted the song live on stage to a crowd of over 70,000 people at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, TN during CMA Fest.

Earlier this year, Dasha notably made her debut at the iconic Grand Ole Opry® in Nashville, TN. The milestone performance marked a significant moment in Dasha’s burgeoning career as she joined the ranks of artists like Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Lady A, Blake Shelton and many more who have graced the stage of Grand Ole Opry®. The singer-songwriter also performed at the 2024 CMT Awards, graced the carpet of the 2024 ACM Awards, and performed at Stagecoach, Hangout Music Festival, Lollapalooza, and more! She is slated to return to the 2025 Stagecoach Music Festival alongside names like Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, Lana Del Rey and more.

Beyond tallying over 10 billion views on TikTok, Dasha has quietly cemented herself as a force to be reckoned with. “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and staked out a spot in the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 at #19. Meanwhile, she scaled the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart to #2 with her album What Happens Now? peaking at #117 on the Billboard 200.

About Dasha:

Introspective and alluring are just a few of the prolific ways artist and songwriter Dasha has

been described. Armed with a passion for telling her true story, Dasha released her

debut country album, What Happens Now? in February. The focus track, “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” is being called “one of the signature songs of the year” by the New York Times. The track has not only garnered over 10 billion views on TikTok but has officially been RIAA-certified platinum in the U.S. and seven other countries around the world.

Dasha’s music is characterized by its authenticity, raw emotion, and relatability, mirroring her

genuine self-expression. Harkening back to her upbringing in San Luis Obispo, California, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter recalls being immersed in the world of country, folk, and Americana music from an early age. This credibility in her music has led Dasha to a place where her artistry truly thrives, creating a new era that marks a significant turning point in her career. She will embark on her debut headlining Dashville, U.S.A tour this fall and is set to return to Stagecoach Music Festival in April of next year with additional performances to be announced soon. After a whirlwind 2024 around the success of “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’),” 2025 is shaping up to be an even bigger year for the burgeoning country-pop sensation.

CHARLI XCX RELEASES ‘TALK TALK FEATURING TROYE SIVAN’ AND TEASES NEW VERSION OF ‘BRAT’ COMING OCTOBER 11

Written by Warner PR on . Posted in News.

 

“A masterpiece” – The Guardian – 5*

“One of the best pop albums of the year” – Pitchfork

“A perfect pop album” – Daily Telegraph – 5*

“It’s hard to overstate brat’s current chokehold on the culture at large” – Billboard

“Her most daring release yet” – New York Times

 

[Thursday 12th September, London]

Charli xcx has released ‘Talk talk featuring troye sivan’.

You can listen to ‘Talk talk featuring troye sivan’ HERE.

The new track will feature on ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’ – a brand new version of Charli’s critically acclaimed album – released on Friday 11th October via Atlantic Records.

You can pre-order ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’ HERE.

Charli released her sixth studio album ‘BRAT’ in June and has become the most critically acclaimed album of the year. ‘BRAT’ has also well and truly made its mark on the cultural zeitgeist; the audacious campaign has seen Charli cause roadblocks around the world with her pop-up ‘PARTYGIRL’ DJ sets, break the internet with viral videos and surprise collaborations with the likes of Billie Eilish, Lorde, Addison Rae, Robyn, Yung Lean, Julia Fox, Chloë Sevigny, and Rachel Sennott and introduce a new tone of green to the social lexicon. ‘BRAT’ peaked at #2 on the Official Irish Albums Chart.

The album has since been nominated for the Mercury Prize 2024 while ‘Guess featuring Billie Eilish’ debuted at Number 1 on the UK Official Singles Charts in August, making Charli the first British artist to land at the top of the singles charts this year.

Charli will be embarking on her biggest ever headline shows in arenas throughout the UK in November and December as well as teaming up with longtime collaborator Troye Sivan for their highly anticipated co-headline US arena tour ‘Charli XCX & Troye Sivan Present: Sweat’ which kicks off this weekend. Limited tickets can be found HERE.

In February, Charli kickstarted the ‘BRAT’ campaign with a momentous Boiler Room in New York’s Brooklyn with A. G. Cook, George Daniel, Finn Keane and Doss. The show broke the record for the most ever RSVPs to a Boiler Room event, with over 40k people registering to attend. Featuring special guest appearances from the likes of Addison Rae and Julia Fox, the show quickly became one of the viral moments of the year. You can watch the full stream of ‘Boiler Room & Charli XCX Presents: PARTYGIRL’ HERE.

Alongside her new album, Charli has been working on multiple film & TV projects following the breakout success of her Barbie soundtrack contribution ‘Speed Drive’ last year. She is co-executive producing the score for the A24 film ‘Mother Mary’ with Jack Antonoff and also producing original music for Benito Skinner’s series ‘Overcompensating’ on Prime Video. In addition, Charli will star in the Daniel Goldhaber remake of 1978 cult horror film ‘Faces of Death’ and Greg Araki’s erotic thriller ‘I Want Your Sex’.

Avant-pop and electronic superstar Charli xcx has become an iconic figure in the arts, having helped expand the landscape of popular music over the last decade by seamlessly traversing the underground and mainstream with her artistic output. Over the course of a trailblazing career, the multi-hyphenate creative has earned critical acclaim for her innovative style and entrepreneurial spirit and seen her forward-thinking approach reshape pop culture in the process.

Her lasting impact was cemented last year when Charli was honoured with the Visionary Award at the annual Ivor Novellos in London, while she also received the Powerhouse Award at Billboard’s Women In Music ceremony in March and the ASCAP Global Impact Award in May.

TEDDY SWIMS RETURNS WITH BRAND NEW SINGLE “BAD DREAMS” OUT NOW

Written by Warner PR on . Posted in News.

TEDDY SWIMS RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE

“BAD DREAMS”

LISTEN HERE |

4x MTV VMA NOMINATIONS INCLUDING BEST NEW ARTIST

PERFORMED “LOSECONTROL,” “THE DOOR,” AND A RENDITION OF RIHANNA’S “STAY” AT THE MTV VMA’s THIS WEEK 

September 13, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, chart-topping hitmaker Teddy Swims ushers in a fresh era with new single “Bad Dreams.” Listen HERE via Warner Records and watch the video HERE.

“Bad Dreams” builds on the momentum of his global smash hit “Lose Control,” which he performed earlier this week on the MTV VMA Extended Play stage, along with his current charting single “The Door” and a rendition of Rihanna’s “Stay.” He was nominated for four awards at the show, including Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Best Alternative, and PUSH Performance of the Year.

2024 has been a whirlwind for Swims, who celebrated the success of his chart-conquering hit “Lose Control” from his debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). In addition to claiming the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and reached #1 Airplay here in Ireland, the song has amassed over 2.2 billion global streams, reached #1 on five radio formats (Top 40, Hot AC, AC, R&B, and Rhythm), and was recently inducted into Spotify’s “Billions Club.”

On top of that, Swims is currently making his way across the US on his sold-out I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy tour, including performances at both weekends of Austin City Limits Festival. See all dates below and click HERE for tickets.

Putting in real work for years, a quiet, yet steady grind brought Swims to the forefront of popular culture as a tried-and-true star without comparison. Teddy started to gain notoriety after posting covers online in 2019 — such as Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” and Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One” — gaining hundreds of millions of views, leading to his signing to Warner Records in 2020. He tirelessly honed his voice and songwriting across EPs such as Unlearning [2021], Tough Love [2022], and Sleep Is Exhausting [2022]. He showcased his sky-high range by collaborating with artists such as Maren Morris, Meghan Trainor, X Ambassadors, Thomas Rhett, ILLENIUM, Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren, and Matoma. He made a statement with I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) in 2023, and wrapped up a prolific run by releasing a Live Version of the album alongside his band Freak Freely at the top of 2024.

Now, with “Bad Dreams,” Swims ups the ante with an undeniable anthem that underlines his status as one of music’s most exciting new artists.

AMBLE BRAND NEW SINGLE ‘LITTLE WHITE CHAPEL’ OUT TODAY

Written by Warner PR on . Posted in News.

 

“LITTLE WHITE CHAPEL” THE BRAND NEW SINGLE OUT NOW

LISTEN HERE

FOLLOWING AN ELECTRIC PICNIC SET FOR 10,000 FANS &

AHEAD OF THEIR SOLD-OUT IRISH, UK & AMERICAN TOUR


 

 Amble, the trio of accomplished musicians and song-writers, Robbie Cunningham, Oisin McCaffrey and Ross Mc Nerney release their brand new single “Little White Chapel” today.

LISTEN HERE

The new single follows a triumphant and packed out Electric Arena tent at this year’s Electric Picnic, with over 10,000 fans in attendance with an overflow of people queuing to get in – a remarkable feat for the band, who only came together just under two years ago. Known for their honest, moving and relatable lyricism along with incredible musicianship, Amble continue to grow and wow a loyal and dedicated fan base across the country, having sold 20’000 tickets globally this year. Later this month, the band kick-start their SOLD-OUT US, UK and Ireland tour through to December. Please see the full list of shows below.

“Little White Chapel” is just a taste of more music to come. The track was composed in June of 2024 and recorded in Ireland’s famed studio, Grouse Lodge Recording Studios the same month.

Written by all three members, they explain; ‘the song conveys the story of two lovers, an intimate reflection on the power of a connection and love. Beginning with one speaking in the third person critiquing themselves, their own morals, their own life decisions, their own courage and regrets. The narrative swiftly changes however when two lovers meet. The story from both sides, the overwhelming rush of emotion when you first fall in love and feel like you have found “the one”. The feeling of not remembering what it was like before this person fell into your life. The excitement, the passion, the unknowing fueling the two lovers to question their next step “why walk when we can run?” and having only just met decide to run away together and get married in a “Little White Chapel”.

The song moves from each lover’s perspective, one can be completely and utterly enthralled and convinced by the other, but how they have spent their life “blowing dreams and cigarettes”,  and now for the other lover they are all in,  “put the lighter down and cashed in all his bets”.

The story ends on a much more hopeful tone than it begins. The two lovers were lucky enough to find someone they truly consider to be their soul mates and were able to leave behind past lives, run away and begin a new story together.

ABOUT AMBLE

Amble are Robbie Cunningham, Oisin McCaffrey and Ross Mc Nerney, a three-piece ensemble of songwriters hailing from the Midlands and West of Ireland. Amble’s debut EP, 2023’s Amble (Live), introduced a new, musing, trad-tinged trio of songwriters to the Irish music scene, followed by 2024’s highly distinctive Of Land and Sea, which finds the group expanding their sound to an ever-more global audience. The unique perspective of three individual songwriters creates a peerless body of work – built on the now familiar, ruminative observations on the world and more fitting to the Amble journey – the stories unfolding each day within it.

LINKIN PARK ANNOUNCE NEW MUSIC AND TOUR

LINKIN PARK ANNOUNCE NEW MUSIC AND TOUR:

TUNE-IN NOW FOR GLOBAL LIVESTREAM PERFORMANCE HERE

FIRST NEW MUSIC IN SEVEN YEARS “THE EMPTINESS MACHINE”: LISTEN HERE

STAY TUNED FOR PREMIERE OF JOE HAHN-DIRECTED VIDEO IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING LIVESTREAM HERE

LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK, HAMBURG, LONDON, SEOUL & BOGOTA ARENA SHOWS ON SALE BEGINNING SATURDAY HERE

NEW ALBUM FROM ZERO ARRIVES NOVEMBER 15

September 5, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) – LINKIN PARK—Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix, Joe Hahn, alongside new members Emily Armstrong [of critically acclaimed band Dead Sara] as co-vocalist and Colin Brittain [songwriter/producer for G Flip, Illenium, One OK Rock] as drummer—share their first brand new music in seven years.

The iconic band shared a deluge of treats for fans: a new single (HERE) and video (premiering HERE at 4pm PT/7pm ET), for “The Emptiness Machine,” plus a global livestream performance (happening now HERE and available only for 24 hours), and the launch of 6 upcoming arena shows in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul, and Bogota as part of the From Zero World Tour. LP Underground fan club exclusive pre-sales start September 6 and general on-sales September 7. Go to LinkinPark.com for more info.

These surprises herald the arrival of LINKIN PARK’s first album since 2017, FROM ZERO, on November 15. Pre-order/Pre-save HERE via Warner Records.

Tomorrow, Friday September 6th, the band joins long-time friend and Apple Music host Zane Lowe for an in-depth candid conversation about the incredible legacy of Linkin Park, the 7-year long journey to new music and their excitement for the future. Fans can tune in at 6AM PT to watch the full interview HERE.

Without expectations, Shinoda, Delson, Farrell, and Hahn quietly began meeting up again in recent years. Rather than “trying to restart the band,” their instinct was to simply spend more time together, and reconnect with the creativity and camaraderie that has been at the core of their friendship since college. During this time, they invited various friends and cohorts to join them in the studio; among the guests, they found a special kinship with Armstong and Brittain. A natural chemistry drew these musicians back into its gravitational pull as they logged more and more hours in the studio. It was the sound of lifelong musicians rediscovering the uncontainable energy of a new beginning once again. Over this season, FROM ZERO was born.

About the new era, Shinoda stated, “Before LINKIN PARK, our first band name was Xero. This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking. Sonically and emotionally, it is about past, present, and future—embracing our signature sound, but new and full of life. It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and longtime bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans. We are proud of what LINKIN PARK has become over the years, and excited about the journey ahead.”

 

Right out of the gate, “The Emptiness Machine” channels the DNA of LINKIN PARK, harnessing the band’s explosive energy and retaining the hallmarks of their instantly identifiable and inimitable sound. A chameleonic and catchy anthem, Shinoda’s hypnotic melodies hand off to Armstrong’s blistering chorus, over distorted riffs and head-nodding drums.

Shinoda elaborated, “The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company, and the things we created. We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energized new music we’ve made together. We’re weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones.”

Ultimately, with FROM ZERO, the band is looking to harness the purest energy of their past, present, and future. The new era has officially begun.

A new spin on Gillies’ breakthrough viral favorite, “Lagoon,” and already a fan favorite after being featured in his live sets all summer long, “Right Here All Along (Feat.

Hannah Boleyn).” The track proved Gillies’ biggest success thus far with more than 127M worldwide streams and over 100M creations on TikTok to date, rocketing the track to the upper reaches of US Dance Radio airplay rankings as well as the top 10 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart. What’s more, “DNA” received Platinum certification in the UK fueled by A-listed airplay across British commercial radio outlets like BBC Radio 1, Kiss, and Capital Radio while peaking at #2 on iTunes, #6 on Shazam, #13 on Apple Music, #19 on Spotify, and #22 at Amazon Music.

 

Increasingly known as a globetrotting mainstage superstar, Billy Gillies has taken to stages all over the world, including North America, Asia, Australia, South America, the UK, and Europe.

To listen to Northern Irishman Billy Gillies is to capture true joy, because everything he touches radiates pure passion and vibrant spirit. Billy’s musical obsession started in the 2000s when his sister started buying Clubland compilation CDs and dating a local DJ. 11-year-old Billy snuck into his sister’s room to play with her boyfriend’s turntables. At 17, Billy talked his way into a club and started dreaming of his own chance to rock a crowd. He taught himself Ableton Live and started sending his tracks to BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules, who played them on his show every Friday night.

 

At 28, Billy earned a spot on the lineup of Luminosity 2019 alongside major trance legends Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery and more. He played a set of all-original material, and a recording posted to Soundcloud earned more plays than any of the headliners. International booking requests flooded in, sending him to Argentina to Australia—and then COVID struck. Billy saw this as a chance to experiment.

 

In 2022, he self-released “Lagoon” and it changed the course of his life. A perfect distillation of the Eurodance hooks that brought Billy to Clubland in the early 2000s, the track heightens those bright and bouncy hallmarks with a decidedly modern edge that has come to define the Billy Gillies style.

 

“I love what I do,” Billy Gillies says. “I’m proud of the way I built up my career by myself. To see so many comments like ‘wow, that’s the first time I’ve seen you play, and you’ve got a fan for life.’ I haven’t jumped straight up to the top. I’ve gradually built me fan base through the years. I enjoy the process of building step by step, not stressing out on the final outcome, and just enjoying each day as it comes.”

The Blessed Madonna has joined forces with trailblazing pop icon, Kylie, on the hugely-anticipated ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’ — listen HERE.

The Blessed Madonna headlines the Smirnoff stage on Friday night at 10.30pm.

 

Teased for the last few weeks and while the duo were together in Ibiza, ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’ was first conceived as an idea on the cusp of lockdown back in 2020 and inspired by a DJ set in Berlin. The song took almost four years to fully crystalize as a record, with the addition of Kylie’s vocals breathing new life into the track — now a centerpiece of The Blessed Madonna’s forthcoming debut album, ‘Godspeed’.

 

“This story is about edges”, explains The Blessed Madonna. “When I was given the opportunity to begin an album, we were on the edge of lockdown. When I sat down to write lyrics for the very first time, I was on the edge of a brand new life. When I programmed and wrote the music that would become this song, I was on the edge of the next big leap into producing. When I made the friends, who became the lifeblood of this record, I was on the edge of a world of love and creativity that I barely hoped to dream of.

 

And so it’s fitting that this song is about an equally important edge in my life. It was a morning that magically turned into night. It was a dawn when instead of the party ending, we shut the blinds and began again. It might have been a beautiful February Monday, but in a very special room in Berlin, we found ourselves again on the edge of a Saturday night.

 

But that’s just where the story begins.

 

You see, then there was Kylie. Yes THE Kylie. When she came into my life through this song, it was even more surprising than dawn turning to dusk. She breathed an energy into Edge and into me. So here we are together, Marge and Kiki… and all of you are invited.

 

Start again.

Shut the blinds.

Let the music save your life.

We’re on the edge of a Saturday night.”

 

After meeting for the first time in person in Ibiza last month, the pair immediately struck up a friendship, with Kylie scaling the DJ booth at DC-10 during The Blessed Madonna’s set at Circoloco and following suit at legendary Ibiza hotel, Pikes — setting for Wham!’s classic 1983 ‘Club Tropicana’ video — where the duo continued the party the following night. Kylie and The Blessed Madonna embraced the storied music heritage of the hotel, choosing Pikes’ iconic swimming pool and Freddie’s Club as fitting backdrops for the forthcoming official video.

 

Kylie says: “Almost 30 years after my first stay at Pikes Hotel in Ibiza, it was a total joy to revisit this iconic destination. I loved sharing this unforgettable moment with The Blessed Madonna and am so happy the excitement and energy of this hot August club adventure was captured in the video for ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’. I was so delighted to be asked by Marea to be part of this track and can’t wait for fans to hear it.”

 

Landing as the latest single from The Blessed Madonna’s 24-track debut LP, ‘Godspeed’ — due for release on October 11th — ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’ already bears all the hallmarks of an iconic, summer-defining record. Look out for the official video launching on Friday 23rd August at 12pm midday BST.

 

The accompanying single artwork — the third image to be revealed from Godspeed’s overall creative direction, overseen by acclaimed DIY bootlegger artists, Sports Banger — is also a talking point. Tapping back into the album and its twin flames of rave and religion, the image pays homage to the unlikely duality between tent revival Pentecostal Christianity and underground rave culture.
