KOJEY RADICAL ANNOUNCES SOPHOMORE ALBUM, “DON’T LOOK DOWN” WITH NEW SINGLE, “CONVERSATION”

LIZZO DROPS UNEXPECTED MIXTAPE MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING
FEATURING POWERHOUSE COLLABORATIONS FROM DOJA CAT AND SZA

Fresh off the success of her viral freestyle “YITTY ON YO TITTYS” multi-platinum, Grammy and Emmy Award–winning artist Lizzo drops a surprise new rap mixtape, MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING, out now via Atlantic Records. The 13-track mixtape continues a fearless new chapter, showcasing her evolution as a songwriter and artist, fusing sharp lyricism, humor, and hard-earned independence into a sound that feels both fresh and unmistakably Lizzo. It’s a vibrant, no-holds-barred reintroduction that sets the tone for summer and solidifies Lizzo’s place in hip-hop.  Listen HERE.

The project opens with the song “CRASHOUT,” in Lizzo’s signature tone, with a bold delivery and undeniable confidence. Anchored by the line “They just mad ’cause I got motion like a roller coaster,” the track is a reflection of her ability to shrug off the noise, blending confidence and wit with ease. Fun and unapologetic, it arrives just in time for summer with a chant-like hook “We outside, hoe” that’s already making waves on social media and becoming a standout from the project.

Also featured is “STILL CANT FUH”, a collaboration with Doja Cat that Lizzo recently teased on TikTok. The track pairs sharp, self-assured verses with a driving beat, spotlighting the two artists and their refusal to be defined by expectations. Another standout, “IRL” featuring SZA, delivers a vibey, dance-forward moment that Lizzo first previewed on Instagram last week. The two have effortless chemistry, with Lizzo’s commanding delivery paired with SZA’s signature blend of melodic vocals and rap-inflected verses.

The mixtape also includes the viral “YITTY ON YO TITTYS (FREESTYLE),”. Named after Lizzo’s inclusive shapewear brand, the track is a raw and rhythm-forward reminder of Lizzo’s roots in freestyle and performance.

With MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING, Lizzo leans into her versatility as a writer, rapper, and performer. While she’s best known for her chart-topping pop hits and feel-good anthems, Lizzo’s no stranger to rap, and it has always been part of her sound. This project taps back into those roots, blending hip-hop, R&B, and alternative vibes, all while keeping her signature style and voice at the forefront.

In February, he delivered a show-stopping performance of his break-through smash hit “Beautiful Things” at the 67th annual Grammy Awards, where he was nominated for Best New Artist. The hitmaker took over the Coachella main stage in April, where he brought out surprise guest Brian May of Queen for an acclaimed, viral performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Boone’s 5x-Platinum hit “Beautiful Things” was the #1 most streamed song in the world last year, earning the IFPI Global Single Award for 2024. The chart-conquering track has now surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify and over 4 billion total streams since its release last year. Most recently, it broke the record for the longest run of a single music video on YouTube’s US Music Video Chart, with over 70 consecutive weeks and counting.

Featured on his acclaimed, Platinum certified debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, the viral smash logged an impressive 7 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, hit #1 at Top 40, Hot AC, and AC radio, and vaulted to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“Florence Road are set to be the breakout band of 2025” – DORK

“Overflowing with confidence and an innate knack for big songwriting” – NME

“A band to get behind with urgency” – The Line Of Best Fit

“Florence Road are making a name for themselves” – PAPER Magazine

 

[Friday 20th June, London]

Florence Road today release their highly anticipated debut mixtape ‘Fall Back’.

To celebrate, they have also revealed the official video for ‘Goodnight.’

You can watch the Owen Kasparian directed video HERE.

You can listen to ‘Fall Back’ HERE.

‘Goodnight,’  a drum-driven track that bursts with energy and features an anthemic chorus made for singalongs at live shows, appears on the Fall Back mixtape alongside previous singles ‘Heavy,’ ‘Caterpillar,’ and ‘Figure It Out.’

The ‘Fall Back’ mixtape is an addictive musical rollercoaster that confidently articulates the feelings involved with being young – the highs, the lows and the sheer intensity of it all. In the spirit of original Irish creativity, ‘Fall Back’ sounds fresh and modern; an innovative but effortless blend of rock subgenres from the haziness of grunge to the slick riffs of indie rock. Their sense of humour is rarely lost as they delve deep into emotive, often melancholic music. It’s an impressively developed sound, one that feels both timeless and new, built on decades of rock tradition and culture, but unafraid to push boundaries.

The release caps off a huge few months for the band, who’ve rapidly emerged as one of the most important new acts of the moment. With a DORK magazine cover under their belt and standout performances at SXSW London, The Great Escape, and beyond, their momentum shows no signs of slowing. Just last night, they played a sold-out hometown show in Dublin to celebrate the release of the mixtape. They’ve been supporting sombr on select European shows and later this month, they’ll join Olivia Rodrigo at Dublin’s Marlay Park (June 24) and BST Hyde Park in London (June 27), before heading into a packed summer of festival slots and August tour dates with Wallows.

Florence Road are a four-piece from Wicklow, Ireland. Made up of childhood friends Lily Aron (Vocals), Emma Brandon (Guitar), Ailbhe Barry (Bass) and Hannah Kelly (Drums), the band spent their teens perfecting their craft in Aron’s garden shed, refining a sound that is as influenced by icons like The Cranberries as it is contemporary peers such as Wolf Alice and Phoebe Bridgers.  However, while influences can indeed be heard, Florence Road instantly sounds like someone new.

First capturing audience attention by posting covers online in their distinct style, the band have built up an ardent fan base with only a couple of official singles to their name, receiving early co-signs from Olivia Rodrigo and beabadoobee in the process.  The ‘Fall Back’ mixtape is an exciting collection of tracks that should serve as ample warning that Florence Road are set to establish themselves as one of the defining bands of their generation.

Florence Road 2025 Live Dates:

 

Sat 21/6/25 – Berlin, GE – Bürgerhaus Stollwerck – Supporting sombr

Tue 24/06/25 – Dublin, IE – Marlay Park – Supporting Olivia Rodrigo

 ED SHEERAN ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE ‘SAPPHIRE’ OUT NOW

LISTEN HERE

WATCH VIDEO HERE 

Ed Sheeran is new single, “Sapphire” is out now!  (Listen here).

Following the hedonistic, technicolor pop of “Azizam” and the classic, heartfelt nostalgia of “Old Phone”, Sheeran returns with “Sapphire”—a dazzling anthem of connection and unbridled joy. Radiating with vibrant pop energy and rich cross-cultural influences, the track is poised to make its mark on summer ‘25.

Sheeran’s “Sapphire” is a luminous celebration of love that transcends boundaries. Featuring captivating vocals, intricate South-Asian percussion, backing vocals and sitar by legendary Indian artist Arijit Singh, the song creates a unique tapestry that speaks to the universal language of love. Fans are taken on a sonic journey both intimate and expansive, brought to life by the production talents of Ilya Salmanzadeh, Johnny McDaid, and Savan Kotecha.

Ed Sheeran says “Sapphire was the first song I finished for Play that made me know where the album was heading. It’s why I finished the recording process in Goa surrounded by some of the best musicians in India. It was an incredible creative process. I shot the music video with Liam and Nic across my India tour earlier this year, we wanted to showcase the beauty and breadth of the country and its culture. The final jigsaw piece for me was getting Arijit on the record. It was a journey to get there and such an amazing day of music and family. Me and him have done a full Punjabi version of the song that will come out in the next few weeks, which has a lot more of him on it. This is the album version of the song, and my favourite song on the album. Hope you guys love it. x“

The video for “Sapphire” has been directed by Liam Pethick, features Arijit Singh and a cameo from iconic actor Shah Rukh Khan. It begins with Ed performing the song at dawn on a rooftop, then transitions to a vibrant journey across various locations. Ed’s travels take him from the rooftop to serene beaches, riversides, bustling markets, local kitchens and Bollywood backlots. Highlights include meeting up with Arijit for a studio session and motorcycle ride around his hometown, plus a visit to the A.R. Rahman music school, where he performs with local musicians.

Ed Sheeran releases his new album ‘Play’ on 12th September 2025. (Pre-order here) After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran is finally back and stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025.   An artist known for constantly evolving, Sheeran’s latest album, ‘Play’ finds him exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world’s best-loved pop artists. Inspired in part by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures—and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies—he explored this borderless musical language, giving the album its distinctive, fresh edge.  On more familiar ground, Sheeran also reminds us why he remains the most influential singer-songwriter of his generation, delivering a series of stunning ballads and acoustic-driven songs. The result is a collection that plays with both the familiar and the new, creating a bold, pop-driven sound that only Ed Sheeran could deliver — a vibrant showcase of his artistry that feels both exciting and transformative, and promises to be one of the defining albums of the year.

Ed Sheeran has also announced three live shows at Portman Road, Ipswich which Sold-Out immediately. These kick off on Friday, July 11th, featuring special guests Myles Smith and Tori Kelly;  on July 12th the spotlight shifts to Busted and Dylan;  whilst on July 13th it will be James Blunt and Maisie Peters. These are set to take place at Ipswich Town FC’s iconic home ground – Ed being a lifelong supporter of the club, and the official shirt sponsor since 2021.  The three night stint will mark Ed’s first UK headline shows since 2023, and will include debut performances of tracks from ‘Play’ alongside fan favourites.  £1 from every ticket sold on these shows has been donated to the newly launched Live Trust, a new funding initiative from LIVE that will offer much needed financial support to those working across live music. The Live Trust will initially support the grassroots music sector that is such a vital part of the music ecosystem – from venues and artists to festivals and promoters.

While You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focuses on dealing with grief, You’ll Be Alright, Kid turns the page with healing, resilience, and optimism.

The album announcement comes off the heels of Alex’s newest release, “Bloodline (with Jelly Roll).” “Bloodline” debuted in the Top 10 on the Spotify US Streaming Chart and had the highest debut on May 23 on Spotify. With nearly 3 million streams, it is the top song debut in both the US and globally. The accompanying music video was dropped last week. Watch here. Directed by B.K. Barone, both Alex and Jelly Roll, star in the music video that is set in medieval times.

The smash hit is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week and counts five weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 songs chart. “Ordinary” is not only Warren’s first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it also makes him the first male soloist to earn an initial Hot 100 #1 this year.

“Ordinary” has also spent 11 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the UK chart. This marks the longest running No.1 in the UK by a US male solo act in more than 60 years and the longest running No. 1 of the 2020s. “Ordinary” also continues to rise inside the top 3 at Top 40 radio. He now tallies over 1.4 billion career streams to date.

Most recently, Warren made his award show debut with a powerful performance at the 2025 American Music Awards. Watch here. Earlier this year, Warren also made his late-night debut with a performance of “Ordinary” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Watch here.
