CALUM SCOTT CELEBRATES SELF-COMPASSION ON EUPHORIC NEW SINGLE “AT YOUR WORST

 

Friday 18 August 2023, London UK - Today, multi-platinum-selling, BRIT nominated singer-songwriter Calum Scott premieres his radiant new single “At Your Worst”. One of the most up-tempo and high-energy tracks to date from the globally beloved artist, “At Your Worst” brings Calum’s soulful vocals to a candid and compassionate look at loving yourself and others despite the many imperfections we all possess. Listen HERE and watch the official music video from 2pm BST HERE. 

Arriving on the heels of "Whistle" — his chart-climbing collaboration with producer/DJ/multi-instrumentalist Jax Jones — “At Your Worst” marks Calum’s first solo single since the mid-2022 release of his acclaimed sophomore album Bridges. In bringing the beat-driven track to life, Calumworked with co-writers/producers Digital Farm Animals (Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Jonas Brothers/Marshmello) and Jon “MAGS” Maguire (Calum’s longtime collaborator and co-writer on his platinum-certified smash "You Are The Reason", the second most popular song for a first dance behind Ed Sheeran & Beyonce’s ‘Perfect’ duet according to The Sunday Times), dreaming up a breezy but hard-hitting sound graced with lush guitar work and brightly hypnotic synth tones. And while the song serves as a bold departure from the piano-driven balladry of past hits like "Biblical" (the lead single from Bridges), “At Your Worst” remains rooted in the raw sincerity, sophisticated sense of melody, and warm but powerful vocal presence that have defined Calum’s music since his gold-certified debut album Only Human (a 2018 release that’s now surpassed 13 billion combined global streams).

“‘At Your Worst’ was born from a feeling that sometimes it might be hard for someone to love me because of my anxieties, my time away, my self-doubt — but also from the realisation that we are all worthy of being loved no matter our flaws or insecurities,” says Calum. “This could be a song reassuring someone that you’ll love them no matter what, but it’s also song to yourself: a reminder that you should love yourself at your worst, because self-love is the most important. The sound on this one feels nostalgic and retro to me — kind of takes me back to my Sega Mega Drive. I’m excited to share new music with my fans and show everyone what I’ve been working on!”

Now making the rounds at major summer festivals across Europe and South America, Calum recently added “At Your Worst” to his captivating live set. He first performed the track live as part of the Bridges World Tour, a global run that kicked off with his summer 2022 headline tour of North America and went onto sell 75,000 tickets worldwide across more than 60 shows in over 32 countries across the UK & Europe, Asia, Oceania, and South Africa. For more info on Calum’s upcoming tour dates including a brand-new show, The Songbook So Far at the Eventim Apollo on 12 March 2024 which promises to pay homage to his hits and a celebration of Scott’s glittering decade-long career so far, click HERE. 

Scott also recently collaborated with one of the most successful bands in British chart history, Take That, for the rework of their hit single, "Greatest Day". Performing the track at Windsor Castle earlier this year for His Majesty, King Charles’ coronation celebration, he shared the stage with pop stalwarts, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie. 

With over 135 million combined global streams, “Whistle” is the latest in a series of dance-ready collaborations from Calum: in September 2022 he joined forces with Kygo and Gryffin for “Woke Up In Love” (hailed as a “glorious blend of tropical house and dance-pop bliss” by Dancing Astronaut), while summer 2021 saw the release of “Where Are You Now” — a gold-certified collaboration with Lost Frequencies that earned a 2023 BRIT Award Nomination for Best International Song and became the biggest dance song of 2022, in addition to racking up over 1.5 billion combined global streams.

The song was co-produced by Madison and Leroy Clampitt, and written by Madison, Clampitt, Tim Sommers and Jeremy “Kinetics” Dussolliet.

 

Alongside the single arrives the cinematic visual directed by Madison & Aerin Moreno, in which Madison finds herself in a dream-like sequence as she discovers the world around her is frozen in time – watch HERE.

 

Speaking about the release, Madison said “This song is a reflection of a time when everything seemed to stand still. I felt like every day was a cycle and I was stuck in such an anxious place, yet I could finally explore the thoughts and emotions in my head. I dreamed of a video that was cinematic and visually striking that brought those emotions to life, and I’m so proud of what we created.”

Madison first teased “Spinnin’” during her performance for Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series. The song comes from Madison’s highly anticipated sophomore album Silence Between Songs, arriving September 15, 2023 via EPIC Records.

Paying homage to some of her favorite artists such as Lana Del Rey, The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Tame Impala, Madison will deliver a refreshing and innovative sonic experience and infuse the album’s visual aesthetics with her distinctive artistic vision.

 

Speaking on the album, Madison said “I’ve learned so much about myself and my artistry on the journey of the last two years since my last record. This album tells the story of so many different pieces of me that I discovered in the moments of pause where I settled down from the noise and learned the most about myself. I hope my fans are as inspired listening to it as I was when creating it.”

 

“Spinnin’” is available to stream on all platforms HERE.

HRVY RETURNS TO HIS POP ROOTS ON NEW SINGLE “STOLEN HEART”

 

Friday 18 August 2023, London UK - Today, singer-songwriter HRVYreleases a brand new single, “Stolen Heart”, a playful, doo-wop inspired track with a heartbeat-like rhythm and infectious chorus guaranteed to stick in your head, marking a distinctive return to his pop roots. You can listen to “Stolen Heart” via BMG HERE.

“I’m so excited to be going back to my pop roots,” HRVY says.“Stolen Heart has been a long time in the making with an old school HRVY feel to it. I can’t wait for the fans to hear it.”

HRVY co-wrote the track alongside Kylie Minogue and Sigalacollaborator Danny Shah and Dominic Lyttle (Sam Feldt, Jonas Blue), and “Stolen Heart” was produced by Lateshift.

A heartbroken HRVY can be seen singing to his ex-girlfriend (played by Emmerdale actress and real-life girlfriend Mimi Slinger) in the hilariously quirky and surreal accompanying music video, while devastating lyrics 'I hope I never see you again' juxtapose the lively melody. Watch the official music video HERE.

Directed by Patrick Silla, the video opens with HRVY walking towards the stage with a wig and sunglasses on the back of his head. He starts performing with his back to the crowd, attracting little attention. We see his old flame enter with her ex. The ex-partner leaves HRVY’s former lover to watch the show and the room begins to slowly brighten. Some of the audience stand up and dance with members of the crowd joining him on stage. HRVY’s old lover is taken aback by the spectacle and her eyes are locked on him. HRVY makes his way off stage towards his ex-girlfriend. He gets to her and turns around, revealing his face to everyone sat down at the bar and HRVY and his ex are reunited on stage.

His EP, Views From The 23rd Floor has accumulated over 90 million streams and saw HRVY step into a more mature sound while the standout track, “I Wish I Could Hate You”, continued HRVY’s impressive trajectory. He went on to release summer dance anthem, “Save Me” with GRAMMY nominated artist and producer Steve Aoki which became a US Dance Radio Top 10 hit, along with his 2023 knockout, “All or Nothing” with German hit-machine, producer & DJ, Topic.

At 24 years old, HRVY already fosters an incredibly mighty online following spanning the globe, pushing 3 billion streams across all platforms, and a string of sold-out headline shows in North America, Asia, and Australia. His live performances in the UK already include sold-out headline shows at the Royal Albert Hall, Eventim Apollo and London Palladium as well as appearances at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Capital FM’s Jingle Bell and Summertime Ball. Multi-hyphen HRVY also enjoyed an incredibly successful stint and reached the final of the UK’s biggest TV show, Strictly Come Dancing.

Sub Tactics Drop Their Self-Titled EP on Mutation Audio

  

Sub Tactics Drop Their Self-Titled EP on Mutation Audio  

NEXUS 9 

Infrasound 

‘Wasp’ and ‘Nexus 9’ were the first two singles to drop from Sub Tactics' self-titled EP, proving they’re a duo who deliver thoughtful and deep drum & bass injected with a signature funk and soul. As well as their instrumentals and vocalist collaborations, adding a touch of live presence to their productions, they aim to keep their approach to music-making versatile. This is all showcased on their own label Mutation Audio and their brand new EP, which gave them full creative control over their work. 

With a history of putting on DIY club nights and hitting the top ten across various download platforms, Sub Tactics are no strangers to success in drum & bass. This can be seen through the release of their full self-titled EP package, where ‘Wasp’ and ‘Nexus 9’ already took listeners down into the genre’s murkier levels, which continues with the sounds of four new cuts across its track list. 

The deep rolling basslines of ‘Infrasound’ and its jaunty drum programming starts the EP’s fresh offerings, meanwhile ‘Be The One’ pushes through with Sub Tactic’s darker, jagged percussive edges. ‘Numb’ brings through the EP’s late night summer vibes alongside its distorted vocals. Then the final new track ‘Dancing Free’ ft. Clare Taylor shows the more emotive song writing of Sub Tactics, which still doesn’t lack any of their production bite. 

This August sees Sub Tactics reveal one of their biggest bodies of work to date. Their self-titled EP highlights the full spectrum of versatility within the duo’s production, and it is just a glimpse of what’s to come on their label Mutation Audio.
