GLOBAL SUPERSTAR AKON RELEASES AKONS BEAUTIFUL DAY
London, UK, Friday 4 October 2024 - Global superstar Akon announces his highly anticipated new single, “Akon’s Beautiful Day,” out today via Konvict Kulture Records. This record has been met across the globe with open arms and instant virality, already receiving tens of millions of views across fan videos created prior to its release. This powerful track speaks to resilience, hope, the light and sunshine in life’s darkness, and is what Akon has deemed, “The Anthem the World Needs Right Now.” Known for his uplifting music and impactful global initiatives, “Akon’s Beautiful Day” truly represents and encapsulates the Akon we all know and LOVE.
With a career marked by groundbreaking achievements, including being the first artist to hold both the number one and number two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 twice or reaching 1 billion views on YouTube, Akon has consistently used his platform to push boundaries and above all else inspire and connect with people worldwide. Akons Beautiful Day features an interpolation of the viral hook sung by 10-year-old Jamaican student Jermaine Edwards, whose heartwarming performance at school captivated audiences around the globe as well as Akon. This record beautifully wraps his smooth vocals around this melody, transforming it into a stadium-style anthem with the support of a choir of childrens voices, echoing the message that no matter what you are going through, you can always find light and beauty in life. Collaborating with Jkash, JR Rotem, and Phillip Phever, Akon has crafted a song that reminds us music has the power to heal and unite. The track blends Akons unique sound with a powerful acoustic guitar arrangement, building to a feel good beat and chorus that invites the world to sing along.
The release of the new single coincides with the 20th anniversary of Akons debut album, Trouble, which first launched him into global superstardom with hits like Locked Up. He was also instrumental in the early development of megastars Lady Gaga and T-Pain, signing them to his label and helping shape their careers. Akon announced shows with Burna Boy on October 23 and 24 at Los Angeles Peacock Theater and with T Pain on October 30 at Morrison,COs Red Rocks Amphitheater before heading out on his upcoming “Akon Super Fan Tour Asia” (dates/tickets HERE). In addition to connecting with his fans across the planet and expanding his influence beyond music Akon has partnered on a documentary film with Kevin Hart and Hartbeat called Headliners Only.
Akons Beautiful Day arrives at a moment when the world is needing optimism and togetherness. Akon is fully re-energised and majorly musically re-focused after the completion of his intense 40 date (!) super fan tour that has taken him across four continents and has totally reinvigorated his enormous global fanbase. Akon has set out to again deliver the kind of massive hit records to follow in the footsteps of songs like Lonely, Locked Up, and Bananza (Belly Dancer). In an era marked by wars, challenges and uncertainty, Akons return with such a positive and unifying message. The songs message resonates with Akons broader mission to inspire millions through his work in Africa, where he continues to champion access to energy and digital transformation with projects like 'Akon Power & Lighting Africa.' As Akon reclaims his place in the pop zeitgeist, this song marks a powerful return. With his soulful tones and the voices of inspirational children, Akon has created a song for the ages.
KSI - Thick Of It (feat. Trippie Redd) [Official Music Video]
London, UK, Thursday 3 October 2024 – Today, KSI, one of the UK’s most influential and multi-talented artists, shares two highly-anticipated singles: “Thick of It” featuring Trippie Redd and “Low” via Warner Records.
These tracks mark an exciting new chapter in KSI’s ever-evolving music career, inviting listeners to dive deeper into his personal journey of resilience, self-belief, and the reality of fame.
Speaking about “Thick of It”, KSI shared, “This is essentially my comeback song. I talk about the history of my career and where I’ve come from. Plus, I’m giving my audience the blueprint on how to dream big and reach the goals that they want to reach. With the help of Trippie Redd, this song is a celebration of the 10 plus years I’ve been online entertaining the people.”
Trippie Redd adds, "I'm excited to be working with my brother JJ again on another fire release. Can't wait to take the world by storm with this track.”
Produced by Ray Michael Djan Jr (BTS) and co-written with an all-star team, "Thick of It" is a bold anthem of triumph. The track sees KSI reflect on his rise from humble beginnings to becoming a global icon, all while staying unshaken by the challenges and negativity that come with success. With lyrics like "forty something mili sales," KSI asserts his place at the top, fully in control of his destiny.
The accompanying music video, directed by KC Locke (Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Jorja Smith), is an epic visual spectacle. Starting in the remote icy landscapes of Antarctica, KSI, frozen in a block of ice, is brought to life to begin his rap journey. As he transitions through various stages—from sitting on an
ice throne to taking over a KSI-branded Wall Street tower—the video symbolically portrays KSI’s dominance in both music and business, culminating in a dramatic tornado scene where he battles the elements, emerging victorious. "Low" takes a more introspective turn, delving into the emotional toll of balancing external success with internal struggles. As KSI puts it, “I wrote low at a very dark time in my life. I wasn’t in a good place mentally and felt compelled to write this as a way of therapy for me. I was dealing with imposter syndrome as well as heartbreak. So this is me essentially giving you a piece of me at a time where I wasn’t at my best.”
Co-written by Sam Roman as well as Pharoah Vice (The Kid LAROI), Nike Taz (Trippie Redd), and Nick Gale of Digital Farm Animals (Charli XCX) who co-produced the record, the song offers a raw and vulnerable look at KSI’s personal battles with self-doubt and pressure. While the world sees a man at the top of his game, "Low" reveals the exhaustion and emotional disconnect that often lurks beneath the surface. It’s a relatable track for anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the expectations of others while quietly grappling with their own insecurities.
KSI is currently recording his third album.
CALUM SCOTT SWOONS ON BRIGHT NEW BALLAD “MY WORLD”
Friday 4 October – London, UK: Multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott gives us another reason to celebrate his musical canon: “My World,” a romantic ballad complete with piano, strings, and a surge of epic production.
With his blissed-out summer anthem “Roots” still making waves among Calum’s globe-spanning fanbase, “My World” hits like the changing of the seasons. Produced by LVLS and longtime collaborator Jon “MAGS” Maguire (Jax Jones, Tiesto), and co-written by Calum, Maguire, Josh Record (Avicii, DNCE), and Adrien Nookadu (M-22), among others, the new single balances the artist’s deep emotional resonance with a sound that uplifts the listener.
Says Calum, “‘My World’ is a new way of saying ‘I love you’ - it is a return to the ballad for me with classic songwriting but with fresh production that I‘m really excited to share! Having toured in stadiums with Ed Sheeran for the last 9 months and watching, in particular, the emotional songs resonate with thousands of people across the globe, I’m looking forward to be coming back with something that I think
my fans will really love! I have worked with some new writers on this one too and am excited to keep exploring my diversity and seeing what else I am capable of!’
As “My World” begins, Calum doesn’t waste a second making his devotion known: “I talk in my sleep every night, and think of the wrongs I’d make right, so I can give you my all undivided...” The keys and strings never sound too heavy — instead, there’s a slight sway that emphasizes the optimism in the lyrics. And when Calum delivers the chorus, the drop hits, underscoring his sincerity with warm bass synths and lilting drums: “I’d pull down the moon, I’d go to space / To the end of the universe, I wouldn’t hesitate / Just to make you see that you got all of me, and you are my world.”
“My World” follows not just “Roots” but also breezy dance-pop cut “Then There Was You” — which happened to be the lead single from The Garfield Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) — and “Lighthouse,” a pounding, panoramic love song accompanied by a breathtakingly cinematic video. The recent series of singles has served to spotlight Calum’s more lighthearted side and pop-leaning sensibilities without sacrificing his gift for expressing big feelings.
Fittingly, Calum’s become known for a life-affirming live show that fosters an incredibly close connection with the crowd. In August, he wrapped an outing performing at stadiums across Asia and Europe as support for Ed Sheeran’s extended Mathematics Tour. Starting 3 October in Montreal, he’ll head back out on his own The Songbook So Far North American tour with support from rising Irish singer/songwriter Cian Ducrot. The run concludes on 15 October in Highland, CA.
The Songbook So Far Tour will showcase songs from Calum’s gold-certified 2018 debut album Only Human (featuring his 5X platinum smash “You Are The Reason” and 3X platinum cover
of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own”), 2022’s sophomore set Bridges (with soul-stirring hits like “Rise,” “Biblical,” and “If You Ever Change Your Mind”), and his forthcoming third album — the details of which he has yet to share. Stay tuned as Calum Scott continues to reveal more of his world.
