Acclaimed UK based singer-songwriter Emily Barker returns with her blissful and poignant new single ‘Return Me’. The track is Emily’s first release of new solo music since her exquisite 2017 album, ‘Sweet Kind of Blue’.  As a restless musical adventurer and collaborator, Emily has passed through different musical whirlpools and friendships since her signature song ‘Nostalgia’ (theme of Wallander) significantly launched her career, with this new release finding its natural home with Thirty Tigers.

In recent times Emily has found herself gravitating back to themes that have haunted her lyrics since she first started writing songs. The climate crisis that dominated last year’s news brought burning questions back to the fore, and ‘Return Me’ marks her response – the yearning tug of home and family.

“I started to ask myself whether or not the path I am on is still the right one in light of the sombre and overwhelming revelation that our earth is very sick,” Emily said of the track. “Whether the journey is leading me where I want to go…whether it is time at last to return to my first home – a question that seems to have no answer, despite the number of songs I have dedicated to it.”

Emily Barker’s last album ‘Sweet Kind of Blue’ was recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis with Grammy-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price) and an all-star cast of Memphis session players. The success of the album, with its seamless mix of soul, blues, country and folk influences, and the globe-trotting tours to support it helped land Emily the accolade of UK Artist of the Year at the 2018 UK Americana Awards held at Hackney Empire in London.

Emily is perhaps best known as the writer and performer of the award-winning theme to BBC crime drama Wallander starring Kenneth Branagh. She has released music as a solo artist as well as with various bands including The Red Clay Halo, Vena Portae and Applewood Road (with whom she released a remarkable album of original songs recorded live around a single microphone, which was dubbed “flawless” by The Sunday Times) and has written for film, including composing her first feature film soundtrack (for Jake Gavin’s lauded debut feature Hector starring Peter Mullan and Keith Allen).

Look out for the next installment of this story on July 10th.

On 12^th June 1970 one of Britain’s finest bands, The Kinks, released a groundbreaking song that would further cement their place in history, ‘Lola’. This week The Kinks and BMG launch #LolaDay to celebrate 50 years of this seminal single. Fans will be able to ‘Lolafy’ their individual photos with 10 new custom made stickers available via The Kinks website https://thekinks.lnk.to/LolafyYourPicturePR.Throughout the day some of the finest acts around will release their interpretations of the track via The Kinks’ channels.

Ahead of its time, ‘Lola’ was written by Ray Davies in early 1970 and recorded at Morgan Studios in London. The track supposedly tells the romantic tale between a young man and a transgender person whom he meets in a club in Soho,inspired by an alleged encounter by the band’s manager. Released with Village Green Preservation Society outtake ‘Berkeley Mews’ in the UK and the Dave Davies-penned ‘Mindless Child of Motherhood’ in the US, the iconic hook has been sung around the world for decades.

Cited by Ray Davies as the first song he wrote following a break he took to act in the 1970 Play for Today film, ‘The Long Distance Piano Player’, Ray said that he had initially struggled with recording an opening that would set up the song, but the rest of the song “came naturally.” He remarks, “I remember going into a music store on Shaftesbury Avenue when we were about to make ‘Lola’. I said, ‘I want to get a really good guitar sound on this record, I want a Martin.’ And in the corner they had this old 1938 Dobro that I bought for £150. I put them together on ‘Lola’, which is what makes that clangy sound: the combination of the Martin and the Dobro with heavy compression.”

Due to its controversial subject matter at the time and use of the brand name Coca-Cola, the single received backlash and even bans in Britain and Australia, but was met with critical acclaim from press, with Rolling Stone labelling ‘Lola’ as “decades ahead of its time.”

The single became an unexpected chart smash for the Kinks, reaching number two in Britain and number nine in the United States. The single also saw success worldwide, reaching the top of the charts in Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa, as well as the top 5 in Germany, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland. The track went on to become the band’s biggest single success since ‘Sunny Afternoon’ in 1966.

Scottish legends Travis are back with the first taste of brilliant new music from their emotionally charged & deeply heartfelt forthcoming ninth studio album ‘10 Songs’ – out October 9th on BMG.

‘A Ghost’ received its first play today from Ken Bruce on Radio 2, and arrives with a stunning animated video directed and drawn by Fran, with his son Clay leading the beautiful cinematography work – all done whilst in isolation. Watch here & listen here.

Frontman Fran Healy says;“The video started out as a mocked up picture of me and three ghosts playing the last chorus of the song in a deserted alleyway. Just when everything was ready to shoot, the world went into lockdown, so we had this great song with no way to make a video, so I decided to draw it.  It worked out that it would take around 30 days, with 2,500 drawings. Most of the animation is rotoscoped, and one day I was watching a sequence back and when it got to the end, it flashed and went into live action. This was the moment I realised I could shoot the mock up picture of me playing with my band of ghosts in the alleyway. It was clear that filming the last 47 seconds would save me 10 days of drawing, I could recruit my 14 year old son Clay as the cameraman as he has a drone, and most importantly, we could film it socially distant. It was the most bizarre video shoot I have ever worked on, but it turned out great.”

Co-produced by both Fran and Robin Baynton (Coldplay, Florence & The Machine), and recorded at RAK Studios as 2019 turned into 2020, ’10 Songs’ is an album about the way life comes at love and what love does to weather those challenges. It’s grown-up. There’s sizzling synergy in abundance, and many of its songs benefit from the almost psychic sense of mutual attunement that comes from being in a band whose line-up hasn’t changed in its entire collective lifetime.

There’s also inspired cameos to be found, including synth work from Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle, lap steel from Greg Leisz (Beck, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Springsteen) and vocals from Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles that came about from a chance exchange on Twitter.

It’s been twenty-five years since the four members of Travis – Fran Healy, Andy Dunlop, Dougie Payne, Neil Primrose – first set foot in a Glaswegian rehearsal room. At various points along the trajectory between then and now, the band have sold millions of albums, they’ve been the subject of the award-winning feature length documentary ‘Almost Fashionable’ and Fran has elicited acclaim from Paul McCartney, Elton John and Graham Nash – all songwriters whose ability to divine a timeless melody out of thin air has sustained them through the decades.

And today marks another new chapter in the band’s extraordinarily prolific and unflappable career. ‘10 Songs’ is yet another body of work that showcases Travis as one of the UK’s finest songwriting exports.

To sum it up, Fran says beautifully; “There’s a song on the record called ‘Butterflies’. And that’s really how I think about songwriting. These things are floating around. And you have to be very quiet, and be very quick, and be very respectful. You catch them, you look at them for a little while, and then you set them free again. And that’s the whole point of songs. That’s the point of songwriting.”

Jake Bugg has released a new track Rabbit Hole, which is available now via RCA Records/Sony Music.

Following recent track and short film Saviours Of The City, new release Rabbit Hole was written and recorded in LA with Tobias Jesso Jr. and Andrew Wells (Ellie Goulding, Jason Mraz) and previewed at shows earlier this year. Opening with a solemn guitar riff, it builds to an upbeat chorus both reflecting the highs and lows and the conceptual vs reality nature of the lyrics. Jake says;

“I wrote and recorded this in LA about a year ago. It was an instant one for me and went straight into the live set for the last two tours. I’ve had loads of requests to release it, so I’m excited to get this one out there”

Still only 26-years-old, yet with 4 albums and numerous hit singles to his name, Jake Bugg has a seasoned knowledge beyond his young years, which he couples with a refreshing wry sense of humour and a laid-back gritty swagger.

He released new single and video Kiss Like The Sun at the end of last year, his debut release since signing to RCA Records, which marked a new start in his musical career. Co-written with Andrew Watt (Post Malone), it received a Hottest Record play via Annie Mac on Radio 1 and was accompanied by a cinematic performance video shot in Kiev.

Jake and his band played 9 sold out UK dates earlier this year before lockdown erupted, which followed his November tour performing at venues including The Roundhouse in London and a hometown show at Nottingham Rock City.

Recorded in Brooklyn and written and produced by Teddy, Heartbreaker Please sees the critically acclaimed artist at the top of his craft, serving up the medicine of resignation with sweet, catchy satisfaction. “Here’s the thing,” Teddy sings frankly on his new album, “you don’t love me anymore. I can tell you’ve got one foot out the door.” From its opening track, Thompson’s new album reckons with the breakdown of love with a wistful levity as satisfying as it is devastatingly honest.

From a young age, Sam Cooke, Hank Williams, Chuck Berry, and the Everly Brothers made up the bulk of his listening and you can hear that ache in his voice. After releasing his self-titled debut in 2000, Teddy went on tour as part of Roseanne Cash’s band. Since then he’s released five acclaimed albums, collaborated with good friends Martha and Rufus Wainwright, contributed to numerous tribute projects, and produced albums for Americana singer-songwriter Dori Freeman, Shelby Lynne, Allison Moorer and his mother, Linda Thompson.

Two years ago this week, Margo Price claimed her rock star status at the Mother Church of Country Music. She was headlining the Ryman Auditorium for the first time ever, in a sold-out run of three nights that she had admittedly spent more time planning than her wedding. It was during those shows that the Nashville Scene said, “We got to see Price’s hopes and dreams for the future being realized before our eyes.”

 Today, Margo revisits the career-changing residency with the release of a new live album, Perfectly Imperfect at The Ryman. Out exclusively on Bandcamp, all proceeds benefit the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, and while Margo has been working on putting the energy of those gigs back out into the world ever since they happened, she couldn’t wait any longer.

“I am so excited that we are releasing it today,” she explains. “The recordings are rough and the performances are raw, but there was a magic there and the band was on fire. We played unreleased songs, alternative album versions and had lots of special guests. I hope it moves you.”

Listen to ‘Perfectly Imperfect at the Ryman’ HERE

Watch the live video for “All American Made,”which Rolling Stone named one of the 10 Best Moments of Margo’s Ryman run calling it “a vigil not for some version of the country we once had, but for hope that our sometimes faulty all-American tendencies can see a better, brighter day.” 

The album features Emmylou Harris on Margo’s song “Wild Women,” Sturgill Simpson on a rip-roaring rendition of Rodney Crowell’s “Ain’t Livin Long Like This,” and Jack White on a duet of The White Stripes’ “Honey, We Can’t Afford to Look This Cheap.” At its core, though, the record showcases Margo Price’s versatility as a bandleader and performer. Playing drums, guitar, piano, and even jumping offstage to join the crowd, CMT said, “Price lit up the stage throughout the two-hour show in an electric display of the musicianship she’s honed since arriving in town 15 years ago.” Find full credits and track listing below.

Margo Price’s third studio LP, That’s How Rumors Get Started (which she co-produced with Simpson) is due out this summer on Loma Vista Recordings.

The cast of hugely popular entertainment show Gogglebox, are celebrating UK nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants nationwide this week as they lend their support to Cavell Nurses’ Trust with a spectacular ‘Sofa Self-Portrait Prize Draw’.

To be in with a chance of winning a Gogglebox masterpiece painted by your favourite sofa critic,Cavell are hosting a Gala Bid Prize Draw from 10.00pm on Friday, 22^ndMay – Friday, 5^thJune where anyone can buy tickets to be in with a chance to win. Each entry costs £3.00 with all proceeds in aid of Cavell Nurses’ Trust. Enter at https://app.galabid.com/gogglebox/

The show’s creator and Executive Producer, Tania Alexander, came up with the idea for cast members to paint self-portraits of themselves sitting on their sofas. The paintings have been donated to Cavell Nurses’ Trust and entered into the prize draw to help raise funds for UK nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants facing a crisis in their lives, often because of illness, domestic abuse, mental health issues and more recently the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tania says of the initiative; “The work that Cavell Nurses’ Trust does is incredibly valuable. They offer real and tangible support to the nursing profession, and they’re doing that right now at what is such a crucial time. I think I speak for the entire Gogglebox cast and crew when I say that we are grateful to them and to the clinical care profession as a whole. This painting project for the prize draw is our way of trying to say thank you. We hope it helps raise awareness and funds simultaneously, so please do buy a ticket.”

With cast members of the latest series being in some way touched by the help of nurses, and art in general, this initiative resonates across the board. One of the show’s stars, Julie Malone, explains; “As a mother of a pediatric intensive care nurse, I really enjoyed getting involved with this project. We really appreciate all the work the Cavell Nurses’ Trust do for nurses and healthcare workers and we would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts”

As a Wimbledon art school graduate himself, another one of the show’s stars Giles Wood says; “This one is especially rare as I normally paint landscapes or interiors where there is room for less exactitude than in portraiture.” His partner Mary adds;“Paintings by Giles have a rarity value because it’s difficult to drag him away from his one acre wildlife garden. Yet, he rose to the challenge anyway because of the exceptional work done by the Cavell Nurses’  Trust which we both want to support.”

The full list of households that have produced pieces of art are: Amira & Amani, Anne & Ken, Dave & Shirley, Ellie & Izzi, Jenny & Lee, The Malones (Tom Snr, Julie, Tom Jnr, Shaun), Pete & Sophie, Stephen & Daniel, Sally & Paige, Sue and Steve, The Michaels (Andy, Caroline and Louis), Mary & Giles, The Siddiquis (Umar, Baasit & Sid), The Worthingtons (Alison, Helena & George).

Gogglebox’s Lee Riley and Jenny Newby show their support by wearing ‘Nurses Rock’ T-shirts as seen in the above photo. There are 3 designs in the Nurses Rock T-shirts range, with 100% of profits from sales also going to the Cavell Nurses’ Trust. The ‘Nurses Rock’ T-shirts have been produced by Mark Stredwick of Probity Merch who wanted to celebrate and support the UK nursing family during these unprecedented times along with some of the artists he works with including Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Bryan Adams, Paloma Faith, and many more. Nurses Rock T-shirts are priced at £9.99 + p&p, and are available to purchase here.

Introducing one of the UK’s most exciting new artists and multi-instrumentalists, Sid Stone. Poised to help guide the UK through these dark times, Sid’s poignant debut single ‘Better Alone’ is the lead track from his auspicious ‘Inside/Outside’ mixtape, out now on Hotspring Music.

Recorded at Mick Jones’ (The Clash) studio in North Acton with his best mates and long-time collaborators Joy Anonymous and man of the moment Fred Again (Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, Headie One), lead single ‘Better Alone’ came as an idea on a late walk back from a shift at Bush Hall. The piano driven, jazz influenced track is a chameleon-like pop vibe, sitting as perfectly on a stereo in lockdown, as it does at a sun blushed sunrise party.

Shot at Sid’s Local pub The White Horse in Shepherds Bush and the Somerset Hills, the accompanying video, captured both before and during lockdown manifests the stark contrasts of how life has changed over recent months. The stunning video was directed by Sid and produced by Tom Pomphrey and Fergus Haughton, with animations by Laura N-Tamara.

Stream ‘Better Alone’ HERE & watch the video HERE

“It’s all about making peace with being alone, but also it came out of situations built on friendship and love.” Sid said of the track. “So who knows: the truth is sometimes hidden between two opposites!”

A sum greater than its individual parts, ‘Inside/Outside’ mixtape is a rhapsody of isolation, a heartfelt elegy to the process of withdrawing/going within as a necessary means to personal and artistic fulfilment. Composed of 6-tracks intertwined by real-world interludes and bookended by the tender ‘Now I’m Alone’ and euphoric ‘Know Well’, the mixtape is brimming with vocals drenched in soul, heartfelt lyrics, emotional pianos and distant drums. ‘Giving us an insight into Sid’s world ‘Inside/Outside’ leads the listener through Sid’s reality of raw perfection and on a journey of self-isolation relevant to the world’s current climate.

Speaking of ‘Inside/Outside’ Sid said, “it’s like a document of my life as a songwriter in London: the sounds of Shepherds Bush, the frustrations of trying to be good at writing songs, the internal world that gets explored parallel to the outside world around us.” He continues, “the pressure, the emotional strain, all of that filtering in from the city and out from me and back again in this hyper loop of man and surrounding.” A mixtape that is as timely as it is necessary right now.

Listen to ‘Inside/Outside’ EP HERE

Hailing from Somerset, Sid Stone is a seasoned songwriter and a true artist of his craft. With influences taken from a large gene pool borrowing elements from soul, jazz, pop, rap & dance music, his raw and eloquently disheveled vocals bring together a remarkably diverse, but accessible sound. The multifaceted musician is also co-producing the forthcoming Kurupt FM album with Fred Again and Joy Anonymous and is a regular collaborator with pop starlets and underground legends alike. Sid Stone is poised for greatness and is an artist that is as exciting as he is essential.

ACM, CMA and CMT Award-winning artist Luke Combs has released his new song, “Six Feet Apart,” today. Co-written with Brent Cobb and Rob Snyder, Combs originally debuted the song last month during a livestream concert.

                                       Listen to ‘Six Feet Apart’ HERE

The new song adds to a series of groundbreaking and historic years for Combs, who is nominated in three categories at the 55th ACM Awards: Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for his acclaimed global No. 1 record, What You See Is What You Get.

What You See Is What You Get—out now on River House Artists/Columbia Nashville debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart as well as Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart this past November with 172,000 equivalent units sold and also enjoyed the largest streaming week ever for a country album with 74 million on-demand streams. It also achieved the biggest first week of album streams ever for a country artist on Apple Music and was the first country album ever to hit No. 1 on the platform’s U.S. overall albums chart, while also setting a new global record for first-week streams for a country album at Spotify and breaking the Amazon Music record for more first-week streams than any other country album debut. Moreover, Combs made his debut as the musical guest on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” earlier this year with host JJ Watt performing two songs from, What You See Is What You Get: “Lovin’ On You” and “Beer Never Broke My Heart.”

Produced by Scott Moffatt, What You See Is What You Get features 17 songs including the five tracks previously released via The Prequel EP last summer. The EP debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with all five tracks charting on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Top 25—a feat not accomplished by any artist in 60 years since Johnny Cash in 1959. Additionally, Combs’ last single, “Even Though I’m Leaving,” spent three weeks at No. 1 at country radio, making it Combs’ seventh consecutive No. 1—a first on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, while his current single, “Does To Me” featuring Eric Church, is already Top 10 at country radio.

Adding to his landmark year, Combs’ debut album, This One’s For You, was recently certified RIAA Triple Platinum. Since its release in 2017, the album has spent 50 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997. This One’s For You was also the most-streamed country album of 2019. Moreover, several of Combs’ songs have also received new RIAA certifications: 4x Platinum “Beautiful Crazy,” 4x Platinum “When It Rains It Pours,” 2x Platinum “She Got The Best of Me” and Platinum “Must’ve Never Met You.”
