Following the release of his acclaimed top 10 album ‘Coup De Grace’ and a massive sell-out UK tour last year, amidst playing a string of UK and European festivals this summer, Miles Kane today releases his latest single, ‘Can You See Me Now’ via AWAL.

With an infectiously fuzzy guitar riff, Beatles-esque harmonies and Miles’ signature sassy vocals, ‘Can You See Me Now’ is an immediate indie-rock smash. The video, directed by James Kelly (who also directed Miles’ video for ‘LA Five Four (309)’), was shot whilst Miles was on tour in France and Italy in May and sees Miles swaggering in his comfort zone, on the stage. Speaking of the track Miles said, “This is a song about reaching a point in your life when you feel comfortable in yourself and you’re not afraid to shout about it.”

After a huge headline date at Glasgow’s SWG3, Miles and his band play a host of shows and festivals this summer including slots at Isle of Wight Festival, Rock Werchter, Tramlines, Neighbourhood Festival, Y Not Festival, Kendal Calling and headlining Skeleton Coast Festival, as well as supporting Paul Weller at Cardiff Castle.

Miles Plays the following dates –

After months of speculation, Keane, one of Britain’s most beloved bands are back with a brand new album out September 20th on Island Records and featuring the powerful first single ‘The Way I Feel’. Watch the video HERE.

Written by Keane and produced by David Kosten and the band themselves, ‘Cause and Effect’ features 11 new songs recorded in London and Sussex.

Keane have also announced a major UK tour this autumn including two nights at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall. The band will play a series of festivals this summer including BST in Hyde Park on July 14th.

‘Cause and Effect’ is Keane’s 5th studio album. Their 4 previous albums have all entered the UK charts at number 1 and accumulated sales of over 13m worldwide and 2.6 billion streams.

The birth of this new album came as something of a surprise even to the band. Singer Tom Chaplin had released two successful solo albums but missed his old sparring partner Tim Rice-Oxley. “I found myself wondering how I had come to let this very enigmatic and important relationship in my life drift,” Tom says.

Meanwhile Tim found his life falling apart and from the ashes had written an album’s worth of incredibly personal songs fuelled by humour as well as pain. When Tom, bassist Jesse Quin and drummer Richard Hughes heard the songs, they were immediately drawn to them both sonically and lyrically.

“Hopes and Fears was a break-up album too, but it was about a break-up when I was 19,” Tim explains. “It’s a bit different when you’re older and you’ve got kids – your whole little world shifts on its axis.”

Tickets for Keane’s tour go on sale on Friday 14th June
They play the following dates:

September
Tues 24th BIRMINGHAM, Symphony Hall
Wed 25th LEICESTER, De Montfort Hall

Wed 2nd EDINBURGH, Usher Hall
Fri 4th NOTTINGHAM, Royal Concert Hall

Tues 8th  DUBLIN, Olympia

The video for ‘The Way I Feel’ was directed by Kevin Godley, who previously directed the video for the band’s hit single ‘Is It Any Wonder’ and Tom’s solo release ‘Still Waiting’.

‘The Way I Feel’, like the other ten tracks on ‘Cause and Effect’, is an emotional and remarkable slice of life, and reminiscent of the very best of Keane. It’s an exciting period for one of the country’s best bands and a very welcome return.

As Tim Rice-Oxley says, “We’re not some heritage act. We’ve got a lot of great music in us.” ‘Cause and Effect’ is just that.

One of the UK’s finest rising bands, The Snuts, today release their explosive new single ‘All Your Friends’ on Parlophone Records. Choosing to work with Inflo (Karen O / Danger Mouse, Michael Kiwanuka, Little Simz) the track throws the rulebook out the window creating a fresh, yet authentic first taste of the West Lothian quartet’s debut album, which the band are currently recording.

Driven by a huge slice of rock ‘n roll swagger, fused with a vintage hip-hop backbeat, ‘All Your Friends’ possesses an irresistibly catchy raw edge and a massive chorus. The video, directed by Ronan Corrigan and Hope Kemp, has both the humour and charm of long gone classics as the band are literally caught up in a shopping channel TV advert fuelled by their much loved Buckfast.

Watch the video for ‘All Your Friends’HERE

Speaking of the track Jack Cochrane explains “Reflected in the lyrics and the artwork ‘All Your Friends’ is new twist on a familiar social stigma around the drug epidemic that nobody seems to want to talk about”. He continues “keeping in tune with the passionate tones of The Snuts this is a rawer, more direct addition to the catalogue.”

Already garnering a massive following in Scotland and across the UK and with support from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Radio 1, Clash and Dork Magazine, The Snuts are set for a massive 2019 with new music, touring and a fine selection of festivals.

The Snuts, famed for their kinetic live shows, will support Lewis Capaldi on his November UK dates and play a host of summer festivals including Isle of Wight Festival, Mad Cool, Reading & Leeds Festival, Y Not Festival and a main stage, homecoming performance at TRNSMT. The band will also hit the road on a run of UK headline shows this autumn.

Kasabian mastermind Serge Pizzorno takes a break from his day job with an incredibly exciting new track featuring Little Simz. ‘Favourites’ is an explosive, song that is dangerously addictive.

With music by Serge and lyrics by Serge and Little Simz, ‘Favourites’ is a breath of fresh air and the good news is, it’s just the first taste of a new side project destined to please fans old and new. ‘Favourites’ had its world premiere last night on Radio 1 as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record.

The S.L.P – as it is called – is a new project by Serge Lorenzo Pizzorno, Kasabian’s guitarist and songwriter. This debut solo album created during a one year hiatus from Kasabian, sees Pizzorno channel his artistic instinct to create an exciting and unexpected updated self-portrait.

“’Favourites’ is about identity in the digital age,” Serge says. “I was interested in how online dating is a sort of snapshot of this identity crisis. Through the speed and structure of the song, I wanted to capture the feeling of the real you inside your head trying to get out and escape during a first date. It’s a dialogue between two people who are coming to terms with their true selves through their digital interaction becoming a physical one.”

As for Little Simz, Serge admits this hot UK rapper “completely blew me away”.  He continues: “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, make music with hip hop or grime artists.”

Stay tuned for more music and some live action shortly.

It’s been another exciting month at MBC towers, and we’ve got even more to be shouting from the rooftops about as we look to dive head first into the summer!

We welcome back Madonna as she globally unveiled the video for her poptastic new track ‘Medellin’ ft. Columbian superstar Maluma, on MTV this week. It’s the first taste of her new album Madame X out June 14th. More Madonna news to follow so watch this space!!!!

We also give a big warm welcome back to Mark Ronson, who announced his new album, ‘Late Night Feelings’ for June 21st. This collection of ‘sad bangers’ features collabs with Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello, Lykke Li, Alicia Keys & more. Last night Mark took his Club Heartbreak to Ladbroke Grove for a DJ set with Romy (xx). Lily Allen was among the crowd. Mark and Lykke Li perform new single ‘Late Night Feelings’ tomorrow night on the Jonathan Ross Show.

Without doubt, 2019 has been a breakout year for Lewis Capaldi. After celebrating a whopping 7 weeks atop the charts, the UK’s biggest single this year has propelled him to become one of the first artists to ever sell out a UK arena tour before the release of a debut album, out next month.

Jack Savoretti  has so far sold 70,000 copies of his #1 album ‘Singing to Strangers’ Jack kicks off his UK tour next month ending at London’s Wembley Arena on May 31st. We also can’t not mention his exquisite volley into the top bins on Soccer AM. Baggio-esque!

Meanwhile Tom Walker has sold 140,000 copies of his debut album ‘What A Time To Be Alive’. Tom kicked off his UK tour in Nottingham earlier this week and lands at the Roundhouse next Wednesday May 1st. ‘Just You & I’ still top ten.

Dido kicks off her first tour in 15 years early next month in Prague before starting the UK leg in Glasgow May 26th. She plays two nights at the Roundhouse May 30th and 31st before going to the USA for a string of shows. We can’t wait!!

A big MBC “hello” to shey baba whose debut album ‘Requiem’ is out May 10th on Virgin EMI. The exciting new LA songwriter, who’s just joined our family, is doing the ‘release thing’ a little differently with stunning double A-sides and an utterly captivating 15-minute film with cinematography from James Laxton – Academy Award nominated for his work on Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk.

Winning Voice coach and all round superstar Olly Murs kicks off his massive UK tour next Wednesday in Aberdeen. He plays two eagerly anticipated nights at London’s 02 May 17th and 18th. All the hits and more!!

If you’re not watching Liverpool v Huddersfield tonight, try and catch alt country star Ryan Bingham at the Union Chapel. Back of the net!

Rickie Lee Jones releases her newest collection of songs from the great American songbook, ‘Kicks’, June 7th on her own label, OSOD through Thirty Tigers. The album spans two decades (50s-70s) of pop, rock and jazz, presenting her unique and sophisticated interpretations of these classic songs.

The infectious lead track ‘Lonely People’, was originally a 1974 Top Five Billboard hit and is available as an instant grat with the purchase of the pre-release of the album.

2019 continues to be the year of Lewis Capaldi. Breaking records and capturing the nation, his eagerly awaited debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent is out May 17th on Virgin EMI. Lewis will also embark on his biggest ever UK headline tour which sold out in under a minute, including a night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, as well as festival dates and support shows across the summer with Ed Sheeran and The Killers.

Recorded over an 18 month period across London, New York & L.A., Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent is an ironically titled, but charismatically defining album that’s lyrically candid and an accurate snapshot into the ups and downs of growing up. Consisting of recordings that capture the charm & feeling of how they were originally written, including hit UK singles ‘Grace’, Bruises’ & ‘Someone You Loved’, Lewis’ stunningly identifiable voice, coupled with its turbulent themes of love, loss and heartache, make it a debut record that is unequivocally relatable.

Since debut track ‘Bruises’ exploded online in 2017, Capaldi has been able to boast incredibly rare markers in his still fledgling career. The young Scot, whose incredible humour sets him apart from fellow heartbreak songwriters, has already bagged a UK Number 1 platinum-selling  single with ‘Someone You Loved’, which has sat at #1 for six weeks, making it the biggest UK single of the year and one of the longest running #1 singles of the past 25 years. An extraordinary feat for an artist who continues to smash through boundaries at an alarming rate.

Lewis has also achieved successive Radio 1 A-List tracks, sold over 150,000 headline show tickets, enlisted the music video acting services of ex-Dr Who star Peter Capaldi, amassed over 600 million plays across streaming services & has sold out no less than three back-to-back headline tours, with demand outstripping supply at every turn. This all underlined with critical praise, being shortlisted for the 2019 Brits Critics’ Choice award, TV performances on The Jonathan Ross Show & Top Of The Pops, and making both the BBC’s Sound Of 2018 longlist and BBC Radio 1’s Brit List.

His personal achievements haven’t gone unnoticed by his musician peers either, with Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, The Killers, Rag’n’ Bone Man, Bastille & Niall Horan all offering Capaldi support shows to audiences on a gigantic scale. The young 22 year old who only 18 months previous had been plugging-in night-after-night into the local pub gig circuit of Glasgow, will now head out on the road in November to headline some of the countries most notable venues, including London’s O2 Academy Brixton.

2018 was a remarkable year for Lewis Capaldi, and as 2019 rolls on, things continue to get bigger and better. Lewis has taken pairing sad songs with an incredible wit, and a rampant social media following to match, and made it his very own. The results are hilariously beautiful.

Madonna will join British DJ Trevor Nelson and fans live from London for a conversation about the influences of her new album, and the creative forces behind her transcendent career.  “Medellín” collaborator and Colombian pop star Maluma will join live from Miami.
