MADEON’S SOPHOMORE ALBUM GOOD FAITH OUT NOW

Speaking about the new album, Madeon says, “I’ve been living this album every day for years and now it’s time to share it. I wanted to capture the colors of this mysterious, sometimes dangerous joy I’ve been feeling in episodes lately.

RISING LONDON ARTIST KHUSHI DEBUTS “LIKE A CITY”

Khushi recorded and produced Strange Seasons in a shed in east London over the past six years, pulling from more than a decade of songs and demos. Though Khushi originally released music under his own name in the early years of this decade, he took a several-year break to work on other music before returning to this deeply personal project, isolating himself in the shed to find his purest creative expressions. Toward the end of the process, Khushi was introduced to James Blake, who fell in love with the album and offered to mix it. This in turn led to Blake asking Khushi to contribute to his acclaimed album Assume Form, and to join him on his recent North American and U.K. tours as support.

To show them that we’re here for them, and that we should all be here for one another.” – James Hersey & ELI

FLETCHER RELEASES “ONE TOO MANY” TODAY

Over the course of the past year, FLETCHER has unveiled a series of songs that explore the many stages of post-breakup grief – beginning with “Undrunk” in January, which Billboard hailed as “the First Great Breakout Pop Song of 2019.” With her latest release, “One Too Many,” she’s one step closer to closure. But while the verses declare “I’m done with coming undone,” she launches one last salvo on the brutally honest, supremely relatable chorus.

Pretty Savage Releases Debut Single “Banger” Today

Pretty Savage was the only girl of three children. With her oldest brother as her best friend and the majority of her other friends male, she always considered herself just ‘one of the guys’.

A ‘tomboy’ in the most multidimensional sense of the term, whether it be her delivery or content, Pretty Savage’s bars come with a refreshing intensity and lyrical ferocity unmatched by her peers. After years of developing her craft and equipped with her whole city of Norfolk in her corner, Pretty Savage is poised to quickly skyrocket to super stardom.
