The R&B newcomer celebrates love “in all its beautiful complexities”.
Multi-talented recording star Denise Julia continues to shape the trajectory of Filipino R&B with her debut mini-album, Sweet Nothings (Chapter 1), out this Friday, November 17, 2023, via Sony Music Entertainment.
Nestled between effortless cool and feminine grace, the hitmaker’s 7-track record essays the highs and lows of romantic commitment in the era of perpetual screentime and brief attention spans. With a sweet voice that flutters gently above sonic flourishes, Denise Julia speaks her mind with wisdom beyond her years, delivering the material as if it were part of her joy, pain, and experience.
“This album isn’t just a bunch of songs; it’s like a journey through all the different parts of love—from the exciting beginnings to the tough endings, and finally, to those sweet, lingering moments,” the NVMD artist reveals in a statement. “Sweet Nothings is like looking back at my own experiences and the stories of others that touched me. It’s like a musical trip exploring the different sides of love.”
Combining R&B sensibilities with a modern touch of jazzy soundscapes, hip-hop beats, and suave instrumentation, Denise Julia takes reign of her narrative as she deals with different facets of love: the rough parts, the reassuringly sweet edges, and the meaty center, all of which make the experience worth rummaging for. As the young music icon explains it, “Each song talks about a different part of this feeling we all know.”
Denise Julia’s new album features production from her constant and trusted collaborators, including Joel Tracks, a prolific producer based in Nigeria; J.Greg and Duaneinsane, who played pivotal roles in bringing her vision to life; and Neo Cruz, who is responsible for making “Butterflies” a sultry number with signature smooth melodies.
Norwegian-Filipina artist and multi-instrumentalist HILLARI and acclaimed alt-R&B experimentalist Jason Dhakal also join Denise Julia on “Roster” and “Bum 2 Me,” respectively, adding an interesting dimension to the album’s delicately sparse but genuinely sophisticated sound.
There’s also the inescapable crossover hit “B.A.D.,” featuring acclaimed rapper P-Lo, whose style and flow complement Julia’s incredible vocal chops. To date, the catchy R&B jam has racked up more than 2 million streams on Spotify since its release, peaking at No. 66 and still going strong.
“Working alongside these musical geniuses was a transformative experience, offering me invaluable insights and learnings,” the R&B sensation shares. ‘Their expertise and creativity elevated the project to new heights, and I am truly grateful for the collaborative synergy that shaped the outcome.”
The album’s focus track, “Lackin’,” serves as another highlight: an airy lullaby that was inspired by one of her dreams. Denise Julia told her producers about how the dream felt like a “ghost in her mind” and that she had to immediately write the track over that ringing, familiar melody.
She adds, “I remember the pressure and excitement during the studio session, especially in the intro. This track stands out as one of my best-written pieces, capturing the raw emotion of a relationship where one person was lacking, yet I expressed the belief that the tables would turn and they’d crave my presence in return.”

Following a year of staggering losses, personal introspection, and bittersweet remembrances, Foo Fighters return with But Here We Are, out June 2 on Roswell Records/RCA Records.
A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year, But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship, and family. Courageous, damaged, and unflinchingly authentic, But Here We Are opens with the newly released lead single “Rescued,” the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, But Here We Are is in nearly equal measure the 11th Foo Fighters album and the first chapter of the band’s new life. Sonically channeling the naiveté of Foo Fighters’ 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.
But Here We Are is available for pre-order now, with all pre-orders including “Rescued” as an instant grat. The album’s tracklist is as follows:
Rescued
Under You
Hearing Voices
But Here We Are

Beyond Me
The Teacher
Rest

TO RELEASE HIS SOUL-BARING NEW ALBUM ‘-‘ (SUBTRACT) ON 5 MAY Through ASYLUM/ATLANTIC (PRE ORDER)
Ed Sheeran is set to release his new album ‘-‘ (Subtract) – the last in his decade-spanning mathematical album era – on 5 May 2023 through Asylum/Atlantic. An album that revisits Ed’s singer/songwriter roots, and one that was written against a backdrop of personal grief and hope, ‘-’ (Subtract) presents one of the biggest stars on the planet at his most vulnerable and honest.
In Ed’s own words – “I had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be. Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.
Writing songs is my therapy. It helps me make sense of my feelings. I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week, I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts.
Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth. My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety.
I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.
As an artist I didn’t feel like I could credibly put a body of work into the world that didn’t accurately represent where I am and how I need to express myself at this point in my life. This album is purely that. It’s opening the trapdoor into my soul. For the first time I’m not trying to craft an album people will like, I’m merely putting something out that’s honest and true to where I am in my adult life.
This is last February’s diary entry and my way of making sense of it. This is Subtract.”
Since he first learnt ‘Layla’ by Eric Clapton on guitar at the age of 12-years-old, Sheeran’s love of the singer/songwriter began. Growing up with the likes of Damian Rice, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan playing on repeat in his parents’ house – artists that his dad, John, introduced him to – ‘-‘was always on Ed’s horizon. Yet as the songs and writing process took on a whole new meaning and direction after a series of hard-hitting events impacted Ed’s world in 2022, one thing that remained untouched was his strong desire to make a record anchored in his love of singer/songwriter compositions. And now, as he gears-up for the release of his most soul-baring work to date, ‘-‘ serves as a timely reminder for why Sheeran remains one of the most gifted lyricists of his generation; an artist who breaks down his own experiences for fans to seek comfort and belonging.
‘-‘ is the result of Sheeran pushing the boundaries of his songcraft, as he delivers the most profound songwriting of his career. Teaming-up with Aaron Dessner (The National) on writing and production after the pair joined forces following an introduction from mutual friend Taylor Swift, Ed and Aaron began crafting the album in February last year. Writing over 30 songs during their month-long studio stint, the album’s fourteen tracks are seamlessly tied together by exquisite production from paired back, folk-leaning textures to bolder, full-band/orchestral arrangements.
Ed Sheeran burst onto the UK music scene in 2011 with his debut album ‘+’. Rapidly establishing himself as a history-making artist, he followed with ‘x’, ‘÷’, ‘No.6 Collaborations Project’ and ‘=’ – a catalogue that has seen Sheeran become one of the world’s biggest musical success stories of the 21st century.

“This record is called Moss because I’ve been gathering a lot in the last few years,” Hawke says about the album. “Sitting still and collecting a green blanket of memories and feelings. Making this record was me trying to get up and shake it off and look at all of it. It was the first step in untangling myself and really trying to look at the rock under the moss.”
The album’s debut single, “Thérèse,” gives a stunning glimpse of the new record and is available to stream and download now. Hawke says about the single, “Thérèse is inspired by a painting but about feeling hemmed in and stuck. Stuck as the version of yourself that someone else created. Click HERE to listen.

About Conan Gray:
Since releasing original demos on his YouTube channel at the age of 15, Conan Gray has emerged as one of the pre-eminent pop superstars of his generation. Even after the commercial success of global multi-platinum hits “Heather” (which earned its own Urban Dictionary entry) and “Maniac”, his music continues to maintain its unflinching authenticity and originality. Gray’s debut album, Kid Krow, crafted by Gray and longtime collaborator and producer Dan Nigro, reached #5 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart and became the biggest new artist debut of the year. In the summer of 2020, when “Heather” topped charts around the world, Sir Elton John publicly praised Gray for being the only artist on the Spotify top 50 to have written the song entirely on their own. With over 7 billion streams, he has attracted unanimous applause from a who’s who of tastemakers including Vogue, GQ, V Man, Paper, Fader, Billboard, NPR, MTV, I-D, Wonderland, Clash, Notion, and has delivered rapturous performances on television shows such as Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and The Today Show. At the same time, Gray earned the recognition of fashion arbiters, claiming a spot on “Best Dressed” lists from the likes of Teen Vogue and making a splash during his MET Gala debut. In 2022, he headlined a SOLD-OUT world tour, lighting up New York’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, and leaving the main stage of Coachella begging for more. However, he reaches another creative stratosphere on his sophomore album, Superache, reteaming with Nigro. Now, he delivers the definitive Gen-Z alternative manifesto.

Multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott has released his newest sublime single“Heaven,” with Darren from the Philippines— listen HERE. Along with sharing the triumphant and timeless ballad, Calum has announced that his highly awaited sophomore album Bridges is now out on all music streaming platforms. Soon after the album’s release, the U.K.-based artist will embark on a headlining summer tour of North America.
The fourth single released from Bridges, “Heaven” once again reveals Calum’s gift for finding unexpected ways to express universal emotions. “As songwriters, we’re always searching for new ways of saying ‘I miss you’ or ‘I love you’ or ‘I want you back,’” says Calum, who co-wrote “Heaven” with Hayley Warner (an Australian singer/songwriter who’s also penned songs for artists like Katy Perry and Tori Kelly). “‘The concept of ‘Heaven’ is the love between two people being so powerful that it is far superior to anything else, any other form of paradise that could be offered. I loved the idea of putting the power into the relationship.”
Produced by Fraser T. Smith, “Heaven” unfolds in a dynamic arrangement of soulful piano work, luminous strings, and elegantly swinging drumbeats — a glorious backdrop to Calum’s masterful vocal performance. “It felt important to really push my vocal range on a song like this, so by the first chorus I’m already up in the rafters,” he says. “But if you’re talking about something so passionate, it should be delivered in a very passionate way.” Threaded with lyrics that offer a certain poetic wisdom (e.g., “What good is life if we’re all just waiting to dance in the sky?”), the result is a breathtaking tribute to living in the moment by fully surrendering to love.
The follow-up to Calum’s 2018 full-length debut Only Human — a widely acclaimed effort that hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnering over 7.5 billion combined streams — Bridges will also feature the previously released singles “If You Ever Change Your Mind”(a bittersweet but empowered piece produced by Greg Kurstin, an eight-time GRAMMY Award® winner known for his work with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Adele), “Rise” (a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst), and “Biblical” (a heart-on-sleeve ballad Calum later followed with an American Sign Language version made in collaboration with the Tony Award®-winning Deaf West Theatre). Fans can now listen to the album, HERE.

K-pop Stage-breakers SEVENTEEN unwaveringly march forth with 4th album Face the Sun
A manifestation of SEVENTEEN’s fortitude in relentlessly looking up, fueled by unstoppable passion
Quintessential embodiment of the leading K-pop act’s high-caliber performances and fiercely independent spirit
After announcing to the world the beginning of a new era with their first English single “Darl+ing,” K-pop Stage-breakers SEVENTEEN resolutely venture forth towards new heights and uncharted paths with their 4th studio album Face the Sun.
SEVENTEEN shared a glimpse into the album through a series of 13 trailers titled ’13 inner shadows’ leading up to the release, with each episode presenting an eerie depiction of the 13 members’ debilitating fears. Admitting to these fears through the trailers, SEVENTEEN deftly move past their inner shadows, turn all self-doubt into aspirations for what lies ahead, and embark on a new journey to Face the Sun.
# Face the Sun- A manifesto of SEVENTEEN’s ambitions yet to be fulfilled
Face the Sun is an album that transparently captures SEVENTEEN’s ambition to become a force that resembles the Sun – a one of a kind being with unswerving influence. The album tracks the 13-piece act as they navigate their own path, determined not to be hindered by fears and the adversity ahead.
As with many of the band’s previous hits, SEVENTEEN’s Vocal unit leader WOOZI co-wrote all of the 9 tracks that complete the album. Members including S.COUPS, HOSHI, WONWOO, MINGYU, VERNON and DINO also participated in composition and penning the lyrics, together building an album imbued with SEVENTEEN’s thoughts, emotions and dedication to their artistry.
# From a fear to a dream, from ‘I’ to ‘us’ … 9 powerhouse tracks for those that venture forth
The K-pop Stage-breakers’ 4th studio album Face the Sun ultimately resonates with the cathartic release of making the courageous choice to confront your inner shadows. It takes listeners from the moment of facing your deepest fear, through the grand dreams that emerge in overcoming these fears, and finally to the idea of ‘us’ coming together to move past the weight of our fears and face a new world.
As an album that reflects the team of 13 diverse creatives’ honest ruminations and sets a kinetic tone to what lies ahead, Face the Sun will relay a message of courage and solidarity – an encouragement to SEVENTEEN themselves and their listeners around the world, to not only face but now reach the Sun as ‘TEAM SEVENTEEN.’
Tracklist
1. Darl+ing
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, HWANG HYUN (MonoTree) / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, Shannon / Arranged by WOOZI, BUMZU, HWANG HYUN (MonoTree)
“Darl+ing” is a declaration of SEVENTEEN’s heartfelt wish for their music to serve as a link between its listeners and the act. Based on a minimal but addictive chorus and a unique line of synths, the pop track reflects upon the 13-piece act’s admiration for the idea of ‘you and I’ being bound by sincere affection for one another. As their first-ever English song that illustrates their wholehearted wish to stay as ‘one’, SEVENTEEN speak to the hearts of their listeners across the world through “Darl+ing.”
2. HOT *Lead Single
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Tim Tan, Dan August Rigo, Ploypaworawan Praison, SOFTSERVEBOY(153/Joombas), Alex Keem(153/Joombas) / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, Dan August Rigo, Ploypaworawan Praison
A compelling interplay of elements of hip-hop and guitar riffs completes the lead single “HOT.” In the bold expression of SEVENTEEN’s determination to walk their own path under the ‘piercing rays of the Sun,’ whistle sounds overlaid throughout the track add a touch of groove, while hints of autotune act as a breath of fresh air. The hip-hop based track encapsulates a riveting listen into the band’s dedication to the path they are on.
3. DON QUIXOTE
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Tommy Brown, Steven Franks, Melanie Joy Fontana, Michel “Lindgren” Schulz / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, WONWOO, Michel “Lindgren” Schulz, Melanie Joy Fontana
As striking vocals soar through this hybrid track of rock and hip-hop, “DON QUIXOTE” recounts the story of the fictional character that chivalrously continues his adventures, paying tribute to such courage and tenacity.
4. March
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Park Kitae (PRISMFILTER) / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU / Arranged by BUMZU, Park Kitae (PRISMFILTER)
The powerful rock-based track “March” meticulously weaves synths with guitar sounds to the uplifting backdrop of a shuffle rhythm, delivering the message from SEVENTEEN to all their listeners to valiantly march alongside them as ‘TEAM SEVENTEEN.’
5. Domino
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Sara Davis, Cameron Walker, Jordan Witzigreuter / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU,MINGYU, Sara Davis, Cameron Walker, Jordan Witzigreuter
“Domino” likens the state of a ‘swayed heart’ that is more than ready to fall in love to a domino tile on the verge of collapse. As elements of alternative house and pop intertwine, “Domino” sets a snappy and exciting ambience with synths and vocal chops.
6. Shadow
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, DINO, Johan Fransson, Ryan Lawrie, Matt Thomson, Max Lynedoch Graham, Gabriel Brandes / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, DINO
In comparing the darker sides of one’s heart to a ‘shadow,’ the pop rock track of “Shadow” speaks to the realization that ‘shadows’ are a part of ‘who I am’. Striking vocals meld with drums and bass sounds, illustrating the flux of emotions that follow in accepting and embracing the darker hues as a part of the full palette.
7. ‘bout you (노래해)
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Park Kitae (PRISMFILTER) / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU / Arranged by Park Kitae (PRISMFILTER)
“‘bout you” alludes to the lyrics of the leading K-pop act’s debut track “Adore U” in conveying their affection towards ‘TEAM SEVENTEEN’ without a moment of hesitation. A gospel-based track that fuses hip-hop and samples from a choir, the animated and witty “‘bout you” brings listeners into the depths and breadths of one’s affection towards a loved one.
8. IF you leave me
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Nmore (PRISMFILTER) / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, S.COUPS, HOSHI / Arranged by BUMZU, Nmore (PRISMFILTER)
“IF you leave me” is an immersive track of a candid sentimentality that endearingly asks everyone that has been with SEVENTEEN through all their ups and downs to ‘always stay by their side.’ The minimalistic sound of the track accentuates the intricacies of the lyrics and the melody that raise this wholehearted ballad to perfection.
9. Ash
Composed by WOOZI, BUMZU, Vernon, Robb Roy, Nick Lee, Kyan Palmer / Lyrics by WOOZI, BUMZU, Vernon, Robb Roy
With vocals complemented by heavy autotune, “Ash” paints a picture of SEVENTEEN setting all boundaries and restrictions on fire so as to leave nothing but ashes behind.

Racking up 2 billion streams and selling 10 million albums, SEVENTEEN—comprised of S.COUPS, JEONGHAN, JOSHUA, JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO, WOOZI, THE 8, MINGYU, DK, SEUNGKWAN, VERNON and DINO—has rocketed to the forefront of the music scene fueled by a fiercely independent spirit and a nonpareil in-house creative ecosystem. The group’s innovative structure hinges on the interplay of three units: hip-hop, vocal, and performance. Living up to the title of “K-pop Stage-breakers,” SEVENTEEN have unassumingly made history and become one of the biggest groups ever due to their world-class synchronization, jaw-dropping choreography, and tight teamwork. Moving at an unparalleled pace, the K-pop stage-breakers made their U.S. television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden in January 2021 and followed it with unforgettable performances on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and MTV’s Fresh Out Live. SEVENTEEN’s latest EP Attacca debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and No. 13 on the Billboard 200. It sold over 1.3 million copies in the first week of release, earning the K-pop superstars the “quintuple million seller” title as it joins their last four consecutive releases—AnOde,Heng:garæand ;[Semicolon],YourChoice—in selling over 1 million copies each.
The amazing U.S. debut comes hot on the heels of Harry’s massive international success where the album has entered charts at #1 in over 17 countries, earning the biggest selling album of the year in the U.K. and landing #1 in Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Sweden, New Zealand, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Finland, Spain, and Denmark.
Harry has also accomplished rare chart doubles in multiple countries as both Harry’s House and “As It Was” have simultaneously topped the album and singles charts in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Belgium.
In the U.S. “As It Was” returns to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth week and Harry debuts three additional songs in the Top 10 (“Late Night Talking,” “Music For A Sushi Restaurant,” and “Matilda”), with the full album charting in the top 30. Styles joins The Beatles, who achieved the feat for five weeks in 1964, as the only British acts ever with four concurrent Hot 100 Top 10’s.
Further, Harry is only the third-ever artist to occupy the entire Top 3 of the U.K. singles chart as the lead single “As It Was” remains at #1, notching up an eighth week to make it the longest-running chart-topper of the year. The rest of the U.K. Top 3 is rounded out with “Late Night Talking” and “Music for a Sushi Restaurant.” In Australia, Harry dominates the ARIA singles charts with all 13 tracks from the new album in the Top 15, a new record. He also becomes the first artist in ARIA chart history to simultaneously hold the Top 4 songs and breaks the record for the most Top 10 hits with 8 currently in the Top 10. “As It Was” remains the biggest song in the world logging an eighth week at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, extending its reign as 2022’s longest running single and earns the most weeks at #1 for a British artist in chart history.
Harry’s House also breaks a modern-era record for single-week vinyl album sales in its first 3 days of release, selling 182k copies in the U.S. for the week, the biggest sales week for an album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991, beating the previous high of 114k set last year by Taylor Swift’s RED. In the U.K., the vinyl sold 36k, becoming the best-selling vinyl of the century, beating ABBA’s previous record of 29k. The album also outsold the rest of the Top 40 U.K. combined vinyl album chart this week, earning the fastest selling album of 2022 so far, earning gold certification in a week. In Australia, he claims the biggest sales in one week since the start of the Vinyl Albums chart in 2019, overtaking Tame Impala’s The Slow Rush.
Harry celebrated the album release with a special ‘ONE NIGHT ONLY IN NEW YORK’ live show at UBS arena in New York performing the new album for the first time ever. Relive the concert with the ‘Apple Music Live: Harry Styles’ stream on Apple Music HERE. He will kick off Love on Tour in support of Harry’s House in stadiums and arenas across the world this summer, starting June 11 in Glasgow. See full list of dates at https://www.hstyles.co.uk/.

“when i was younger, i had an image in my head of who i was to be as i got older. how i was going to act, dress, what type of friends i would have, and the things i wouldn’t do until i was married or twenty one. then i grew up and stuck to none of it. for a while, i didn’t know why the things that were so important to me when i was younger no longer were important. then i realized what i wanted in life had just changed, and that’s ok. a study of the human experience volume one is about my life experiences and the experiences of those i collaborated with on this project. for me, growing up is all about making mistakes and learning from them. it just sucks sometimes that i have to make so many to learn.” – GAYLE
Chart-topping pop singer-songwriter GAYLE has unveiled her eagerly awaited debut EP- a study of the human experience volume one arrives via Atlantic Records/Arthouse Records today; available now HERE.
a study of the human experience volume one sees GAYLE continuing to reveal a larger-than-life personality and willingness to expose her deepest insecurities and desires through her unfiltered yet beautifully nuanced brand of songwriting. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a summation of GAYLE’s experiences as a teen, filled with lessons learned and failed friendships,” the EP includes the 17-year-old, Nashville-based artist’s newly RIAA platinum certified, billion-streaming, worldwide #1 breakthrough hit “abcdefu” alongside its spirited follow-up, “ur just horny,” and the rocking new single, “luv starved,” the latter of which is joined by an official music video premiering across a range of MTV platforms, airing at the top of every music hour on MTV LIVE, MTV Biggest Pop, and MTVU, and streaming now via YouTube HERE.
Written by GAYLE, Jonny Shorr, and Sara Davis, “luv starved” is a track that ponders whether love is worth the risk, or if just lust will do. “i had made so many mistakes when it came to my relationships and love life,” says GAYLE. “i pushed every possibility of it away until somebody came into my life that i didn’t want to push away, and i couldn’t tell if it would be worth it or not to open myself up to the possibility of caring about somebody deeply.”
Earlier this week, GAYLE visited CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden for a spectacular live performance of “ur just horny,” streaming HERE. GAYLE is currently celebrating a study of the human experience volume one with a wide-ranging international live schedule that includes her largely sold out feeling it together headline tour, special guest runs alongside AJR and Tate McRae, and her sold out overseas debut performance. The dates – which follow an earlier series of intimate headline shows that were met with such high demand they sold out within moments – continue through late May.

Recently praised by Rolling Stone as being “on top of the world — and its charts” and declared “the breakout song of 2022” by NYLON, “abcdefu” has quickly proven a landmark debut for GAYLE, recently earning RIAA Platinum certification while standing tall at #1 at Top 40 radio outlets nationwide. The track hit #3 on Billboard’s overall “Hot 100” having already topped a range of worldwide charts, including holding #1 on both the “Billboard Global Excl. U.S.” chart for nine consecutive weeks and the “Billboard Global 200” for four consecutive weeks. Now with over 1B worldwide streams, “abcdefu” previously ascended to #1 on the Spotify Global chart as well as iTunes’ “Top Pop Songs” and overall charts. A worldwide phenomenon with gold and platinum certifications around the globe, “abcdefu” is joined by official music video currently boasting over 100M official views.
GAYLE followed up with “ur just horny.” produced by Daylight (gnash, Shawn Mendes) and Pete Nappi (Thirty Seconds To Mars, Madison Beer, Shinedown), and written by GAYLE, Daniel Kyriakides (Sylvan Esso, K. Flay), and Sara Davis, the track was met by immediate popular success, amassing over 18M streams in just over a month since its release.
Fearlessly honest and undeniably magnetic, GAYLE has swiftly earned critical applause from high profile media outlets everywhere while also being named a YouTube “Artist On The Rise,” an Amazon “Artist to Watch 2022,” MTV’s “February Global Push Artist,” and one of Billboard’s “21 Under 21: The Ones To Watch,” to name just a few of her fast accruing accolades. Hailed by FLAUNT for “her own sound blending the genres of pop, alternative, rock, and R&B into one,” GAYLE made her late night network TV debut earlier this year with a captivating interview and electrifying performance of “abcdefu” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

After the curtain falls there’s a small tremor that slowly started in the dark and silence and the scared heart becomes filled with shinning light, and we promise and sing a song to be forever together again.
Starting with quiet piano performance, various instruments gradually fill the space. In the second half of the song, the members’ chanting and ad-lib contain the album’s final narrative, and it ends by illustrating the mixed emotions at the end of the waiting and the beginning of a new start.
If ‘The Song’ was carrying a message “I’ll call you”, the album’s outro, ‘Encore’, is telling a message to “Call me”, and these messages finally come together to complete the name of the album, “Be Together”. They will continue to leave their traces together.
