Today, Multi-Platinum and chart-topping singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Lauv returns with a brand-new single entitled “26”, available everywhere now via Virgin Music Label and Artist Services. “26” marks his first release of the year and sets the stage for the arrival of his anxiously awaited second full-length album due to arrive later in 2022.
On the track, Lauv leans on a sped-up guitar riff and hypnotic beat, creating a nuanced soundscape over which his confessional lyrics paint vivid pictures with cinematic and reflective lines such as, “Can I tell you a story about a boy who broke his own heart? And he always blamed everybody else, but the truth is that he did it to himself.”
About “26,” Lauv shared, “I wrote 26 about growing up and trying to find your light, the one you lose touch with as you get older. It marks the moment I’m stepping back into the world and taking control of my narrative again.”
Such honesty definesLauv’s upcoming album. This time around, he opened up like never before to expand his signature sound. He focused on the storytelling and crafted an immersive and irresistible body of work steeped in moments of nostalgia, conflict, and, ultimately, self-empowerment.
Stay tuned for the premiere of an equally intimate and unforgettable accompanying music video.

The track is also written by a Korean singer-songwriter J.UNA (“Butterfly” Nevertheless OST).

Atlantic Records/Arthouse Records recording artist GAYLE has shared her eagerly anticipated new single. “ur just horny” is available now at all DSPs and streaming services HERE. 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 is joined by an official music video premiering today 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.
“‘ur just horny’ is about the time i crossed the line in a friendship that i thought was platonic for years,” says GAYLE. “after crossing the line i noticed that they started treating me differently – they weren’t as nice and outgoing and honestly i couldn’t recognize them anymore. i started catching them in little lies and my mind couldn’t help but wonder what else they’ve lied to me about before. writing ‘ur just horny’ for me was coming to that realization that they didn’t want to be my friend they just wanted to get into my pants – and that hurt. it’s hard to separate platonic, romantic, and sexual feelings and sometimes in friendships the lines can get blurry.”
“ur just horny” marks a spectacular follow-up to GAYLE’s breakthrough hit single, “abcdefu,” and precedes an upcoming EP due this spring. The gloriously irreverent “abcdefu” has fast proven a landmark debut for the 17-year-old, Nashville-based artist, now ascending the top 10 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” after reaching #1 on a range of charts, including currently sitting at #1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for a second week. Worldwide streams exceed 615M and counting with over 1 million equivalents singles sold, driving the track to hit #1 on both iTunes’ “Top Pop Songs” and overall charts and reach #1 on the Spotify Global chart, with an official music video currently boasts over 62M individual views via YouTube HERE. “abcdefu” has proven a worldwide phenomenon, earning gold certification in countries such as Canada and Norway while hitting #1 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart.
Recent press highlights include a Billboard magazine Chartbreakers feature that highlights GAYLE’s chart-topping success with “abcdefu.” 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 month with a captivating interview and electrifying performance of “abcdefu” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Joined by a live band, the 17-year-old singer gave an impassioned performance on vocals and electric guitar,” wrote Rolling Stone, while Billboard raved, “Though she politely put the f-bombs in the unedited original version on the shelf for the night to appease network censors. (GAYLE’s) amped-up performance provided further proof that the Plano, Texas native is a force to be reckoned with.”
GAYLE further marked the success of “abcdefu”with a compelling array of alternate versions showcasing different aspects to the strikingly versatile track. “abcdefu (demo),” “abcdefu (chill),” and “abcdefu (angrier)” are all streaming now via DSPs and streaming services. In addition, GAYLE joined forces with acclaimed alt-grunge artist Royal & the Serpent for a fiery new reimagining of “abcdefu,” available for streaming and HERE, with an official music video streaming now via YouTube HERE.
Recently featured as YouTube’s “Artist On The Rise,” an Amazon “Artist to Watch 2022,” and one of Billboard’s “21 Under 21: The Ones To Watch,” GAYLE has announced her first-ever run of headline dates, with intimate shows set for Nashville (March 9), Los Angeles (March 14), and New York City (March 22). Additional dates were announced after the first set sold out immediately, with second Nashville (March 10) and New York City (March 21) being added.

GRAMMY nominated and multi-platinum singer/songwriter/producer, Charlie Puth, today released his highly anticipated new song, “Light Switch.” After teasing clips of the song for months to his nearly 15 million fans on TikTok, you can now finally stream the song in full. Click HERE to listen.
“Light Switch,” produced by Puth and co-written with longtime collaborator JKash and Grammy-nominated songwriter Jake Torrey,underscores why he is one of the industry’s most consistent hitmakers and sought-after collaborators in music today. The moving and anthemic pop song, with Puth’s infectious vocals and signature falsetto, turns you on right away and you cannot switch it off.
Charlie says of “Light Switch,” which was well-documented on TikTok as he created it, “On the songwriting level, it was really cool to share this song with the fans while I made it, so they felt like they were involved at the very beginning of the song, like they almost wrote it with me.”
The official music video – directed by Christian Breslauer (The Weeknd, Lil Nas, Doja Cat) – humorously follows Charlie through all we do to capture that unrequited love. Watch the video HERE.
“Light Switch” is the first new song to be released from Puth’s upcoming new album, CHARLIE, via Atlantic Records. Recently featured on VOGUE’s “24 Hours With” series, Charlie says this album is his most personal ever and that, “I’ve never had a chance to put out music that is truly me and every song on this album is my personality with some melody attached to it.”
At only 30 years old, Puth is a Diamond Certified, 20x Platinum, 4x Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, who has garnered three Billboard Music Awards, a Critic’s Choice Award, and a Golden Globe nomination. Puth co-wrote and produced The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber’s record-breaking single, “Stay,” which quickly become one of the biggest songs of 2021 and holds the title for the longest-reigning No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and the first to lead it for double-digits – spending a total of eleven weeks at the top of the chart. Puth’s 2020 collaboration with Gabby Barrett on their “I Hope” Remix earned him his fourth top 10 track on the Billboard Hot 100, hit number one on the Billboard “Adult Pop Songs” chart, and won a 2021 Billboard Music Award for “Top Collaboration.” His 2018 GRAMMY-nominated LP, Voicenotes, was RIAA Certified Gold only four days after its release and has logged over 5.6 billion streams worldwide.
Hot on the heels of her sensational performance at the Head in the Clouds festival, Australia-born, Filipino singer-songwriter Ylona Garcia opens 2022 with a big bang with her much-anticipated brand new single, “Entertain Me” via PARADISE RISING/88rising Music.
Produced by DNA and written by Ylona herself together with David Musumeci and Antonio Egizii, “Entertain Me” is an anthemic synth-pop number about female empowerment. Characterized by a soaring backbeat and an infectious chorus, the song finds Ylona asserting her independence and dispelling the notion that she can be fooled and controlled by anyone.

A collection of new songs from FKA twigs will be released in early 2022.
ABOUT FKA TWIGS:
Throughout her career, including three EPs (EP1, EP2 and M3LL155X), her Mercury Prize and Brit Award-nominated debut album LP1, and latest release MAGDALENE, FKA twigs has established herself as one of the most innovative artists, performers, producers, and directors of her generation. MAGDALENE was named one of the best albums of 2019 by outlets including NPR, The Guardian, The New Yorker, Billboard, Complex, PAPER, TIME, USA Today and Vice, among others, and received a GRAMMY Award nomination for “cellophane” as best music video.

FKA twigs has taken a complete approach to every facet of her art and career, and has been honored with a Webby Special Achievement Award for her “incredible contributions to digital culture and for constantly using the internet to create and distribute experimental art.” She’s directed and starred in campaigns for Nike, Google Glass, Calvin Klein and Apple, and made her big screen debut in Honey Boy.
No Rome releases his highly anticipated debut album ‘It’s All Smiles’. Recorded in a small apartment in Manila after the pandemic prevented him returning to London, the album was co-produced by Rome with BJ Burton (Kanye West, Bon Iver, Charli XCX) and George Daniel (The 1975). Also revealed today is the video for ‘Remember November’, shot in Manila and directed by Paco Raterta, who also worked with Rome on the videos for ‘She Comes Around’ and ‘I Want U’.
In every sense of the phrase, ‘It’s All Smiles’ finds No Rome returning to his roots, both in terms of location and influences. As is immediately obvious from ‘When She Comes Around’, the record is the most refined expression of Rome’s self-coined term ‘Shoegaze R&B’. Vocal lines are indebted to the intense emotions expressed in R&B and run beautifully across highly textured production and instrumentation. Like Kevin Shields, the architect of My Bloody Valentine, No Rome paints with his production, taking straight-forward guitar playing and complicating it with the tools at his disposal.
New single ‘I Want U’ received its first play from Zane Lowe this week. As Rome explains, it began life in 2019 and helped form the foundations of the album
“this is the first song me and BJ worked on – that’s when we knew we were gonna make this album together. I wanted to do the lyrics more like talking, storytelling almost, painting the picture of what was happening that moment thru lyrics”
Originally written in the back of a tour bus in Las Vegas but never progressed beyond a demo, Rome picked the single back up last summer in Manila and this time it clicked. The final version features some of Rome’s finest lyricism to date and includes a host of found sounds in the beat—a nod to the DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing and other plunderphonics records that Rome obsessed over.
