Matt Goss returns with ‘Somewhere To Fall’; the first taste of new music from his forthcoming studio album ‘The Beautiful Unknown’. ‘Somewhere To Fall’ is released globally today.

‘Somewhere To Fall’ bears all the markings of a true Matt Goss classic with the star’s unmistakable vocal adding raw energy as it soars throughout, creating euphoric pop perfection. The track’s powerful, emotive lyrical impact is woven against modern, contemporary production that feels instantly anthemic and uplifting. This is a song that existing and new fans alike are going to rejoice in. ‘Somewhere To Fall’ marks a return to a genre that made Goss a household name and is a powerpop anthem that feels like a hit single in waiting.

Matt explains; “With ‘Somewhere to Fall’, I wanted to write an intelligent pop song, and I’ve disguised quite a heavy lyric within a joyous pop song. ‘Somewhere to Fall’ is about finding a safe place to rest our strength. That might be with a partner, in your home, a park bench, I don’t know where it is. But it’s somewhere for you.”

It was 6 months into the pandemic that realisation eventually pushed Goss back to his first love: songwriting. This next chapter sees Goss baring his soul for the world to see as well as emerging from a turbulent year stronger and more determined than ever before.

Early on Matt had a title for this new collection of songs that were pouring out of him – ‘The Beautiful Unknown’ was a phrase that came from the poetry Goss likes to write away from his musical projects. Explaining the phrase, he says: “We have been conditioned to fear tomorrow, to fear next week, to be fearful of next year certainly. Because there is this unknown energy around all of us – no time more than now. And I’ve been through the ringer during Covid, betrayed by some people, uplifted by others. So,’ The Beautiful Unknown’ is a request to people to come along with this philosophy that tomorrow is going to be a good day and a good place.”

Produced at the storied Record Plant in LA, with additional recording in Nashville, ‘The Beautiful Unknown’ is the album Matt Goss needed to make now.

“I wrote this song called ‘Shipwreck’ at 3am. It’s a song about not wanting to give up, about feeling broken, the analogy of a shipwreck underwater, the image of everything being slowly dismantled by the tide. And I kept writing the next night, and then I called Babyface. And him being a wonderful human being said he loved it and that I should come to his studio in LA and record it.”

That note of encouragement from Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, one of the all-time great producers, un-stoppered a new burst of creativity for Matt Goss. He also began collaborating with Jacob Bunton, the Emmy-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who’s worked with everyone from Mariah Carey to Steven Tyler, Smokey Robinson to Akon.

After 10 years, thousands of shows and hundreds of thousands of happy concert-goers, the British musical legend is leaving Las Vegas and has decided to come home to where it all began. Goss will still be based some of the time in Los Angeles, his home (alongside Las Vegas) for almost three decades. But his focus looking ahead is more on working and performing in the UK, the place that rocket-powered the teenage Goss to the top of the charts, cultural phenomenon status and a headline gig at Wembley Stadium – a feat that made Goss the youngest male ever to headline the legendary venue, a record he still holds today.

“I want to go back to my people and to my world,” he concludes. “I have to get back to pop. I’m so happy to say I’ve fallen back in love with pop music, and the power of pop music. There’s no hiding that on this record.”

From ‘Fairytale of New York’ to ‘Driving Home For Christmas’ we all have our

favourite Christmas hit. The kind that swirls around our consciousness every

December…

However, once in a while a track comes along in the festive period to join the

likes of Wizard, Chris Rea, Mariah Carey and the mighty Slade!

‘When Christmas Begins’ the new single from Sheffield based crooner Jack T

Harper pays homage to some of the greatest Christmas hits of the past 80

years, whilst featuring references to what people truly associate with

Christmas.

Listeners of ‘When Christmas Begins’ are taken on a whistle stop festive

journey, and a familiar Christmas favourite, Noddy Holder has come on board to

show his support to Jack and his festive single.

Upon hearing ‘When Christmas Begins’ Noddy (who had one of the greatest ever

Christmas songs with Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’) proclaimed “A very

atmospheric song. I’m a sucker for a good melody and a clever lyric. I’m still

sussing out all the historic messages from past Christmas songs”.

There’s an amazing game that listeners of ‘When Christmas Begins’ can play, to

see how many Christmas references they can hear in the track…. The more you

you hear the track the more references can be heard.

The South Londoner’s voice went international with the release of

GRAMMY-nominated number 1 I Got U with Duke Dumont & Jax Jones in 2014 which

went on to become one of the biggest songs of the year but unfortunately,

Kelli-Leigh was an uncredited vocalist. The powerhouse’s vocals also feature on the

club anthems, More Than Friends with James Hype, I Wanna Feel with Second City.

In 2021 Kelli-Leigh had a viral TikTok when she showed how many recognisable

dance tracks she has been the vocalist on, but people had no idea she was involved.

She puts this down to “being taken advantage of.” She also said she didn’t

understand the wider impact financially, and that “greater equality and opportunity

for women like [me]” would help these issues to begin to change.

With a career that includes over 500 million streams on Spotify, two UK number 1s

and three UK Top 10 hits, Kelli-Leigh is ready to break out and be known as a solo

artist in her own right, not just a voice you may have heard.

Dinosaurs, a pizza delivery boy, new wave and glam rock, the winding streets of big cities and labyrinthine underpasses from a home-made video game : this is the world of Rose Tiger.

Under this name hides the solo project of French artist Cyprien “Wendy” Jacquet (member of the french band Serpent and also drummer for Jehnny Beth), launched in 2017. With Rose Tiger, he has proven to be a gifted composer and multi-skilled musician, as talented behind his synths and computer as behind a mic or an electric guitar.

After two EPs, Wendy decided to move to London with the ambition to write his first rock opera. That is when Irene Gonzalez and Domi Hawken joined the project. And so, Rose Tiger embarked on a journey to the 70’s and the golden age of British rock, abandoning the 80’s synths and drum machines and bringing back guitars, bass and drums to the centre of the their music.

With 16M SPOTIFY STREAMS to date c/o it’s French release since release in January of 2022, COLORBLAST’s version of the POLICE classic “MESSAGE  IN A BOTTLE” on Virgin Records, went on to become a GOLD CERTIFIED single too.

Here in the UK we start the launch of the single off with two exclusive new club remixes from KOKIRI and JAMES HURR, both out this Friday !

Royal Hustle are Bournemouth based DJ duo Giles Livesey & Aza Khider.
Starting out as residents at Foreverland, Royal Hustle released two tracks “Work It” & “Through My Eyes” on Foreverland’s own record label imprint. After that they had two big club hits on New State c/o “Forever” & “Without You”, at which time they also officially remixed Katy Perry’s hit single “Daisies”.
Royal Hustle produce, write & even sing on their main releases, which includes “Feels Like” & have a massive collaboration incoming with a big Universal Records dance act, coming in 2023 !
Happy? Recordings went on to sign the boys biggest release to date “Headrush”, which had remixes from Redondo & Malarkey.

15-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and globally-celebrated music superstar Alicia Keys announces Santa Baby, her first-ever holiday album which will be released on November 4 exclusively on Apple Music in spatial audio.

The 11-track album will feature Keys’ soulful, raw, fresh reimagining of seven beloved holiday classics as well as four original songs written by Keys. The album was recorded this summer while Alicia was on her sold-out European tour.  The album’s first single “December Back 2 June” will be released October 28.

“I love this music! It feels so good!” says Keys. “I picked each song based on my all-time favorites and I wrote the new ones based on real holiday emotions and stories. The holidays are such a beautiful time to slow down, be with the ones you love and make meaning! Santa Baby is definitely going to be the perfect holiday soundtrack. I can’t wait for you to fall in love with it.”

Keys will be performing live music from Santa Baby on national TV in the coming weeks, to be announced.

Santa Baby arrives just in time for the holiday season on the heels of Keys’ sold-out North American leg of her wildly successful ALICIA + KEYS World Tour, which earned rave reviews. The New York Post dubbed Keys “already-legendary,” Los Angeles Magazine hailed her as “an icon in her own right,” and the Tampa Bay Times deemed her “one of the greatest musicians and singers of all time.”  The ALICIA + KEYS World Tour, which saw Keys play 33 shows across the U.S. and Canada, featured a long list of the artist’s musical collaborators who made guest appearances across the tour. Those guests included Jill Scott, Brandi Carlile, Miguel, Khalid, Lucky Daye, Brent Faiyez and H.E.R., among others.
