• Julia Michaels has released the video for ‘What A Time’, her collaboration with Niall Horan.
• Diplo has released new track ‘Nine Shapes’, featuring Octavian. “I met Octavian at a party in London”, says the producer. “We took a photo and I never thought I would see the kid again. Over the next six months I kept hearing his name and seeing him on great songs. I tried to stay in touch even though he had another twelve phone numbers since we met. Finally, he was stuck in LA for a while and it was easy to pull up on him. After a few weeks we nailed this song and I’m glad it gets to finally see the light of day”.
