DEALS
Warner Chappell has signed Greta Van Fleet to a worldwide publishing deal. “From the first time I saw Greta Van Fleet play at a tiny club in LA, I’ve wanted to work with them and knew immediately they were something special”, says SVP A&R US Greg Sowders. “They’re amazing songwriters and musicians who are reawakening that rock n roll spirit for the next generation of fans”.

RELEASES
Stevie Wonder has put out his first new music for fifteen years with two songs, ‘Where Is Our Love Song’ and ‘Can’t Put It In The Hands Of The Free’. The tracks are being put out through Wonder’s own Universal/Republic imprint, So What the Fuss Records, the first time in his career he’s not released through Motown.
Fred Again… has released new single ‘Jessie (I Miss You)’.
I Don’t Know How But They Found Me have released new track ‘Lights Go Down’.
Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas have announced that they will release new album ‘III’ on 20 Nov through Smalltown Supersound. From it, this is ‘Martin 5000’.
Susu have released new single ‘Break You’. It’s “a sonic baptism by etheric blues of dobro and acoustic washing over you”, they say. “Two powerful black voices become one as they invoke the mother with rhythmic compulsion; calling the pendulum back toward the feminine. There IS something bigger than US”.

GIGS & TOURS
Niall Horan has announced that he will play a livestreamed show at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 7 Nov to raise money for his tour crew. “I want to highlight the incredible people who work in touring that make those events possible and whose livelihoods have been severely affected”, he says. “I’m putting on this gig to try and raise awareness of the immense value they bring to an industry enjoyed by so many, and do something to help them and their families”.
Headie One has announced that he will tour the UK next May, including a show at Wembley Arena on 8 May. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
D-Block Europe have announced that they will tour the UK next May, including a show at the O2 Arena in London on 25 May. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
