RELEASES
A load of sports stars, including James Haskell, Jeremy Irvine and Darren Gough, have joined together as Rig Aid to make a bid for Christmas number one. Proceeds from the single will go to the Restart Rugby charity. The track is out on 18 Dec. Here’s a trailer.
Giggs has released the video for ‘I’m Workin’, featuring Jorja Smith, from his ‘Now Or Never’ album.
Wargasm have released the video for new single ‘Rage All Over’.
Anna Straker has released new single ‘Break Up Song’. “I wrote ‘Break Up Song’ the morning after a massive argument I had with my boyfriend”, she says. “It captures the angst and fear and desperation you feel when you fight with your lover. When you’ve been with someone a long time and feelings build up and release in such an explosive way, it’s consuming. I love the dance floor energy of this heartbreak anthem”. Her new EP, ‘Growing Pains’, is out on 11 Dec.
Ragz Originale has released new track ‘OG Lullaby’.
