RELEASES

Sam Smith‘s new album will released on 1 May, titled ‘To Die For’. The title track is out as a single today. “I’m more proud of this album than anything I’ve ever done”, says Smith. “I’ve really set myself free the last two years whilst writing this and I hope you can dance and relate to these stories”.

Grimes has released new single ‘Delete Forever’, which she says is about “losing friends to the opioid crisis and the self-hatred that arises when the grieving process mimics the behaviours that cost your friends their lives”.

Tim Burgess has released new single ‘Empathy For The Devil’, and announced that he will release new solo album, ‘I Love A New Sky’, on 22 May through Bella Union.

Producer RAC has released a cover of Third Eye Blind’s ‘Never Let You Go’, featuring Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma. “This started as an inside joke, something we were doing just for the fun of it”, says RAC. “I think you can hear that in the song. Sometimes the best things come out when you’re not really trying”.
