MANUFACTURING

🎹
Physical music product specialist Key Production has announced that is now a B Corp certified business, recognising its focus on social and environmental responsibility. "B Corp really spoke to me when I first came across it, and the process of achieving our certification helped provide a framework for much of what I've wanted to achieve”, says CEO Karen Emanuel. “But it doesn't end here. We'll carry on striving to be at the forefront of any improvements that can be achieved in terms of the supply chain within physical music manufacturing, and will continue to support the global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy”.

🛣️
The Streets have released new single ‘Each Day Gives’. New album ‘The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light’ is out on 13 Oct. “’Each Day Gives’ comes as the main characters [in the album’s accompanying film] are facing a dilemma and working out what to do after their plans go awry”, says Mike Skinner. “The song talks about overcoming little - and big - adversities and waking up each morning and treating it as a fresh start, until the next dilemma kicks in!”
🗯️
Madness will release new album ‘Theatre Of The Absurd Presents C’est La Vie’ on 17 Nov. First single ‘C’est La Vie’ is out now. The song, says keyboardist Mike ‘Barso’ Barson, is “about these crazy times we’re living in, and how I just want to stay on my boat and not be a part of all this madness. But, of course, I’m a member of a group called Madness. Perhaps we should have called ourselves Sanity”.
