FANTASIA ORCHESTRA will make their debut at the BBC Proms this summer, performing alongside renowned artists Sheku and Braimah Kanneh-Mason and Plínio Fernandes.

Much-loved British soulstress Alice Russell returns with a new, self-reflective single, “Rain” (release date: Thurs 30th Nov). Written and produced alongside long-time collaborator TM Juke, “Rain” is the first offering of new music from the iconic singer in over a decade and is one of her most personal songs to date.

The second of three brand new songs featured on the Danse Macabre album, ‘Black Moonlight’ sees Duran Duran reunited with long-time friend and collaborator Nile Rodgers in a timeless display of dance-rock glamour. Fueled by an instantly catchy bass line and infectious guitar hook, while Nick Rhodes’ synths sound.

Electronic-pop’s latest rising star INJI releases her debut EP LFG on Astralwerks. The 7-track body of work features previously released singles “GASLIGHT,” “BORED,” “MADELINE,” and “UNTZ UNTZ,” as well as three other unheard dancefloor hits. In INJI’s words: “I tried to encapsulate that feeling that makes you text your friends ‘LFGGG’.”

To celebrate the announcement, INJI has shared a brand-new summer bumper “UNTZ UNTZ.” Tongue-in-cheek, playful and irresistibly catchy, the dancefloor hit is another example of INJI’s subversive attitude towards electronic music, trademarked by her signature deadpan delivery and wildfire cynicism.

Idina Menzel is getting 'Dramatic' with her new album! BroadwayWorld sat down with Menzel to discuss giving back to the LGBTQIA+ community through the new album, feeling less apologetic with her music, and her upcoming 'unconventional' musical, Redwood.

The 5 track EP was produced by Dimitri Tikovoi and engineered by Drew Bang. It includes released singles Hey You and Enter The Room, plus the unheard Weapons. The track slides effortlessly into place within the EP, showcasing the band’s signature musicianship with its emotive lyrics.

INJI has released her new single “BORED” with one simple message: being bored is OUT. Humorously critiquing the stereotypical young adult who is “bored” with their life, INJI offers simple yet effective life-advice with matter-of-fact delivery, embellished with Inji’s signature tongue-in-cheek lyrics and wildfire cynicism.

The Ramona Flowers have released their latest single “Nothing More To Worry About,' which is available on all digital platforms now, via Distiller Records. A carefree, uplifting track “Nothing More To Worry About” is the perfect song to lead us into the summer as we reflect on recent history.
