Disclosure

"Waterfall (ft. Raye)"
 ELECTRONIC   FEEL GOOD   LOVE 

“Disclosure beckons you in with sweeping synth pads, tight hi-hats, and breathy, sighing vocals that are sure to make you blush”  – KCRW

Seven-time Grammy-nominated Disclosure share their newest single “Waterfall” featuring platinum-certified Raye. The song is an addictive slice of two-step garage that’s poised to soundtrack an early-blooming summer of sweaty dancefloors and festival fields. Since releasing their first project in 2013, Disclosure has gained over 14 million listeners on Spotify and billions of streams. Having collaborated with artists like Chloe x Halle, Sam Smith, Khalid, Flume, and more, this producer duo is taking new creative liberties with their new releases and we are here for it!

BANKS

"I Still Love You"
 PIANO   BALLAD   LOVE 

"The Priestess of Pop" – PAPER 

BANKS is back in a big way with her new song “I Still Love You”, the latest single off her highly anticipated fourth album Serpentina. Of the track, she says:  “I’ve held this song tight for over six years. It felt like a secret I wanted to keep just for myself. But I finally feel not only ready but so excited to share this with the world. It’s about loving someone you don’t talk to anymore. Missing the little things about them. Even the things you thought you hate. I hope you feel like you are sitting next to me when you listen. And I hope it’s as special to those who hear it as it is to me. ”

The Vaccines

"Disaster Girl"
 INDIE ROCK   DRIVING   ENERGETIC 

“The Vaccines provide explosive energy and warmth in volumes great enough to be remembered for quite some time to come” – Clash

English indie-rock band The Vaccines return with their energetic new single “Disaster Girl”. The song channels their craft through a modern and energetic lens, similar to their latest Top 5 UK album, Back In Love City, the band’s most euphoric, visceral, and visionary work to date. Since the band’s inception, they have sold over two million records worldwide, garnered over 500 million global streams, and received multiple award nominations including Brit, NME, and Q. Each of their albums so far has charted in the Top 5 in the UK, with the second album, Come Of Age, hitting #1. In this new era, “Disaster Girl” sees The Vaccines both perfecting a winning formula and pushing their sound forward, all while continuing to show how the best things in life get better with age.

Renao

"Holding My Breath"
 INDIE   GUITAR   EMOTIONAL 

Singer, songwriter and bedroom producer Renao follows up underground hit in the making “'Nobody” with “Holding My Breath”, a more reflective take on pop-influenced, guitar-led alternative pop.  Authentic and accessible, Renao eschewed a career as an Olympic Badminton hopeful to create art that references the aspirations of youth and pop culture, across road trips, parties and beach fires at sunset.  With only three singles out, Renao is already a truly global artist and we can’t wait to see him grow from here!
