MANESKIN RELEASE EAGERLY ANTICIPATED NEW SINGLE âGOSSIPâ FEATURING TOM MORELLO
Picture Credit: Fabio Germinario
Today, globally dominating rock band MĂĽneskin have released their new single âGossipâ featuring the legendary Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band and more. Listen HERE.
Fierce with a rapid, infectious and hammering guitar hook, MĂĽneskinâs latest offering continues to reaffirm their status as a genuine force in rockânâroll. The single is taken from their upcoming album RUSH! Set for release on January 20. The album is available to pre-order/save HERE.
Discussing working with Tom Morello on the forthcoming new single, the band say:
âTom Morelloâs enormous experience allowed us to take cues on how to work on tracks without overthinking. We canât thank him enough for joining us on this track. Itâs an honour for the whole band!â - Damiano
âHe brought some Rage to MĂĽneskin!â - Ethan
âTom is one of the greatest musicians that I've always listened to and learned from. Playing with him is a dream come true. Itâs an enormous gift and a personal highlight of this incredible yearâ - Thomas
âThe song originated from a riff which Thomas had written some time ago and which we had been holding onto for a long time which we kept developing. Then the icon Tom Morello joined and brought something extra to the classic uptempo MĂĽneskin cheerfulness.â - Vic
Tom Morello goes on to say âWhen I heard that there was a rock and roll band from Italy that was blowing up around the world I was like âReally? Come onâ. Then when I saw them play live I was blown away. They are unapologetically loud, unapologetically sexy, and unapologetically ROCKING and deserve to be one of the standard bearers for rock and roll for a younger generation. I got to jam with them at their studio in Hollywood, itâs a great band, they all play great, they write great songs, they connect with their audience in a deep and meaningful way, and if youâve seen them play live the crowd goes OFF! It looks a lot like some of the big bands of the â90sâ.
Produced mainly by Max Martin and Fabrizio Ferraguzzo, the album was recorded in LA, Italy and Tokyo and features previously released singles âSupermodelâ with its Californian sound and infectious modern rock grooves, the incredibleâMammamiaâ, and most recently, âThe Loneliestâ, an ode to classic old-school rock ballads with its roaring vocals and electrifying guitar solos that are tinged with elegant delicacy.

VEDO TEAMS UP WITH CHRIS BROWN FOR LONG-AWAITED COLLABORATION ON NEW SINGLE âDO YOU MINDâOFF OF HIS UPCOMING STUDIO ALBUM MOOD SWINGS
VEDO has teamed up with Megastar Chris Brown to kick off the year with one of R&Bâs biggest releases. Do You Mind is the second single from the Platinum R&B Singer Songwriters 6th studio album entitled, Mood Swings, which is set to release on Friday, January 13th. Produced by Spiff Sinatra (Drake, 21 Savage, Future, Cordae, Latto) and Hero the Producer (Dreamville, Tee Grizzley) the catchy upbeat record has already caught the attention of dancers who have been creating choreography to the fun and flirty track since its midnight release.
Listen to âDo You Mindâ feat Chris Brown
VEDO has been on an undeniable yet monumental rise over the last few years that has ultimately led to this moment. When asked about how this collaboration came about, he shares; âDo You Mind was actually written a while ago and is just now being released. The collaboration happened because I stayed persistent. I had asked CB on separate occasions to do a verse on a song and his reply would be I donât think itâs time. His reasoning was that he didnât want to overshadow me on the song, he wanted me to keep building a presence so that the song wouldnât become a âChris Brownâ feat VEDO record. I had to respect that.â
The R&B duo are no strangers to penning hits together as VEDO shared in Chrisâ recent Grammy nomination for âWarm Embraceâ on Breezy. VEDO also wrote on Freaky Friday and contributed to a number of hits for Usher, Ella Mai, Ari Lennox and more.
With credits under his belt like Usher & Ella Mai's "Don't Waste My Time", Chris Brown's "Warm Embrace" and his own double platinum single "You Got It", VEDO's contributions to the R&B Charts are undeniable. Devoted fans who have watched his career evolve from ABCâs The Voice to his viral Tiny Desk appearance with longtime mentor Usher are excited to see to him claim his space in the R&B game. And with the release of this dynamic collaboration fans are also eager now more than ever to hear to the new album.
Pre-Save âMood Swingsâ
As far as what to expect from Mood Swings, VEDO braces fans for a roller-coaster of emotions ranging from Love to Passion, to Vulnerability, Growth and more. âThis project is probably my most versatile project to dateâ. Anticipating a big year ahead VEDO claims 2023 to be a year of âMore plaques, more certifications, more Grammy nominations, and more winsâ.

The Official Soundtrack to Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody feature star-studded remixes and originals
The 35-song compilation also contains rare, reimagined versions of âDonât Cry For Meâ
Ahead of the January 8 theatrical release of TriStar Picturesâ Whitney Houston biopic, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, RCA Records and Sony Music Entertainment has dropped the official 35-song soundtrack, serving as a musical memoir of the cinematic voyage. Listen here.
âThis totally unique soundtrack album brings many of Whitneyâs classics into 2023 and beyond. Contemporary, current and often scorching, if you love Whitneyâs music, you must own this album,â says Clive Davis.
Featuring music spanning two decades of Houstonâs legendary career, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (The Movie: Whitney New, Classic and Reimagined) includes nearly two hours of remixed and original versions of Whitney Houston songs, with special guest features by BeBe Winans, Clean Bandit, Kygo, Lucky Daye, SG Lewis, Samaria, Jax Jones, Leikeli47, P2J, Oxlade, Pheelz, and more.
âWe are thrilled to be releasing the amazing 35-song soundtrack to the Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody film with RCA Records,â says Pat Houston, President of The Estate of Whitney E. Houston. âWe think the fans will be excited to hear some incredible music they know and love, as well as some new never-before-released tracks, including âFar Enoughâ and the incredible âDon't Cry For Me,â which ends the film.â
Just recently, RCA announced the original soundtrack would include three rare versions of âDonât Cry For Meâ â a never-before-released a cappella, a full-length film version by Rodney âDarkchildâ Jerkins, and a reimagined recording by record producer Sam Feldt. Houstonâs iconic performance of the song was made famous after a striking rendition at the 1994 Aids Project Los Angeles (APLA) benefit concert â a moment that would stun the audience and go down in history as one of the most memorable performances of Whitney Houstonâs illustrious career.
âI am extremely honored and proud to have been asked to reimagine a track made by all-time legend Whitney Houston,â says Sam Feldt. âBeing a key part of this unique movieâs soundtrack by turning this classic into a 2023 ready dance-pop banger is an absolute pleasure, and I canât wait for the fans to hear it.â
"Iâm beyond excited for the fans and the next generation of fans to experience the greatness of Whitney and what her voice meant and still means to all of us,â says Rodney Jerkins.
One of the most iconic and influential singers in music history, Houston sold over 200 million albums throughout her legendary career, to become one of the best-selling artists of the 20th century. Her self-titled debut album, Whitney Houston was one of the most acclaimed albums in modern recording history, spending 14 weeks at #1 on Billboard Top 200 and selling more than twenty-five million copies worldwide. The streak continued when Houston became the first female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 with her sophomore album, Whitney.
Together, the two albums spurred seven #1 singles with a catalog of hits that include, âSaving All My Love for You,â âHow Will I Know,â âGreatest Love of All,â âI Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),â âDidnât We Almost Have It All,â âSo Emotional,â and âWhere Do Broken Hearts Go.â A run that would lead Houston to become the only Black artist to earn three RIAA Diamond-certified albums.

SIGALA X MNEK âRADIOâ
SIGALAâS SECOND ALBUM âEVERY CLOUDâ RELEASED MARCH 3RD, 2023.
PRE-ORDER âEVERY CLOUDâ HERE
8 UK Top 10 Singles
7 global Platinum Singles
9 global Gold Singles
7 Million UK sales
22 Million worldwide sales
4 Billion streams
Over 1 Billion video views
[January 6th, 2023 London, UK] British artist, producer and DJ Sigala kicks off 2023 in style by teaming up with powerhouse MNEK on collaborative single âRadioâ, released globally via Ministry of Sound.
After eight UK Top 10 singles, a BRIT Nomination for Best Single for Lullaby, seven global Platinum singles, nine global Gold singles, seven million UK sales, 22 million worldwide sales, 4 billion audio streams and over one billion video views, Sigala is readying for the release of his second full-length album, âEvery Cloudâ.
âRadioâ serves as the latest taster of the record and was co-created and sung by, one of Sigalaâs all-time heroes.
âMNEK, what a legend!â he beams. âI've followed his career since day one, when I was at uni. He's somebody that I've always dreamed of working with.â
And in the writing, he didnât disappoint, even for a man well-used to using the studio as a creative playground.
âI spent about two hours making a beat, getting some nice chords, whilst he was just chilling. And then he was like, 'OK, just play it through.' He's on his phone, typing down lyrics, then he jumps on the microphone. And literally 20 minutes later, he had written pretty much the whole song â and the vocal is the one that he sang in two takes!â Sigala marvels. âJust incredible. I was honestly blown away. It was like being in the presence of true genius.â
There is, accordingly, a freshness to the French disco feel of the track. âThat's something that I really wanted to keep true to; not overproduce it. It's such a simple production, but it's unique as well, with that offbeat bass going all the way through. It throws back to early 2000s and late 90s stuff, and even disco.â
Culturally, MNEK is considered a musical icon amongst the LGBTQIA+ community and has previously performed at New York World Pride 2019, UK Black Pride and featured on RuPaulâs Drag Race UK as both a coach and guest judge. After setting up a writing camp dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA+ singer/songwriters in 2019, MNEK has continued efforts to strive for more inclusivity within the industry as a contributor to the Guardian UK diversity panel and hosting his own YouTube panel âMNEKs Inter-Sectionâ in conversation with 5 Black Queer artists/content creators.
He has clocked up an astonishing thirteen years in the music business. With over 4 BILLION streams on MNEK written, featured and produced tracks, he has grown to become a true powerhouse within the British pop world. He has worked alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, collaborating with the likes of Zara Larsson, Stormzy, Years & Years and Craig David. Heâs written with international stars such as BeyoncĂŠ, Dua Lipa, Christina Aguilera, BTS, Mabel, Madonna, Kelly Rowland and Selena Gomez. His back catalogue includes a number of worldwide hits including âReady For Your Loveâ, âNever Forget Youâ, and âBlinded By Your Graceâ. His hit with Joel Corry, âHead & Heartâ, became a global success, topping the charts in several countries and taking the reign as the longest standing UK #1 single in 2020. 2022 saw his continued success both on and off stage with âWhere Did You Go?â, his collaboration with Jax Jones, going platinum and spending an incredible 32 weeks on the charts, plus the launch of Island UK & Republic USâs hotly tipped female R&B trio FLO, and their debut EP âThe Leadâ, which he executively produced.
On âRadioâ MNEK adds âBruce & I wrote this song a few years ago. It was such a fun and easy session and itâs really cool how he evolved the song into the record youâre hearing today!â
âEvery Cloudâ is the album Sigala has been working on from pretty much the minute he finished making his first, September 2018âs blockbuster âBrighter Daysâ. The impressive debut album featured a stellar line-up of collaborators that included Kylie Minogue, Paloma Faith, French Montana, Ella Eyre, Becky Hill + more!
Sigala has had another incredible year, playing to fans across the globe and consistently releasing smash singles from the forthcoming collection. âEvery Cloudâ will also include âLasting Loverâ, with James Arthur, âMelodyâ, âStay The Nightâ ft. Talia Mar, âRely On Meâ and the David Guetta and Sam Ryder collaboration âLiving Without Youâ. Collectively these releases have amassed a staggering half a billion streams and counting.
Available on various formats that include, digital release, vinyl, CD and cassette, âEvery Cloudâ is set to include another mammoth line-up of guest artists, which are soon to be revealed.
As well as new music. Sigala also announced a UK headline tour which kicks off in Dublin on March 5th. The announcement of the album and tour continues on from a busy 2022, which saw his triumphant return to the live scene and play to thousands of fans across his sold-out North American tour. This year is set to be another standout for Sigala, who is looking forward to reengaging with his fans and bringing the Sigala experience to more live electrifying shows.

Ace Banzuelo, of Mercury, Sof Abrogar, and Alex Bruce come together to reinterpret The Eraserheadsâ timeless classics
More Sony Music Philippines artists join the Eheadsnostalgia party with their fresh take on âAng Huling El Bimboâ and âSuperproxyâ
Following the positive reviews that SB19 and NOBITA earned for their unique spin on The Eraserheadsâ beloved classics, more OPM acts have come together to pay tribute to the countryâs biggest and most influential band of all time.
Multi-hyphenate pop soloist Ace Banzuelo reinterprets âAng Huling El Bimboâ with intimate, soul-crushing details. Transforming the epic anthem into a spacey jam, the young hitmaker peels back the layers of the original with his brooding, bedroom-pop styling. He imprints his own identity to the material, while valuing the lyrical profundity and awe-inspiring bigness of the original.
As Banzuelo puts it, âIt's great that I'm allowed to give it the sound and approach that I want. A lot of the original was kept, but a lot was taken away. This project became meaningful to me throughout the process because I was producing it as if I had written the song."
Alt-rock newcomers of Mercury and Any Nameâs Okay vocalist Sof Abrogar join young hip-hop virtuoso Alex Bruce in reinterpreting âSuperproxy,â a cross-genre smash originally performed by The Eraserheads and legendary rap icon Francis M. The newly formed ensemble breathed new life into the timeless tune with a more jagged sonic direction that sounds both retro and futuristic at the same time.
âIt was honestly an honor for us to be able to cover an Eheads song and be able to incorporate our own flavor into it,â says of Mercury in a collective statement. âI think we pretty much did our own thing, but left the structures and melody of the song. It was a pretty tricky song to work on given the genre, but weâre pretty happy with how it came out nonetheless.â
Alex Bruce was grateful to be part of this project, and considers the song one of her go-to jams. âThis song is a masterpiece. Itâs iconic. I wanted to add a little spice, a little flavor, and a bit of contemporary oomph to it. Our reworked version is a fusion of old school and new school.â
Growing up in a big family with a collective love and fascination for â80s and â90s Pinoy rock, Any Nameâs Okay lead vocalist Sof was initially intimidated by the project, but took the challenge to heart in hopes of fulfilling her childhood dream. âBesides what I mentioned earlier about my family, I take particular inspiration from The Eraserheadsâ lyricism in Tagalog or Filipino. Even in my own music career with ANO, I try to use Filipino in our songs as much as I can, and I really think the Eraserheads use the language in all its richness and strength. I also love how they are unapologetic in writing about our culture, whether thatâs as shallow as UP life or as large as national politics. The band inspires me to really root my own music in my own experiences and in empathy for othersâ.
Apart from the revamped tracks by some of todayâs biggest hitmakers, five of The Eraserheadsâ legendary albums were re-released in full 360-degree spatial sound to give listeners a new immersive music experience. These influential records include Ultraelectromagneticpop!, The 25th Anniversary Remastered Edition, Circus (25th Anniversary Remastered), Cutterpillow, Fruitcake, and Sticker Happy.
Ace Banzueloâs âAng Huling El Bimboâ and of Mercury x Sof Abrogar x Alex Bruceâs âSuperproxyâ are out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

SB19 and NOBITA put their own spin on The Eraserheadsâ iconic anthems
To celebrate The Eraserheadsâ reunion concert last night, Sony Music Philippines artists released their revamped versions of âChristmas Partyâ and âMagasinâ
To commemorate the success of The Eraserheadsâ reunion concert last night, top OPM acts such as SB19and NOBITA have put their own unique spin on the supergroupâs beloved classics.
Released today under Sony Music Entertainment, the revamped versions honor the timeless appeal of Eheadsâmusic, while giving it a more contemporary flavor that resonates with the streaming audience.
P-Pop Kings SB19 captures the spirit of the holidays with their own take on âChristmas Party,â a song off The Eraserheadsâ fourth studio album, Fruitcake. Turning the original into a festive banger, the five-member boyband incorporates elements of dance-pop, R&B/hip-hop, and modern funk into the mix while carrying with them the vibe and energy of the trackâs nostalgic past.
âThe Eraserheads are one of the most influential bands of our time,â says SB19 in a statement. âWe retained everything thatâs great about the song, but made sure to add our own creative direction in terms of overall sound. Thereâs a balance of artistic liberty and compromise in the way we approach the material, and weâre definitely happy with how it turned out.â
Stell of SB19 adds, âwe feel honored that we were chosen to recreate the song. Our tour schedule was really tight, but gladly we were still able to push through with it before leaving LA. Recording in a different country also feels surreal, we didnât expect weâd reach this far.â
The eclectic rendition of âChristmas Party,â is produced by August Rigo, the hitmaker behind some of BTSâ biggest global smashes (âOnâ and âBlack Swanâ).
NOBITA, whose single âIkaw Langâ is the most streamed song of 2022 according to Spotify Wrapped, expressed enthusiasm and gratitude when they found out that theyâre part of the music project that pays tribute to the generation-defining catalog of The Eraserheads. "We grew up listening to and playing Eheads songs," the alt-rock group says in a statement. âNOBITA heavily draws inspiration from their music, especially their brand of songwriting. Their work has shaped us into where we are now, and weâre forever grateful to their enormous contribution to OPM artists, young and old.â
For their part, NOBITA adds a little jazz-pop treatment to âMagasinâ without completely losing the songâs upbeat and heavily melodic arrangement. Slightly slowing it down with stripped-down finesse, the chart-topping five-piece act puts sunshine back in âhugotâ with endearingly surprising twist.
Apart from the revamped tracks by some of todayâs biggest hitmakers, five of The Eraserheadsâ legendary albums were re-released in full 360-degree spatial sound to give listeners a new immersive music experience. These influential records include Ultraelectromagneticpop!: The 25th Anniversary Remastered Edition, Circus (25th Anniversary Remastered), Cutterpillow, Fruitcake, and Sticker Happy.

Sony Music Entertainment Philippines gives back this holiday season to Charity Rise Against Hunger with âSeason of Givingâ Campaign
Funding will support the collection and distribution of donated food items and relief packs to communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic
Filipino songstress Hazel Faith also put on an intimate performance for beneficiaries
Sony Music Entertainment Philippines and singer-songwriter Hazel Faith have partnered with charity, Rise Against Hunger, to support vulnerable communities locally impacted by food insecurity, whose situations have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This comes as part of Sony Music Groupâs global âSeason of Givingâ campaign, where the company and its artists are giving back to every local community in which Sony Music Group (SMG) operates. Across the world, SMG is supporting global organizations dedicated to providing aid for those facing food insecurity, homelessness and refugee support, as well as music industry relief and educational programs for communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This also follows the support provided through Sony Music Groupâs Global Social Justice Fund, to move the needle in broadening opportunities for underserved communities worldwide. In October, the company partnered with SPARK! Philippines to champion young womenâs rights through music and film.
Beginning in the month of November, the Season of Giving program saw SMG committing sizeable amounts in each territory where the Company conducts business: Africa, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Canada, Continental Europe, Latin America, United Kingdom, and the United States.
Since its beginnings in 2014, Rise Against Hunger Philippines has packaged over 543 million meals for vulnerable individuals across 78 countries, including over 7 million meals for people in the Philippines. With the funding from Sony Music Group, the organization will be able to reach 1.5 million people in communities most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, through the distribution of donated food items and relief packs to hungry households.
Jose Mariano Fleras, Executive Director, Rise Against Hunger Philippines, said, âCOVID-19 has only worsened the hunger situation in the Philippines by costing people their livelihoods and making it more difficult for resources to reach those who really need them. We have unfortunately seen an additional four million households in the Philippines impacted because of the pandemic.â
âThrough this partnership with Sony Music Group, we are in a stronger position to provide aid to vulnerable communities and double down on our outreach operations to address food and nutrition insecurity nationwide.â
As part of efforts to reach these communities, singer-songwriter Hazel Faith also partnered with the organization through a day of volunteering and performances for its beneficiaries. Hazel Faith is part of Sony Music Philippinesâ Christian label WATERWALK RECORDS, which brings fresh Christian music infused with pop influences from faith-based artists to the new, streaming generation.
Hazel Faith said, âFood insecurity continues to plague many across the Philippines, and it is inspiring to see what organizations like Rise Against Hunger are doing to alleviate this problem. I'm grateful for the opportunity to perform for the beneficiaries of the program today, and proud to be part of a label that continues to give back to those in need this holiday season.â
In speaking of the seasonal initiative, Towalame Austin, Executive Vice President, Philanthropy and Social Impact, Sony Music Group, said, âGlobally, SMG is committed to supporting local communities throughout the year. For the holiday season, we wanted to bring extra support and relief aid to those in need and dedicate our efforts to more than three million people worldwide. Weâre grateful to our artists and international partner organizations who work on-the-ground to provide direct assistance to their neighbors.â
In addition to Hazel Faith, notable artists and songwriters who volunteered with partner organizations in their communities during a series of in-person events include India Shawn (Epic Records), Tyler Shaw (SME Canada), NOBITA (SME Philippines), Kobie Dee (SMP Australia), Tom Wilson (SMP Canada).
This campaign represents the Companyâs ongoing philanthropic commitment to forge partnerships and support communities that need it most, inside and outside the music industry. For âSeason of Givingâ, every global organization selected to receive funding was determined by a group of global stakeholders including our internal task forces, legal and public policy teams.
