JESSE MCCARTNEYUNVEILS IRRESISTIBLE NEW SINGLE "FAUX FUR" AND TEASES FORTHCOMING EP 'ALL’S WELL'
January 24, 2024 – No stranger to the world of pop, Jesse McCartney, the multi-talented singer-songwriter musician, who first came onto the scene as a teen heartthrob later becoming celebrated for his chart-topping hits and memorable roles on screen, unveils a seductive new single, "Faux Fur". The track effortlessly captures retro R&B groove and funk, layered with his soulful vocals. Listen here: https://jesse-mccartney.ffm.to/fauxfur
The forthcoming EP 'All’s Well' scheduled for release on 5th April, provides a sneak peek into its new identity through the lead single "Faux Fur", one of two tracks co-produced by Andrew Dixon, skillfully capturing the evolved sound of the catalogue. Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic sounds of R&B, McCartney sings "Some things can’t buy, Your heart your time, Your hand in mine", over the echoey whistles, choppy acoustic strums, deliciously wah’ed guitar, and luscious bass.
"Recording this song was probably the most inspiring and exciting session I've ever done because we recorded with a live band. It doesn't sound so revolutionary until you realize that this almost never happens anymore. We used a legendary studio in Los Angeles (Village Studios), and the musicians were top-notch superstars of the studio musician world, including Victor Andrizzo on Drums and Sean Hurley on Bass, who has played on dozens of top hit songs! A peak experience for me!" he said.
McCartney found a muse for his EP in an old Hall and Oates LP he acquired last year. The vinyl became a constant presence on his turntable, with its timeless appeal of classics that inspire and uplift. These aspects set off a chain of events that gave birth to his upcoming musical pieces.
Fans can anticipate the EP to include songs that range from super sexy and cheeky to romantic, and even a dive into navigating out of a dark mental and emotional state.
With over 2.4 Billion streams globally and almost 800 Million views on YouTube, Jesse McCartney is set to wow fans old and new with his upcoming record. Throughout his career, McCartney has built a strong fan base in Asia. His Top 10 Streaming Markets worldwide now include #2 Philippines 🇵🇭, #6 Indonesia 🇮🇩, #9 Malaysia 🇲🇾, and #11 Singapore 🇸🇬.

Singer-songwriter and producer Dhruv releases new single “Tragedy”
The catchy bop serves as the lead single off his debut album, out next
January 19th, 2024, New York, NY – Today, singer-songwriter and producer Dhruv releases “Tragedy,” the lead single from his debut album expected later this year. Co-written by Dhruv and produced by JT Daly, the piano-led track chronicles the somber feeling of being on the losing end of a breakup after a failed attempt of reconciling with an ex. Listen to the single here.
“Writing ‘Tragedy’ was the first time I made something that I feel has my stamp on it,” Dhruv says. “It was the first song we finished for my album, and it became a natural entry point into the world of my upcoming record. ‘Tragedy’ feels like it could be a blueprint for things that I'm going to make in the future. If you read the lyrics, it could seem like a drag. But we spent a lot of time trying to make a song that feels more like a wink, more ironic than depressing or sad. I'm really proud of how I was able to turn an experience that was flat-out miserable into something that's kind of funny.”
Conceptualized by Dhruv and filmed throughout London, the “Tragedy” music video plays on the track's themes of misery, whilst finding the humor in the situation. In the video, directed by AboveGround, Dhruv acts out his own version of a tragedy, as he searches for answers, but instead finds bad luck at every turn.
Hailed by NME as an artist creating “vital, anthemic” pop, Dhruv's introspective songwriting and artistic vision led him to sign to Little Worry/RCA Records. The hit single “double take” from his debut EP has accumulated over half a billion streams on Spotify, with the rest of his catalog having achieved over a billion streams in total and averaging 7 million new streams weekly. After earning supporting tour slots with artists like Joji, Dhruv went on to sell out his 2022 US & UK tour dates, and in 2023, he played shows across Asia.
Dhruv’s “Tragedy” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

AKINI JINGRELEASES NEW ALBUM‘VILLAIN’
VIA 88RISING
SHARES VIDEO FOR ‘CALL ME SHADOW’
NEW FOCUS TRACK ‘VILLAIN’ FT. TEEZANDOS

…
Last Friday 12th January - multidimensional creator and performing artist Akini Jing releases her highly anticipated album ‘VILLAIN’, out now via 88rising. The release is accompanied by both the official video to lead single ‘Call Me Shadow’ and the new focus track ‘VILLAIN’ which features rising UK drill artist TeeZandos.
Akini Jing continues her ‘Eastern Cyber’ series and unprecedented musical expression of the Chinese martial arts genre of Wuxia on new album ‘VILLAIN’. The stunning 9-track album features the already released electronic infused ‘Call Me Shadow’ and kung-fu textured ‘Black Widow’, in addition to seven new tracks including the heartfelt ballad ‘Hurt You Again’ and fiery new focus track ‘VILLAIN’, which features a hard-hitting and sharp tongued verse from rising UK drill artist TeeZandos.
Showcasing her unique ability to effortlessly blend genres together, VILLAIN sees Jing combine impactful techno, whimsical IDM, and beautiful Chinese-influenced orchestral sections to create vivid musical landscapes that express the album’s story. In the fictional realm and across all visuals, we see Akini introduce three martial arts characters - Black Widow, Shadow, and Jade; who each reflect the noble pursuits constrained by mundane life, mirroring our own reality.
The accompanying video for ‘Call Me Shadow’ follows ‘Black Widow’ and continues the cinematic short story created by Akini Jing. Directed by Joseph Le (Afro Samurai Champlooand Mulan: An East Side Story) and inspired by the alluring world of Wuxia, the official visual sees ‘Shadow’, a trained assassin uphold the honour of the 'The Nine Sun Sect’ as she aims to take down the wicked matriarch ‘Black Widow’. Incorporating signature martial arts sequences by stunt coordinator Andy Cheng (Shang-Chi, and Rush Hour), the video features intricate weapon combat, providing a further glimpse into the world of Wuxia.

Speaking about her new album VILLAIN, Akini Jing said: “‘all the songs on my VILLAIN album are heavily inspired by the Chinese genre of Wuxia. The aesthetic influence is obvious, but what really drew me to Wuxia is the nature of the characters - they are people who are devoted to, and live by, very high ideals. But at the same time, they are constantly limited by their own humanness. For one reason or another, both heroes and villains find themselves falling short or getting distracted from their goals. Aren't we the same? Our spirit may be high but our lives can be low. This is the essence of ‘jianghu’, which is a Chinese word that describes people on the fringe of society, who live by their own code.
I was fascinated by this tension between ideals and reality, and wanted to find a way to express this centuries-old genre in a new way. The result is an interesting combination of traditional Chinese instruments with electronic sub genres such as techno, two-step and deconstructed club, which I think represents the Chinese underground scene as it is today.”

Then, in 2019 she introduced her new alias, “Akini Jing”, a cyborg identity that fuses technology with Chinese ancestry. Notably, Akini Jing’s work is highly influenced by the cinematic world of martial art films, known as Wuxia.
Stay tuned as over the coming months Akini Jing will share more music and visuals from this new project.

SB19’s PABLO opens 2024 with genre-blurring single “DETERMINADO”
Blending hip-hop with rock music influences, the prolific songwriter/producer teams up with his brother Josue on this astounding new jam
SB19’s PABLO is back with another bop!
The Filipino singer-songwriter/producer blurs the line between hip-hop and rock on the new single “DETERMINADO,” his first offering this year under Sony Music Entertainment.
Produced by his brother Josue, the genre-averse track pushes experimentation as far as it can go while retaining the La Luna act’s distinct qualities as an artist who is comfortable in his own identity and sonic direction.
Speaking highly of his favorite collaborator, PABLO praised Josue for infusing game-changing ideas during the incubation period of the track and allowing him to shine with a solid production style that doesn’t necessarily have to confine to trends.
“We're a team, we always work hand in hand, always learning from each other, and drawing inspiration back and forth,” said the multi-talented soloist. “We grew up in the same environment so we just vibe and connect easily.”
Integrating dense instrumentation with gloomy synths and booming, confrontational beats, “DETERMINADO” not only impresses listeners with its scale and ambition but also reveals a different side of the SB19 vocalist and main rapper: someone who finds moments of vulnerability and strength in the face of chaos. In the words of PABLO himself, “It’s a realization when we find the courage to actually do what we want, and what kind of artist we aspire to be. We are confronting our fears and roadblocks, but still moving forward.”
Determined to jumpstart a new phase in his career, PABLO is more confident in his undertaking as a musician, going to a sonic space that remains untouched even by his contemporaries and peers.
He adds, “Our music is not just the output; it’s a collective of all the micro-things that happen behind the scenes and all throughout the process. We are more assertive now.Also, this song marks a departure from our previous releases; it's a blend of hip-hop and rock genres.”
Aside from “DETERMINADO,” PABLO is also gearing up for a more exciting 2024. He’s looking into dropping more solo releases apart from his work with SB19, and possibly a debut album to be released soon.
As the prolific artist puts it, “Again, going back to the song title, we are indeed on this journey. I have so many things planned to do in 2024, and definitely one of those is to release my own album.”
PABLO’s “DETERMINADO” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
