Hear Charli XCX jump on the remix for Tommy Genesis’ ‘100 Bad’
Tommy Genesis has teamed up with Charli XCX for a new edit of ‘100 Bad’.
Lifted as the lead single from Genesis’ highly anticipated debut album (due out later this year), the track follows on from Tommy’s self-directed video for the song, which has quickly garnered huge plays across the board.
Of the collaboration, Genesis says: “Charli is an amazing artist, she just gushes talent. After we made “Bricks” [for Assassination Nation], I sent her “100 Bad” because the song needed a new powerful force, and she absolutely killed it. I can’t wait for you guys to hear it! She really did her thing.”

Gladys Knight announces 2019 UK tour
Gladys Knight has announced a run of summer 2019 UK shows, with many signs pointing that she could indeed be Glastonbury’s fixture for next year’s ‘legends slot’.
Set to kick off her UK tour in Manchester on 22nd June, the soul empress will then travel across the country, concluding on 1st July at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall. She will also play two shows at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall on 26/27th June. Tickets go onsale next Thursday, 13th September.
Earlier this summer, Glastonbury curator Emily Eavis teased the booked act for the coveted Sunday afternoon tea-time slot is “a female. She is not British”. Speculation so far have spanned the likes of Diana Ross, Cher and Kylie Minogue – Knight would be a new entrant into the rumour-mill. With a scheduled gap on Friday 28th June, there’s also additional likelihood that the former frontwoman of The Pips could be heading to Worthy Farm either way.

Listen to MNEK’s long-awaited debut album, ‘Language’
Having become the go-to for big pop productions over the past few years (from Little Mix to Stormzy, Zara Larsson… even Beyonce), today finally marks the moment that MNEK can stamp his wings firmly into the pop sphere.
Sure he’s been sporadically releasing his own music since 2012, but for the most-part, he’s been more of a ‘turn-to’ kinda guy versus one who seemed wholly vested in being an artist in his own right. That’s all changed now, with the arrival of his long-awaited debut album ‘Language’.
Previous tracks ‘Tongue‘, ‘Paradise’, and recent single ‘Correct‘ all make an appearance, however the more-interesting of moments come later in the record, particularly on ‘Honeymood Phaze’ – a song that’ll totally appease the R&B purists.
‘Language’ seems a solid first stab from MNEK, and wholly serves as a showcase for the strength of his vocals alongside his impressive production abilities.

Hear Maverick Sabre’s new song, ‘Drifting’
It’s been a long-time-coming, but Maverick Sabre has finally shared new music.
Releasing his self-produced ‘Drifting’ earlier today, the track marks the first single from the musician’s forthcoming third album, his first full-length studio project since 2015’s ‘Innerstanding’.
On the song, the Irish-born, London-living artist said: “I wrote the song ‘Drifting’ to numerous different visuals (music videos/film) that I was inspired by at the time from Kendrick Lamar’s Kahlil Joseph Documentary through to La Haine. That’s why it has this cinematic feel within the music alone before we even created the film. I was brought up in Ireland and Irish cinema has always grabbed me, so we wanted to carry that on through this as well and make sure it was captured as beautifully as possible. The aim is to tell as many different untold Irish stories within a grander film. ‘Drifting’ is Scene One”.
