“one of the most high-profile soundtracks of 2025” – BILLBOARD

“In F1’s soundtrack, Atlantic Records promises a high-rpm joyride for the ages, and they have yet to build a car that can get us to premiere day fast enough” – ROLLING STONE

After last week’s exhilarating launch of F1® THE ALBUM, complete with an epic artist lineup reveal, electrifying first single, and immersive activation in Miami, Atlantic Records has released the latest track from the supercharged and star-studded musical companion to Apple Original Films’ high-octane, action-packed film F1® THE MOVIE, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick). The soundtrack continues to build with the captivating new single “Messy” from global pop icon ROSÉ. Produced by Lostboy & Burns, the song arrives alongside an official music video starring ROSÉ and featuring F1® THE MOVIE stars Brad Pitt and Kerry Condon in exclusive and never-before-seen footage from the film. Watch the video for “Messy,” for which the shoot shut down the world famous Las Vegas Strip, now HERE. F1® THE ALBUM is now available for pre-order HERE and arrives in stores and at all online retailers on Friday, June 27th in conjunction with the theatrical release of the feature film, distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

ROSÉ was among the soundtrack stars who attended last weekend’s immersive F1® THE ALBUM activation at the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2025. Held within a private VIP Paddock just a few feet away from the official FORMULA 1 team garages, the F1® THE ALBUM experience brought the film’s fictional racing team, APXGP, to life with a recreation of their actual garage from the movie. Pass holders enjoyed interactive games, racing simulators, movie memorabilia and an official album preview, with visits from film and soundtrack talent including Kerry Condon, Jerry Bruckheimer, Tiësto, Dom Dolla, Don Toliver, Sexyy Red, Roddy Ricch, Myke Towers, and Burna Boy. To further celebrate the official F1® THE ALBUM announcement, the FORMULA 1 drivers’ names on their garages were replaced with those of the artists featured on the soundtrack. The unprecedented soundtrack launch also saw GRAMMY® Award-winning international icon Tiësto making FORMULA 1 history when he became the first artist ever to deliver headline performances from the bridge over the grid moments before the formation lap and from the podium after the race, capping off a truly memorable and momentous Grand Prix weekend.

“Messy” was preceded by the soundtrack’s revved-up first single “Lose My Mind” from multiplatinum Houston rapper, singer-songwriter, and Cactus Jack recording artist Don Toliver featuring GRAMMY® Award-winning, multiplatinum star Doja Cat. Produced by Ryan Tedder, the hypnotic track – which samples the “F1 Movie Theme” by the Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer – arrived alongside an equally electrifying official music video already boasting over 3.5M views – watch HERE. Upon release, the track was immediately met with widespread acclaim with ROLLING STONE proclaiming, “With this new Don Toliver–Doja Cat joint, F1 might be gearing up for what might be the film soundtrack of the year,” and BILLBOARD describing it as a “shimmering, synth-drenched club track that showcases Don Toliver’s silky melodic streak and Doja Cat’s chest-thumping rhyming.”

From the label that brought you the award-winning, blockbuster soundtracks Barbie The Album, Twisters: The Album, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad and more, F1® THE ALBUM will feature massive new tracks from an unprecedented lineup of superstar artists, including Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, RAYE, Burna Boy, Roddy Rich, Dom Dolla, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, Peggy Gou and more. See below for full tracklisting.

F1® THE ALBUM was produced and overseen by multi-GRAMMY® Award Winner, 7x GRAMMY®  Award-nominee, and Atlantic Records West Coast President, Kevin Weaver (Soundtrack Album Producer of Barbie The Album, Twisters: The Album, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad, Daisy Jones & The Six, Birds Of Prey) along with Atlantic Records’ EVP and Co-Head of Pop/Rock A&R, Brandon Davis and Atlantic Records’ SVP A&R/Marketing, Joseph Khoury.

ED SHEERAN RELEASES HEARTFELT MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “OLD PHONE”

Gingerbread Man Records & Atlantic Records UK
ED SHEERAN RELEASES HEARTFELT MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “OLD PHONE”

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ALBUM PLAY ARRIVING EVERYWHERE SEPTEMBER 12 PRE-ORDER HERE
Multiple-GRAMMY winning, Diamond-certified, global superstar Ed Sheeran has unveiled the official music video for his recently released single ‘Old Phone.’ Watch HERE . ‘Old Phone’ is the second song – following lead single ‘Azizam’ – that Sheeran has shared from his forthcoming album ‘Play’, arriving everywhere via Gingerbread Man Records/Atlantic Records on September 12th and available for pre-order now. Directed by Emil Nava, the ‘Old Phone’ music video is a touching tribute to the beauty of connection and memory. In a heartfelt introduction, Ed talks about the background to the song, delving into the bittersweet memories evoked by rediscovering an old phone, unearthing text messages and photos from cherished moments with people who are no longer here.   
 
To bring the song to life, Ed conceived the idea of building the Old Phone Pub in Ipswich, Massachusetts, creating a space to connect with his fans and their stories. As Ed puts it, “ I thought I’d build a pub somewhere, and do a gig, and I put it out there to my fans, and said do you want to come to this gig, go on your old phone and find a message that means a lot to you, or a video that means a lot to you”
 
The video artfully weaves together moments of Ed reflecting on his own memories —with scenes of the Old Phone pub’s construction. Fans are introduced to the heartfelt community spirit as Ed interacts with locals, practices for the gig, and hears personal stories from attendees…from a fan’s video of her two young daughters playing, to a clip of friends enjoying the snow after a breakup, or a poignant memory of dancing with a grandmother who has since passed, each story shared by fans becomes a testament to the emotional power of memory and music. The climax of the video showcases an intimate live performance at the Old Phone Pub.    
 
Ahead of the song’s release last week, Sheeran announced the arrival of ‘Old Phone’ by launching @teddysoldphone, an Instagram account featuring never before seen photos from Ed’s actual old phone, which he stopped using in 2015, before moving solely to email. Ed has been teasing the track over the past few weeks, including an impromptu performance of the song on the Tonight Show couch while chatting with Jimmy Fallon, as part of his set at his pop up pub during Coachella, and most recently playing it as a duet with Noah Kahan at Santa’s Pub in Nashville. Ed was recently featured on the cover of this year’s TIME100 as one of the world’s most influential people.

HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED UPCOMING ALBUM LOVE IN REAL LIFE COMING SOON

 

 

4x GRAMMY® Award and Emmy Award winning, RIAA multi-platinum certified superstar Lizzo serves up a new version of her single, “Still Bad (Animal Style)”. Lizzo took to her socials to explain the re-release of her favorite demo version of “Still Bad” HERE. The new video, directed by B.K. Barone, shares a celebratory night with Lizzo in NYC post-MET Gala, wearing her Christian Siriano couture gown. The evening culminates at the legendary gay bar Pieces where she parties with the iconic Shequida Hall and the drag queens of “Drag Wars.” Watch the official music video HERE. “Still Bad (Animal Style)” will be available on all streaming platforms via Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records on May 9 at 12am ET HERE.

 

Lizzo recently took center stage for the fourth time on Saturday Night Live, performing a mashup of hits “Love In Real Life” and “Still Bad,” in addition to debuting a new unreleased song “Don’t Make Me Love You.” Furthermore, Lizzo put her acting skills to work when she was featured in two hilarious sketches titled “White Potus” and “New Parents.”

To celebrate the launch of her new music, the 3-year anniversary of her brand Yitty, and her appearance on SNL, Lizzo made a stop last week in custom Yitty at Late Night With Seth Meyers. In addition, she had an insightful conversation with author, podcaster, and life coach Jay Shetty on “On Purpose With Jay Shetty.”

Everything heralds the arrival of her fifth full-length LP and one of the most anticipated albums of 2025, Love In Real Life.

To celebrate the start of this chapter, Lizzo performed three super intimate fan shows. She graced the stage of The Wiltern in Los Angeles, Irving Plaza in New York, NY, and First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN.

In February, she ignited social media by teasing “Love In Real Life.” First up, she bid “farewell” to her Special era in a viral post, followed by the reveal of a flute-soundtracked trailer for “Love In Real Life,” generating hundreds of thousands of views and “likes.” Rolling Stone noted, “She is entering a ‘new era’ of music,” and Billboard excitedly proclaimed, “It’s about damn time for some new Lizzo music.”

Stay tuned for more music and surprises soon.

This chapter is all about love, life, and Lizzo…

Moncrieff Releases Debut Album maybe it’s fine And Shares New Track Something To You

Moncrieff Releases Debut Album maybe it’s fine And Shares New Track Something To You

Award-winning Irish singer Moncrieff releases his hotly-anticipated debut album and shares brand new song, Something To You.

Order maybe it’s fine 

Listen To maybe it’s fine

Listen To Something To You

 

9 May: Moncrieff has released his long-awaited debut album, maybe it’s fine, and shares the latest track to be taken from it, Something To You.

 

Though it might be Moncrieff’s first album, maybe it’s fine is the culmination

of a decade-long musical journey which has seen the Waterford-born singer rack up over 40 million streams and win over fans from Elton John to late producer/DJ Avicii.

Over twelve wildly divergent tracks that span gospel-powered epics (Somebody’s Baby), late-night confessionals (I Just Don’t Think I’ll Make It Over You), euphoric pop (Shangri-La), future-facing R&B (High For Free), liquid funk grooves (Hard Feelings) and more, Maybe It’s Fine finds Moncrieff surveying his own evolution as an artist and a person. From the struggling songwriter still trying to make sense of the loss of his siblings when he was a teenager to the multifaceted artist behind such hit releases as 2022’s Warm, winner of the prestigious RTÉ Choice Music Prize for Irish Song of the Year.

 

“I started this journey into music ten years ago and trying to condense it into twelve songs was difficult,” Moncrieff says of the album. “In that time, I’ve been countless different versions of myself. This album is the story of that growth. Where I’ve come from, where I am and where I’m going.”

 

The tracks Moncrieff has released from maybe it’s fine so far have given a small taste of the depth and breadth of sounds and styles on the album. Today, he also shares Something To You, yet another song that pivots into fresh territory for the singer; its bouncing acoustic shuffle and pristine new wave sparkle masking a darker emotional undertow.

 

“It’s dressed up as a bit of a party song, but underneath it’s about wanting to be used if that’s the only way you’re going to get something from someone,” says the singer. “I met this person at a house party, and it was so exciting. However, my feelings became a bit deeper and theirs were never really there. But it was such a fun thing that you don’t really care. Like, I don’t care if it’s all or nothing, I just want to be something to you… Whatever it is, I’ll take it.”

May 2, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) – Just days after kicking off the US leg of their sold-out 2025 headline tour, rising Irish folk trio Amble share new single “Treehouse Wings,” the latest off their anxiously awaited debut album, Reverie, out May 23rd via Warner Records. Listen to “Treehouse Wings” HERE and pre-order/Pre-save Reverie HERE.

“Treehouse Wings” arrives alongside the announcement of additional fall dates added to Amble’s Reverie Tour, continuing their extensive sold-out run throughout the US, Canada, Europe/UK, and Australia. Building on their impressive headline tour success,  Amble will also notably support Hozier in legendary stadiums and arenas across North America this summer, including two sold-out nights at Fenway Park this June following their US festival debut at Boston Calling. The newly announced fall headline shows go on sale today at 10am local time at www.ambleofficial.com. See upcoming North American shows below, and see a full list of dates worldwide HERE.

Beloved for their descriptive storytelling, heartfelt lyrics, and powerful live performances, Amble’s full-length debut Reverie showcases their signature sound: no-frills acoustic instrumentation, serene soundscapes, and heavenly natural harmonies. The forthcoming 14-track project – which was recorded live in various studios across Ireland and Los Angeles – features recent singles “Swan Song” and “Schoolyard Days,” fan-adored songs like “Lonely Island” and “Mary’s Pub” plus 8 new tracks.

Adding to their recent momentum, the band just unveiled a stunning performance of “Schoolyard Days” for Mahogany Sessions. This follows their captivating performance of “Swan Song” on The Late Late Show earlier this month, as well as GRAMMY.com who applauded, “the quiet power of their novelistic folk sound – minimal and meditative, yet deeply resonant.”

Amble —Robbie Cunningham (lead vocals/guitar), Ross McNerney (mandolin), and Oisin McCaffrey (guitar/vocals)— has experienced a meteoric rise since forming in late 2022. The trio’s journey from quitting their day jobs in rural Western Ireland to achieving international recognition, buoyed by over 100 million streams and 100K tickets sold worldwide, is a testament to their dedication and connection with audiences.

Stay tuned for much more from Amble in 2025.

GALWAY BAND ‘NEWDAD’ RELEASE NEW EP ‘SAFE’ OUT NOW!

NEWDAD RELEASE ‘SAFE’ EP ON MAY 2

LISTEN HERE

LIVE SHOW AT THE DOME ON MAY 14

The beauty and bite of NewDad’s debut album ‘Madra’ made the Galway band one of the biggest new hopes around. Bringing a youthful zest to storied influences such as Slowdive, The Cure and Cocteau Twins, their amalgamation of classic ‘90s aesthetics attracted a diverse and still-growing audience. Teenagers threw themselves around in the mosh pit with care-free abandon at their headline show at London’s Koko, Glastonbury, Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and even at places as far flung as Tokyo and Shanghai in front of 1600 fans.

 

And NewDad’s future is now just a step away as they release their new EP ‘Safe’. Their core shoegaze/dream-pop sound elevated with a swaggering new self-confidence, a tight, masterly control of hooks, and broader touch points such as Pavement and Sonic Youth. In short: their ethereal elements feel more alluring than ever; the visceral moments are more selective and dynamic but hit just as hard; and their songs are simply a leap in sophistication beyond ‘Madra’.

 

As summarised by Fiachra, “It just needed to be NewDad but better. Everything had to get elevated,” while guitarist Sean O’Dowd states that the songs are “Big and bold, but with a light sense and kind of airier.” Julie expands, noting a balance between finding those nuanced details that reward repeat listens while keeping their visceral raw power. “There’s so much intricacy but they’re just so much fun to play.”

‘Safe’ marks a bold step forward for the band as they move beyond their long-standing collaboration with Chris W Ryan to work with 26-year-old prodigy Sam Breathwick, aka Shrink — one of the UK’s most talked-about young producers. In the short term, Shrink is also joining the live lineup, bringing his studio magic to the stage on lead guitar and synths, as NewDad expand their ambitious sound and reach toward a growing international audience.

Following the success of Madra—an album whose songs were written over an impressive eight-year span but recorded in just a fortnight—their latest ‘Safe’ EP project showcases a much swifter process. Recorded in January at the renowned Decoy Studios, this new record captures the same intensity and focus within a similarly condensed time frame.

Its lead single, ‘Entertainer’, encapsulates their growth. Julie’s vocal glides like a conversation with an imaginary friend, while every touch – her slacker rock cadence, distorted stabs of guitars, foreboding synth flourishes and drums which flow from spacious to savage – embeds itself in your mind and refuses to let go.

“The song is about entertaining other people’s idea of who you should be,” explains Julie. “I’m only learning now that I just need to shut out the noise and do what makes me feel comfortable.”

In fact, the entire EP rotates around similar introspective conflicts: being a people pleaser but standing up for yourself; realising that success brings a fresh wave of unexpected challenges, adapting to their new lives in an often overwhelming London. But musically it shows that NewDad should have no fears as whatever they can imagine they can thrillingly bring to life.

It’s a trait present as the title track erupts into a fierce denouement. It’s there as Fiachra’s personal favourite, ‘Puzzle’, lurches into a seasick grunge waltz with lyrics inspired by Norman Mailer’s ‘The Executioner’s Song’. And it’s especially there with the affecting string arrangement on ‘Be Kind’ – something that Sean affirms that they would’ve have previously recreated using synths.

NewDad’s transition from ‘Madra’ to ‘Safe’ felt symbolically complete when they attended the Choice Music Awards after being nominated for Album of the Year.

Talking of which, album number two is firmly in development but they’re keeping their cards close to their chest regarding its finer details… for now.  “The album will be another step up,” offers Julie, “It’s a lot more unapologetic and a lot more self assured”

NEW SINGLE ‘OLD PHONE’RELEASED ON 1ST MAY 2025
LISTEN HERE
Ed Sheeran has announced that his new album ‘PLAY’ will be released on 12th September 2025. (Pre-order here).  
To mark the occasion he has released a new single ‘Old Phone’  (Listen here).

After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran is finally back and stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025.   An artist known for constantly evolving, Sheeran’s latest album, ‘PLAY’ finds him exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world’s best-loved pop artists. Inspired in part by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures—and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies—he explored this borderless musical language, giving the album its distinctive, fresh edge. On more familiar ground, Sheeran also reminds us why he remains the most influential singer-songwriter of his generation, delivering a series of stunning ballads and acoustic-driven songs. The result is a collection that plays with both the familiar and the new, creating a bold, pop-driven sound that only Ed Sheeran could deliver — a vibrant showcase of his artistry that feels both exciting and transformative, and promises to be one of the defining albums of the year.

Ed said…”Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring. I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative creative days of my life. It’s a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father. Going into this album campaign I said to myself ‘I just want everything I do to be fun and playful’ – so that’s why we are building pubs for folk jams, doing gigs on open top buses and singing in pink cowboy hats on bars. The older I get the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic. You can preorder play now, many many more playful things to come before it’s out x”

After the release of his global, hedonistic, technicolor pop hit ’Azizam’, Sheeran gets nostalgic on his brand new single ‘Old Phone’, narrating the disorienting act of reconnecting with his past. Powering up an old phone unused since 2015, he unearths messages from a lost friend, an argument with an ex, and distant family, highlighting how time and separation reshape identity. Blending nostalgic acoustic melodies with raw emotion, the song recalls Ed’s early songwriting roots while exploring growth and memory, capturing an artist that is shaped and transformed by his past   ‘Old Phone’ has been produced by Blake Slatkin & Ilya Salmanzadeh

Act II: If You’re Looking For A Reason To Key Your Ex’s Car lead single ‘That’s What You Get’ is a guitar-driven breakup anthem exploring the raw emotions of post-breakup sentiments, capturing the universal desire for a former partner to experience the consequences of their actions. Staying true to the theme, ‘Knock Knock’ delivers a fiery depiction of her ex’s ‘loser behaviour’, closing the door on the past with the unforgettable, no-nonsense line, “Knock knock, who’s there? Well, I don’t f**ing care.”

Anne-Marie shares, “The only good thing about being mugged off in relationships is being able to write songs about it. So here’s to all the things we wish we could’ve said to our ex’s that we didn’t get the chance to say.”
