CHART-TOPPING INTERNATIONAL ICONS JASON DERULO AND MICHAEL BUBLÉ

LISTEN TO NU KING HERE
Chart-topping sensation Jason Derulo officially kicks off a new era with Nu King. The 27-song project is available to stream now via Atlantic Records HERE. As his boldest body of work yet, he collates a handful of fan favorites such as “Acapulco,” “Slow Low,” “Swalla,” “Lifestyle” [feat. Adam Levine], “Love Not War” [feat. Nuka], and more alongside various newly recorded anthems. The project received a special gold plaque upon release from Atlantic Records.
Indicative of his expansive vision, Jason has written and co-directed a 20-minute short film entitled A Dance With Shadows, set to roll out this month. The film will consist of visuals for “Spicy Margarita,” “U + I,” “Mad Love” [feat. YoungBoy Never Broke Again], and “Favorite Song.” Akin to a dark Marvel film steeped in its own otherworldly gangster lore, the action-packed visual moves at the speed of the music highlighted by moments of intrigue, betrayal, seduction, romance, and nonstop twists and turns.
“Nu King is the culmination of my career so far. It’s been nine years since my last full-length, and a lot has happened. I never stopped making music though. A lot of those songs didn’t have a proper home, so I made a place for them. The newer songs are just a piece of my life at the moment. Combining everything, the entire album has a cinematic feel. For the title, King is my son’s name. You can go further, and this is a crowning moment I’m really proud of. 2023 was a preparation year; 2024 is a year of celebrating all of the hard work I’ve put in and what I’ve built.” – Jason Derulo
Derulo is set to embark on the “Nu King World Tour,” beginning on February 22, with dates in Portugal, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, and Spain slated through June 2024.

Bublé’s version of “Sway” has amassed more than 415 million global streams to date. Watch the duo’s electrifying performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! HERE.
Last year saw a non-stop series of releases from the industrious superstar including his acclaimed collaboration with fellow multi-platinum global superstar, GRAMMY® Award-winner Meghan Trainor, “Hands On Me (Feat. Meghan Trainor),” available HERE. The track – which was teased across social media by both artists, and showcased by Derulo with a spectacular live performance on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, streaming HERE – was met by critical applause from the likes of American Songwriter, which raved, “Derulo has made a career of consistently switching up his sonic direction. Both artists seem in their element on this nostalgic song.” The fun video also featured superstar socialite + business woman, Paris Hilton, and paid homage to and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the hit reality show, The Simple Life, which Hilton co-starred alongside her best friend Nicole Richie. Watch the video HERE.
The ever-active Derulo is following his recently-wrapped first season as judge on The Voice Australia by co-starring alongside Alexandra Shipp (Barbie, X-Men: Apocalypse) in Underwater, a neo-noir romantic thriller presented by Interval Presents, Warner Music Group’s in-house podcast network. A rollercoaster love story told in the form of a narrative album, the series features brand new, original music from Derulo woven into the story and score, creating an innovative and immersive listening experience and making for a groundbreaking event at the cutting edge of audio entertainment. Underwater premiered October 31 on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays HERE. The podcast topped the Apple Podcast charts at #1.
