Today, Amble release their new single and title track of their forthcoming EP,  ‘The Commons’.

The five-track EP is set for release on Friday November 1st, the music will be the first release with Warner Records US.

The release of the new single and EP announcement comes as the band are on their headline, sold-out tour across the US and Canada and return to Europe at the end of October to kick start their sold-out Irish and UK leg of the tour including three sold-out Olympia Theatre shows in Dublin. Full list of dates below.

The Commons’ single was written and recorded by Oisin, Robbie and Ross after finding a letter on the table of an empty train carriage traveling from Dublin to the midlands, the song was written before the train journey was over. The song written from a place of empathy and reflection upon finding the heartbreaking letter that unveiled a mothers devastation over the loss of her young son to suicide.  ..I’ll leave a letter on a train ..No date , No name ..For a stranger to turn and read ..And for a moment, I’ll be free’

On writing this song, they say ‘The subject matter of suicide will always be a difficult topic to discuss, let alone write about – but the letter only highlighted the many friends, students and family members whose lives have been affected by suicide. The song’s title, ‘The Commons’ shows the unfortunate familiarity of the topic in question. Picturing that ‘common’ area – whether it be the green of a housing estate, a local park,or a football field where kids and teenagers meet to play. ‘The Commons’ was not written to try and shed light on any solution or agenda, rather it is the expression of a feeling at a given time. The song, the letter and the topic itself are undeniably sad, but the ultimate feeling leaving that train carriage was of hope and the instrumental at the end of ‘The Commons’ is the musical expression of that hope’

‘The Commons’ EP is out on Friday November 1st, it includes the title track and previously releases single ‘Little White Chapel’

ELLA HENDERSON RELEASES FIRST SOLO SINGLE IN TWO YEARS ‘FILTHY RICH’

Following a landmark year in which she celebrated her tenth Top 10 single (‘Alibi’), earnt her third BRIT Award nomination (‘Song of the Year’), was awarded for garnering over a billion streams and performed at Capital’s Summertime Ball alongside the likes of RAYE and Sabrina Carpenter, Ella Henderson is back with ‘Filthy Rich’, a foot-stomping, hand-clapping, feel-good anthem inspired by the people that matter to her the most – family and friends.

Listen here: https://wmi.lnk.to/FilthyRich

Arriving as the first solo single since the release of her Gold-certified second album ‘Everything I Didn’t Say’ (2022), Ella shares: “Writing ‘Filthy Rich’ brought me right back to my roots. It’s a constant reminder of the fact that yes, I do what I love, but without the people I love unconditionally surrounding me, it would all be for nothing. Words can’t express how excited I am to finally be sharing this new chapter of music with the world. Ten years in and this feels like a new start.”

To create the ‘Filthy Rich’ visualiser, Ella pulled footage from her family archives and returned to her hometown of Grimsby and Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire with director Luke O’Sullivan to capture a day out with her best friend, Georgia, who’s named in the song.

BEA AND HER BUSINESS SHARES THE NEW SINGLE ‘WOW!’ – OUT NOW

BEA AND HER BUSINESS

SHARES THE NEW SINGLE ‘WOW!’

UPCOMING DEBUT EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR INCLUDES A SOLD-OUT LONDON SHOW AT LAFAYETTE

Bea and her Business is just getting started, but the 19-year-old is already making waves in the UK and beyond. After achieving over 47 million streams for her debut EP ‘Introverted Extrovert’, her next release ‘Me Against My Head’ amplified her growing profile, achieving 959k streams and 2.8 million TikTok views, growing her TikTok profile to 1.6 million. Now Bea takes the next step in her rise by sharing the new single ‘WOW!’.

‘WOW!’ reaffirms that Bea and Her Business is an artist with the ability to express a whirlwind of coming-of-age emotions within her instantly engaging pop earworms. It’s a song about the exhilaration and anticipation of suddenly being infatuated with a boy who looks “like a God in the middle of the street,” but also the confusion that comes with not knowing what to do about it – all ensuring that Bea’s self-deprecating humour will speak to anyone who has been through the same thing. The song effortlessly captures that rush of excitement as it bursts from Bea’s scene-setting verses into a joyously irresistible funk-fuelled hook.

Bea says, “I wrote this song at 17, at a time in my life where everything to do with falling in love was incredibly cringe and despicable, ha! So I basically turned the whole song into a joke to mirror the fact that I thought I was a joke of a human being for lowkey falling in love with this guy I’d been seeing for 3 days LOL! Hence the ‘I’m a wetwipe’ line. He dumped me soon after but at least I got the song!

This song is definitely for the people who think they’re super badass and cold-hearted but deep down they’re absolute suckers for a bit of romance.”

Bea wrote ‘WOW!’ with Hiten & Bhav and was completed with producer Stuart Price.

Bea’s songs connect with fans so naturally as her conversational stories reflect the experiences that so many of them are going through. They can be light, witty, and playful: see how ‘All The Boys’ finds both the humour and sadness in realising that all the effort you’ve made to attract a love interest has been in vain. Yet she is just as articulate in exploring weightier issues, such as the struggles with body confidence and social vulnerabilities that she shares in ‘Me Against My Head’. Collectively, her growing catalogue positions her as this generation’s answer to Lily Allen, but with a contemporary touch that will also speak to fans of Olivia Rodrigo and Lana Del Rey.

Also influenced by poetry, especially Kate Bingham and Leonard Cohen, Bea has been writing songs since childhood while her first following was established after sharing her takes on some of her favourite songs via social media. Her debut single ‘Born To Be Alive’ made a huge impact, as it exceeded 25 million streams, landed her first Radio 1 airplay, and even raced up the Nordic charts, while the subsequent ‘Introverted Extrovert’ EP cemented her reputation as an artist to watch. ‘Me Against My Head’ continued that momentum, her relatable humour and warmth at socials helping to contribute to 10,000 pre-saves for the track.

Yet while her growing online following is undeniable, she is quickly establishing an IRL fanbase too. Her first public performance came in front of a huge festival audience in Oslo, while back home in London she sold-out her first full headline show at Omeara. She then confirmed details of her first full European headline tour, and strong demand for tickets resulted in her London and Cologne dates selling out weeks in advance. Limited tickets for the rest of the tour, scheduled below, are available HERE.
