Artist News Gigs & Festivals One Liners Releases
One Liners: Coldplay & BTS, Tori Amos, Limp Bizkit, more
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 30 September 2021
RELEASES
Continuing the single’s seemingly endless promo cycle, Coldplay and BTS have released the video for ‘My Universe’.
Having recently announced her sixteenth album, ‘Ocean To Ocean’, Tori Amos has now released its first single, ‘Speaking With Trees’. “We have all had moments that can knock us down”, she says. “This record sits with you where you are, especially if you are in a place of loss. I am fascinated when someone has gone through a tragedy, and how they work through their grief”.
Just like you wanted, Limp Bizkit have released their first new track since 2014, ‘Dad Vibes’. The band said last month that new songs would be arriving “one after another in rapid succession very soon”, ahead of a new album release.
Kali Uchis has teamed up with SZA for new single ‘Fue Mejor’. “This is Latin R&B, this is SZA singing in Spanish for the very first time, this is spooky season, this IS the moment”, says Uchis.
CL is back with ‘Lover Like Me’, the second single from her upcoming album ‘Alpha’. That album, by the way, is out on 22 Oct.
Sega Bodega‘s second album ‘Romeo’ is set for release on 12 Nov. So that’s good. Here’s new single ‘Angel On My Shoulder’.
Wet Leg have released their highly anticipated second single and [huge sigh of relief] it’s good. Really good. Thank the sweet Lord. I think it’s going to be OK, guys. I think it’s going to be OK. Here’s ‘Wet Dream’.
Set to release their debut album next month, La Luz have released new single ‘Oh, Blue’. They’ll also play The Scala in London on 28 Apr.
Qrion has released ’11-11′, the second single from her upcoming album ‘I Hope It Lasts Forever’.
William Doyle will release new EP ‘Alternate Lands’ on 26 Nov. Here’s new single ‘The Unanswered Why’.
Falle Nioke and Ghost Culture have released their latest track together, ‘Ayekouma’. “I wrote this song to express my feelings about destiny”, says Nioke. “That in this life not everyone is going to like you. Some will, some won’t, but we shouldn’t worry about that as we are all here to live our life. We have a destiny that no man can change. We must all follow our different paths as we all have a reason for being”. Nioke will be touring the UK in November and December.
Tusks is back with new single ‘Fall Into You’. The track, she explains, “started by being heavily influenced by the sound of an orchestra tuning up. It ended up turning it into a really raw and honest love song with the lyrics talking about going through hard patches in a relationship and being confused and pulled in different directions, but then after every hard phase that you experience, you learn more about love and how to love and your love for the other person just continuously deepens and becomes more real”.
Uokaye have released new single ‘Panda Dreams’ featuring Sei.
