London UK, 23rd June 2022 5PM BST – Global super star Rita Ora joins forces with award-winning world renowned producer and DJ NETSKY on summer anthem “Barricades” released via Helix Records.

About their “Barricades” collaboration, Netsky says; “I’ve wanted to work with Rita since I heard ‘RIP’, so it was really special to get her and Stargate together in the studio again. We wanted to make a song that really showcased the power of her voice. The song is about the battles people go through being in love. We combined the simple beauty of pop with the power of breaks/drum and bass. I want to make dance music that has honesty and emotion – I think this song is that.”

Rita Ora adds; ‘It’s been amazing to work with Netsky on ‘Barricades’. It’s an honour to get to work with such a talented producer, especially on a track like this. Collaborating on another Drum n Bass record a decade after my first no.1 ‘Hot Right Now’ with DJ Fresh, feels like coming home, and I’m beyond excited for everyone to hear it. I hope they love dancing to it as much as I do!’

Luca Vasta releases the first new song of her upcoming album and takes us with her on a journey to the beauty of Sicily.

The Italian/German Songwriter composed together with award-winning producer and songwriter Philipp Steinke (boy, Bosse, Tina Dico) an upbeat melancholy soundtrack for the beginning of the summer season.

„La Mia Storia” shines with cosmic suave and sonic adventure, telling a story about sharing the secret of an unfulfilled love. „Sei la Mia Storia, maledetta“. You’re my story, damn it!

Luca’s deep and delicate vocals take us into her internal world that we can all relate to. The song with its catchy melody and timeless Italo guitar shows us once again that Luca has created her own musical style and we can’t wait for more „Spaghetti Pop“ coming in 2022.

The video to her new single was shot in her hometown Ragusa, Sicily. It is produced and edited by herself and reveals more of her creative mind as she independently built her career without having a big label to back her.

Performed by Prinsens Musikkorps (The Prince of Denmark Air Force Band), conducted by Peter Ettrup Larsen. Audio release on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. on 6 May, 2022.

Originally to be composed by John Williams (Star Wars, etc.). When Williams had to drop out because of time constraints Frederik Magle was tasked with composing the epic soundtrack for the rollout – see video – of the new Danish F-35 fighters, the single largest investment in Denmark’s history (27 billion Kroner). Since then ‘Skyward’ has become the main Fanfare for the Royal Danish Air Force and is being performed live at almost all major Air force events and ceremonies.

But ‘Skyward’ has a meaning that stretches far outside of just military music. It is a piece of hope and dreams of new horizons, looking and yearning towards the sky, and though fully acknowledging its origin from an air force/military context, ‘Skyward’ itself is a fanfare and anthem for peace, not war.

Thrilled to send you the the new single Angels & Outlaws Billboard charting artist Caitlynne Curtis. Entitled “Mood Swings”, the song is about love, relationships and the ups and downs we all face in life. Featuring deep emotive vocals, colorful guitar riffs, and a pop rock chorus highlighted with infectious Americana flair. On the single she confides, “I based it around a couple who are both going thru life and using drugs/alcohol to cope which in return causes it to become toxic and the song also can be a metaphor for life as a relationship and the chaos that comes from the ups and downs we all face”.

Caitlynne Curtis is a Billboard Charting artist and has received acclaim from the likes of Earmilk, Atwood, among others and has 40+ million streams across platforms. Thanks so much for your consideration,

Caitlynne Curtis started singing when she was 3 years old. She fondly remembers, “I used to sing to my grandma.” When she was 6 her mom put her in voice lessons. The minute she got her first solo she said, “It’s like I knew from then on that music is what I wanted to do.” Her parents moved her whole family down to Nashville from Massachusetts when she was twelve so that she could pursue music. After receiving a heartbreaking rejection from X Factor at the tender age of 16, Caitlynne thought she blew her chance at being a singer, but she never really gave up. Her life took a detour when she had her son at 19. Selling cars to support herself and her son, she would record covers of songs to her Instagram as a small way to keep her dream alive. Fortunately, the stars aligned and the right person came along to change everything. Now, thirteen years after moving to Nashville, Caitlynne is realizing her dream. Signed to Angels & Outlaws, an independent label spearheaded by rapper Struggle Jennings, she released her first full length album early in 2021. Her single “I Will Survive” is an autobiographical narrative of Curtis transforming her life for the better and finding newfound purpose in being a mom to her new son. Her new track “Mood Swings” is a song is about love, relationships and the ups and downs we all face in life.

Elizabeth shares, “Happier Now is about the feelings that come after a heartbreak, you know, you are getting better, you are healthier, you won’t fall apart if you see your ex at a party. But you also start to have the rose coloured nostalgia for a relationship that was no good and wondering what could have been if you’d been able to make it work.”

‘Happier Now’ is a perfect introduction to the Elizabeth of 2022. The lyrical motifs of her debut album The Wonderful World of Nature are recast in neon here, their old prismatic glow replaced by a dangerous, alluring coolness. Unlike Elizabeth’s protagonist’s past, though, the main character in ‘Happier Now’ is marked by her defiance, her total refusal to backslide even as she’s pulled into an ex-partner’s web: “I am happier now,” she insists, “you’re not around.”

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth captures the reckless thrill of romance like no other. On her debut album The Wonderful World of Nature, she stepped away from a messy divorce like a world-weary heroine pulling herself from the wreckage of a car crash: broken glass shining like glitter, bloodstains smearing like blush. Contrasting lush dreampop haze with visceral, disarmingly truthful lyricism, it was a pop record out of time – glamorous and tragic, ultra modern and undeniably timeless, a queer answer to nihilistic, powerfully feminine pop heroes like Lana Del Rey and Lorde. Capturing hearts and minds of media and fans across the globe, the record saw widespread acclaim from the likes of The FADER, Wonderland, PAPER among others, and was included in the Album of the Year lists across The Guardian, The Saturday Paper and the Herald Sun.
