Laurel: New Track 'Life Worth Living'
Southampton-raised, 21 year old London-based singer, songwriter and producer Laurel Arnell-Cullen has today revealed her brand new song 'Life Worth Living' from the forthcoming Theia Recordings release, after time away concentrating on producing her debut album.
'Life Worth Living' was solely written, recorded, produced and performed by Laurel in her East London bedroom based studio. It follow's two EPs, 'To The Hills' and 'Holy Water' and the release of single 'Blue Blood', which Laurel released in the summer last year. She posted the song several years earlier on Soundcloud as an unknown teenager, which spiked huge industry and blog interest, described as:
"mix of pop nous with emotion bearing traits of folk" - The Guardian
"The new face of British alt-pop" - Vogue
"England's Alt-Pop teen with some serious vocal chops" - Noisey
"If you're tired of that upbeat, sugary indie pop, here's your remedy' - Pigeons and Planes
Laurel has been busy touring and playing numerous UK festivals including, The Great Escape, Dot to Dot, Bestival, and Radio 1's Big Weekend. Laurel also played her first U.S shows at The Troubadour in LA, KCRW's 'School Night' in LA & New York, Northside Festival in New York and NXNE in Toronto.
With a debut album scheduled for late 2016, 'Life Worth Living' further enhances Laurel's position as a phenomenal new talent, mixing strong hook based electronic production with striking yet touching songwriting and powerfully enchanting vocals.

The 1975: New Album Debuts At #1 In UK, USA, Canada, Australia & NZ
The 1975's new album 'I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it' has debuted at #1 in the UK Official Albums Chart and US Billboard Hot 200. The Manchester four-piece join the esteemed ranks of The Beatles, Radiohead and David Bowie, amongst others, in simultaneously conquering the official albums chart on both sides of the Atlantic.
Their sophomore has also soared to number one in Canada, Australia and New Zealand and claimed the top spot on iTunes in 37 countries on launch.
The much-anticipated album, released through Dirty Hit / Polydor, has united critics in their praise, earning plaudits ranging from "Essential" (NME - 4 stars), "Packed full of fantastic pop songs and smart lyrics" (The Guardian - 4 stars), "Astonishing" (Sunday Times Culture) to "Heroically ambitious" (GQ), "A flamboyant triumph" (Evening Standard) and "This is their year" (The Times - 4 stars). Q declares them "The UK's most exciting young band".
'I like it when you sleep...' follows in the footsteps of the quartet's million-selling self-titled debut which also claimed the top spot on the UK Official Albums Chart on its first week of release. It is a bold and brilliant record made up of infectious pop hooks and sprawling electro sonics, an ambitious stride forward for one of the UK's most exciting young bands.
The 1975 today embark on a 15-date sold out tour of the UK and Ireland, including a five night run at London's O2 Brixton Academy and four nights at the O2 Apollo in the band's hometown of Manchester.
The 1975 have had the sort of breakthrough that only happens once a decade. Healy, Adam Hann (guitar), Ross MacDonald (bass) and George Daniel (drums) formed at school on the outskirts of Manchester ten years ago. After years of honing their sound, 2013's debut album revealed a band who could blend accessible and anthemic choruses with an artistic aesthetic. It was a record where indie-pop grooves and alt R&B atmospherics sat seamlessly next to each other. A mass audience connected with indelible tracks such as 'Chocolate', 'Girls', 'Sex and Robbers' and their tales of adolescent recklessness. The group toured the world, playing sold-out shows from Kuala Lumpur to San Francisco.
All these experiences feed into the band's second album which was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Healy and Daniel alongside production collaborator Mike Crossey. It distils their love of 80s sonics into something that sounds impossibly now, a record that shifts between shimmying guitar grooves ('She's American', 'Love Me'), experimental electronic soundscapes ('I like it when you sleep...', 'Please Be Naked') and cascading, adventurous pop songs ('If I Believe You', 'Lostmyhead', 'The Sound') whilst always sounding part of the same whole. "Why create one type of music when nobody consumes one type of music?" says Healy. "The idea of rules in art is completely farcical."
The 1975 have made a record that captures the exhilarating feeling of falling in love and the devastation of breaking-up and all the fun and drama in between. They have a cherished mix of unlimited ambition and the rarefied talent to back it up. "We're like brothers, we really are. We don't know anyone who is as close with their siblings as we are we each other because from age 13 to now we've been in the same room together," says Healy. This spirit is at the heart of their glorious second album. It will be one of the most important releases of 2016. The 1975 have set a benchmark that will be hard to follow.

Coco: New Single 'Big N Serious'
Named as one of Annie Mac's artists to watch in 2016 for the latest edition of Mixmag, the all round Sheffield don that has exploded on to the scene in 2015 with tracks 'Big Bou Yah' and 'Target Practice', Coco shows why he's the man that everyone is talking about by delivering his brand new, and aptly named single, 'Big N Serious'.
Kicking things off with a throwback 80's hip-hop intro think A Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC kind of vibe with those big brass samples blasting through - Coco's vocal gets a dose of mash-up to create a crazy catchy hook that instantly gets your attention. And then the bass kicks in!
Coco owns it from the get go as he sprays across the verses like a machine and delivers his bars with the distinct tone and timing that he's fast becoming recognized for.
'Big N Serious' is previewed on i-D.www.i-d.vice.com/en_gb/article/premiere-coco-big-n-serious
