Vampire Weekend has released three songs in accompaniment to their GRAMMY-Award winning album Father of the Bride. These bonus tracks were originally released exclusively on the physical Japanese CD and were not available digitally until now. See full tracklist below.

February 28, 2020 – (Santa Monica, CA) Jessie Ware is back with a brand new single “Spotlight” out today and announces her fourth studio album What’s Your Pleasure? for release on June 5 via PMR Records / Friends Keep Secrets/ Interscope Records.  Listen to the single HERE

Spotlight” sees Jessie return to where she belongs and entirely on her own terms, pulling back the curtain and unveiling what she has been so passionately creating over the last two years. What’s Your Pleasure? is a thank you to those long-term fans for sticking by her. 

The new single is co-written by Jessie and her close friends Danny Parker, Shungudzo Kuyimba and James Ford (who also produced and mixed the single). Serving up a divine slice of elegant Nu Disco, “Spotlight” is an incisive, refreshingly positive throwback that channels the energy of classic funk and dance.

The video, also out today, was directed by Jovan Todorovic in Belgrade aboard former Yugoslavian Dictator Tito’s infamous Blue TrainWith strobe lights and high-end visuals the video focuses on the iteration of human interaction, from rising sexual tension to falling emotions all in a club esque environment that sees Jessie flex her dancing skills. “Spotlight” continues to showcase Jessie’s evolution as an artist.

Jessie says, “It feels so amazing to be back making music, so much has happened recently. Some crazy exciting things but I feel so happy to be back to my first love. Music was the first scene that truly embraced me!!
I feel like these last few years I’ve had to do some exploration to figure out what I wanted to write about musically again and learn new things about myself. I’ve been yearning for that escapism, groove and maybe it’s time to say goodbye to the melancholy Jessie.

I’ve spent the last year in the studio with an old friend of mine James Ford, working with a handful of great friends to create a record I’m truly proud of.  I’m happy to share with you my brand new single ‘Spotlight’ taken from my fourth album. It’s melodramatic, it's romantic, it’s everything that I love and it’s got a bit of a beat. This is the first taste of my brand new album ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ which will be out 5th June.
I can’t wait to get back on the road and see you all...It’s been far too long but for now let's have some fun and hope you enjoy the music! x ”

The album recording process has been a transformative period for Jessie that has seen her reconnect with her roots. What’s Your Pleasure? at its core is an album that is rooted in club culture and explores the themes of femininity, freedom of imagination and escapism. The album contains credits from Kindness, her close friends Danny Parker, Shungudzo Kuyimba, Clarence Coffee Jr., producers and DJs Benji B, Midland, Morgan Geist (Storm Queen), Matthew Tavaresthe unmistakable guitar twangs of Metronomy’s Joseph Mount and James Ford from what has become the album’s creative center - his home in London.

ANE BRUN ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE,‘DON’T RUN & HIDE’ EXTENSIVE EUROPEAN TOUR CONFIRMED

Get It Now

ANE BRUN ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE,‘DON’T RUN & HIDE’ 
EXTENSIVE EUROPEAN TOUR CONFIRMED

ANE BRUN has announced details of a brand new single, ‘DON’T RUN AND HIDE’, which will be released by her label, Balloon Ranger Recordings, on February 28, 2020. It’s the first taste of her as-yet-untitled eighth studio album, which will represent her first of original material since 2015’s acclaimed When I’m Free, which took her Top Five in both her native Norway and her adopted homeland of Sweden. Due in stores this autumn, it follows 2017’s exquisite collection of cover versions, Leave Me BreathlessBRUN embarks on a lengthy European tour in October.

‘DON’T RUN AND HIDE’ was the first track written specifically for the new album, and it finds BRUN offering support to someone in a dark place, encouraging them not to isolate themselves: “Don’t run and hide,” she sings with trademark compassion, “Take a peek outside/ I’m here for you.” Like some of When I’m Free, the emotionally charged song reflects BRUN’s love for trip hop, but also nods to contemporary acts including SiR, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak and Solange for inspiration. “I wanted this to ‘stand on the shoulders’ of When I’m Free,” she explains, “and kind of look across over Leave Me Breathless and beyond. The key to our vision was emotional music that also makes you want to move.”

A shape-shifting tune distinguished by a haunting, eastern-tinged melody and gently swelling strings, ‘DON’T RUN AND HIDE’ is founded upon a simple premise. “Many of the songs I like are based around a single bassline that repeats itself,” BRUN explains, “yet the melody remains accessible and interesting throughout. That’s as true of the old baroque arias I’ve covered by Purcell (‘Dido’s Lament’, ‘Laid in Earth’) and Monteverdi (‘Lamento Della Ninfa (Oh Love)’) as of Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’. It brings a sense of boundlessness I find liberating.” 

Produced by BRUN alongside Anton Sundell (co-producer, Leave Me Breathless) and long-term collaborator Martin Hederos, the song also features Hederos on keyboards as well as Samuel Starck (synth), Anna Lund (drums, percussion), Per Eklund (drums, percussion) and Isabel (triangle). Strings were arranged by Daniel Migdal, and the album was mixed and mastered by Grammy and Mercury-nominated Prash ‘Engine-Earz’ Mistry, with whom Brun also wrote ‘The Light From One’, included on 2011’s It All Starts With One

As is typical with BRUN, who rarely repeats herself, her tour later this year will find her performing with a new configuration of musicians. “I’ve played with three of them – Per Eklund (drums), Martin Hederos (keyboards), Johan Lindström (keyboards, pedal steel, guitars) – a lot,” she elaborates, “but this time we’ll be joined by three new members: Felisia Westberg (bass), Lovisa Samuelsson (cello, percussion) and Øyunn (drums). I want to keep the energy from 2016’s Directions tour and build on it, but also find space for the softer side of me. Plus, of course, there’ll be a couple of covers!”

Though this will be her first full tour since those Directions outings, the years since When I’m Free have not been quiet. Having underlined her reputation as a masterful interpreter with Leave Me BreathlessBRUN has continued to play occasional band shows promoting both records, as well as more extravagant, ambitious, collaborative concerts. These included around a dozen performances across Scandinavia with a variety of symphony orchestras – the Stockholm shows, with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, are immortalised in 2018’s Live at Berdwardhallen – as well as a handful of memorable events devoted to the Leave Me Breathless collection, not least a sold-out 2018 show at Oslo’s Spektrum Arena, which was filmed for cinema release. In addition, she was invited to perform at the 2017 Nobel Prize Dinner and the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, not to mention the 2017 Polar Music Prize Ceremony, where she sang ‘Why Should I Cry For You’ in front of its author, that year’s winner, Sting. She also returned to Stockholm’s Berwaldhallen for three shows with the Swedish Radio Choir in 2019.

Brun has also made a number of guest appearances with other acts, including one with Oscar-nominated, Emmy Award-winning composer Dustin O’Halloran (A Winged Victory For The Sullen), with whom she wrote ‘Horizons’, the closing theme for the movie Puzzle, starring Kelly Macdonald. She’s also contributed music to further films and TV shows, including 2018’s Becoming Astrid and 2019’s Hidden, and sang on an animated children’s movie, Alfons Ã…berg. As if this 

weren’t enough, following the 2015 UK Top 5 hit (and Dance Chart No. 1) which she co-wrote with Dr. Kucho! & Gregor Salto, ‘Can’t Stop Playing (Makes Me High)’, she’s been co-writing with Grammy Award-winning producer Andrew Bayer, and has released a number of covers online, as well as her first original Christmas song, 2019’s ‘The First Day of Christmas’.
