TOMORA (The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands and AURORA) Announce Collaboration With New Single + Video For "RING THE ALARM"

INTRODUCING: TOMORA THE NEW DUO OF TOM ROWLANDS (THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS) AND AURORA DEBUT SINGLE AND OFFICIAL VIDEO “RING THE ALARM” OUT NOW VIA CAPITOL RECORDS LISTEN HERE AND WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

Listen HERE and watch the official video directed by Adam Smith, HERE.   Until now, TOMORA’s identity was unknown, with their presence on next year’s festival lineups for Coachella, NOS Alive, Colours of Ostrava, Øya and Down The Rabbit Hole sparking online speculation as to who the mysterious act may be.   But today, all is revealed. TOMORA is two entities - TOM and ORA - as one. And by way of an introduction to their world, they have unleashed “RING THE ALARM” ; a glorious, mechanized sound of alien contact, alive with chaos, mischief and release. “RING THE ALARM” – which premiered today by BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, is a record that slips across eras, it’s a sharp reminder of what 33 revolutions per minute can do. This is the sound of atoms splitting inside your head — “Oscillations” by Silver Apples rewired for the 21st century to make the kind of electronic record that feels cosmically tuned to blow speaker stacks the world over.    It starts with a signal, a tuned digital alarm that rings and rings and rings until a relentless bass drum kicks in and a joyous vocal joins, singing a three-word refrain that should feel like a warning but instead lands as the ultimate invitation, a command for anyone standing in front of it: RING THE ALARM.   Of the single, the duo say: “We wanted TOMORA to be a band, not two individuals. It’s our musical feeling come to life.”   TOMORA is the result of two unique and pioneering artists’ worlds colliding, inevitably. As one half of The Chemical Brothers, Tom Rowlands has defined the sound of British electronic music, and AURORA has established herself one of pop music’s most distinctive voices. Their orbits began to converge, and before long AURORA featured on The Chemical Brothers’ GRAMMY® Award-winning 2019 album No Geography - a favor returned when Tom produced some of her acclaimed 2024 album What Happened To The Heart?. The natural chemistry between the two artists, and alchemy that came from their collaboration, has led us to this point: “RING THE ALARM.” More news will follow from TOMORA.

The newly reworked version arrives following the release of The Year Of The Radical Romantics, which is out now digitally via Mute and will be released on limited edition, numbered black vinyl tomorrow. There is additionally an accompanying The Year Of The Radical Romantics publication, 1000 copies exclusively printed, available for pre-order. The publication will not be reprinted once sold-out.  Listen to The Year Of The Radical Romantics Pre-order The Year Of The Radical Romantics Publication The Year Of The Radical Romantics is a document of the juicy, throbbing missives used to woo crowds from Sydney to Seattle on the globe-trotting There’s No Place I’d Rather Be Tour in support of 2023’s lauded Radical Romantics. The new album consists of live-to-tape studio versions of tracks from Radical Romantics in addition to highlights from 2017’s Plunge and massive new iterations of early classics performed by the musicians who accompanied Dreijer on tour — Minna Koivisto on keyboards; Romarna Campbell on drums; Maryam Nikandish and Helena Gutarra on keytars and vocals. Radical Romantics’ riotous, world-building videos introduced an unforgettable cast of characters. Accompanying Fever Ray (aka the white-suited Casanova) are wannabe-womanizer Romance, clockwatcher Main, witchy Snusis, and axe-wielding bombshell Demona Lisa. The Year of Radical Romantics offers a culmination of these character’s arcs with a pair of videos directed by longtime longtime Fever Ray creative visionary Martin Falck. The visuals find the misfits navigating group therapy sessions led by therapist Ebba. These sessions are soundtracked by blistering versions of fan favourites from Fever Ray’s beloved self-titled 2009 debut album: “I’m Not Done (Therapy Session” and “Now’s the Only Time I Know (Therapy Session).” The Year Of The Radical Romantics publication is available to pre-order. The publication, designed and edited by Fever Ray and Falck, dives deeper into the creative process behind the making of the Radical Romantics universe. The publication showcases initial sketches and the trials and errors that shaped the characters seen on stage, in photographs, and music videos. It also features press photography, cover shoots, editorials, and exclusive behind-the-scenes imagery captured by Fever Ray, the live band, and photographer Nina Andersson. Falck says of the publication: “Creating the characters for the Radical Romantics era has been a true labor of love. Bringing them to life, watching them experience love, heartbreak, death, and even getting fired, has been an absolute joy. Working on this publication has given us a chance to reflect on our own creative process, and we’re so excited to share it with you.”

This seasonal offering features a wealth of her original Christmas songs and covers, alongside a boisterous rendition of "Fairytale of New York" with fellow collaborator and artist Maddox Jones. Janet will be taking to YouTube ahead of the premiere via livestream and encourages her listeners to tune in and watch the show together.  In the wake of her deluxe album release, Not My First Emotional Rodeo, Janet and label OKGood Records decided to ring out the year in style and devised a special program of her popular Christmas releases to bring the festive spirit to her fans and followers, and get them singing their way into the holidays.  Janet explains: "This Christmas special is something that I’ve been wanting to do for so long and it finally came into being! I’m so grateful to my label and fans as I was able to bring together a wonderful group of musicians to help make this a reality. Of course, I had to have John and Mike to accompany me, and I was lucky enough to have the amazing Marc Rapson (a.k.a. 'Mr Vox') on keys. Even manager Rick came out of retirement to play the drums and the all-important jingle bells! Having some of my dearest fans in the room made it all the more special. I had a blast and definitely left the studio that day feeling VERY festive! I loved sharing the experience with Maddox - he’s such a beautiful soul and an exceptional writer, I might have known that we’d have a brilliant time!” Recorded live at George Ezra’s Hotel Québec Recording Studio in Hertford, UK, Janet welcomed a specially invited audience to experience the session, bringing a warmth and closeness to proceedings. She intertwines sensitive renditions of Christmas classics such as "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "White Christmas" around hyped-up, vibrant originals, including "Christmas Kiss," "Something Beginning With Christmas," and the audience-participation-filled "Happy Holidays." Maddox performed his 2024 Christmas single "It’s Christmas Time" to delighted spectators, and the pair also duetted on "Fairytale of New York," prompting further sing-alongs from the assembled crowd. The fairy light-draped studio becomes the epicentre of Yuletide, and the 45-minute special leaves you feeling full of the joys of Christmas. After taking the country music live scene by storm in 2025, Janet is already lining up appearances throughout 2026 at Country Calling and In It Together Festival with more to be announced in the coming weeks. Janet also currently appears in a high-profile ad campaign for Galgorm Collection who used her rendition of "Time After Time" for its 2025 Christmas film Christmas All Around, which also led to Janet featuring on the front cover of the Ulster Tatler.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | December 4, 2025 – Soul to Soul, a vibrant and historically significant 1971 concert film — featuring performances by Ike & Tina Turner, Santana, Wilson Pickett, the Staple Singers, Les McCann & Eddie Harris, and the Voices of East Harlem — will be available again on February 20, ahead of the concert’s 55th anniversary on March 6. Released by Liberation Hall in partnership with Reelin’ In The Years Productions, Soul to Soul will appear for the first time on Blu-ray. Additionally, Soul to Soul: Music from the Original Soundtrack will arrive at retail on vinyl LP, CD & digital on the same date. The film will also be released on DVD. Pre-order all formats at Bandcamp. Pre-order Blu-ray & DVD at Amazon. Pre-order LP, CD & digital at Amazon.   In February 1971, several dozen African American soul, jazz, and gospel artists embarked on a journey that would change the lives of everyone involved. They traveled from New York City to Ghana, West Africa to take part in a 13-hour concert entitled Soul to Soul. The concert was a celebration of 14 years of Ghana’s independence from British rule. For most of these artists, it would be their first trip to Africa. For the African American musicians, this was a journey about personal roots, the ancestral homeland, history, discovery, loss, pain and joy.   Directed by Academy AwardⓇ winner Denis Sanders and produced by Tom Mosk and Richard Bock, the resulting concert film/documentary had a limited theatrical run in late 1971. In 2004, Reelin’ In The Years Productions President David Peck secured permission for a DVD release from the producer and copyright holder of Soul to Soul. With the help of a clearance specialist, he was able re-clear all the artists seen in the 1971 film.   Now, 20 years later, Soul to Soul will have another chance to connect with audiences via a partnership between Reelin’ In The Years Productions and Liberation Hall. Steve Scoville of Blue H2O Productions restored the original edit by reconstructing each scene using the high quality 2K transfers from the original film elements, which were shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio. The film’s soundtrack has been digitally remastered by Randy Perry.

Above all, Soul to Soul is an electrifying concert film that features its players at the peak of their powers. Over 100,000 Ghanaians attended the celebration of the meeting of the cultures of the two continents. The Ike & Tina Turner Revue, featuring frontwoman Tina furiously shimmying alongside the Ikettes, delivers fiery renditions of “River Deep-Mountain High,” the project’s first digital single; “Soul to Soul,” a cut specifically written for this concert; and a cover of Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” [The latter track appears as a special Blu-ray outtake]. Wilson Pickett, the most popular American artist known to West Africans at the time, took the stage at 4:30 AM to deliver a rousing finale of “In the Midnight Hour,” “Funky Broadway,” and “Land of a 1000 Dances.” Gospel, soul, and R&B family group the Staple Singers were on hand to perform “When Will Be We Paid” and “Are You Sure” just five months before they recorded their legendary hits “I’ll Take You There” and “Respect Yourself.” Pianist Les McCann and tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris introduced many members of the audience to jazz via spirited performances of “The Price You Gotta Pay to Be Free” and “Hey Jorler,” the latter featuring local Ghanaian artist Amoah Azangeo. The Voices of East Harlem, an ensemble featuring young gospel singers, contributed “Run, Shaker Life.”   Santana, with guest percussionist Willie Bobo, was the wild card. The San Francisco group only had one African American member but, paradoxically, given its reliance on Afro-Cuban and other Latin American rhythm constructs, played the most African-sounding music (“Black Magic Woman”/”Gypsy Queen,” “Jungle Strut”) of any of the American guests. In Rob Bowman’s expanded liner notes for the Blu-ray, he quotes musicologist John Collins as stating, “They had a big impact on the local guitarists. The students were really fascinated by what Santana was doing with Latin music and rock… The obvious equation was, if you can unite Latin music with rock, you can do the same with African music. That’s actually what happened.”   Interspersed between these stunning performances, the camera crew followed the American musicians as they visited local villages, met kings, and shared food and dance with the Ghanaian community. In his August 19, 1971, film review for The New York Times, critic Howard Thompson wrote: “Soul to Soul will hook you. We defy anybody to watch the final half hour of this color documentary of a soul and gospel music concert, performed in Ghana, without tapping a foot. But it is the sea of rapturous black faces, those of the visiting American artists and their Ghana audiences, that makes this movie a haunting experience… Mainly and compactly, the film sticks to the concert, brilliantly evoking the performances and crowd reactions in a flow of closeups and panoramic shots, to the stabbing, pounding pulse of the music.”   VARIOUS ARTISTS – Soul to Soul (Blu-ray: LIB- 2193 | DVD: LIB-2190)   BLU-RAY & DVD TRACKLIST:   Wilson Pickett – 1) “In the Midnight Hour,” 2) “Land of 1000 Dances” | Santana – 3) “Jungle Strut,” 4) “Black Magic Woman”/“Gypsy Queen” | Ike & Tina Turner – ) “River Deep-Mountain High,” 6) “Soul to Soul,” 7) “Ooh Poo Pah Doo,” 8) “I Smell Trouble” | The Staple Singers – 9) “When Will We Be Paid,” 10) “Are You Sure” | Les McCann & Eddie Harris – 11) ”The Price You Gotta Pay to Be Free,” 12) “Hey Jorler” (with Amoah Azangeo) | The Voices of East Harlem – 13) “Run, Shaker Life.”   Blu-Ray bonus features: * 32-page booklet with expanded liner notes by Rob Bowman * Outtake performance: Ike & Tina Turner – “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” * Four separate commentary tracks: 1) Mavis Staples (The Staple Singers) 2) Les McCann with Kevin Griffin (The Voices of East Harlem) 3) Producer Tom Mosk with reissue producer David Peck of Reelin’ In The Years Productions 4) Ike Turner, Michael Shrieve (Santana), Obo Addy (Ghanaian drummer), Kevin Griffin and Les McCann.   VARIOUS ARTISTS – Soul to Soul: Music from the Original Soundtrack
