The management company is home to well-known names including Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Ray, Noah Cyrus and London Grammar. Since being managed by the company, the singer gave up ownership of her material, only gaining royalties from her music. This essentially meant the label owned the copyright to the artists’ music.

The English-Albanian artist was signed to TaP for just under 10 years, signing to the company in 2013 although the relationship ended suddenly, just nine days into Dua’s February 2022 tour.

It has been revealed the firm has now sold back the catalogue, one year after she left the company. Co-president of TaP Music, Anna Neville gave her best wishes to the singer saying “We wish Dua all the best for the future. This is an exciting time for our publishing company – we are expanding our services and teams globally and continue to add talented writers and artists to our already stellar roster.”

Brian Message, the manager for Radiohead is in favour of artists owning their copyrights and licensing them. He mentioned “A partnership between a financial investor/service provider with the creator shouldn’t mean that the creator has to sell their rights forever,” he continued “For me, that’s unbalanced.”Allegedly this issue continues as long as artists are releasing with labels and selling their songs to publishing.

Dua Lipa has a huge collection of hits including ‘Levitating’, ‘Don’t Start Now’ and ‘Dance The Night’ which featured in the most talked about film of 2023 – ‘Barbie’ and was overseen by producer Mark Ronson. She has also collaborated on songs with numerous big stars such as ‘Cold Heart’, which was released in 2022 with Elton John and remixed by PNAU. It became the 33rd Top 10 song of John’s career and his first No. 1 in 16 years. When asked about the song, Elton named Dua as the star of the show stating “A lot of it is, of course, due to Dua Lipa’s popularity and the brilliant PNAU remix, but I feel very, very content and happy that I’m relevant,”

Now managed by her father, Dukagjin Lipa, the artist is set to make waves with her first release since ‘Dance The Night’. The upcoming single ‘Houdini’ is out on November 9th. She also is set to star in the upcoming film ‘Argylle’ directed by Matthew Vaughan. Her next album will debut in 2024.

The soulful songwriter recognised for her “art of weaving narratively compelling lyrics into a melodically cathartic soundscape” trained as a classical vocalist before honing her skills in jazz at Trinity Laban, the top-class, Greenwich-based conservatoire home to  leading jazz and jazz fusion talent including bands Ezra Collective and Kokoroko, musician and saxophonist, Nubya Garcia and vocalist, Cherise.

Camille spoke with Mxdwn about the inspiration for the song stating “This tune focuses on the transition from lovers to friends.… but with the addition of all the emotional baggage and painfully precious memories”. The track’s introspective lyrics are beautifully told with Rose’s clean and melancholy vocals, encapsulating happy memories of a lost relationship. This is further enhanced by the grooving rhythm section, deeply felt horn lines and lush, layered backing vocals.

Regarding how the song came about, Rose mentions that “the track was spontaneously recorded during a 7-piece band session and reworked in production, resulting in that warm, generous, more-ish sound.” This easy-going writing style seems to be a pattern for the South London songbird whose previous work has been described as a “mellifluously rich soundscape that flows with such ease and finesse”.

Hear the latest single on Spotify:

The artist explores nuances in jazz, soul, R&B, funk and blues and takes influence from huge musical icons such as Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone and Stevie Wonders. Once listening to the new single, it is clear to see the impression these classic vocalists have had on the up-and-coming singer.

After the release of her debut mini-EP “Raining in July” two years ago, the emerging singer has been featured on BBC Sounds, played at Priory Live Festival and performed as both band-leader and frontwoman at dynamic new community-based jazz venues such as MAP Studio Cafe and Avalon Cafe as well as within jazz ensembles and small bands as an improviser.

Watch Camille’s live session of “Raining in July” here:

Camille now performs regularly all over London hosting a weekly jazz residency on Saturday nights with guitarist Ed Coma at Cable Cafe, Oval. Other notable venues include Pasta Nostra, Old Street and BeBeMe, Mayfair. She speaks to Mxdwn about her experience with performing live: “I feel lucky that I can make people happy with my voice – get them to stop in the street, enter a bar or cafe, get them to smile, get them to kiss their partner or dance with their friends- and that’s such a blessing and validation for me and my work”. 

Lots more is on the way for this jazz songbird. You can buy Camille’s music on Bandcamp here.

— Jamie Campbell Bower (@Jamiebower) October 10, 2023

Although Bower’s acting credits have been adding up, making him one of the most sought after stars in the business, the performer has not allowed his musical chops to fall by the wayside, with “Heaven In Your Eyes” set to be his latest hit after 2022’s “I Am.” Following the dissolution of his punk project Counterfeit, Bower has shown his intent to carry on with his passion for music by releasing another new single that is sure to please fans.

With Bower’s various acting endeavours grabbing most of the headlines these days, the singer has also taken the time to reflect on his time with Counterfeit and his solo plans saying to Kerrang, “For me, this is a new chapter of my artistic exploration. Being sort of on my own now has allowed me to go and be more free in the creative process. I can now kind of go, ‘Well, we can do whatever we want,’ and then we’ll just make that work in a live setting. It’s taking all the things that I loved in Counterfeit – a lot of the rock elements – and blending it with things that perhaps weren’t suitable for Counterfeit. But mainly this is an opportunity for me to kind of just be more expressive.”

While Counterfeit tapped into the punk/hardcore  sonic edge, with Bower embracing the DIY tough work ethic of the scene, he has also previously expressed his admiration for American country music-a genre he explored with last year’s single, “I Am.” Speaking about the single and inspiration behind it, he divulged, “I’ve always written some country and western music. I love the structure of a country song. It’s always very fun to go into; it’s classic.”

With the snippet of “Heaven In Your Eyes,” that Bower has provided so far, the singer looks set to continue where “I Am” left off, with the country twang of the guitars at the forefront. The single will be available Friday and can be pre-saved here.

Bower had his film debut in 2007’s Tim Burton classic Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, where audiences were introduced to the power of his vocal abilities. Shortly thereafter, Bower had roles in the Harry Potter franchise, Twilight franchise and, perhaps most notable of all, Stranger Things where he performed the chilling season four villain of Vecna.

In an interview with Mxdwn Magazine she spoke about her emotions during the writing process “I wrote this song a week after having someone I loved seemingly completely change their attitude to me overnight, and I went in the studio straight away with Paul Stanborough to produce the song. I think the initial anger, hurt and confusion I felt in those first few weeks really comes across in the final production”.

The London-based artist, who has been writing and performing music since the age of 12, released her debut single ‘Never Will’ on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, iTunes and Amazon in August 2023. She has named alt-pop artists such as Holly Humberstone and BLÜ EYES as strong influences in her writing.

‘Where’d You Go’ was produced by Paul Stanborough (Kylie Minogue, Natasha Bedingeld, Benedict Cork) and Morris thanked Stanborough for his “musical genius“ in her release day Instagram post.

Listen to the song here:

Collaborating with songwriters all over the globe, the artist has seen her work played on Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Love Island and has been featured on both New Music Friday UK Notable Releases. Through studying Music at Leeds College of Music and ICMP, Francesca’s passion for songwriting, specifically toplining, only grew stronger. She has a vast network of writers who she regularly works with and her versatility and creativity seemingly showers in to each writing session she attends.

The Brighton born, BRIT School alumna has announced two upcoming live UK dates in both Brighton and London with the first being a showcase at The Camden Club on the first of November. The Chalk Farm based venue has started a new evening of artist showcases which is free to attend. Joining the singer will be Amaya and The Echoes and Bonita Delaney.

On the sixteenth of November, Morris will join Shoegaze and Dreampop inspired artist Oliver Beardmore and Maida Rose on the Brighton leg of their tour at The Folklore Rooms. Tickets can be bought here.  The singer is definitely one to watch – with more live shows and music in the new year, there is plenty more on it’s way.

The Scandinavian songstress rose to popularity after garnering support from fellow Bergen creative and art-pop artist, Aurora. Storm joined the singer in Mexico for ‘The Gods We Can Touch’ tour, live at Pepsi Centre in April this year. Both musicians were discovered by one of Norway’s leading music management companies ‘MADE’ which has bases in Bergen, Oslo and London, and has an impressive roster of artists including pop sensation, Sigrid.

With an eclectic mix of influences, the artist takes inspiration from both classic and contemporary sounds citing household names such as Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse and The Beatles as well as current female singer-songwriter and producer, Susanne Sundfør.

A treat for the ears, the singer produces an organic, melancholic tone that melds beautifully with the driving instruments and production beneath her – creating a wall of indie-pop lushness. With her natural musical talent combined with a stratosphere of influences flitting from old to new, it’s no wonder her sound has been described as “timeless and immediate”.

Storm started crafting songs at the prime age of seven. Surrounded by music in both the choir and within her family home, the Oslo-born composer was driven to study music and went on to hone her skills at LIMPI (Lillehammer Institute of Music Production and Industries) as well as within the jazz department at Toneheim Folkehøgskole. 

In autumn 2022, she made strides in her career: signing with Petroleum Records and playing widely known festivals Vill Vill Fest and By: Larm where she amazed critics and audiences alike. This led to being booked for one of Norway’s biggest and most important music festivals based in Oslo: Øya. 

The singer is ready to follow in the footsteps of her Scandi contemporaries. Showering London with her catchy melodies and smoky vocals, she commits to her promising career as a recording artist stating “As long as I can keep making lots of music and live the life I am living now, it will be the best I could have imagined.” 

The unmissable event will be held at 7 p.m. on the 25th of October at The Blue Basement, Third Man Records in the bustling streets of Soho, London. Head to thirdmanstore.co.uk for tickets.

Ryan was found guilty of being drunk on an aircraft, racially aggravated common assault by beating, and behaving in an abusive way towards the cabin crew member.

As reported by The Guardian, the Blue member told Leah Gordon, a female member of the aircraft’s cabin crew he wanted her “chocolate children” on a British Airways flight from Glasgow to London. Gordon told the judge of this case that Ryan had called her “beautiful”, stating “He was making comments about my complexion, ‘you’re my chocolate darling, my chocolate cookie’ and ‘I’m going to have your chocolate children'”.

After Gordon told the singer to “stay away” from her, he reportedly grabbed both her wrists before some passengers intervened.

The ‘All Rise’ singer reportedly asked for his seat to be upgraded from economy to business class, however, due to the flight being sold out this was not possible. According to BBC News, another flight attendant Jade Smith told the court that “He told me he had a problem, that he was being harassed by other passengers, that he was famous and asked did I know who he was … He was angry, saying he was a gold card holder and that he needed to be moved because of this.”

Ryan received a 12-month prison sentence for the assault by Judge Nicholas Wood. Wood also ordered Ryan to pay £2500 in compensation to victim Leah Gordon, £750 to Jade Smith and £510 in costs.

Ryan has high-functioning autistic spectrum disorder, and underwent psychological assessments following his arrest. After viewing the results of these assessments, Judge Nicholas Wood declared that Ryan did not pose an ongoing risk to the public. Wood agreed to suspend the jail term for the next 18 months.

According to Sky News, Ealing Magistrates’ Court were informed that Ryan was “slurring his words and staggering around” after drinking an entire bottle of port before his flight on July 31st 2022. Shortly after, Ryan was refused more alcohol on the plane and told to return to his seat, this is when the singer made comments about the flight attendant’s looks.

The Blue pop star confessed to drinking in the British Airways lounge after his flight was delayed, however he claims to have no memory of the incident.
