The song is the latest preview of Kane’s upcoming album ‘Change The Show’, which will be released in early 2022 and follows singles ‘Don’t Let It Get You Down’ and, most recently, ‘Caroline’.

Discussing the new track, he said: “‘See Ya When I See Ya’ is about being confident in yourself and sticking to your gut whilst letting the Jekyll and Hydes pass you by.”

Watch the track’s video, directed by Phoebe Fox, below:

Kane announced ‘Change The Show’ last month, and also shared its first single, ‘Don’t Let It Get You Down’. Following on from 2018’s ‘Coup De Grace’, the record is set to arrive on January 21, 2022.

“This album was born out of an intense period of self-reflection; having all this unexpected time on my hands,” he explained of working amid the coronavirus crisis throughout the last 18 months.

“I wrote songs about big highs, big lows, daydreams, true friends and deep feelings. I learnt to let the future unfold of its own accord, while staying true to myself and that has led to what feels to me like a really uplifting album!”

Following the album’s release, Kane will head out on an extensive 2022 UK tour. Tickets for the shows are on sale here now. The full list of dates is below.

Sam Fender has shared a new video for his latest single ‘Get You Down’ – watch the bloody visual below.

The new video, directed by Hector Dockrill, follows Fender’s recent video for ‘Spit Of You’, which saw This Is England star Stephen Graham playing the role of the singer’s father.

In the ‘Get You Down’ video, Fender drives a car around a racetrack before being involved in a bloody accident.

Check it out below:

‘Get You Down’ is taken from Fender’s new album ‘Seventeen Going Under’, which took the top spot in the UK charts upon its release this month (October 8).

In a four-star review of ‘Seventeen Going Under’, NME wrote: “[The album] sees Fender realise that it can kick back a lot harder, and he counts every blow and bruise. But he seems to have found that time passes and that most wounds – even the deepest – will eventually heal, if he can allow them to.”

Following the album’s release, Fender informed fans that some deliveries of his new album had been delayed by “Brexit customs issues” and “fuel shortages”.

He will head out on a huge UK arena tour next year, including an appearance at Wembley Arena in London on April 1, with gigs also taking place in Nottingham (March 20), Liverpool (March 21), Glasgow (March 26) and Newcastle (April 5). New dates were added to the tour last week, which follows an existing run of rescheduled sold-out shows across the rest of October and November.

After a four-decade-long hiatus, a new strain of ABBA Mania is sweeping the globe.

The Swedish pop legends broke the drought last month with two new releases, “Don’t Shut Me Down,” and “I Still Have Faith In You,” both of which appear on the foursome’s forthcoming album Voyage, due out Nov. 5.

Today, fans are treated to a third fresh ABBA tune, “Just A Notion.”

A rollicking, feel-good number, “Just A Notion” feels like peak-era ABBA. And there’s a reason for that. “Just A Notion’ was originally written and recorded in the summer of 1978 during the early sessions for ABBA’s sixth studio album Voulez-Vous, but didn’t make the final cut.

It’s a “treasure from the past,” in the band’s own words.

“Just A Notion,” recounts founding member Björn Ulvaeus in a social media post, is “a ridiculously happy song and hopefully it will cheer you up in these dark times!”

ABBA’s comeback has been well received. In the U.K. “Don’t Shut Me Down” debuted at No. 9 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, for the group’s 20th Top 10 single, while “I Still Have Faith In You” was close behind, starting at No. 14 on the main chart and topping the Official Vinyl Singles Chart.

The Swedes will take their marks next spring for ABBA Voyage, a virtual residency housed at a custom-built arena in east London.

Day6’s Jae Park has spoken out about how he is experiencing freedom “for the first time” in ten years.

READ MORE: Day6 (Even Of Day): “Whenever we listen to songs in different languages, there’s still emotions that we can feel”

During an October 21 Instagram Live broadcast – as archived on YouTube – the Korean-American singer briefly talked about some new changes in his life, including his newfound freedom and recent tattoos. This comes after another session from earlier this month where he had discussed how his hiatus from Day6 wasn’t his choice.

Jae – who releases solo music under the moniker eaJ – said that his new tattoos represent his newfound happiness and freedom. “This is just very much me, experiencing and expressing my freedom for the first time in ten years. And me being able to do whatever the fuck I want, solely because I want to.”

The Day6 vocalist went on to express his excitement for the changes to come, although he didn’t specify what that might be or entail. “For the first time in my life, I get to be ‘real Jae’. No more PG, Disney Channel filter bullshit. Just actual Jae,” he declared. “I’m very very happy and excited about that.”

He later ended the session discussing his upcoming appearance at 88rising’s Head In The Clouds 2021 festival in Los Angeles next month. “That’s probably where I’m gonna see and talk to you [next]. I’m super excited. I’m really really excited, and a little nervous,” Jae shared.

Earlier this week, the singer had held a brief Instagram Live broadcast to reassure fans about this well-being. “I don’t know where this all came from. I’m chillin’. Don’t worry about me. I’m not going to do anything crazy,” Jae explained during the broadcast. “Shit happens. It’s fine. It’s just how life goes on.”

Filipino singer-songwriter No Rome has released the new single, ‘When She Comes Around’.

READ MORE: No Rome on his new rock-inspired album: “It’s like this emo kid-turned-raver who’s always alone in the club”

The single was issued earlier today (October 22) on digital platforms via Dirty Hit. Prior to its release, No Rome unveiled a brief 25-second visual teaser and also confirmed the title of his upcoming album: ‘It’s All Smiles’, which is due out in December.

‘When She Comes Around’ is its first single, a lovelorn R&B song awash in shoegaze guitars and distorted drums. It received a striking music video, directed by Paco Raterta, filled with gritty city scenes and a vehicle set aflame. Watch it below.

Earlier today, BusinessMirror reported that ‘It’s All Smiles’ is due for release on December 3. The album was recorded in No Rome’s hometown of Manila and was co-produced by No Rome, BJ Burton, Sachi DiSerafino and The 1975’s George Daniel.

In a statement, No Rome revealed he recorded the song after watching Björk in a live performance of her album ‘Vespertine’.

“I wanted to make a song that was heavy on the strings but after days of working on it I eventually brought it to a more guitar-driven song,” he said, per BusinessMirror.

“I sent this song to BJ and he came back with something much more than I expected, with more textures and stronger bass sounds and just better structure really and we just went crazy on it.”

In an interview with NME in April, No Rome spoke about ‘It’s All Smiles’, saying that the album is “something that I’ve wanted to say as a musician for a while.”

In April, No Rome landed on Forbes’ 2021 30 Under 30 Asia list alongside Hong Kong’s Jackson Wang of GOT7, South Korean singer-songwriter IU, and New Zealand singer BENEE.

CL has taken on First We Feast’s popular ‘Hot Ones’ challenge, trying a range of spicy sauces that rank progressively higher on the Scoville scale.

READ MORE: CL – ‘ALPHA’ review: an incandescent return well worth the wait

The South Korean singer released her long-awaited debut full-length album ‘ALPHA’ earlier this week, alongside the music video for its latest single ‘Tie A Cherry’. Accompanied by ‘Hot Ones’ host Sean Evans, CL tried a selection of sauces that get progressively spicier throughout the interview.

“Eating on camera, I don’t think I’ve ever done that before,” said the K-pop veteran, taking her first bite from a classic hot sauce-covered wing. “It’s good!” she exclaims.

As the singer moved up the Scoville scale, CL opened up about her creative process. “It’s a character I build, and once that message and who she is is created, everything I want to talk about comes and flows naturally,” she shared.

The star went on to reflect on her time with girl group 2NE1, where she first debuted in 2007. “I think being able to work with three very different types of characters, together as a group – I learned so much from them,” she reflected.

“Like, [Park] Bom’s vocals are amazing, and just learning how she talks, even, helps a lot, and you’re just around that all the time,” the former 2NE1 leader. “Things like that, they’re just naturally soaked into me. They are a part of me, always.”

Later, Evans asked CL how Korean food measures up to other cuisines in terms of spiciness. “It’s very spicy. But at the same time, I cant really talk because there’s a lot going on right now,” she answered with teary eyes. “Am I high right now?”

“I don’t think you’re supposed to put that on food,” the singer exclaimed as she approached the spiciest sauces in the challenge. “I hate my team, they were so excited about this, about me being here.”

In a four-star review of CL’s ‘ALPHA’, NME said called the record “a homecoming by all definitions of the word, the singer-rapper takes an unabashed leap into the unknown while forging and fortifying her signature sound.”

ENHYPEN have opened up about how their debut studio album ‘Dimension : Dilemma’ reflects their own journey as musicians.

READ MORE: ENHYPEN: “We’re determined to become ‘the’ destination for K-pop fans around the world”

In a recent interview with Billboard, the seven-member act spoke about how their latest release picks up from where their May mini-album ‘Border : Carnival’ left off. The record, which arrived last week alongside its lead single ‘Tamed-Dashed’, had marked the group’s first full-length album.

“In the ‘Border’ album, we talked about our experience and the emotions we felt before and just after our debut. But on this new ‘Dimension’ album, we try to express and portray the emotions we felt after being part of the music industry for about a year now,” shared Australian-raised member Jake.

“This new [post-debut] world is much more complex and much more multi-dimensional than we expected,” he added.

Elsewhere in the interview, the boyband also discussed their decision to incorporate themes of rugby and American football in their music video for ‘Tamed-Dashed’. “When a team plays sports together, they laugh, cry, and share a wide range of emotions,” said Japanese member Ni-ki.

“So, we thought that the sports theme was perfect to illustrate the story of the track, which expresses the resolution to run forward and past one’s dilemma,” he explained.

ENHYPEN also spoke about exploring different genres though in ‘Dimension : Dilemma’. “All of the members are interested in various genres of music,” said Heesung, who shared that their decision to include a variety of genres in the album was “a way to show many aspects of ENHYPEN’s charms”.

In a four-star review of the release, NME’s Tanu I. Raj praised alt-rock inspired b-side ‘Attention, Please!’, describing it as a “neat throwback to the early 2000s era of indie rock, brought to completion by the intense desire to have both love and popularity.”
