SUMMARY:Singular Artists presents Goldlink
DESCRIPTION:Singular Artists presents Goldlink – 10th Anniversary of ‘And After That We Didn’t Talk’ \nSunday\, May 3rd 2026 \nThere wasn’t exactly a place in the landscape for an artist like GoldLink-until GoldLink made one. Raised in and around Washington\, D.C.\, the rapper (born D’Anthony Carlos in 1993) started writing music in his late teens\, staking out an uncharted space at the intersection of hip-hop\, house\, electronic music\, and R&B-a colourful\, head-spinning sound that made him stand out instantly. In 2014\, he released his debut mixtape\, The God Complex; the next year\, he made the XXL Freshman Class. Buoyed by a mentoring credit from Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin\, And After That\, We Didn’t Talk followed in 2015\, striking a balance between narrative grit and a sparkling\, effervescent sound. \nIn 2017\, he released At What Cost\, featuring the Grammy-nominated “Crew.” Alongside MCs and producers like Anderson .Paak\, KAYTRANADA\, Flume\, and Chance the Rapper\, GoldLink’s sound represents an ever-broadening sense of what hip-hop and dance music can do\, imagining a borderless club world where affiliations of genre and region bow to the music’s overall feel: not rap\, not electronic\, but what GoldLink has playfully called “future bounce” —and he’s making it right now.

SUMMARY:Robert Finley
DESCRIPTION:On the back-end of his incredible performance on BBC’s Later With Jools Holland this month\, Louisiana soul-blues artist Robert Finley is announcing more headline shows in France\, Netherlands and Germany for 2026. The tour follows his critically acclaimed album Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya\, which was released earlier this year via Easy Eye Sound. \nFinley kicks off the fourteen date run of shows in Tourcoing\, France on February 24th and then makes his way to the Netherlands for four shows followed by four more shows in Germany ending in Berlin on March 12th. Tickets for all shows go on sale this Friday. Visit (XXXXX) for tickets. \nFinley’s new album Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya received global acclaim\, with SPIN declaring the artist “a master musician and entertainer – only gets better with time\,” and UNCUT noting: “Approaching his eighth decade … Finley’s work here is clearly just getting started.” \nThe album — produced by longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach at his Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville — features bold\, joy-driven gospel-soul statements like “I Wanna Thank You\,” and was recorded in the spirit of live improvisation with Finley and his band. Finley now brings his unmissable live show across Europe. \n— — — — \nAfter a lifetime of hard work\, Robert Finley has established himself as one of today’s preeminent spokesmen of the blues. Born and raised in the small town of Bernice\, LA\, Finley spent decades playing music as a street performer and leader of the gospel group Brother Finley and the Gospel Sisters before making his long overdue recording debut at the young age of 62 with 2016’s Age Don’t Mean A Thing. The album captured the attention of Easy Eye Sound founder Dan Auerbach\, beginning a long collaborative relationship that has included 2017’s Goin’ Platinum\, 2021’s autobiographical Sharecropper’s Son\, and 2023’s critically acclaimed Black Bayou. An 11-track tour de force that coalesces southern soul\, jazz\, folk\, blues\, rock ‘n’ roll and more into a raw\, thundering tribute to Finley’s home state of Louisiana\, the latter album was met by ecstatic applause from leading publications around the world spanning SPIN\, The FADER\, No Depression\, American Songwriter\, Paste\, Uncut\, and more with MOJO simply declaring in a five-starred rave\, “Black Bayou is surely the album Finley was put on Earth to create\, filled with stories only he could tell.” \nAn electrifying performer known for his soulful swagger and gritty vocal power\, Finley has since proven a hugely popular international live act with sold-out headline tours\, countless festival appearances\, shows alongside The Black Keys\, and a leading role in Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound Revue. Finley has also made a number of high-profile network TV appearances\, including the 2019 season of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” – where he eventually made it to the semi-finals – and CBS Saturday Morning. Having overcome great adversity – including losing his sight in his 60s – Robert Finley is now justly recognized the world over as a singular storyteller and one of the last great bluesmen of the modern era\, a true living legend with still more magic to come.

SUMMARY:The Bros. Landreth
DESCRIPTION:The Bros. Landreth are two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg\, known for their blend of guitar-driven\, soulful\, blood harmony roots music. The band\, the core of which consists of brothers Dave and Joey Landreth\, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience for their heartfelt songs\, inventive musicianship\, and powerful performances. From their early days attending their father’s gigs as babies (“Mom would tuck us into a bassinet and slide us under the bar tables\,” says Dave)\, the brothers have spent a lifetime touring rock clubs\, theatres\, and music festivals across North America\, the UK\, Europe\, and Australia\, including stand-out performances at Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles. In 2023\, a banner year for the band\, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitt’s cover of their song\, Made Up Mind (from their first album\, Let it Lie)\, earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognition was a fitting nod from one of their musical heroes\, as their own music draws inspiration from the well-worn records of their childhood — Bonnie Raitt’s blues\, Little Feat’s funky country-rock\, Ry Cooder’s eclectic instrumentals\, Lyle Lovett’s twangy traditionalism — culminating in a sound that salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present. \nDrawing on the energy of their recent live shows and a newfound sense of creative purpose\, The Bros. Landreth returned to the studio for their fourth full-length album\, Dog Ear. This record captures the spontaneous and collaborative spirit of their touring band\, which includes drummer Roman Clarke and producer Murray Pulver\, and marks a new\, more effortless approach to songwriting. The band describes the album as a deeply personal and emotionally resonant work\, exploring themes of family and the quest for stability amidst the itinerant life of a touring musician\, and says it’s “really about trying to figure out what it means to be a consistent force in the lives of the people you care about.” With songs like the title track written for their children\, the album captures a raw and focused energy in the studio\, featuring a handful of magical first takes and special collaborations with pop vocalist Begonia\, keyboardist Glenn Patscha\, and a powerful guest vocal performance from their longtime hero\, Bonnie Raitt\, who appears on two tracks (Knuckles\, Half Moon Eyes). The band ultimately hopes\, “Maybe something on this record will get stuck in your head\, or take root in your heart… Maybe\, just maybe it’ll work its way into some little useful corner of your life\, in the way that songs sometimes can do.”

SUMMARY:CLARA LA SAN
DESCRIPTION:Renowned for her richly personalised\, effortless style of hook-rich songcraft\, Clara La San is a composer\, producer\, and singer who has developed a resounding reputation for writing and arranging songs that feel instantly familiar and timeless\, with a distinctly fresh appeal. \n\nThe 2023 self-release of her single In This Darkness earned her solo sound 100s of millions of plays on streaming services\, pinpointing her status among the prized songwriters of her generation. \n  \n\n\nWhilst her music is patently steeped in a holistic listening of myriad musical strands – from early 00’s R&B to contemporary rap instrumentals – she braids her influences with inspirations from cinema scores and up-to-the-second sound design to express a singular style of soul for the 2020s and beyond. This palpable sense of classically emotive but modernist production is matched by a rare ability for realising top line vocal melodies\, layered in blushing harmonies that instantly imprint on the memory and have kept her growing and devoted fanbase\, including many other artists and peers\, returning for more. \n\n\nClara La San deploys her enviably natural feel for extended melody at the service of telling stories borne from lived experience. Her discreet\, observant skill at divining sensual poetry from everyday life has only grown in stature since early guest vocal appearances prompted her to front her own mixtape\, Good Mourning\, co-produced with Jam City and released in 2017\, since deleted from DSPs – only adding to the mysterious allure weaved across her persona. \n\n\nSubsequent songwriting credits for the likes of Yves Tumor and Bicep have proven her range and unleashed Clara La San’s confidence in a solo sound that speaks to her maturity and dare-to-differ approach to working in the music industry. \n\n\nClara La San’s debut album Made Mistakes finely balances a renewed conviction in her solo sound with an empathetic vulnerability that identifies her as equal parts R&B siren and elder sister to a generation of young women who are increasingly taking control of their agency\, finding their place in the world. \n\n\nSomewhat shadowy and avoidant of the spotlight previously\, with Made Mistakes we are opened up not just to her music\, but the whole Clara La San audio-visual world\, finally unlocked for fans to interpret and ultimately lose themselves in. \n\n\nFrom any perspective\, Clara La San’s is a remarkable story of biding one’s time\, trusting instincts and never forcing oneself to “play the game”. Her strategy\, like her music\, is a rare example of swerving tricks or stunts in favour of allowing flavours to enrich and come to fruition in their own time. The result is an artist and sound whose music resonates and gratifies timeless needs and feels\, whilst entirely emblematic of her generation.

SUMMARY:Leigh-Anne
DESCRIPTION:Leigh-Anne’s debut album ‘My Ego Told Me To’ – due to be released in February 2026 – marks the beginning of a bold new era that sees her firmly in control. \nTo celebrate the project’s announcement\, Leigh-Anne shares ‘My Ego Told Me To’ Tour dates\, including a show at 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Monday\, 6 April 2026. \n\n\nAs a solo artist\, Leigh-Anne has quickly amassed over 110M+ global streams\, earned two UK Top 40 singles\, completed a sold-out UK and Ireland tour\, and graced the covers of major publications including Rolling Stone UK\, Glamour and Tush. \nIn 2023\, she released her debut singles ‘Don’t Say Love’ and ‘My Love’\, experimenting with new sounds and styles\, before unveiling her 2024 EP ‘No Hard Feelings’. A personal exploration of love\, the project showcased Leigh-Anne’s growth as both an artist and songwriter\, skillfully blending her Bajan and Jamaican roots with contemporary R&B influences. \nBreaking free from expectation and playing by no one’s rules but her own\, Leigh-Anne’s debut album is a bold and unapologetic expression of freedom. Written by Leigh-Anne alongside the likes of Clarence “Coffee” Jr. (Dua Lipa\, Beyoncé)\, Owen Cutts (Stormzy\, Greentea Peng)\, Khris Riddick (SZA\, Kehlani\, Odeal)\, Fred Ball (Rihanna\, Jessie Reyez)\, and rooted in her vibrant Caribbean heritage\, the record sonically blends pop\, R&B\, dancehall\, and reggae into a powerful celebration of identity. Unfiltered and uncompromised\, it captures an artist letting go of who she once was to become who she truly is – fearless\, honest\, and finally in control. The album includes recent singles ‘Been A Minute’ and ‘Burning Up’\, as well as upcoming single ‘Dead and Gone’\, out Friday 17th October. Tracklist to be revealed. \nLeigh-Anne on My Ego Told Me To: “This album is the truest representation of me as an artist. Versatile\, rooted in reggae and my heritage\, but stamped with pop. It’s personal and impossible to box in. I wanted it to feel authentic\, blending the genres I love with a sound that’s distinctly mine. It’s also a statement: standing by my art and doing it my way. These are songs I’ll be proud of in five\, ten years\, because they reflect exactly where I was. You’ll hear my world in it\, my daughters\, my marriage\, my fight for power\, and the moment I embraced my fire side and said: no more. This is my show now.” \nLeigh-Anne has today announced ‘My Ego Told Me To Tour’\, which will include dates in the UK\, Ireland and Europe. The UK and Ireland leg of the ‘My Ego Told Me To Tour’ will kick off on April 6th 2026 in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre\, with stops in Glasgow\, Manchester and Bristol before making its way to London with a show at O2 Kentish Town Forum.

SUMMARY:Leon Thomas
DESCRIPTION:In support of HEEL\, the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed sophomore album MUTT\, Grammy-winning Brooklyn native Leon Thomas has announced details of his upcoming MUTTS DON’T HEEL World Tour\, which includes a show in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on 31st March 2026. \n\n\nLeon recently released MUTT Deluxe: HEEL\, a natural continuation of the original\, digging deeper into his sonic universe and fetching a bold blend of psychedelic R&B\, rock textures\, soul\, and boundary-pushing production. New collaborations with Kehlani\, Big Sean\, and Halle elevate the project’s emotional and musical scope\, as Leon hones his reflections on singlehood\, connection\, and self-exposure. With tightly crafted compositions and distinct creative clarity\, Thomas delivers a fearless extension of his signature sound–unleashing bite where MUTT once explored duality. HEEL doesn’t just follow; it bares its teeth. \nMUTT Deluxe: HEEL’s focus track\, “NOT FAIR\,” is a sultry confessional that captures the disarming power of desire. With piano-laced production and hypnotic harmonies\, Leon unpacks the emotional whiplash of loving someone who knows exactly how to pull you in and push you away – a devoted mutt chasing a love that refuses to heel. “NOT FAIR”  lingers in a space of elusive\, intoxicating intimacy and mysticism. \nLast month\, Leon released his single “RATHER BE ALONE” featuring multi Grammy-nominated artist and actress\, Halle. A hypnotic blend of R&B infused with smoky soul and rock influences\, the track is a soulful reckoning about walking away when love no longer serves you\, and choosing personal peace over the chaos of what once was. Unfolding like a slow-burning confession\, wrapped in hazy guitar and swelling strings\, Leon’s smooth vocals intertwine seamlessly with Halle’s airy delivery\, adding a subtle\, psychedelic touch. \nLeon’s boldly introspective and highly acclaimed second studio album\, MUTT\, continues to push the boundaries of modern R&B\, blending soulful melodies with rock influences and experimental production. Amassing over 1.1 billion streams\, the album’s title track originally entered the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2025 and is steadily climbing\, recently jumping from #15 to #13 – marking Leon’s first Top 40 hit and his debut entry on the Hot 100. The track also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart\, as well as the R&B Digital Song Sales and R&B Streaming Songs charts. A high-impact remix featuring Chris Brown helped introduce the record to an even broader audience\, fueling its rise to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart and the UK R&B Singles Chart. \nLeon is currently the digital cover star of GAFFER Magazine and performed “NOT FAIR” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 3. Leon has also been nominated for Best New Artist and Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and will be performing on the mainstage at the upcoming 2025 BET Awards.  “MUTT” has also been certified platinum\, highlighting its widespread acclaim. Featuring collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign\, Freddie Gibbs\, Wale\, and more\, MUTT vividly explores the multifaceted nature of love – from the exhilarating rush of singlehood to the nuanced depths of emotional intimacy. Thomas weaves a narrative that fearlessly peels back layers of vulnerability\, grappling with themes of fame\, emotional detachment\, and the quest for genuine connection. \nLeon Thomas continues to redefine modern R&B\, becoming an emblem of the genre and shaping its cultural landscape. MUTT has garnered widespread critical acclaim\, named the #1 R&B Album of 2024 by Billboard and VIBE. It has also earned spots on several other Best of 2024 lists\, further solidifying its status as one of the year’s standout releases. Billboard describes him as “one of the hottest names in R&B\,” with MUTT being hailed as “the most stunning R&B album of 2024.” VIBE called it “one of the best R&B albums of the year\,” while Essence celebrated it for pushing the boundaries of Black music\, cementing Leon as “one of R&B’s most exciting voices.” \nLeon continues to cement himself as a generational star. His NPR Tiny Desk performance went viral\, peaking at #2 on YouTube and #5 on X\, further iconizing his influence in music and culture. This year\, he was named Billboard’s Chartbreaker and MTV PUSH’s Artist of the Month\, in addition to making his TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show\, and first cover with GUAP Magazine. \nLast year\, Leon Thomas took MUTT on the road for his completely sold-out 13-stop North American headline tour. He also joined BLXST’s I Will Always Come Find You tour as a special guest\, bringing their collaboration on the “Crash & Burn” remix from Thomas’s 2023 debut album Electric Dusk to life on stage. With back-to-back sold-out shows and high-profile tour appearances\, Thomas continues to cement himself as one of R&B’s most dynamic live performers. \nFrom a viral Tiny Desk to BET nods and Hot 100 climbs\, Leon Thomas has spent the last year rewriting R&B’s rulebook. With MUTT Deluxe: HEEL\, Leon pushes his momentum further–fiercer\, bolder\, and taking his vision even further.

SUMMARY:Aiken Presents: Calum Agnew
DESCRIPTION:Rising soul-pop frontman and Hotpress’ New Local Hero 2025 winner\, is carving out a chic-sleaze space in Ireland’s music scene. With a seductive vocal tone and a knack for weaving intricately catchy pop melodies through soulful\, jazz-leaning arrangements\, Calum lands somewhere between Amy Winehouse\, Joy Crookes\, and RAYE but with a vision and direction unmistakably his own\, and unlike anything else in Ireland right now. \nComposing and directing a full 7-piece band in his signature thrifted pinstripe suit\, Calum brings an unapologetic mod-meets-modern energy to both his music and his live shows. There’s a mischievous charm to it all\, theatrical\, a bit glam\, but rooted in raw\, soulful vulnerability. \nWith 1\,000+ radio plays and over 6 million impacts across just two singles (Never and Anymore)\, Calum is now building toward a full debut EP coming out in February 2026.

SUMMARY:dexter in the newsagent
DESCRIPTION:South London’s Dexter In The Newsagent is one of the UK’s most exciting and authentic new voices. Her music captures the restless\, reflective energy of coming of age\, blending lo-fi intimacy with sharp songwriting and understated soul. \nHaving first started releasing music under the moniker ‘dexter’ to keep her creative world secret from her family\, she quickly caught attention with self-recorded tracks made on her iPhone. Her debut EP\, I Do Love a Good Sandwich\, marked a turning point both sonically and personally\, introducing listeners to her raw honesty and melodic instinct. The project drew praise from BBC Radio 1 (Annie Mac\, Clara Amfo)\, NME\, Pigeons & Planes\, Clash\, and The Line of Best Fit\, with its artwork created by acclaimed artist Slawn\, making it a defining early moment in her rise. \nSigned to RULESTHEWORLD Records (the music arm of Corteiz)\, Dexter has gone from DIY bedroom recordings to selling out headline shows and supporting some of the most forward-thinking artists in music today. Following her acclaimed 2022 project Fortune Cookie\, which featured fan favourites “Something Real” and “Vexed”\, she’s continued to evolve her sound with singles like “Special”\, “Eighteen”\, and “I Told Ya.” \nHer lyrics explore the messy\, beautiful in-betweens of young adulthood\, love\, frustration\, self-doubt\, and growth\, all with a conversational honesty that’s become her signature. Dexter’s voice\, soft yet striking\, moves between vulnerability and quiet confidence\, earning her comparisons to the UK’s most vital new storytellers.
