Downfalls Cally Rhodes LoudKult Released: Out now

We say With over 10m combined streams, west Wales-based newcomer Cally Rhodes is back with this irresistible slice of upbeat and honest dance-pop. Written and co-produced by Cally and mixed by Toby Scott (Little Mix, Gorgon City, Girls Aloud), Downfalls fizzes with infectious energy, full of luscious hooks and a want-to-dance beat that is tailor-made for new pop playlists and radio airplay. Released on Friday it featured on Spotify Sweden’s (home to her label, LoudKult) New Music Friday playlist, having previously charted in Spotify’s Viral Top 50 chart and New Music Friday playlists with her earlier singles. It's just been added to BBC Radio Wales A-list following previous radio support for her tracks from BBC Introducing (Artist of the Week) and spot plays on Radio 1 and 2. Further support has come from MTV, Pop Dust, Pop Wrapped, Dancing Astronaut and The Sun, plus her music has been used on Strictly Come Dancing. Before the pandemic, she toured with The Midnight Beast, Louise Redknapp and was due to play Kew Gardens and Cardiff Pride this summer. A confident, honest and headstrong new pop star in the making.   Contact Label: Alex Almqvist, LoudKult Publishing: Available Legal: Mark Ashelford, Russells Management: Mark Walker, Free Focus

Whale Rebecka Reinhard Crowds & Power Recordings Released: Single: Out now/EP: 27 July 2020

We say Originally from Stockholm, but now residing in the UK, singer-songwriter Rebecka Reinhard delivers an absolute gem in this gorgeously subversive and bittersweet indie-rock offering. Its blend of dreamy shoegaze textures, killer melodies and punchy vocals hides a melancholic side, lyrically, as the track speaks about our fractured socio-political climate and current isolated situation. Released earlier this week and recorded with producer Anders Kallmark for his Camden Town-based label Crowds & Power Recordings, Whale ticks all the right boxes for alt-rock and sad playlists, as well as being ripe for sync opportunities for a TV drama series. Clash, Nothing But Hope and Passion and When The Horn Blows are all early fans but expect to see more come on board over the next week for this cool tune.  Contact Label: Nick Arran, Crowds & Power Recordings Publishing: Anders Källmark, Crowds & Power Publishing Online PR: Lorraine Long, Longevity PR Digital: James Corbitt, Autonomy Digital Creative: Kate Lomas, Autonomy Creative Campaign Management: David Rowell, Autonomy Music Group Management: Nick Arran & Anders Källmark, Crowds & Power

Side A: About a Girl (Nirvana)
Side B: Turn to Hate (Orville Peck)

Normally during this time I'd be running around trying to promote the upcoming record and rehearsing to get ready to tour again but given the circumstances I'm trying to work with what I can do at home alone. I picked a couple sub pop songs to cover to release something in the meantime. I played everything on these songs (for better or worse haha) and tracked them in my living room, then sent them over to Jeremy Ferguson to mix. Gotta do what ya gotta to spice it up sometimes. Anywho more soon!!
