Djo – the musical project of actor / producer / songwriter Joe Keery known for his work in blockbuster projects as Stranger Things and Fargo – announces his highly anticipated new album The Crux. The follow-up to Djo's 2022 album DECIDE, which featured the blockbuster hit "End of Beginning,” The Crux will be released on April 4th on AWAL. Djo has also announced a major 2025 global tour. The Djo - Back On You Tour will feature Post Animal as support on all North American, UK and EU tour dates. The Crux was co-produced by Keery and his long-time collaborator Adam Thein. It's an album of impeccable craftsmanship. Unlike Keery’s previous albums - bedroom recordings centered around synths - The Crux spotlights lush guitars and instrumentation reminiscent of late 60’s and 70’s pop. It's an album full of loss and yearning, but also one full of wit and gratitude. The album was written all over the world in a particularly fertile period for Keery - where he was grappling with the transience of his other job, being untethered and away from his friends and family. But to make the album he settled into the legendary Electric Lady Studios in his adopted home of New York City. The Crux not only showcases his ambitious scope, but also his skills as a deft multi-instrumentalist and songwriter (all songs were written by Keery or in collaboration with Adam Thein). The first single “Basic Being Basic,” with Oberheim OB-X8 synths and falsetto refrain, has its final verses shrewdly skewer the (often online) tropes of modern day posturing. “It’s kind of a shot fired to anyone who's trying to be of the moment,” says Keery.

I’m Lola Young, a South London girl with a big mouth and an even bigger love for making music. At 23, I’ve been lucky enough to create songs that speak to people on a global scale, blending the chaos of heartbreak, self-discovery, and everything in between into sounds that feel real and unapologetically me.

My official debut album, This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway, is all about raw emotion—love, rage, humor, and finding myself. It’s not just pop music; it’s a mix of everything I’ve ever loved, from hip-hop and indie to art-pop and grunge. Working with incredible producers like Jared Solomon (Solomonophonic), Conor Dickinson, and even SZA, I spent six months crafting these songs, pouring my life into every lyric. Tracks like “Don’t Hate Me” and “Conceited” have gone viral, connecting with people in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

I started out young, writing songs at 11 and performing in open mic nights around London. The Brit School gave me some grounding, but it’s the years of gigging in pubs and finding my sound that really shaped me. Since signing to Island at 18, I’ve released EPs, gone viral on TikTok (shoutout to my best mate Lily West for filming those DIY vids), and gained a fan base that includes Madonna—still can’t believe that one!

My music is rooted in real life: messy relationships, mental health struggles, the highs and lows of being young and figuring it all out. I grew up listening to legends like Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, and Prince, but I’ve always found my own way. I think that’s why my songs resonate—they’re brutally honest, sometimes funny, and always true to me.

With a sold-out U.S. tour and This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway finally out there, I’m ready for whatever comes next. Fame is scary, sure, but I just want people to relate to what I’m saying. If my songs make someone feel a little less alone, then I know I’m doing something right.

Rachel Chinouriri is 2024’s most exciting British breakout star. With the release of her debut album What A Devastating Turn Of Events she cemented her reputation as one of the UK’s most accomplished young songwriters. Making the album was a cathartic experience for Chinouriri: by putting the challenges and joys of her life so far under a microscope she traverses themes of life, death, home and belonging, mental health, love and letting go with unflinching honesty, resulting in a one of the most unique indie pop records in years. What A Devastating Turn Of Events landed in the Top 20 of the UK Official Charts and led to Rachel securing her first two BRIT Award nominations (Artist Of The Year, Best New Artist), following previous nominations for an Ivor Novello award, multiple Rolling Stone UK awards and being tipped on the BBC’s coveted Sound Of poll. Following the album’s release she played a triumphant and emotional set on Glastonbury’s The Other Stage, sold out her UK headline tour and starts 2025 by supporting Sabrina Carpenter on all dates of her Spring UKand Europe arena tour. With her fiercely loyal fanbase, the ‘Darlings’ behind her, and over 2.4 million monthly Spotify listeners, Chinouriri has clocked up over 233 million global streams to date. Over years of experimenting with musical stylings, highlighted in her exploratory 2021 Four° in Winter project, Rachel began to hone a style totally her own with her 2022 EP Better Off Without, blending her signature delicate vocals with pure indie instrumentation. She has been praised by the likes of The Observer ("brimming with fresh ideas"), NME (“consistently charming”), GQ (“Chinouriri is set to dominate”), BBC Radio 1, Later… With Jools Holland and more. Elsewhere, she’s received recognition and support from the likes of Adele, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender and Hollywood darling Florence Pugh, who starred in the video for Rachel’s single ‘Never Need Me’.

Willson, Ashe’s third studio album, is a triumphant follow-up to her debut album Ashlyn and sophomore album Rae. (2 billion career streams, 1 million IG, 1.3 million Tik Tok) The third in the installment, and her surname, Willson is a strong return to Ashe’s songwriting roots and marks her return to Nashville, where she started her career after graduating from Berklee College of Music. A record about her life-altering divorce changed her life for the better, "Moral of the Story" went viral mere weeks before the pandemic in 2020 - leading to billions of streams and global tours for years before it led to a career burnout. She took a pause, moved back to Nashville where her career had started and took some time to reset and re-center herself. She bought a home and renovated it herself. When she was finally convinced to join a friend’s writing session, she fell back in love with music again. She came home from the session and the first song of what became Willson poured out of her. She was back. Willson is about staying true to who you are, coming back to yourself after losing yourself, and understanding that it’s all part of the human experience. This is the first album Ashe will be releasing independently, after parting ways with previous label of 7 years. She is the primary songwriter of the album as well as the creative director for the project visuals. Willson feels sticky and sweet - like getting bit by a mosquito on a hot, summer day.

Peach PRC takes the things you only say on text to close friends (or exes) and turns them into pop that shimmers as much as it singes. The rising pop star packs an often unbelievable journey from writing and recording in her bedroom to social media phenomenon into smart, slick, and sweet songs with a bold bite. Equally funny and sensitive, she holds nothing back when it comes to life’s ups and downs, mental health, and everything in between. Peach PRC has received over 2 billion social views, a combined audience of 4 million-plus social followers, generated over 220 million combined artist streams, and attracted acclaim from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Vogue Australia, BuzzFeed, Consequence, NME, Paper, Refinery29 and more. Launching her TikTok page in 2019, she organically attracted an audience by posting everything from funny moments to self-care advice and, of course, music. A snippet of her first single “Blondes” played over the background of a video where she discussed the track’s meaning, and it went viral. The full version eventually amassed over 15 million Spotify streams as she maintained this momentum with the follow-up “Colourblind”, racking up another 4 million Spotify streams. Along the way, she carefully cultivated an undeniable style with a twist. That twist defines her debut single “Josh,” the ultimate kiss-off to the worst ex ever and has already received over 36 million streams and counting. Peach PRC followed up the success of “Josh” with her self-proclaimed girly camp pop single “Symptomatic”, receiving over 12 million plus combined streams to date, and ending 2021 with “Heavy”, which has tallied 22 million plus combined streams. In 2022, Peach PRC released the liberating single “God Is A Freak” and had everyone talking including pop music titans Billie Eilish, Finneas, and Justin Tranter. Followed up by “Forever Drunk”, where she teamed up with GRAMMY Award-nominated powerhouse songwriter Bonnie McKee. In 2023, she captivated audiences and tastemakers with the Manic Dream Pixie EP. Beyond piling up millions of streams, it debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The chart-topping EP included singles “Kinda Famous”, “F U Goodbye”, and “Perfect For You” which notably pays tribute to Paris Hilton’s gold-certified 2006 smash “Stars Are Blind.” Among the EP’s acclaim, she received multiple ARIA Award nominations (Best Pop, Best Video, and Best Artwork), and nominated at this year’s TikTok Awards (Music Act of The Year). 2024 also saw Peach PRC travelling the globe, performing for a sold-out debut headline tour with stops across Australia, North America, and the United Kingdom. With special performances that include supporting BlackPink in London’s Hyde Park, Splendour in the Grass Festival, Spilt Milk Festival, Falls Festival and Spin Off Festival. 2025 is setting up to be a massive year with multiple new singles to be released and once again international and Australian tours. As always, there’s no shortage of passion, power, and pink. It is Peach PRC after all…
