A welcomed follow-up to SOLOMON’s 2022 offerings, including viral single ‘listen up’, ‘Phases’, produced by Grades & RISC, is an introspective track that sees the Londoner’s smooth vocals move effortlessly across the stripped-back instrumentation. Taking the listener on a musical journey with him, ‘Phases’ details the often uncomfortable and conflicting aftermath of a relationship breakdown, and SOLOMON‘s challenge of trying to move on whilst constantly being pulled back into the memory of his lover. Accompanied by U.K. alternative-rap artist Kojey Radical, the duo creates what can only be described as auditory gold as they take SOLOMON’s signature velvety sound and translate it into an ever-relatable heartbreak story that will keep listeners captivated.
Dubbed as the track responsible for sending SOLOMON’s music into the spotlight within the music industry, ‘Phases’ was not only sampled by up-and-coming rapper Ice Spice in her ‘On The Radar’ freestyle (which garnered a play on Drake’s OVO Sound radio show), but was heard by UK rap luminary Kojey Radical in a version on TikTok which lead to him reaching out to SOLOMON to record a verse for the track we have today. SOLOMON has also received co-signs from Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez, meanwhile, BROCKHAMPTON who tapped his track ‘Robbery’ for ‘Listerine’ from their recent final album.
‘Phases’ precedes SOLOMON’s take over in the world of R&B, and soul, and as he makes his way into mainstream recognition the single begins an exciting string of releases and live performances that are sure to propel SOLOMON even further into public consciousness.

Reiley will be heading to Liverpool in May looking to reclaim the Eurovision crown for Denmark, 10 years after Emmelie de Forest triumphed with ‘Only Teardrops’ in 2013.
Denmark has also won Eurovision on two other occassions, with The Olsen Brothers’ ‘Fly On The Wings Of Love’ in 2000, and Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann’s victory all the way back in 1963 with ‘Dansevisve’.
Reiley will also be looking to boost Denmark’s recent form in the competition – the Danes haven’t qualified for the Eurovision grand final since 2019.
Straight after being announced as the winner, Reiley said: “Let’s have a song from Denmark that can qualify for the finals, and let’s do this, I’ll make you proud.”

Joel Corry and Caity Baser have teamed up for a new single, ‘Dance Around It’. Joel has said it’s been “killing it” in his club sets and it is sure to be the tune of the summer.
shiv has been releasing music independently since 2019. Her debut single ‘Here’ ushered in a singer
and songwriter that shed new light on classic ‘90s R&B, albeit with extra creamy, sensual warmth.
Other songs such as ‘Over’, ‘You and I’, ‘Hold Me’, ‘Golden’, and ‘Letting You Know’, showcased a
song-writing talent that was ripe for discovery far beyond the remit of Ireland, amassing 20 Million
Global streams.
‘Late Now’ is her first release with Warner Music Ireland. Delighted to welcome shiv to the label,
Senior Vice President Priscilla Kotey says ‘shiv’s music spoke to me on so many levels, from her
artistry, to song-writing, I just want the world to know about her. We are incredibly excited to
work together’
shiv’s songs have rippled out into the world in a calm, unhurried way that reflects shiv herself:
expressive, caring, and self-aware. Having studied Educational Psychology at UCD, shiv’s ability to
understand human behaviour is reflected in her songs, but also understanding her own feelings
about the world around her.
shiv wrote ‘Late Now’ while she was living in Paris with a production duo called Superparka. ‘I tried
my best to portray a feeling of frustration and chaos through the lyrics and ensured that was a key
part of the production. It’s really exciting to show people a different side to me, show that I’m not
bound to a specific genre/mood and begin to grow as an artist both thematically and musically.’
Adding that she wrote from her own experiences of feeling between two worlds.. For shiv it is a song
of frustration at both herself but the world around her, while time continues to tick on and we are
forever ‘late Now’ to substantial change. But a song that she really enjoyed making, and was an
emotionally cathartic song to write.
This is the first of new music to be released in 2023. Expect lots more news from shiv in the coming
months.
