Keane recently took their live show to India and South Africa, playing these countries for the very first time and proving the ever-growing demand for the band worldwide. They were joined onstage in Mumbai with Anoushka Shankar to play a special version of “Everybody’s Changing” - watch here.   Hopes and Fears was a landmark album for Keane and has set all kinds of records in the process. It’s one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history having sold over 2.5 million in the UK in its first year, and a million in the USA propelled by their absolutely classic song “Somewhere Only We Know”. Hopes and Fears is 9x platinum in the UK, a remarkable achievement. The album has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. KEANE photo credit: Alex Lake Keane emerged alongside a new vanguard of bands that would change the shape of music: Snow Patrol, Scissor sisters, the Killers and Coldplay. They were the first to create a sound solely revolving around keyboards which enhanced the emotional pull of their songs. “Everybody’s Changing” from Hopes and Fears became a fan favorite and a top five hit.   In 2004, Keane were the biggest selling British artist in the UK. The following year they won two BRIT Awards: Best British Album for Hopes and Fears and British Breakthrough act award as voted for by Radio 1 listeners.   “Somewhere Only We Know” has enjoyed a recent revival on Tik Tok going viral in Asia which lit the spark for a global renaissance of the track which is currently clocking up over two million Spotify streams a day, and in the past 12 months has become Island Records’ biggest selling single. In total, it has been streamed over a billion times.   This year’s tour will celebrate Keane’s acclaimed body of work from their imperious debut Hopes and Fears through to their 2019 studio album Cause and Effect.   Lead singer Tom Chaplin says; “I remember standing by that amazing old mixing desk at Heliocentric Studios where we made Hopes and Fears, listening to an early mix of ‘Somewhere Only We Know.’ I had this feeling that we’d come up with something that had an extra bit of magic. Making music is so often a process full of doubt…but on this occasion there was something undeniable about what we’d created. Clearly a lot of people felt the same when the album came out!” Founding band member and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley said: “When I think about these songs, I still picture us playing them in little rooms in pubs around the UK. I remember how exciting it was watching the crowds start to grow. Those songs opened the door to another dimension for us; everything that has happened in our lives since then was born out of that moment. It’s an incredible privilege for us that people are still listening after all this time.” TOUR DATES: UK TOUR DATES May Fri 3rd LEEDS, First Direct Arena SOLD OUT Sat 4th BIRMINGHAM, Utilita Arena SOLD OUT Sun 5th MANCHESTER, Co-Op Live SOLD OUT Tue 7th BOURNEMOUTH, BIC SOLD OUT Wed 8th CARDIFF, Utilita Arena SOLD OUT Fri 10th LONDON, The O2   Sat 11th LONDON, The O2   Mon 13th DUBLIN 3Arena   WORLD TOUR DATES April Mon 1st MEXICO CITY, Sports Palace SOLD OUT Wed 3rd GUADALAJARA, Auditorio Telmex SOLD OUT Fri 19th AMSTERDAM, AFAS Live SOLD OUT Sun 21st KOLN, E-Werk SOLD OUT Mon 22nd KOLN, E-Werk SOLD OUT Wed 24th BRUSSELS, The Cirque Royal SOLD OUT Thu 25th BRUSSELS, The Cirque Royal SOLD OUT Fri 26th PARIS, L’Olympia SOLD OUT Sat 27th PARIS, L’Olympia SOLD OUT   September Wed 4th BERKELEY, CA, The Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley   Thu 5th LOS ANGELES, CA, The Greek Theatre   Fri 6th SAN DIEGO, CA, Humphreys Concerts By The Bay SOLD OUT Sun 8th SALT LAKE CITY, UT, Venue TBC   Mon 9th DENVER, CO, Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre   Wed 11th DALLAS, TX, The Majestic Theater SOLD OUT Thu 12th AUSTIN, TX, ACL Live At The Moody Theatre   Sat 14th ATLANTA, GA, The Eastern   Sun 15th NASHVILLE, TN, Ryman Auditorium   Tue 17th MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Palace Theater   Wed 18th CHICAGO, IL, The Chicago Theatre   Fri 20th TORONTO, ON, The Queen Elizabeth Theater SOLD OUT Sat 21st PHILADELPHIA, PA, The Met   Mon 23rd BOSTON, MA, MGM Music Hall At Fenway   Tue 24th NEW YORK, NY, Radio City Music Hall   Thu 26th WASHINGTON, DC, The Anthem SOLD OUT   Hopes And Fears 20 - Original Album Remastered Track Listing  Somewhere Only We Know Bend And Break We Might As Well Be Strangers     Everybody's Changing Your Eyes Open She Has No Time Can't Stop Now Sunshine This Is The Last Time On A Day Like Today Untitled 1    Bedshaped   B-Sides & Rarities: Snowed Under Fly To Me Something In Me Was Dying She Opens Her Eyes To The End Of the Earth (Previously Unreleased)  The Way You Want It (Previously Unreleased) Allemande (Previously Unreleased) Walnut Tree Love Actually Wonderful River (Previously Unreleased) More Matey Get Away From Yourself (Previously Unreleased) Demos: (all previously unreleased) Somewhere Only We Know (Tim Demo, September 2002) Somewhere Only We Know (Demo, December 2002) Bend And Break (Demo, April 2002) We Might As Well Be Strangers (Tim Demo, September 2003) Everybody's Changing (Demo, July 2002) Your Eyes Open (Demo, April 2002)  She Has No Time (Demo, October 2002) Can't Stop Now (Demo, January 2003) Sunshine (Demo, February 2002) This Is The Last Time (Demo, May 2002) On A Day Like Today (Tim Demo, September 2003) Untitled 1 (Tim Demo, May 2002) Bedshaped (Demo, October 2002)   7” Vinyl Single: Side A: Love Actually (Studio Version) Side B: Love Actually (Demo)   Keane "Everybody's Changing (Official Music Video)" Link: https://youtu.be/RSNmgE6L8AU?si=HhmNbKjL9DdlJ6-9

Cassadee Pope

Modern country music artist Cassadee Pope has just released the new music video for her latest single, "Say It First," off of her upcoming ninth album,THRIVE, exclusively with Sounds Like Nashville. The video, directed and edited by Ed Pryor, is a colorful depiction of the inner storm that matches the song's eruptive angst along with the vulnerability of its lyrics. 

“Working with Ed Pryor again was such a treat," says Pope. "We both knew we wanted this video to include weather elements and fast flashes to coincide with the inner turmoil the song talks about. I wanted to wear a beautiful dress to further illustrate the fact that vulnerability is strength.”

SHINY JOE RYAN  RELEASE NEW ALBUM  SHINY'S DEMOCRACY  OUT TODAY VIA SPINNING TOP RELEASES VIDEO FOR “A STITCH IN TIME”

Image Credit: Duncan Wright “.. a little bit Beach Boys-esque mixed with a generous psych-rock touch, with dancing vocals moving amongst a hot-bed of guitar and percussion; Shiny Joe plucking from decades' worth of genres and bringing them together...” - Pilerats Sporting a mane of curly locks, a hilarious sense of humour and a lilting Irish brogue, Shiny Joe Ryan is a wonderous enigma.  Today, the Pond multi-instrumentalist releases his second studio album Shiny’s Democracy via Spinning Top Records. Shiny’s Democracy is available in digital formats as well as limited edition apple red 12” vinyl HERE.

Today, Shiny Joe also releases the video for “A Stitch In Time,” Shiny Joe explains the premise for the video saying, “This song is a love song, but that didn't mean it had to have a super serious video clip. So for fun I bought a dog costume and headed to the beach with my mate Shane (who's filmed all my video clips for this album) and Chook my housemate Lizzie's dog. Chook is a 2 year old American Pointer/ Blue Heeler who we've had since he was a pup. The video is Chook and I frolicking on the beach in slow motion with some light analog video effects for fun. “ He went on to say that the song “is one of only two songs on the album that I used my original demo as the basis for recording and then overdubbed the rest at home. I got the name from a something my Mum used to say, 'a stitch in time saves nine' and I guess it's a love song at heart. I have a dinky old plastic keyboard I got as a kid that has really cool string quartet sounds on it. I used that as the base for the song and added a bit of guitar and a basic drum beat. It's a simple song but I find it very nice to listen to.” It’s been a long, seven year wait since the release of his debut solo album The Cosmic Microwave Background in 2014. His musical offerings are as unique as he is - a mix of genres encompassing country, pop and rock, all mangled and mashed into something new, strange and tender. Joe finally found the time to record this new offering between touring as a crew member for Tame Impala and performing with Pond. He wrote and recorded this second album at Tunafish Studios with his band The Sky Dolphins in Western Australia and as well as mixing it himself along with his Pond bandmates, Jay Watson and James Ireland, it was also carefully mastered by fellow WA musical alumni, Kevin Parker.  Shiny Joe explains the concept behind the prolific artwork for the single and album, “It’s a recreation of a photo I saw of Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam being dismissed from parliament in 1975. He's standing on the steps of parliament house surrounded by reporters. I thought it was a very striking image and represented a failure of democracy in Australia. I summoned as many friends as I could, instructed them to dress as 70s as possible and told them to meet me at the clubhouse steps of the Fremantle football oval.” Shiny’s Democracy is an album for anyone and everyone and a sign of a musician who wants to try everything once (or twice) with no plans of slowing down. You’ll find glimpses of his contributions to his band Pond on the record but Shiny Joe definitely carves a path all of his own. Written with a perfect balance of grit, wit and expertly crafted instrumentals, this second album from Shiny Joe Ryan will place him firmly alongside the rest of the Western Australian musical mainstays and definitely marks his triumphant return from his initial solo offering back in 2014. Today, Shiny Joe Ryan is inviting you to climb aboard the Pub Boat and get your groove on!
