PLATINUM-SELLING ARTIST

SYML

RELEASES THIRD STUDIO ALBUM

NOBODY LIVES HERE

LISTEN HERE

April 4, 2025 – Multi-platinum artist and producer SYML shares his new album, Nobody Lives Here. The record, released today, marks Brian Fennell’s clearest and crispest writing to date, looking grief, loss, and mortality directly in the eye, unwavering and harmonious.  Written, recorded, and produced by him, it is fueled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction, a fleeting moment. As he accepts the presence of loss, he still welcomes others into his space with melody, lyrics, a slide guitar, or a cello’s hum, reflecting on the passage of time, the weight of expectations, and the intimate, sometimes unsettling beauty of change. LISTEN & SHARE: SYML NOBODY LIVES HERE: https://syml.ffm.to/nobodyliveshere On Nobody Lives Here, his music remains cinematic and visceral, taking the license to both gut and be gutted. Fennell explains, “We change, the world changes, and there is so much unknown. About a year ago, I started writing songs that represent the change that is happening in front of my face. Many of these songs are about getting older, and the intimate, and sometimes frightening, passing of time. Some are about how getting older revolves around looking forward to things happening, and when they don’t happen or they feel different than anticipated, we can be left with surprise and sadness. I’m actually reminded of this when I watch my 2-year-old! We learn to live with disappointment. I recorded some of these songs with kids and dogs making noise in the background and others in silent studios with musicians I’ve listened to and admired for many years. These songs are meant to be pieces of clothing to wear as you need (or I need). Some are bright and bold, and others are gentle, but they were all made with a sense of comfort in mind, even when things feel bleak. Thankfully, putting myself inside a sad song is still a good place to feel happy.”   WATCH & SHARE: SYML “HEAVY HEARTS” To support the record, SYML is currently on a sold-out Spring l Tour, which includes the Gatheryngs, five nights of intimate performances spanning the globe (NYC, Seattle, Paris, London) to celebrate the album release. He announced this week he will perform at the Grammy Museum in LA on May 5th, with a special Q&A moderated by actor Aaron Paul.  He also has the extensive fall Nobody Lives Here headline tour on sale, which includes stops in Europe, Canada, and the UK. GLOBAL LIVESTREAM: APRIL 7 @ 5AM AEST HERE   With over four billion streams, SYML, Welsh for “simple,”— makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person. It is a way for him to explore identity and belonging and embrace vulnerability and solace in the face of change. Born and raised in Seattle, Fennell studied piano and became a self-taught producer, programmer, and guitarist.  He released his self-titled debut album in 2019, which included the multi-platinum song “Where’s My Love” and the Gold Record fan favorite “Girl.” His 2023 sophomore album, The Day My Father Died, described by NPR as “euphoric,” was recorded at Studio X with renowned producer Phil Ek and features collaborations with Elbow’s Guy Garvey, Lucius, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, and Charlotte Lawrence. His music has become the soundtrack to countless films and TV shows and was used by Lana Del Rey on the song “Paris, TX,” from her Grammy-nominated 2023 album. In 2024, he launched an imprint, FIN. Recordings, a collaboration with his label, Nettwerk Music Group, and management team, Good Harbor Music.

We’ve witnessed the worst this world can throw our way, Chapman suggests on her debut. But the album creates a world where no force exists without a counter. The worst of what we’ve endured, she also offers, makes righteous justice inevitable. It’s a worldview that many could tune into. By the end of the summer of 1988, a few months after the Nelson Mandela tribute, Tracy Chapman was a platinum album and the singer was a star. Chapman came to the world stage with a perspective crystallized in society’s margins. Yet, for all the violence and hopelessness Chapman captures in her lyrics, there’s an equal measure of radical and naive conviction that a more just world is on its way. The album was produced in isolation from popular music, and in defiance of it. She wasn’t a herald of change within the industry so much as she was an example of the innovation to be found outside of it.’ – Pitchfork [January 2019]

Today, Elektra/Rhino Records has reissued Tracy Chapman’s eponymous debut album on vinyl in celebration of its 35th anniversary.

Originally released by Elektra Records in April 1988, Tracy Chapman has long been unavailable on vinyl. This anniversary reissue has been prepared for release by Chapman and the album’s original producer, David Kershenbaum, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and sourced from an analogue master. The album package will also include an insert of translated lyrics, which accompanied the original international release.

Featuring the classic singles ‘Fast Car’, ‘Talkin’ Bout A Revolution’, and ‘Baby Can I Hold You’, the album earned three Grammy Awards and went on to become one of the most successful debuts of all time, peaking at #1 in multiple countries and selling more than 20 million copies worldwide. To this day, it still makes regular appearances on charts around the world, and is one of the most successful albums by a female artist in chart history.

Chapman comments, “I was just out of college when the album came out and for a young singer songwriter it was a dream come true – making a record, recording my own songs, releasing my first album. 1988, that year marked the beginning of what has been a humbling and thrilling experience, seeing fans around the world embrace these 11 songs. I really wanted to mark the 35th anniversary of the album, and so I am grateful to have this opportunity to reissue the record on vinyl.”

At the time of its original release, Rolling Stone wrote, ‘The production is subtle and streamlined, focused unyieldingly on Chapman’s acoustic guitar, her bluesy voice and her carefully wrought tales of characters in contemporary America who seek meaning in the face of society’s fragmentation. Chapman is equally direct about her political beliefs: ‘Poor people gonna rise up/And get their share/Poor people gonna rise up/And take what’s theirs,’ she insists on ‘Talkin’ Bout A Revolution’. Sentiments like these have led critics to view Chapman as a bridge between the Eighties folk revival and the more socially conscious folk movement of the Sixties. What Chapman has going for her is the sheer musicality of her songs and the expressive power of her voice.’ She ended 1988 being named Rolling Stone’s Best New Artist, and in 2021 the album was included in its list of Greatest Albums of All Time, and in 2024 ‘Fast Car’ was included in its list of 100 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Over the course of four decades and eight studio albums, Tracy Chapman has created a body of work that has been as consistently compelling as it is honest and uncompromising, eloquently telling stories with perennial appeal that are at once personal and universal. Impervious to trends, she has commendably stayed her musical course, earning the approbation of fans, critics and peers. Beginning with 1988’s multi-platinum Tracy Chapman, her musical journey has continued with Crossroads (1989), Matters Of The Heart (1992), 1995’s multi-platinum New Beginning (which featured the Grammy-winning single ‘Give Me One Reason’), Telling Stories (2000), Let It Rain (2002), Where You Live (2005), Our Bright Future (2008), and two best-selling compilations, Collection (2001) and Greatest Hits (2015). Along the way, in addition to her four Grammys, Chapman has earned an American Music Award, two Brits, and a Billboard Music Award.

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Chapman was awarded an academic scholarship to the prestigious Wooster School in Danbury, Connecticut, and later attended Tufts University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology (in 2004 she received an honorary doctorate in fine arts from her alma mater). It was while she was there, in the Boston area, in the late 1980s that she began singing in coffee houses, night clubs and street performing around Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Chapman made her breakthrough performance at Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday concert in London in 1988. In the words of the Guardian, ‘It was during the height of the era of fast-buck capitalism, at a televised concert celebrating Mandela’s birthday, that Chapman came out of nowhere and enthralled the world with her songs about social injustice. Just her, an acoustic guitar and a hushed Wembley Stadium.’ Since then, she has appeared frequently in support of social and humanitarian causes, including Amnesty International’s Human Rights Now! Tour, the annual Bridge School benefit concerts, the Nelson Mandela Free South Africa Concert, Farm Aid, Tibetan Freedom Festival, Vote for Change, the Driving Votes tour, San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and many others. Chapman made her theater debut composing the music for a new production of Athol Fugard’s classic 1961 play Blood Knot, which opened at San Francisco’s A.C.T. in 2008, and was directed by Charles Randolph-Wright. In 2012, Chapman performed at the 35th annual Kennedy Center Honors as part of the Buddy Guy tribute. In 2014, she sat on the domestic documentary jury at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2015, she was invited by David Letterman to sing ‘Stand By Me’ during his final season hosting The Late Show, commanding a stage entirely on her own for an emotional performance of a classic song. In November 2020, the night before the US federal elections, Chapman performed ‘Talkin’ Bout A Revolution’ on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Myers to encourage voter participation.

In February 2024, Chapman made a surprise appearance at the 66th Grammy Awards, collaborating with country superstar Luke Combs for an unforgettable duet of ‘Fast Car’. The performance was historic, representing a moment of confluence, coming 35 years to the month since Chapman first performed ‘Fast Car’ at the Grammys and after a year of unprecedented success for Combs with the song. Introduced to a new audience, ‘Fast Car’ achieved new chart peaks across genres (including #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and #2 on the Hot 100), and won two awards at the 2023 CMA Awards (notably Song of the Year for Chapman, who made history as the first Black songwriter to win in the category). Following the Grammy performance, Chapman’s original version re-entered charts around the world (including the Hot 100), as did her debut album. The New York Times wrote, ‘The song felt incredibly spacious – larger than the limitations of genre, welcoming and expansive enough to hold every single person it had ever touched, regardless of the markers of identity that so often divide us. It was a rare reminder of music’s unique ability to obliterate external differences. ‘Fast Car’ is about something more internal and universal. It is a song about the wants and needs that make us human: the desire to be happy, to be loved, to be free.’

By the end of the year, the Grammy performance had made Google’s top 5 trending songs as part of its Year in Search 2024, and ‘Fast Car’ recently entered Spotify’s Billions Club. The performance also topped the New Yorker’s list of Best Performances of 2024, where it was described as “Five and a half blissful minutes. Chapman was back, her voice as lucid and knowing as ever. Combs gazed at her with fanboy reverence as they traded lyrics that told a poignant story. The duet gave the impression – as fleeting as that joyride in the fast car – that one great song could bridge America’s divisions.”

The explosive ARIA Award-winning ska juggernaut that is Melbourne Ska Orchestra returns today armed with a cinematic new single, Walls of Jericho, alongside the announcement of a mammoth global tour set to span Australia, Japan and Canada across July to October 2025. A charismatic addition to their ever-burgeoning repertoire, Walls of Jericho also marks the second taste of the band’s, as yet unannounced, forthcoming new album, following on from the group’s 2024 upbeat track John Wayne.

The Australian leg of ‘The Ballad of Monte Loco’ tour will kick off at Liberty Hall in Sydney on August 1, before moving through Canberra, Geelong, Castlemaine, Hobart, Adelaide, Fremantle, Brisbane and Gold Coast, fittingly finishing up with a home town show at 170 Russell in Melbourne on October 3. Tickets go on sale to the general public on April 4 from www.melbourneskaorchestra.com/.

A track bustling with undulating reggae rhythms, hazy undertones and brassy grit, Walls of Jericho instantly draws to mind classic Spaghetti Western films, channelling the widescreen Western storytelling of Ennio Morricone along with some other key stylistic nods, internally and externally, for good measure. “Burning Spear and Toots and the Maytals always whisper in our ears when we’re deep in that rootsy zone. And a touch of the MSO magico…” the band shares of their latest single. And amongst the jubilant melodics and sparkling delivery, Walls of Jericho also delivers a powerful message, drawn from historic tales that still permeate today; albeit with an uplifting conclusion, as the band explain, “Walls of Jericho is a reflection on the futility of war and how history often repeats itself when we fail to learn. It questions how easily people are led into conflict, often by those with something to gain. The story draws from ancient symbolism—the biblical tale of Jericho—and uses that as a metaphor for breaking down oppressive systems. Despite its heavy themes, the tune ends with an uplifting singalong chorus—because we always want to shine a light on hope, unity and the strength of people when they stand together.”

Produced by Melbourne Ska Orchestra’s enigmatic leader Nicky Bomba, along with MSO’s studio crew, Walls of Jerichobrings a fresh lens to the Melbourne Ska Orchestra sound, with the single offering a second glance into the band’s unannounced new album, fresh on the heels of their 2024 single John Wayne. “We’re thrilled to share that Walls of Jericho is the second taste of our forthcoming album, and yes, John Wayne is riding with us on this journey!” the band share. “This record takes a wider lens on our musical journey—dipping into cinematic reggae, big-band storytelling, and soulful protest vibes. Expect a melting pot of deep grooves, lush horn lines, and a global soundscape that keeps one foot on the dancefloor and the other in the clouds.”

Forming in the early 2000s, Melbourne Ska Orchestra bring together some of Australia’s finest musicians and performers, helmed by Nicky Bomba(John Butler Trio, Bomba, Busyamento). An orchestra with a difference comprising up to 26 members, the group’s 2013 debut self-titled release earned MSO their first of many ARIA Award nominations, with the band going on to win Best World Music Album in 2016 for their sophomore album, Sierra Kilo Alpha, and another win for Best World Music Album in 2019 for their compilation album One Year of Ska; an opus that saw MSO release a song every week for an entire year, culminating 52 tracks for the final result.

With multiple sold out national shows, major multiple festival appearances, three international tours, and multiple awards and nominations in their wake, Melbourne Ska Orchestra’s explosive and infectious live performance, coupled with their unique take on the ska tropes, has seen them travel the world, from Montral to New York, Istanbul, London, Tokyo and Mexico, while also garnering approval from reggae and ska pioneers like Stranger Cole, Owen Grab, Carlos Malcolm, Ranking Roger and Neville Staples along the way. And in 2025, it’s not just new music that is stirring in the world of Melbourne Ska Orchestra, but also a global tour featuring brand new material locked in for July – October 2025; and it’s set to be an incredible exploration of new and old favourite MSO moments alongside lashing of energy and joy. “It’s going to be wild!” shares the band of their upcoming global tour. “These shows will be a blend of the high-energy madness people know us for, plus some deeper, more cinematic moments that really lean into the new record. We’re taking the full 20-piece band across Australia, and the international legs—packed with horns, rhythm, and joyful firepower. Expect dancing, storytelling, and a sonic journey like no other.”

For now, the latest single from Melbourne Ska Orchestra is undeniably yet another glimmering jewel in the band’s spectacular catalogue; perfect for late nights driving down a desert highway as much as it’s also a track yearning to be witnessed live. “Walls of Jericho has been brewing for a while,” the band concludes, “and it’s one of those tracks that really stretches the MSO palette. It’s always exciting to release something that feels both timely and timeless, and this tune really hits that mark for us.”

Tickets for Melbourne Ska Orchestra’s ‘The Ballad Of Monte Loco’ Tour go on sale to the general public on April 4 from www.melbourneskaorchestra.com/.

Effortlessly smooth and laden with charm, the brand new single Is It You out today from award-winning songwriter Nardia offers a glimpse into the talented Melbourne artist’s hotly-anticipated album Own Every Scar set for release this July, with Nardia also dropping a fittingly whimsical accompanying music video today for her dreamlike new single. Nardia will also officially launch her track live in action with a special hometown show on Sunday April 13 at Brunswick Ballroom.

Drawing on echoes of Childish Gambino’s smooth R&B textures along with the heartfelt storytelling of Adele and Carole King, Is It You is a bright yet deeply raw outing, with Nardia effortlessly weaving her powerful vocals against personal narratives and a glossy backdrop of soulful R&B. A joyful fusion of soul, depth and raw emotion, Is It You ultimately details the kindling of attraction, as Nardia herself elaborates, “Is it You captures that moment of intrigue when you meet someone and feel an undeniable pull toward them. There’s an instant spark, but beneath the surface, questions linger like who are they beyond what they show the world? Is the connection real, or is it just the allure of the unknown? The song explores the tension between attraction and curiosity, the desire to uncover someone’s true essence, and the mystery that makes love both exciting and uncertain, leaving you feeling uncomfortably excited.”

Teaming up with Mat Rob at Hope St Studios, also Nardia’s main co-writer for all of her original songs, Is It You also saw Nardia work alongside Ivan Khatchoyan (Cookin’ on 3 Burners, The Traffic, Thando), with mixing and mastering by Choi Productions. And to bring the creative vision of Is It You to life in a visual setting, Nardia paired with Matthew Kelley for the accompanying music video, with the sublime concept springing to life in an extremely short space of time. “I worked closely with Matthew Kelley from Mindseye Productions,” shares Nardia, “and from the moment he heard the track, he was inspired. Within 24 hours, he had a fully formed concept and couldn’t wait to share his vision with me. His passion and professionalism were incredible—he created a detailed mood board, an animatic, and even scheduled a rehearsal before the shoot to ensure every moment was captured perfectly. The result is a visually stunning music video that brings the song’s emotions to life through cinematic storytelling. Set in a retro diner where reality blurs with fantasy, the clip transports viewers into a dreamlike world of longing and mystery. As neon lights flicker and time seems to stand still, we are left wondering—was it really him, or was she simply lost in a dream?”

Growing up with a blues guitarist father and surrounded by a family who played music, Nardia was drawn early on to music that told stories and moved people. Also drawn to the stage early on, over time Nardia would soon find her voice, both literally and figuratively, leading her to carving out a firm reputation for her breathtaking intensity and musical prowess. Imbued by music’s power to heal, connect and make people feel seen, Nardiahas captivated audiences at home and abroad over the years, previously supporting the likes of Russell Morris and Tex Perkins, and performing in the VIP lounges for Beyonce and Adele’s Australian tours, delivering soulful and memorable sets. Having also starred in the sold out musical Eulogy for a Genius, a Ray Charles tribute, Nardia also leads her own Etta James and B.B. King show with Jimi Hocking of The Screaming Jetsfame. Alongside her myriad of creative pursuits, Nardia also fronts the Melbourne-based collective Rambal, whose 2016 and 2018 releases Let Love and Live in Newcastle garnered them national attention, with the band also winning Group of the Year at the 2017 Australian Blues Music Awards and scoring a #1 on the Australian Blues Charts in 2017. Most recently, Nardia earned a Top 5 spot at the 2025 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, making her the only female artist to reach the finals among 400 acts; a feat that is definitely only the beginning of some incredible things to come for this talented artist. “It was an absolute honour to be selected as a finalist in the International Blues Challenge (top 5 out of 400 in the band category and was the only female),” Nardia says. “Heading to Memphis was a dream come true! Competing on such a prestigious global stage was a surreal experience, but beyond that, it provided an amazing opportunity to connect with some of the most talented musicians from around the world. As part of this opportunity, I had the privilege of meeting Darin James and Boo Mitchell, who will now be joining me on this exciting new chapter of my music career. This experience has already opened so many doors, and I can’t wait to see where it will take my music. With this new team, I’m working on a contemporary R&B album, but rest assured, my music will always be rooted in the jazz and blues that shaped my sound. Those soulful foundations are at the core of everything I do, and I’m thrilled to continue blending those influences with fresh, modern elements. It’s a thrilling time, and I’m eager to see where this next phase will lead!”

Nardia is set to launch Is It You officially in Melbourne, with a special show locked in on Sunday April 13 at Brunswick Ballroom. And boasting Nardia with a 10-piece band joining her, this is definitely set to be a night to remember, as Nardia elaborates, “My live shows are all about energy, storytelling, and emotion. I love taking the audience on a journey. One moment, you’ll be feeling every lyric deeply, and the next, you’ll be swept up in a powerful, soulful groove. Expect big vocals, a dynamic band, and an experience that leaves you feeling something long after the last note fades. For the single launch the band will feature a 10-piece band which will include the sweet sounds of harmonies from artists Jaydean Miranda and Tyra Lewis and a horn section featuring Charlie Woods and Nathaniel Sametz.”

Locked in to travel to Nashville the day after her single launch show to finalise her new album Own Every Scar, Is It You is the beginning of a beautiful journey for Nardia in 2025; and there’s plenty more magic yet to come.

“Releasing Is it You feels like a powerful new chapter in my journey,” Nardia concludes. “This song is deeply personal, yet universally relatable—it’s about self-reflection, love, and longing. There’s always a mix of excitement and vulnerability when putting something new out into the world, but I can’t wait for people to connect with it in their own way.”

Is It You is out today.

Own Every Scar is due out this July.
