⏩ One Liners: Björk x Rosalía, Beverley Knight, Dylan Schneider + more

DEALS

🤠
Sony Music Publishing Nashville has signed Dylan Schneider to a global publishing deal, in partnership with Kane Brown’s Verse 2 Music. “I’ve respected Kane for so long, so I’m THRILLED to join the Verse 2/SMP family”, he says. “Writing songs for myself and other artists is so rewarding, I can’t believe I get to call this work. I can’t wait to start this new journey with the best team. Thanks for believing in me. Let’s make some magic!”

RELEASES

👽
Björk and Rosalía have teamed up for new Sega Bodega-produced track ‘Oral’. Originally written by Björk in the late 90s, the track aims to shed light on the environmental and ecological effects of open-pen salmon farming in Iceland.
👈🏻
Sleaford Mods have released a cover of Pet Shop Boys’ ‘West End Girls’ in aid of homelessness charity Shelter. The release will include a remix by the Pet Shop Boys themselves, who say: “Sleaford Mods have brought East End boys back to the West End streets for a great cause and we love their new version”.
🔒
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy has released new single ‘Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You’, a song that shares its name with - but does not appear on - his latest album released in August. Also (pretty much) sharing the name is a new beer the musician has launched with the Gan Yam brewery, called Destroy You, Keeping Secrets Will.
🫀
My Life Story have announced that they will release new album ‘Loving You Is Killing Me’ on 9 Feb. Says frontman Jake Shillingford: “’Loving you is killing me’ is a lyric taken from the album’s opening track ‘Running Out Of Heartbeats’. Despite its pessimistic inference, I like to think that it’s more generally about investment in relationships. Is there a price to pay for unconditional love?”
