KING BORNEO EP ARRIVES DECEMBER 8, 2023 King Borneo – the Stockholm-based brainchild of Gustav Jennefors – are excited to announce their self-titled debut EP, which is heralded by the release of new single “People Eyewear” – stream it now at all DSPs. The track is accompanied by a tongue-in-cheek (yet somehow all too appropriate) music video, a fitting accompaniment to the track’s winding riffs and languid grooves. “I’ve had a period of feeling really low, having a harder time sleeping and basically spiraling down,” Jennefors says. “‘People Eyewear’ is just a documentation of my thoughts during that period and my way of handling it. When you’ve been viewed as an easy going and content person it can be hard to let go of that image. These days I don't really see the perks of having people thinking you’re happy and successful in life, other than your family and close ones, and then only if you really are.” To celebrate the release of their debut EP, King Borneo will perform at Riche Lilla Baren in Stockholm on Thursday, December 7. For more information, go to facebook.com/kingborneomusic. ### KING BORNEO LIVE DECEMBER 7 - Riche Lilla Baren - Stockholm, SE Stockholm-based Gustav Jennefors is the mastermind behind the project King Borneo. Gustav who is also a part of the Lo-fi pop duo Morabeza Tobacco, has a past in the psychedelic rock scene but has now turned his attention to a more folk-poppy universe. The music combines melodic seventies folk and psych-pop with guest appearances from wild fuzz guitars. With each song representing a part of his life, Gustav has created his own micro-universe on his ep with themes such as Breakup, death, cougars, depression and decadence. Gustav finds inspiration in bands such as White Fence, R. Stevie Moore and Lou Reed. CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za International/.

“Late Night Thoughts” Is The Title Track From Shy’s Debut Album Out May 19 – Presave “The Swedish singer-songwriter encapsulates a state of malaise through soft, strumming guitar that pairs well with her dreamy, forlorn vocals.” “She wraps these heart-wrenching lyrics into massive pop songs.” “Shy’s melody provides listeners with the space to process their feelings in a time frame that feels right to them; reassuring them that loss is a completely normal part of the universal human experience.” Rising Swedish pop act shy martin has today revealed the brand-new animated video for her new single “late night thoughts.” The video was created as a collaboration between shy, her brother Hampus Hjellstrom and Italian animator Pietro (@supreme4stupid) – Watch. Speaking about the making of the new video, shy says, “Me and my brother Hampus created the initial idea for the video over a phone call in April last year while I was in LA working. After I got home, we bought an iPad, learned Procreate and spent a few days drawing the whole storyboard. It took months finding the right person to make it come to life but I’m so happy we kept looking to finally stumble across Pietro, a young animator from Italy. It’s been such an amazing time creating this one together! The video is weaving together the upcoming album ‘late night thoughts’ - connecting previous releases and teasing what’s to come.” “late night thoughts” has seen a great initial reaction from press with Clash calling the track “exceptionally exciting” and Beats Per Minute saying shy “has all the ingredients needed to be an international mega-star”, at radio with consistent support from BBC Radio 1 and with editorial playlists on Spotify, including Fresh & Chill and Indie Pop. shy’s debut album late night thoughts is her boldest, most openly emotional, brave and beautiful work to date.

“He continues to hone his craft as a rising star” – Earmilk “An unmatched example of the way in which emerging artists are transcending the boundaries of genres to provide us with energizing and eclectic tunes, earworming in nature.” – Wonderland “His energetic, creative pop stylings have lent him plenty of fans, and he’s set to keep building on that well-earned reputation.” – Notion Rising Swedish pop artist Graham Lake pushes the envelope as he explores the outer reaches of pop, fashioning an unpredictable and undeniable signature style underscored by guitar-driven production, dancefloor-ready beats, and downright unshakable vocals. He continues to hone his craft as an emerging artist-to-watch with his third ever release, ‘Out of Love’, arriving on May 20th. With the audio and visual for the upcoming track, Graham channels a new side of himself that listeners haven’t previously met through ‘Focus’ and ‘Run em Down’. Graham Lake tells us about the single: “Out of love is the first song where I show more of my melodic side. This song has multiple meanings, it’s a homage to the people that once were a big part of your life but who faded with time. This song was my way of processing the beauty of how temporary things are around you. The feeling of something closing in to an end, a bittersweet feeling. The meaning "Out of love" can be read in multiple ways. I’ma leave you to figure out the rest, wouldn’t be fun if i revealed everything quite yet.” The Stockholm-born singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist hit the scene in style last October with his energetic debut single “Focus”. The track quickly acquired international notice across radio and online, including top-tier radio stations such as NRJ, Europa Plus, Like FM, and 5FM. Graham Lake subsequently dropped his next single in March, ‘Run em Down’, featuring UK rapper Avelino. The release of ‘Out of Love’ arrives on May 20th, and more singles are set to release throughout 2022/2023 via EMI Sweden; …

NAVOS and Galantis have linked up on new single ‘What It Feels Like’, featuring YOU, out now. Tapping into an undeniably anthemic dance-pop sound, ‘What It Feels Like’ combines euphoric piano chords and a pulsating bassline with YOU’s rousing vocals. Not the first time NAVOS and Galantis have collaborated, it follows NAVOS’ remix of the Galantis and Years & Years single ‘Sweet Talker’, released earlier this year. Prior to that was NAVOS’ acclaimed single ‘You & I’, a track that has amassed 7 million Spotify streams and a slew of remixes. It followed the silver-certified ‘Believe Me’, a track that has surpassed 96 million global Spotify streams after becoming a viral sensation on TikTok. A permanent fixture on the UK ‘Top 40’ for over 20 weeks, the track also received airplay from BBC Radio 1, Capital FM and Kiss FM. Navos explains “I first made “What It Feels Like” in March 2021 in my home studio. It started off as just an instrumental of the pianos and bassline that you hear in it today and was originally saved as “Abyss” as I didn’t know what to call it.. I sent it across to Josh and Bully (AKA YOU) who then wrote the Topline on it. The lyrics to the track are about someone who is deeply in love with someone but that person is in love with someone else, and all they want is to feel what it’s like to be loved by them, as seen in the lyrics “tell me what it feels like to be loved by you”. We all loved the track and thought it would be the perfect track to send to Galantis to add some magic to it. So excited for the world to hear this one” Ross Harrington, better known as NAVOS, has spent the last few years honing his craft as a tech-house artist. Drawing inspiration from Sonny Fodera and MK, the self-taught 21-year-old caught the attention of Island Records with early singles ‘Foolin Me’ and ‘Outta Love’, with the label then signing him to release ‘Believe Me’. Galantis is a Swedish electronic dance music production, songwriting and DJ duo …
