Blur's Live At Wembleya collection of songs captured across two unforgettable nights last summer - the biggest shows of the band’s 30+ year career to date - which saw Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree perform to over 150,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, Blur’s first time ever to play the iconic London venue.

Reigning from Atlanta, GA, vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims masterfully blends genres from pop, soul, hip-hop, to R&B. Throughout the last four years, Teddy has spent countless hours honing his craft by writing original music and solidifying who he is as an artist. His remarkable debut album I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) is a transformative record that pushes boundaries, inviting listeners to come along on his personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

Multi-Brit-nominated, double-platinum-selling South London artist Cat Burns cements her position as one of the UK’s most exciting singer/songwriters with the release of her eagerly-anticipated debut album, early twenties. early twenties is a love letter to her community and explores the complexities and emotions surrounding this era of adulthood.

Available on vinyl and CD
