UP SWIFT Country-pop twins Ward Thomas’ new album Restless Minds is about
growing up while keeping sharp like Taylor Swift
Extract: Ward Thomas’ Restless Minds has a poppier approach than
Cartwheels and Catherine says: “We developed our taste and style. We listen to
more pop music now. Modern country music has grown more pop-like. “We listen to
a lot of Maren Morris and Kacey Musgraves. They are the two leading country
girls out there who mix country with pop.” Read more See The Sun

Its consumption down for the first time – falling
12.89% to 82,569 units, including 70,209 from sales-equivalent streams (12,360
pure sales) – In My Feelings was No.1 for the third straight week for Drake. Providing his 13th week at No.1
this year, and his 29th in all, it easily triumphs in an unchanged top three,
where former chart-topper Shotgun by George Ezra is runner-up for the fourth
time in a row (72,744 sales), while Jonas Blue’s Rise (feat. Jack & Jack) held
steady at No.3 on sales of 43,229, after climbing for eight weeks in a row.

03 August 2018 - 09 August 2018
The Mamma Mia! phenomenon continues to grow, with the
new Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again soundtrack continuing at No.1 with sales on the
rise as it spins off three Top 75 singles.
The album sees a 17.45% increase in sales week-on-week
to 40,708 (including 8,020 from sales-equivalent streams + 32,688 pure sales)
as it strengthened its lead over the Motion Picture Cast Recording of The
Greatest Showman (2-2, 25,935 sales) at the top of the album chart. Its 2008
predecessor – the original Mamma Mia! soundtrack album – also enjoyed a 4.67%
hike in sales to 10,015 as it holds at No.5.
13 LUCKY FOR SOME: Northern Irish country singer Catherine
McGrath scored her UK chart debut
at No.13 with first album TALK OF THIS TOWN (3,839 sales).
Country singer/songwriter Catherine McGrath from
County Down in Northern Ireland got major airplay support from BBC Radio 2 for
her single Lost In The Middle. Aptly McGrath has commented on the
numerous, positive comparisons her work so far has drawn with early Taylor Swift material.
“I actually really love being compared to her because
that’s the reason I got into country music,” said McGrath. “It’s interesting to
see how she’s developed, but I really love her older sound. I couldn’t see
myself doing anything as poppy as Taylor Swift is now, but we’ll see what
happens… I actually met her after her show in Dublin but didn’t really say
much, I was very star-struck!”
As far as we know Catherine's is the 5th best selling debut by a UK Country
artist.
Of Note: Taylor Swift's UK debut sold only 38 copies
the week of its release date, peaking 94 weeks later at #81(12/09/2009) and has
spent 3 weeks on the Official UK Album Chart.

Northern Irish band The Rising blend fresh-faced
pop/rock with Modern Country stylings fresh from Nashville. The band's style is
informed by a wide number of influences. Refusing to be defined by one genre
they firmly believe that music is music regardless of what genre tags it
happens to have. Taking influence from contemporary Pop, Rock as wells the
updated Country Sounds of artists such as Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Keith
Urban, Kelsea Ballerini and many others. The band have toured constantly since
its formation including the chance to perform at the Country 2 Country festival
in London’s O2 two years in a row, firstly, in 2015 and again in 2016. Constant
touring around the UK and Ireland has helped the band build their fan-base with
every show. Shows have included their own shows (the most recent being a
headline tour in March/April 2017), festivals and also touring alongside the
likes of Jess & The Bandits, The Shires, Ward Thomas and many other top
acts.

Debut Aug 3: #11 US Country iTunes Album Charts
(# US iTunes all-genre)
She has wowed audiences since the age of 10 and plays several instruments (guitar, piano, and classical violin).
At 20, Jessica won the statewide artist showcase, Stars of Alabama. A spot on Season 3 of NBC’s The Voice followed, where she made it to the blind auditions, along with being part of Vans Warped Tour. In 2014, Jessica was selected by American Idol’s judges, Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, and Harry Connick, Jr., for Season 13 of the TV series where she ended up a Top 4 National Finalist.
Jessica Meuse - Thank God It Didn't Work (>> Official Lyric Video)
Penned by Meuse, her 15-song “Halfhearted” album is a
retrospect of her life, loves, and breakups, which is aptly being released to
coincide with National Girlfriend Day.
Meuse gained national attention as an American Idol Top 4 and became the
first person in the history of the hit TV series to perform her own composition
in the show’s finals.
“There is so much great quality and strength in her
voice.” - Jennifer Lopez
“Jess comes to bring it. She is great!” - Harry Connick Jr.
Meuse’s debut full-length album features 15 songs she
penned, including “Without You,” a duet with fellow American Idol alumni Bo
Bice. “I wrote most of these songs after Idol, and they are a direct reflection
of everything I have gone through emotionally and mentally in the time that’s
followed,” says Meuse.
Her single, "Thank God It Didn't Work," is
being serviced to country outlets around the country.
"One of the songs I’ve been focusing on is ‘Thank
God It Didn’t Work” which is my very first co-write (with Kelly Walls and David
Norris of Nashville, TN),” said Jessica.
"It’s a big powerhouse song, both vocally and lyrically, about
everything in life that didn’t work out and it actually ended up being a good
thing.

Jim Lauderdale's 31st album, Time Flies, is a return
to what he does best: classic country infused with striking notes of Americana
and soul. As a two-time Grammy winner and multi-genre dabbler, Lauderdale is
able to carve out space for himself in music worlds both familiar and foreign,
and after a creative legacy spanning nearly three decades, it's no surprise
that his ability to rejuvenate his sound is indomitable. Time Flies was
recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN, and produced by Jim Lauderdale
and Jay Weaver. Special guests include Charles Odie Blackmon, Mando Saenz, and
Pete Bernhard (The Devil Makes Three).
The Road Is a River references his environmental
concerns and also proves Lauderdale’s ability to craft and perform a great
song. (4 Stars Irish Times)

(3 Aug 2018) Charissa "Feel Good Song"
Charissa is a singer/songwriter from Burlington, Ontario.
As a young child, she began singing along to Disney songs and later, began
curiously strumming on a guitar and learning basic chords in order to accompany
herself. She enrolled in vocal and guitar lessons and began to play
acoustically at a local coffee house, helping her gain valuable performance
experience in front of an audience.
In the summer of 2009, she entered the CNE Rising Star
Talent Competition as a timid 12 year old. But, it didn't take long for her to
impress the judges in each of the preliminary rounds. The maturity and
conviction in her voice along with her guitar skills, secured her a spot in the
finals and was ultimately crowned junior and grand champions of the
competition. A feat that no one had ever accomplished at such a young age.
With titles in hand, she embarked on her musical
journey, gaining local recognition and awards along the way. She has spent the last 8 years performing on
many stages and in many venues, from small backyard get-togethers to large
outdoor stages and a little bit of everything in between, and always making
time to support local charities.
Often described as an old soul, her powerful vocals
command your attention every time she steps up to a microphone. The warm
distinctive tone in her voice, combined with her gentle natural vibrato creates
a unique and inspiring sound. Her love and passion in performing is evident
every time she gets in front of an audience, delivering dynamic and emotional
performances impressing audiences of all ages.
Notable appearances include performances at the award
winning Sound of Music Festival, City of Burlington Canada Day Festivities,
CHCH TV Live Music Fridays, and Nashville's legendary Blue Bird Cafe. She is
currently writing and recording for her first solo project, a unique country blend,
revealing musical influences spanning across genres.

(3 August 2018) – Country duo, Indigo Summer, has released their next single “For Days,” which is now available through all streaming platforms, including Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and more. The song illustrates the story of two individuals who meet for the first time and eventually fall in love. The duo, comprised of Bryan Edwards and Hope Nix sing about the early stages of falling for someone and how those feelings develop into wanting to spend every minute with that person. Listen to “For Days” here.
“When Hope and I originally sat down earlier this year
to write “For Days” we loved the idea and had a vision for what we wanted it to
be. This song comes from a really honest place for both of us.
We love remembering when we first started to fall for our significant others. We want to write songs that we believe in and that we feel our fans will connect with and I think “For Days” is one that they’ll fall in love with and keep on repeat!” says Edwards.
The single was co-written by Bryan Edwards, Hope Nix, and David Thulin, who also produced the track. “When I met David Thulin and heard his previous projects, I knew that he was the right person to produce this song,” Says Edwards. The single was recorded at Three Studios in Spring Hill, TN. Nix added, “David definitely helped us push our vocals to unfamiliar territory. He encouraged me to sing some crazy high notes and I ended up surprising myself!”
