KIMBRA – “SAVE ME”

KIMBRA ANNOUNCES UPCOMING ALBUM ‘A RECKONING’

RELEASES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “SAVE ME”

Today, two-time Grammy-award winning artist Kimbra announces her upcoming studio album A Reckoning. To coincide with the announcement, she has debuted new single “Save Me” alongside a music video directed by Yvan Fabing.

LISTEN & WATCH “Save Me” HERE

Set for release in 2023, A Reckoning is primed to be a reflective record capturing the macro reckonings that impact our world around environment, race, feminism health and patriarchy through the eyes of the archteypal Mother. But at the heart of her record is the war with the micro reckonings that Kimbra faces internally. It’s the most sonically autonomous and confessionally raw she has ever been, finding influence in everything from modern movie soundtracks to electronic and industrial worlds. The album was first imagined in 2018, during Kimbra’s tour with co-producer Ryan Lott of the band Son Lux, who recently scored A24’s Everything Everywhere All At Once.

On “Save Me,” Kimbra shares a moment of deep yearning set on a bed of unsettling warped pianos. She explores how two internal realities can be present at once : chaos and contemplation, rage and still life-force. Inspired by a singular moment, she searches her insecurities with hopes that someone will save her from herself.

The track is brought to new light in the music video that shows the pop singer in Iceland, traversing dangerous, surreal terrains as she seeks to heal her relationship to self, to other women, and finally to our Mother Earth.

More to come from Kimbra.

About Kimbra:

New Zealand-born pop star and two-time Grammy Award winning tour de force Kimbra is readying her fourth studio album, A Reckoning, produced in tandem with Son Lux’s Ryan Lott.

This is just the latest chapter in a series of Kimbra’s overall career success: the experimental pop performer’s 2011 debut, Vows, bowed at No. 14 on the Billboard Top 200 and was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. She received Best Female Artist two years in a row at the ARIA Music Awards and took home 5 New Zealand Tui Awards including Album of The Year in 2012. That same year, she exploded into the public consciousness with “Somebody That I Used To Know,” a duet with Gotye that earned her two Grammy Awards for “Record of the Year” and “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance,” as well as reaching No. 1 on global charts (across 18 countries) and selling more than 13 million copies.

Her 2014 sophomore record, The Golden Echo, highlighted her eclectic style with a diverse set of collaborations from Thundercat, Omar-Rodriguez Lopez of The Mars Volta, Bilal, and John Legend. Likewise, her third LP, 2018’s Primal Heart, saw her touring with the likes of Beck, Odesza and David Byrne. Kimbra has performed on TV shows such as Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Last Call with Carson Daly, Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Seth Meyers, as well as performing at festivals such as Coachella, Austin City Limits and more.

Moving forward, Kimbra hopes listeners will find catharsis and connection on A Reckoning, whether they are contending with change in their own lives or processing shifts in the world around them.

An In-Depth Look at Decarbonization Definition

The need for decarbonization has never been more critical than it is right now due to the steady increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Let’s start by considering the decarbonization definition at its most basic level in order to comprehend the growing importance of the same.

What is Decarbonization Definition?

Decarbonization definition, also known as decarbonization on the other side of the Atlantic, is the process of lowering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions brought on by human activity. Decarbonization’s present goal is to eventually stop all carbon dioxide emissions. We must drastically change the way we create and use energy, as well as how we operate, in order to achieve deep decarbonization. In reality, switching to clean energy sources and moving away from fossil fuels to electricity are both necessary to achieve zero net emissions.

The Process of Decarbonization

Decarbonization definition entails a decrease in the usage of fossil fuels and an increase in the prevalence of low-carbon electricity generation. This calls for using renewable energy sources, such as biomass, solar electricity, and wind power. Along with “cleaner” technologies, widespread adoption of electric vehicles can also help cut down on the consumption of carbon power. Net zero emission targets can be reached more quickly and in accordance with regulatory requirements if carbon intensity in the power and transportation sectors is reduced.

What Time Does Decarbonization Take Place?

Various nations have started decarbonization definition efforts, and more than 150 governments have submitted plans to cut carbon emissions by 2030. Various countries have committed to outlawing diesel vehicles beginning in 2040, while the government has plans to switch to all-electric and all-electric hybrid London buses and black taxis. Additionally, renewable energy sources are being used increasingly frequently and now account for one-third of the world’s power capacity. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology can be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants; there are now about 20 large-scale CCS facilities operating worldwide, and more are being built.

Process of Decarbonization Definition

One could wonder where to begin after having a basic understanding of what decarbonization definition is. How can one decarbonize? Here is the process or framework of decarbonization.

Know Your Potential

It would be easier for you to set realistic targets and make quick decisions if you were aware of where you are now in the decarbonization process. By generating baseline emissions broken down by source, you may begin the decarbonization definition process. You can employ data solutions, such as software to collect and analyze data, to implement a well-planned decarbonization process. You will find it simple to use the data and distribute it to your stakeholders as a result. To make sure your organization’s willingness to change and your decarbonization definition goals are compatible, it is advisable to keep the stakeholders informed.

Create Your Targets

It’s time to declare your goals after doing some analysis and knowing them. One of the studies found that making the goals public drives businesses to set high standards for themselves and accelerates their performance. So, to give a real-world example, at Schneider Electric, we have publicly stated our goals and without a doubt, this has motivated us to work tirelessly toward achieving them while also creating new standards for the industry. In addition, throughout the years, this strategy has helped us become one of the top sustainable businesses in the world.

Deploy Decarbonization Definition Strategies

To achieve an energy-efficient and decarbonized economy, several decarbonization techniques must be developed for various industries due to the diversity of those businesses. After all, there is no one strategy that works for everyone. With the development of technology, reducing carbon footprints in the majority of industries will require a special mix of infrastructure improvements, data management, digital solutions, etc.

Accelerate Decarbonization Definition

Advances must be made, especially in the more difficult-to-abate sectors, if the objective is to be realized. Long asset lifespans, heavy reliance on energy, and sophisticated electrification are features that these industries have in common. With the support of a sustainable approach, your company can move toward a more sustainable environment.

Here is how to complete the Bet365 registration procedure

No matter if you prefer sports or casino games, one of the first things you must do before you start betting is complete the registration process. Interestingly, you will find a lot of differences between gambling sites because some brands provide more options than others. The good thing is that the procedure to register on Bet365 is simple and relatively fast for a licensed online betting site. Hence, you can start betting in a matter of minutes.

Despite being fast, some users will have difficulties because they do not have any previous experience. Hence, they may not provide accurate information or can miss some of the important things, which means that bet365 won’t allow them to sign up.

We want to help everyone interested in online betting, which is why this article will focus on the registration process and how to complete it. So, here is what to keep in mind.

The registration procedure at bet365 should be the same in every country

One of the first things to keep in mind before using this site is that it is available in many countries. However, unlike other iGaming brands available worldwide, bet365 is licensed and uses permits from multiple authorities. This has an effect on the things it offers, as well as on the registration process.

In other words, you will have to go through the same registration steps, no matter your country. This is a good thing because this guide will help you regardless of your location,.

Start the process

To begin your bet365 signup procedure, open the company’s desktop or mobile site. You can register using both, but most people prefer the desktop site because it seems more convenient.

Once there, you should look for an option located in the top-right corner called Join. Of course, it may have a different name if you use another language option (bet365 has plenty of them). After pressing it, the site will show you the registration steps, which means you have to provide all of the required information.

Things to keep in mind before registering with bet365

Although it is one of the biggest and most sought-after iGaming operators in the business, bet365 has specific conditions that its future bettors must adhere to. Unsurprisingly, the most important one is age-related because only people over 18 years of age are allowed to open accounts and use the operator. Bet365 will make sure you are not lying about your age because it will require you to submit a copy of your ID card or passport.

Depending on where you reside, you may also have to add a secret question and secret answer, as well as a unique code. Bet365 is one of the few places requiring such things because it wants to ensure its clients are safe.

What to do if you have a problem with your account after registering?

Following the steps above, you can create your new account in no time. We won’t go into detail regarding the things you have to provide because it is a step-by-step process. Simply input all of the required data, and your new account will be ready to use within minutes.

That said, people may come across certain problems once they start betting. One of the most common issues is related to passwords and the fact that many people forget them. Fortunately, bet365 allows them to restore it by providing the required information.

The bad news is that some people may have other issues besides forgetting their passwords. That’s the big reason bet365 has one of the best customer services in the world. No matter what problem you have, open one of the available contact options in your country, and the customer support team will help you resolve your issue.

You may have to provide certain information to start using this department. For example, they might ask you to post your unique code or other kinds of things. Make sure you ask them all questions you have because they will be more than happy to assist you.

About Wizkid:

Grammy award winning singer/songwriter Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun (aka Wizkid) began his career in music when he was just 11 years old in Lagos, Nigeria. His first record, Lil Prinz, was recorded in 2001 in collaboration with Glorious Five, a group consisting of Balogun and his friends from church. In 2006, he started pursuing music full-time, at first collaborating with various Nigerian pop acts including OJB Jezreel, Naeto C, and Banky W. By 2011, he was ready to record his debut studio album as a solo artist: Superstar was released via Empire Mates Entertainment to great critical and public acclaim across Africa, propelling him to stardom in his home country. After multiple delays and label disagreements, Balogun released his sophomore album titled Ayo in 2014. This second studio album had a multitude of guest appearances, including a spot from Femi Kuti. It also featured Balogun’s global breakthrough track “Ojuelegba.” Not only did the single cement his status as one of Nigeria’s biggest pop acts, it was also picked up and remixed by Drake and Skepta, thrusting Wizkid into the international spotlight. In return, Wizkid appeared on Drake‘s 2016 smash single “One Dance.”

In March 2017, it was announced that Wizkid had signed a major deal with RCA and Sony International, which released his third LP, Sounds From the Other Side, later that year. A handful of singles appeared in advance of the album, including “Daddy Yo”, “Sweet Love” and “Come Closer”, and were successful; the latter is certified Gold in the USA and the UK .

Following his impressive international campaign, Wizkid refocused energy on his Starboy imprint in Africa. From releasing viral records like “Soco” with his affiliate acts to securing partnerships with brands such as Puma, Wizkid has solidified himself as a millennial pioneer for African entertainment. As an ode to his hometown, Wizkid released his fourth full-length project titled Made in Lagos in 2020 with guest appearances from Burna Boy, Skepta, Damian Marley, H.E.R, Ella Mai, and more. The album is the highest charting Nigerian album on the Billboard 200 of all time, the longest charting Nigerian album of the century on Billboard World Albums chart, and the first and only African album to be RIAA certified Gold in the US with half a million in sale units. Hit single “Essence” became the first Nigerian song to feature on the Billboard Hot 100 and peak #1 on US urban radio. Made in Lagos, along with his Grammy award winning feature with Beyonce and five sellout shows at the o2 Arena, prove Wizkid’s movement to be one of lasting global impact.

FALL 2022 NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT MONTH WITH SOLD OUT SHOWS IN NEW YORK, TORONTO AND SAN FRANCISCO; CHICAGO VENUE UPGRADED DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND

ROAD TO BRIXTON DATES SOLD OUT WITHIN ONE MINUTE

British pop singer-songwriter Maisie Peters has unveiled the official music video for her new track, “Not Another Rockstar”. Shot from the imagined lens of a paparazzi camera, the Avesta Keshtmand-directed video finds Maisie and her rockstar boyfriend trying to avoid the invasion of privacy, but as Maisie tries to hide, her fame-hungry boyfriend has an ulterior motive. Watch the official video HERE.

Written by Maisie, alongside Ines Dunn (Mimi Webb, Griff) and producer Joe Rubel, “Not Another Rockstar” follows a series of recent fan-focused track drops including “Cate’s Brother“, “Blonde“and “Good Enough“, each of which see her explore different stages of relationships with intimate but typically relatable tact. Upon the release of “Not Another Rockstar” earlier this month, the new single garnered praise from Billboard, Uproxx, Entertainment Tonight and more.

Just back from supporting Ed Sheeran’s 54-date European stadium tour, Maisie was recently announced as the opener on select dates of Ed’s North American Stadium tour for summer 2023. Next month, Maisie will return to the states for her “i’m telling the whole of america tour.” The 5-date North American headline run kicks off on November 4^th with a sold-out show at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York and makes stops in Toronto (SOLD OUT), Chicago (VENUE UPGRADED), and San Francisco (SOLD OUT) before wrapping at The Wiltern in Los Angles on November 14^th. After selling out London’s O2 Academy Brixton in under an hour, Maisie recently announced the ‘Road To Brixton’ shows – a 7-date run of intimate gigs across the UK which sold out within just one minute of the general sale last Friday. For tickets and more information on Maisie’s upcoming tours please visit www.maisiepeters.co.uk.

In August Maisie shared sister tracks “Blonde” – a pop-rock banger – and “Good Enough,” Maisie’s most vulnerable ballad to date. V Magazine hailed “Blonde” as “the epitome of a fun breakup anthem,” while Teen Vogue stated the track “fits perfectly into a hot girl summer playlist.” Co-written and produced by GRAMMY Award winner Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Carly Rae Jepsen, Caroline Polacheck), “Good Enough” received praise from Entertainment Tonight, Genius, Atwood Magazine and more.

Earlier this summer Maisie took the stage at CBS’s Late Late Show with James Corden for an electrifying performance of her viral single “Cate’s Brother”. The episode was part of Corden’s special run of shows from London and landed in the midst of a 5 night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium supporting Ed Sheeran’s ‘Tour’. Watch the performance HERE.

Released in May, “Cate’s Brother” arrived to critical acclaim as Billboard praised the track as “fantastic” adding “the storytelling beneath the wiry pop-rock production is top-notch” while People declared Maisie as “pop’s next big thing.” Consequence of Sound described the track as “vibrant, playful and fun” and hailed, “If there was ever any doubt that Peters can oscillate between more delicate, introspective tracks over to crowd-ready bops like this, let ‘Cate’s Brother’ be the end of the conversation.” Based on a true story, Maisie initially teased the track live from a studio session in February and with an overwhelming response from her fanbase, continued working on the song in real time, sharing everything from Cate’s first listen reaction to debut performances.

Before amassing over half a billion global streams, Maisie spent time honing her craft in sessions across London, LA and Nashville, creating songs for her 2021 debut album ‘You Signed Up For This’ alongside the likes of Ed Sheeran, Steve Mac, Fred again.., Johnny McDaid, Miranda Cooper, and producers Joe Rubel (Tom Grennan, Benjamin Francis Leftwich), Afterhrs (Niall Horan, GRACEY), Rob Milton (Easy Life, Holly Humberstone) and Brad Ellis (Jorja Smith, Little Mix). With an innate gift for storytelling, crafting relatable, diary-entry songs, ‘You Signed Up For This’ is both Maisie’s coming of age story and a love letter to girlhood; penned with the wit, charm and quiet confidence that has seen her ascend from busking on the streets of Brighton to signing with Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records and selling out her entire 2022 North American ‘You Signed Up For This‘ tour. Maisie has since ushered in a new era of sound and songwriting with her viral track “Cate’s Brother” and sister singles “Blonde” and “Good Enough,” while continuing work on the follow up to her critically acclaimed debut album.
