Gabrielle Aplin has released a multilingual lyric video for her new single ‘Like You Say You Do’, taken from her forthcoming third album Dear Happy out January 17 via AWAL and her own label Never Fade Records.

‘Like You Say You Do’ features an irresistible, funk-inspired chorus and is a dreamy pop song inspired by the misleading realities of social media.  The lyrics in the video are displayed in Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese, Spanish, French and English; languages determined after being put to a public vote to the wide-reaching fanbase of the international star.

The new album is an uplifting pop record that chronicles Gabrielle’s life, and the experiences and cultures she has been inspired by whilst touring and travelling the world over the past couple of years. The album also features the previously released songs ‘Losing Me’, ‘Kintsugi’, ‘Nothing Really Matters’ and ‘My Mistake’.

The record is being released through a major new partnership between AWAL and Gabrielle’s Never Fade Records, a label that sees her develop and support both new and established acts. The breadth and diversity of the Never Fade roster will be displayed at the annual Never Fade Christmas Party, this year taking place on December 19 at Union Chapel.

The show features a selection of her label’s roster alongside special guest friends and collaborators of Never Fade. Gabrielle Aplin, Danny O’Reilly (The Coronas), Martin Luke Brown, Hannah Grace, Saint Raymond, Sonny, Lewis Watson and Nick Wilson are all set to perform, with more special guests still to be announced.

Following its premiere as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record in the World on her Radio 1 show, Sports Team share the official video for their anthemic new single ‘The Races’. The video stars Alex Arnold (Poldark, Skins) and sees Sports Team take a back seat as wedding band while drama unfolds around them. It was shot over a day at Charlton House in south London and directed by Lily Rose Thomas.

Frontman Alex Rice says. "Label shills employed specifically to be yes-men couldn’t muster a compliment for this one. Only managed 'that really is unlike anything I’ve seen any other band doing, you should be commended for that'. Had a nice day introducing our parents to a former Skins actors though.”

Recorded at Livingston Studios in London and produced by longtime collaborator Burke Reid (Courtney Barnett, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever), ‘The Races’ is built on a driving bassline, with their trademark swagger in full focus. Lyrically it continues to play with Middle English characters recognisable from the band’s back catalogue, this time delving into dodgy politics and misguided patriotism.
