Jessie Ware Shares 'Selfish Love'

Jessie Ware shares 'Selfish Love', the follow-up to her incredible returning single 'Midnight'. The track premiered last night as Zane Lowe's World Record on Beats 1 and is accompanied by a video directed by Tom Beard. 'Selfish Love' is available to buy and stream via PMR/Island Records.

"'Selfish Love' is a track that reminds me why I enjoy singing so much. Even though it's coming at the end of the summer, I hope you play it in the heat" said Jessie. The 'Selfish Love' video, shot in Mallorca and directed by Tom Beard, is the prequel to 'Midnight'. Together, the videos tell the story of a couple broken apart in a classic film noir tragedy. 'Selfish Love' is the second track to be taken from Jessie's forthcoming third album due for release later this year.

Chosen as Pitchfork's 'Best New Track' and described by the Sunday Times as "breathtaking", Jessie's returning single 'Midnight' dropped a month ago to overwhelming acclaim. Jessie's upcoming residency at Islington Assembly Hall sold out in minutes after adding two extra dates due to demand. She performs on the September 4, 5, 7 and 8.

Fangclub Reveal New Video For ‘Better To Forget’

Raw, direct, powerful, alt-rock, written with no frills and played with pure passion - the kind of energy that can only come from three old friends with sheer determination and “no plan B”. Meet Fangclub - a Dublin-based trio who formed in the neighbouring, remote coastal town of Rush when they were teenagers. Between dropping out of college for those early jam sessions and now, they’ve signed with major Universal imprint Vertigo Records, released two acclaimed EPs (Bullethead and Coma Happy), toured with the likes of Twin Atlantic and won over a dedicated legion of fans. 

Formed of singer and guitarist Steven King, drummer Dara Coleman and bassist Kevin Keane, Fangclub have been lauded by Kerrang! for their “explosively catchy tunes”, while Punktastic have deemed them “destined for mainstream success”. With their self-titled debut album released in August and a packed summer of touring, this is one club that’s only going to grow and grow in strength and numbers.

“I had watched this documentary about tribes, and there was this one that would tattoo themselves with fang symbols,” says King says of the origin of their name. “That idea just really lent itself to what we were trying to do. I was in a cafe and drew it out with the fang logo on a napkin, now it’s plastered all over Dublin. There are guys who have it tattooed on them. It feels like we have our own very tribe now.

“Back in school, we were the only punk-rockers in town - so we kind of gravitated towards each other,” says Steven. Originally united by extreme hairstyles and their love of The Offspring and NOFX, now their self-titled debut album sees them step out of their own ‘little bubble’ and onto the world stage. No gimmicks, just rock.
