For kids, there’s a creative colouring station inspired by Costa Rica’s iconic hand-painted oxcarts.

This has been a record breaking year for Alex whose hit single “Ordinary” topped charts worldwide. “Ordinary” remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks, marking the longest running solo #1 this year.

The song now boasts an impressive 2 billion global on-demand streams across multiple platforms, according to Luminate.

About Alex Warren

Burgeoning pop artist Alex Warren is one of 2025’s breakout stars worldwide. Now boasting over 5.6 billion total career streams and over 53M monthly listeners on Spotify, his hit single “Ordinary,” released in February, is certified 3x Platinum by RIAA and taking over the world. With over 2 billion streams and counting, the song remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks and is the top selling song released in 2025 in the US by total units. It also spent 10 weeks as #1 on the Billboard Global 200 songs chart & Global 200 EX US chart and 13 weeks at #1 on the UK songs chart. “Ordinary” also hit 16 weeks at #1 on US Pop Radio breaking the record for the longest reign ever on that chart. Off the heels of the success of ‘Ordinary,’ Warren released his album You’ll Be Alright, Kid in July. The album features all the songs on You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), released last fall, alongside 10 entirely new tracks. Amongst these new tracks are Warren’s smash hit “Ordinary,” “Bloodline (with Jelly Roll),” and “On My Mind (with ROSE)”. While You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focuses on dealing with grief, You’ll Be Alright, Kid turns the page with healing, resilience, and optimism. After a difficult childhood marked by both of his parents’ untimely deaths and a period of homelessness as a teen living in his car, Alex channeled his pain into his art and through his songwriting. The album debuted top 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and dominated across charts globally appearing #1 in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, and Norway. 

Alex has delivered soul bearing performances, making his award show debut at the 2025 American Music Awards and most recently taking the stage at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. He also made his late-night television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performed with Ed Sheeran in an underplay at Coachella and joined Jelly Roll during Stagecoach. Adding to his accolades, Alex was named Billboard’s January Chartbreaker with his track “Burning Down” with Joe Jonas joining for a reimagined version. The single marked Alex’s first time breaking onto the Billboard Hot 100, has now amassed over 185 million streams, and reached #1 on the global charts in 8 countries. Alex follows his record-breaking success with live shows as he continues his sold out, headlining “Cheaper Than Therapy” Global Tour, hitting 47 cities across Europe and North America. 

In 2024, Warren released You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), which instantly skyrocketed onto charts around the world. The album is further highlighted by Warren’s global success with another standout platinum certified track, “Carry You Home,” which has garnered over half a billion streams worldwide. Known for his vulnerable pop melodies, passionate vocals, and lyrical candor, Warren has won over fans with these deeply personal singles. He was named to People Magazine’s list of “Talented Emerging Artists Making Their Mark”, Sirius XM’s Artist Accelerator Program, named one of 2025’s artists to watch by both Tidal and Amazon Music and named an iHeart Radio “On The Verge” artist. He recently won international breakthrough at the NRJ awards and is currently nominated for most popular international artist for ARIA awards.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb has announced The Hard Way (Deluxe), a newly expanded edition of his long-awaited debut album, The Hard Way, available now via Atlantic Records HERE. The Hard Way (Deluxe) adds five very special bonus tracks, including “End of the Morning,” a previously unheard collaboration with indie folk artist Evan Honer, as well as the brand-new album highlight, “Problem,” joined today by an exclusive Amazon Music Presents live performance streaming HERE. What’s more, in Canada, fans will have exclusive access to a limited edition release of The Hard Way, featuring a signed lithograph – click HERE to purchase now.

Created with producer Jack Riley (Knox, Grace VanderWaal), along with Cal Shapiro (Alex Warren, Timeflies) and Nolan Sipe (Benson Boone, Alex Warren), The Hard Way debuted as #1 Country album in Whitcomb’s home country of Canada, earning Gold certification and quickly surpassing 100 million streams nationwide thanks to such emotionally raw singles as the breakout fan favorite “Quitter,” the brutally self-aware “Hundred Mile High,” the defiant “Options,” the hopeful “Fragile,” the gut-punching title track, and the chart-climbing hit, “Medusa, the latter now joined by a live performance video streaming HERE. A deeply personal look at Whitcomb’s turbulent journey – from early struggles with addiction to his remarkable recovery and personal growth – the album is further anchored by the powerful tribute to his mom, “Call For You,” written as a tribute to his mom.

With over 6M monthly listeners on Spotify, 3M+ followers across social platforms, and 600M+ global streams to date, Whitcomb is riding high in what’s proven to be a landmark 2025 for the Nanaimo, BC-based artist. Whitcomb has recently added a Canadian Gold certification for “Hundred Mile High” to his earlier 2x Platinum certifications for his singles “Medusa” and “Quitter” and his Gold certification for “Options.” Recently named the 2025 recipient of CMA’s Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award, recognizing outstanding achievements by a Country Music artist who is originally based internationally. Whitcomb was among the big winners at the 2025 CCMA Awards, taking home the “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” and “Fans’ Choice” awards amidst six total nominations. Whitcomb also made his Canadian TV debut at the CCMA Awards with an energetic live performance of “Quitter,” streaming HERE.

Whitcomb is celebrating the arrival of The Hard Way with his biggest North American headline run to date. The I’ve Got Options Tour – which has seen sold-out shows from coast-to-coast, including a sold-out two-night stand at Los Angeles, CA’s iconic Troubadour – wraps up tonight at Charleston, SC’s Music Farm. Next year will see the indefatigable Whitcomb continuing his non-stop tour schedule by joining Hardy for his epic THE COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR!, beginning February 5, 2026, at Oshawa, ON’s Tribute Communities Centre and then traveling the US and Canada through June. In addition, May 2026 will see Whitcomb head Down Under for a headline tour of Australia and New Zealand, with almost all dates now sold out and additional shows added in some markets due to overwhelming popular demand. As if all that weren’t enough, Whitcomb is set for a number of top-billed festival performances, including Indio, CA’s Stagecoach Music Festival (April 26) and Bloomington, IL’s Tailgate N’ Tallboys (June 20). For complete details and ticket information, please visit thecamwhitcomb.com.

In a world that often prizes surface-level honesty, Cameron Whitcomb stands out as an artist with the courage to confront uncomfortable truths. After leaving home at age 17 to work on a pipeline, the British Columbia native discovered his passion for singing and devoted himself to music. He broke through with his 2024 debut EP, Quitter – a fearless collection of country/folk songs inspired by his journey through addiction and recovery. Since then, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter has skyrocketed: headlining tours across North America and Europe, landing on 2025 Artist to Watch lists from Spotify and Amazon Music, and now releasing his full-length debut, The Hard Way.

Today, Ice Spice unveils “Big Guy,” an original track featured in Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies’ anticipated animated film The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants, set for release only in theatres on December 19, 2025. The song arrives alongside an official video and the reveal of a limited-edition 7” vinyl collaboration with renowned Japanese graphic artist, Verdy, which features his esteemed panda-rabbit character, Vick.

“Being part of the SpongeBob soundtrack is such a full circle moment for me. It’s crazy to see my music in a movie that’s been part of so many people’s childhoods, including mine,” says Ice. The 4x GRAMMY-nominated artist also lends her voice to one of the characters in the film marking her first-ever voice cameo.

“Big Guy” made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, and across MTV’s global network of channels, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards.

This original song follows “Baddie Baddie”, which was accompanied by a fashion-forward visual that included some of Ice’s standout moments during this year’s Paris Fashion Week. “Baddie Baddie” served as her first solo release since her explosive Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe) album. Ice’s wildly anticipated official debut album Y2K!, was originally released in July 2024 to rave reviews and came stacked with hits including the Sean Paul-sampling “Gimmie A Light” and hater-dismissing “Think U The Shit (Fart),” which notably became her highest solo charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 (#37). The album was also hailed by Pitchfork for featuring “some of her most dynamic and abrasive bars to date,” while also praising the album for sounding “like nothing her peers could make, swerving from one sonic inspiration to the next.”

Having contributed to Barbie The Album with “Barbie World” and making her film debut earlier this year in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky, Ice is further cementing herself as a dynamic voice in entertainment.

ABOUT ICE SPICE

​​With a sugar rush of playful sensuality and unbothered cool, Ice Spice has established herself as the music world’s latest shapeshifting superstar. Since emerging with “Munch (Feelin’ U),” in the fall of 2022, she has reconfigured the raucous energy of the Bronx to make anthems for baddies and their baddie friends—sexy theme songs that ring off in the club or a NY deli, places Ice Spice has no problem turning into her own personal dancefloor. Powered by singles like “In Ha Mood” and “Princess Diana,” as well as the deluxe edition of her Like..? EP, she’s collected more than 2.5 billion streams, multiple top 5 Hot 100 singles, and four GRAMMY® nominations, including nods for Best New Artist, Best Rap Song, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Song Written for Visual Media. More symbolically, she’s become an emblem of the new Big Apple, a fact that isn’t lost on the media.

Writing for The New York Times, Maya Salam listed Ice Spice as the breakout pop artist of 2023, citing her “cool, confident, raw” signature sound. Meanwhile, Variety listed Like..? as her fourth favorite project of last year, praising her “sharpshooter flow” and her all-around versatility on the project. For their part, Billboard named Ice Spice 2023’s Rookie of the Year. It’s all part of a calculated level up at the intersection of planning, distinctive style and unfailing belief. As Rolling Stone put it, “it’s already tough to imagine we ever lived in a world without her.”

Ice Spice’s breakout really began with “Munch (Feelin’ U),” a track that quickly became a playgirl’s dancefloor bat signal. The song earned Ice Spice her first RIAA-certified Gold plaque before amassing nearly 120 million Spotify streams. After initially releasing the song and its follow-up, “Bikini Bottom,” she signed a deal with Capitol Records and 10k Projects. From there, she fortified her buzz with “In Ha Mood” and the Lil Tjay-assisted “Gangsta Boo.” Both tracks landed on her debut EP, Like..?, a critically acclaimed project that crystallized her star status.

The hits have only continued to pile up. In February 2023, Ice Spice appeared on “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2,” a PinkPantheress single that’s equal parts infectious and emotionally vulnerable. That March, it peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Then came the “Princess Diana” remix with her idol Nicki Minaj. All of that was before she guested on Taylor Swift’s 2023 single, “Karma,” which hit No. 2 on the Hot 100. Ice Spice parlayed that popularity surge into 12 performances as Doja Cat’s opening act for The Scarlet Tour. It was her first time performing in arenas, which has set her up for even bigger stages, like Coachella, which she’ll hit in April 2024.

Her musical impact has only made her a ubiquitous cultural force. Last year, she appeared as the star of Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS campaign, with her fly everygirl persona making her a perfect fit for an emerging fashion powerhouse. That summer, she teamed up with Nicki Minaj again for “Barbie World,” a single that belonged to the Barbie soundtrack. A flurry of effervescent pop, the track peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100 chart.
