Just beyond the ordinary lies Wildwood. VVS Films release in theatres everywhere October 23.

WILDWOOD stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Mahershala Ali, Carey Mulligan, Awkwafina, Angela Bassett, and more.

With his sold-out Finding Family On The Road Tour world arena tour underway, GRAMMY-nominated, global chart-topping and record-breaking artist and musician Alex Warren teases his forthcoming album with a brand new single titled “RESCUER,” out today with an official music video directed by Andrew Donoho

“RESCUER” is a tribute to his wife Kouvr Annon. Warren shares, “when I was at my absolute lowest, my now-wife Kouvr saved me. Nothing I have or have done is possible without her. This song is written to her as a way of expressing that.”

Listen to “Rescuer” HERE.

“RESCUER” official music video premiered last night at a special iHeart x TikTok livestream single release event in Los Angeles and comes just weeks ahead of his highly anticipated sophomore album WILDCHILD dropping on August 28 via Atlantic Records. Pre-add/save HERE.

Further showcasing Warren’s songwriting and rich, soulful vocals which have captivated audiences around the world since he first entered the scene in 2021, WILDCHILD spotlights both joyful and equally heart wrenching themes which are both deeply personal to him and universally relatable to listeners. The album explores loss, grief and the journey that follows as he navigates his new life while treasuring the gifts imparted to him.

“Growing up, my dad used to call me Wildchild so it’s always had a special meaning and I even have it tattooed on me,” says Warren. “Creating this album was really healing, therapeutic and a way for me to continue finding out more about myself. This album really shows where I am in my life today and compared to my first album which feels like a man who is broken, this one is a man who’s trying to heal. It’s been really nice to be able to confront those feelings and also be able to share them with the world to give everyone a transparent view into my life.”

“RESCUER” follows Warren’s most recent singles “PASSENGER,” “FINE PLACE TO DIE” and “FEVER DREAM,” following his incredible, record-breaking 2025 album debut YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT, KID, which has garnered the over 9 billion streams to date, 5 iHeart Radio Awards, a 2025 MTV VMA for Best New Artist and Billboard’s Best New Artist of 2025, amongst other impressive accolades.

“RESCUER” is out everywhere now.

About Alex Warren
After years of grinding to be heard, GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum Southern California artist Alex Warren launched himself into the stratosphere with “Ordinary.” The 7x-Platinum single made history. Beyond holding #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200 EX US chart for 10 weeks and #1 on the UK Songs Chart for 13 weeks, it concluded the year as “the top-selling song of 2025.” Moreover, it logged a record-breaking 16 weeks at #1 on US Pop Radio, achieving “the longest reign ever on the chart.” Most importantly, it paved the way for his Platinum-certified full-length debut LP, You’ll Be Alright. It bowed in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 and yielded a procession of Hot 100 hits, including “Eternity,” “Bloodline” [feat. Jelly Roll], “On My Mind” [feat. ROSÉ], and “Burning Down” [with Joe Jonas] driving over 11 billion streams across his catalogue to date. Along the way, he lit up the stages of the American Music Awards, MTV VMA, and GRAMMY® Awards as well as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Beyond unforgettable performances with Ed Sheeran at Coachella and Jelly Roll at Stagecoach, he headlined sold-out arena tours worldwide. Long before the broken records, scores of awards, and earth-shattering success, Alex was affectionately known to his late father as “Wildchild.” He did anything he could to defy gravity. He scaled the tallest trees possible, or he’d vault through the air across the playground. In 2026, there’s still nothing that can keep him on the ground. He’s quietly beaten the odds, penned life-changing songs, and found a place in the hearts of millions worldwide. Now, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum artist tells his story on his aptly titled second full-length offering, WILDCHILD [Atlantic Records]. Musically, it bursts through the clouds with sky-high pop hooks, widens the aperture with cinematic soundscapes, and recharges spirits with the raw energy of a songwriter with nothing to prove and only truth in his heart.

Ravyn Lenae releases her third studio album Blue Island via Atlantic Records. Executive-produced by Bird’s Eye collaborator and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Dahi, Blue Island is an immersive world shaped by poise, playfulness, and the confidence of an artist who knows this is only the beginning.

Blue Island represents a threshold that Ravyn has inhabited both mentally and physically over the past year. Following the success of her hit single “Love Me Not,” which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 10 on the Billboard Global 200, No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, and charted in Canada, Australia, and more, the world was finally catching up. While this newfound success meant a host of new opportunities that she had always dreamed of, it also meant bouts of joy, anxiety, loneliness, and even heartbreak. Paired with ill-informed questions about her Blackness and reignited conversations about whether she belonged in certain music spaces, she looked to her musical influences such as Santigold, Janet Jackson, and Tracy Chapman, whose masterful catalogs reaffirmed to her that Black women artists can express their artistry through different genres and thrive doing so.

She uses Blue Island to explore the full scope of her identity: the quirks, flirty energy, “teenage angst” that often bleeds well into years outside its allotted window, as well as the quiet, lonely, “off-beat” moments that happen when you are in the midst of a transformation.

Sonically, the record widens Ravyn’s world. Armed with contributions from industry heavyweights like Justin Tranter (Chappell Roan, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber), Diana Gordon (Beyoncé, Mark Ronson, Lil Yachty), and Andrew Aged (Lorde, Mk.gee, Blood Orange), and a dazzling feature from friend and past collaborator Doechii on “Babygirl,” Ravyn expands on her classic sound while also incorporating the

sounds of her listening diet, such as Blondie, The Sundays, The Cranberries, Martin Rev, and even the dramatic chorus structures and high vocal tones of Bollywood soundtracks.

Speaking on the album, she shared, “‘Blue Island’ is a point of arrival, and feeling set in my ways and in who I am, and feeling free of any of those preconceived notions about Blackness or what I had to be in the past. So I think now it’s fun to challenge the idea of what R&B is supposed to sound like, what pop is supposed to sound like… and really say ‘fuck all of that’ and do my own thing.”

The album includes her previously released singles “Saturday Night,” “Reputation” featuring Dominic Fike, “Bobby,” and “Handle,” the last of which ushered in this new era and arrived alongside a stunning new music video that saw Ravyn incorporating choreography into her artistry for the first time. With live shows in mind, she joined forces with New York-based movement director Akira Uchida to remind listeners how a song can remain personal while also reaching the back row, and how intimacy can still feel expansive. Their collaboration was best illustrated this past June, with her debut performances at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Governor’s Ball in New York City just 48 hours later. The latter earned praise from Billboard, which described her choreography as “landing somewhere between Fosse and David Winters.”

She’ll be heading on the road again this month to perform on a string of European and UK festivals before launching her 22-date headline North American tour this fall, with support from Lexa Gates, Nourished By Time, and Q on select dates. Tickets are available for purchase via https://www.ravynlenae.com/tour.

Chicago-born singer-songwriter Stella Lefty announced her debut album, Long Way Home, out August 21 via Atlantic Outpost, during her Lollapalooza set, a full-circle moment as she commanded a fully packed crowd of over 12 thousand fans during the festival she grew up going to since she was 15 years old.

Amplifying the moment, Stella also shared the announcement to socials HERE.

To celebrate the announcement, Stella also shares that buzzing single “Lean In, Kiss Me” out today – listen HERE

Stella made her Canadian festival debut last week at Montreal’s Osheaga, and was one of the most buzzed about acts of the day. Prior to Osheaga, Stella stopped in Toronto for a secret show at Rock ‘N’ Horse Saloon for Billboard Canada’s inaugural Chart Breaker series. We were there! Some highlights here.

On top of this, Warner Music Canada surprised Stella with her first Platinum Plaque for “Boston.” The single continues to rise in Canada hitting #3 on Billboard Canada charts this week, remains within the Top 10 on the Spotify daily charts and climbs its way up the Canadian Radio charts sitting at #10 on country radio and growing quickly on multiple formats. Stella will return to Canada in the fall with a sold-out show at Toronto’s Opera House.

Off the back of a career-defining year, with 370M+ streams, 1B+ views, a sold-out headline tour, and a CMA Fest takeover following her EP Is This Heaven?, hit single “Boston” continues to overtake the charts in the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100.

Continuing the momentum, Long Way Home rolls out with pop-up events in major U.S. markets before her November headline tour. See full routing below.

ABOUT STELLA LEFTY

Stella Lefty is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter carving out a name with her emotionally sharp songwriting and a sound that seamlessly blends pop sensibility with country storytelling. Her breakout single “Thinking ‘bout You” sparked major online traction, earning millions of streams and set the stage for follow up “Boston” that has since charted the top 3 on The Billboard Top 100, #4 on Billboard Hot Country Songs, and amassed over 250 million streams.

Meanwhile, with her magnetic live presence and songs that balance raw vulnerability with undeniable hooks, she’s quickly built momentum as an artist to see live too, supporting the likes of Alessi Rose, Jessie Murph, Cameron Whitcomb and Wyatt Flores. Not to mention, she also took the main stage with her own global headline dates, as well as festival debuts including Lollapalooza, BST Fest, and Osheaga.
