THE BIGGEST STARS in the music industry have joined forces on the latest Rhythms Del Mundo album, ‘Classics’ produced to raise awareness and funds for climate crisis projects and natural disaster relief. The album is released on Universal Music on July 13, 2009. The sublime talent of Cuba’s finest musicians together with the unmistakable vocals of artists including Amy Winehouse, The Killers, Jack Johnson, The Rolling Stones, Kaiser Chiefs, Fall Out Boy, and many others, results in a unique album merging Afro-Cuban rhythms with some of the most memorable songs of the last 40 years. With brand new recordings from The Killers, Editors, KT Tunstall, The Zutons and OneRepublic, through to special recordings from contributing artists such as Amy Winehouse and Jack Johnson, this long player is set to be the soundtrack to the summer! Rhythms Del Mundo – Classics is the latest project from UK climate change charity, Artists Project Earth (APE) which was formed in 2005 following the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. This album follows in the footsteps of their first release Rhythms Del Mundo – Cuba! (ft. Coldplay, U2, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys and others) which went platinum and gold in many countries across the globe and was met with much critical acclaim; ‘….an album made with such integrity and passion that turns out as entertaining as this, is hard to resist.’ – The Independent. As a result more than 175 groundbreaking projects have been funded globally, all of which are developing solutions to climate change, thanks to support from APE and the Rhythms Del Mundo albums. To celebrate the launch of Rhythms Del Mundo – Classics, APE will make an award of $100,000 to the project judged most likely to make a significant impact on climate change. Previous projects include the natural rebuilding of coral reefs, and reforestation in Brazil and Africa. Kenny Young, RDM’s producer and founder of APE says: ‘These great artists have given up their time to be part of an album that will raise awareness and funds for the most crucial crisis facing us today. Climate change is our greatest global challenge – so join us and act now to do something positive for our future.’

Cavalier are a British rock band comprising vocalist/guitarist Tom Harries, his brother James on the keys, Guy Prall on lead guitar, Rick Brearley on bass guitar and Mark Stormont on the drums. The band was formed by four of the members who met at Durham University. Brothers Tom and James approached Rick and Mark having watched them perform in a club. By the end of the first practice session there was obvious chemistry, and the guys made an effort to get together as much as possible. Once Guy, a friend of Toms, was added to the band Cavalier was complete. The band quickly made a name for themselves around the City with their first major event being a charity festival in Exeter in 2008. The band recorded their first E.P. late 2008.

Cavalier works because of an organic and decisive approach to songwriting blended with the musicianship of people from very different disciplines – rock, funk, jazz, classical and blues. This results in powerful, beautiful and inspirational songs. Think infectious melodies, soaring guitar riffs, tinkling pianos and an outstanding rhythm section.

They draw influences from a wide-range including Coldplay, Counting Crows, Matchbox Twenty, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead, The Fray, Jason Mraz, Dire Straits, Train, Rascal Flatts, Goo Goo Dolls, Ryan Adams, Ben Folds Five, Eric Clapton, The Eagles, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Pete Yorn, U2, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Even though “Small Town” may be in our name, Small Town Boyz has a HUGE rock sound in every song that we play. No screaming music here, just great (original) rock ‘n roll with a new perceptive twist. Some of our songs include: Ten Thousand Cities, Watchtower, Dreamin’ On, Flatline, So Long, Hot Jungle Fever, These are the Best of Days, and a list that just keeps growing. When Small Town Boyz kicked off the 2008 River City Music Festival, the crowd went wild and we followed up with an amazing performance. We’ve rocked in Memphis at the Charles Brakeman Building (on the same stage as Elvis Presley) and throughout the Midwest. When the newscrew from KFVS-12 asked us to comment on our latest successes, we had to thank David Ross and the management & staff of the Show Me Center, as well as the Student Activities Council at Southeast Missouri State University. Our community has been very supportive of our band - they’re always there for us. http://www.smalltownboyz.com
Influences: The Fray, ColdPlay, Puddle of Mud, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Hagar

In much the same way that José González is from Sweden and not Spain, Paolo Nutini is not a smooth Italian pop star, but a soul-influenced adult alternative singer and songwriter from the exceedingly not continental town of Paisley, Scotland. Raised in a music-loving family, with influences ranging from folk to opera to the jazz and R&B favorites of his father, and discovering homegrown folkies like John Martyn in his teens, Nutini left school in his mid-teens to focus on developing his own musical chops. Moving from Paisley to London at age 16, he garnered enough attention in local showcase clubs to be signed to the British arm of Atlantic Records just after he turned 18. Working with Coldplay and Badly Drawn Boy producer Ken Nelson, Nutini was the recipient of an impressive amount of label buzz even before his first single, “Last Request,” was released in the early summer of 2006. Nutini appeared at special Atlantic Records showcases at Carnegie Hall and the Montreaux Jazz Festival, as well as showcase sets opening for the Rolling Stones and Paul Weller. Nutini’s debut album, These Streets, was released in July 2006 in the U.K. (it wasn’t until January of the following year that it made it into the U.S.) alongside its second single, “Jenny Don’t Be Hasty.”

Paolo Nutini returns with a 12-date UK tour this May to coincide with the release of his impressive new album ‘Sunny Side Up’ (June 1st), written by Paolo Nutini and produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ryan Adams) and Paolo.

Preceding this is the release of the first single from the album ‘Candy’.

Coldplay have decided to take a break because they fear people are getting bored of them. The group have postponed plans to begin work on the follow-up to ‘Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends’ to figure out which direction to take their music in next. Guitarist Johnny Buckland revealed: “We ended up doing much more touring than we originally planned so there’s no time to do proper justice to a new project. And anyway people may need a bit of a break from us. “We’re taking a little break and let’s see where we get after that. We’ve got a lot of ideas but we want to find a new way to go and that may take some time.” Johnny also spoke out about the military-style uniforms the group have donned to promote the album and accompanying tour, and claims the band - singer Chris Martin, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion - hand-stitched each one. He added to Time Out Dubai magazine: “Guy came up with the direction. Then we all got together in our studio to work on the outfits. We had someone who helped us make the jackets and trousers. We made them ourselves. We really wanted this whole album to be homemade again, we wanted to take it back and have it all come from us.”
