It’s been 15 years since fans first fell in love with the charming JAMES BLUNT via his blockbuster 2004 debut album Back To Bedlam and the global sensation ‘You’re Beautiful’. With more than 67 million streams in Australia to date and 23 million albums sold worldwide, as well as 5 x Grammy Award nominations, 2 x BRIT Awards and 2 x Ivor Novello Awards, James recently returned with his latest, deeply personal 2019 album, Once Upon A Mind, debuting at Number 5 in Australia on the ARIA chart.

Fans will instantly recognise James in the video for ‘Cold’, filmed in the Welsh countryside, mirroring the iconic music video and a circular nod to ‘You’re Beautiful’. ‘Cold’ reflects where he’s come from – and where he’s now going. “I’m back where I started,” says James of his new material. “Writing songs for me and the people around me. And I’m free again.”

JASON MRAZ’s soulful folk-pop sound has led to seven million album sales, two Grammy Awards and honours at the Songwriters Hall of Fame. His hits include the record-breaking ‘I’m Yours’, ‘I Won’t Give Up’, ‘Love Is Still The Answer’ and ‘The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)’. Currently recording new music for release in 2020, the San Diego singer-songwriter, who is much-loved in Australia, has just released Christmas Valentine, a holiday duet with Ingrid Michaelson, exclusively via Amazon.

OLYMPIA (real name: Olivia Bartley) found fame with her 2016 debut album, Self Talk, which was a finalist in the Australian Music Prize for Album of the Year and led to a nomination for Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards. OLYMPIA released her second album, Flamingo, in 2019, “a life-affirming collection of electro-pop … you get the sense that her career is about to take off” (STACK).
