New Track: Sweet Little Lies – Bülow

Critically acclaimed German born pop iconoclast BÜLOW has released a brand new single called ‘Sweet Little Lies’, available on all download and streaming sites.

On the meaning behind the song the 19-year-old remarked, “’Sweet Little Lies’ is about creating false realities. When things get real, we find escapes. Sometimes it’s hobbies, and sometimes it’s people. But the degree of it we can’t always control.”

The latest single arrives just after the news that BÜLOW has received four nominations for the 2019 JUNO Awards, including Pop Album of the Year and Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Ahead of performing at the 2019 JUNO Awards on March 17th, BÜLOW will perform at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

The eagerly awaited new single follows the previously released ‘Damaged Vol. 1’ & ‘Damaged Vol. 2’, each instantly resonated with critics and new fans alike. ‘Damaged Vol. 1’ included ‘Not A Love Song’ which to date has clocked over 83 million streams.

‘Damaged Vol. 2’ included singles ‘You & Jennifer,’ ‘Honor Roll’, and buzzworthy ‘SAD AND BORED’,  praised by PAPER as, “the perfect pop study in contrasts, and further confirms bülow as an artist to watch with razor-sharp wit to boot.” HillyDilly called her “one of the brightest new talents in pop.” Last year also saw BÜLOW released much buzzed about ‘Two Punks In Love’.

Although BÜLOW has only just begun her musical journey with these recent releases, the music already stands tall as an impressive flag-bearer for things to come….

Putting in the work on the underground circuit, BILLIONS CFL is the latest rapper to hit the radar with tens of thousands of Instagram followers, hundreds of thousands of streams and hundreds of thousands of YouTube views in tow.

Establishing an impressive following through his luxurious rap and videos, singles such as ‘Make it Home’ have racked up over ¼ million views on Link Up TV, whilst his ‘10 Toes’ freestyle has almost 200k views on GRM Daily. Now teaming up with super-producer Ayo Beatz for a second time, he drops the latest from his arsenal in the form of ‘Motive’.

Barring it out over an afro-trap beat, the bouncy number takes its trap influence from Billions American counterparts and dips the lyricism in London lingo. Continuing to document his exuberant lifestyle, the video is splashed with designer clothes, popping bottles and a line of ladies as BILLIONS and Ayo Beatz work out their latest ‘Motive’.
