Capaldi’s debut album, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, is the fastest selling UK debut of 2019 with 90,000 albums sold in the first week. To date, it has sold over 1.5 million adjusted albums worldwide and combined global streams now exceed 2.6 billion.

Capaldi was hailed as a 2018 Vevo “DSCVR Artist To Watch” and a 2019 Vevo “LIFT Artist,” longlisted for the BBC Sound Of 2018 Poll and won “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” honors at the Scottish Music Awards. He was nominated for the BRIT Awards Critics’ Choice award and named an MTV UK PUSH Ones To Watch artist.

Fletcher’s debut EP – you ruined new york city for me – is out now on Capitol Records.

The EP also includes follow up singles, “If You’re Gonna Lie” and “All Love.” Fletcher made her late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon with “Undrunk,” which spent several weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.

Fletcher has been performing sold out headline tours of both North America and Europe, with sets at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Life is Beautiful and other prominent festivals already under her belt. The singer-songwriter, who somehow also found time to graduate from NYU’s famed Clive Davis Institute for Recorded Music, has already begun carving out a space for herself in Pop music. PAPER states Fletcher is “one of the most exciting female artists to emerge in Pop,” and it’s clear that she has much more to say.
