Four girls of four different backgrounds from four distant places came together in Los Angeles, seized upon the fearless sexiness, unapologetic attitude, and fierce fire of Y2K, and sowed the seeds for revolutionary pop of their own. Based in the creative capital of the country, GIRLSET—Camila, Kendall, Lexi, and Savanna—rallies the spirits and styles of four larger-than-life personalities around a shared vision. Vietnamese-American Kendall grew up in Fort Worth, TX where she honed her voice as a kid and excelled in ballet and lyrical dance. Born and raised in South Florida, Venezuelan-Trinidadian Savanna went from watching her dad play drums to singing and dancing on her own. Camila was born in Spain, but she grew up in Cuba. No matter where she was though, she had always dreamed of life as an artist. Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, Hmong-American Lexi cultivated a passion for dance as a child and pursued singing at the same time. Back in 2023, the respective performers initially connected on the A2K show produced by JYP Entertainment and Republic Records. Chosen out of thousands of contestants to form VCHA, they gained invaluable experience in the studio and on the road with TWICE before leaving this first chapter in the rearview and reconfiguring as GIRLSET during 2025. Agreeing on a new vibe and sound, the quartet came into its own. The world met GIRLSET via the debut single “Commas,” which announced their arrival in summer 2025. “Little Miss” followed on its heels, piling up tens of millions of streams and views. It received acclaim from the likes of Billboard who raved, “it cements its image as four young artists embracing their power.” They kicked into high gear in 2026 with their single “Tweak”. The accompanying music video became the #1 YouTube Worldwide Trending Music Video and garnered over 10 million views in the first 5 days.

We’re really stepping into a new sound with this single, and we’ve been working on it for a while — we’re so excited to finally share it! Not only is “CHAT” a different direction for us sonically, but the choreography is high energy and so fun to perform - it also brings out a different side of us that we can’t wait to show off.” Building on the momentum of "Little Miss" and "Tweak," GIRLSET continues to expand their sonic world without losing their signature edge that made fans fall in love with them in the first place. Undeniable, infectious, and made for the moment, "CHAT" is GIRLSET's next summer hit and gives fans a taste of their debut album coming soon.

Rising singer-songwriter Presley Haile is celebrating a new chapter with the release of her new EP Hamilton Honey: Part 1, via Columbia Records. Making the milestone even more meaningful, the project arrives on her mother’s birthday as a heartfelt gift in her honor.

“I’ve spent most of my life wandering from place to place, like a honeybee chasing the next bloom,” Presley says about the EP. “Somewhere along the way, I realized home wasn’t waiting for me at the end of the journey. It was in the river bends, triticale fields, golden cedar sunsets, bluebonnets, and barn swallow songs I’d been carrying with me all along.”

Rooted in those memories and landscapes, Hamilton Honey: Part 1 captures Presley’s deep connection to home through vivid storytelling and timeless songwriting. Executive produced by Josh Serrato (Koe Wetzel, Jessie Murph, Bailey Zimmerman, among others), the EP features her latest singles, “Busy” and “Silver Promise”, along with three brand new songs. Presley’s Southern twang, blend of Americana and folk shines throughout the project, while resonant guitars complement her melodic vocals. 

Presley will make appearances throughout the summer at River Jam 2026, Dust Bowl Days Farm & Ranch Festival, and additional venues across the country before joining Deer Tick and Old Crow Medicine Show on select tour dates this fall.

GRAMMY-nominated duo SOFI TUKKER return today with their euphoric new single "Barthelona," available now on all streaming platforms. After months of lighting up festival crowds and DJ sets around the world, the infectious dance anthem finally arrives as one of the duo's most anticipated fan requests.   Built around a hypnotic groove, playful lyricism, and the globe-spanning energy that has become SOFI TUKKER's signature, "Barthelona" captures the carefree spirit of a European summer. The song balances irresistible club production with a mischievous narrative, turning late-night temptation into an unforgettable dance floor escape. The chorus, centered around the tongue-in-cheek refrain "Thought I left her in Barthelona," gives the track its instantly memorable hook.   Speaking on the track, the duo shares: “We’ve been sneaking Barthelona in our sets for months and it has consistently created peak moments in all kinds of settings. The energy of this track can really take over a dance floor or someone’s mood on a shitty day take you… maybe even as far as BarTHelona really love this one and are excited for the secret to be coming out. We wrote it in a makeshift studio in a sprinter van on the way from Vegas to Palm Springs, but by virtue of the lyrics it has taken us to Barcelona to shoot the music video and bring it to life. It’s a bit of a cheeky track about going out for a good time, when you don’t know how far it’ll take you… maybe even as far as BarTHelona.”   Directed by Cayetano González and shot in Barcelona, the accompanying video brings the song’s playful energy to life across the city. Set against its iconic architecture and sun-drenched beaches, the visual unfolds through bold choreography, colorful summer styling, and a beachside celebration that captures the hazy, freewheeling spirit of “Barthelona.” The choreography may already look familiar to fans, with the duo having teased the track in recent videos that turned some of Barcelona’s most recognizable landmarks into the backdrop for their own dance floor.   "Barthelona" lands in the middle of another massive international touring season for SOFI TUKKER. This summer, the duo brings their celebrated live show to some of Europe's biggest festivals and destinations, including performances for John Summit's Experts Only in Ibiza, Open'er Festival, Garorock, and Electric Love, continuing a global run that has made them one of dance music's most in-demand live acts.   This fall, SOFI TUKKER kick off their Animal Talk headline tour in North America, bringing their acclaimed live show to fans across the continent following another packed summer of international festival performances.   Known for blurring the lines between electronic, pop, Brazilian influences, and global club culture, SOFI TUKKER have built a career on music that celebrates joy, movement, and connection. From GRAMMY nominations for Drinkee and Treehouse to Platinum-certified hits like "Best Friend" and "Purple Hat," the duo continues to push dance music forward while cultivating one of the genre's most passionate fan communities.
