Bose and NME Release C24 Mixtape Featuring: Teddy Swims, Laufey, Artemas, Royel Otis, Lola Young, Samara Cyn, and Tehya

Today, NME (nme.com) has partnered with Bose to release the latest installment in NME’s iconic C-Series mixtape. Later this month, a limited-edition NME C24 magazine, vinyl, and cassettes will be available.

Now in its second year, the NME C24 collaboration with Bose highlights the future of music with both established and emerging artists. Available to stream and download on all platforms now, this year’s edition features a full tracklist of previously unreleased exclusive new songs from some of the hottest artists in the world.

24-year-old Londoner Artemas contributes to NME C24 with his track “So Stunning,” which defies expectations and points to an ever-evolving future. The song is expansive, powered by crunching guitars and thunderous percussion, offset by his vulnerable falsetto.
“It’s introducing a part of my sound that I haven’t put out into the world,” Artemas tells NME, “but [which] I have been working on for a while: the big kind of glamorous synths. I’ve got a few songs that are like that, with the alt-rock outro where it hits you in the face out of nowhere.”
Artemas is also the latest subject of the new NME video series On Tape. He met with NME at Four Quarters, a Peckham arcade where he first hung out with friends and went on dates after moving to London, to capture a thrilling performance of “So Stunning.”
Earlier this month, NME launched the On Tape series with an exclusive video from breakthrough Georgia-born singer-songwriter Teddy Swims. In the video, Swims gets a tattoo in a London parlour and talks about his rise to stardom before performing his exclusive new song “Funeral.”
Written earlier this year during a chaotic Grammys week, “Funeral” was created in collaboration with Julian Bunetta, Jaten Diimsdale, Mikky Ekko, Jon Green, and Whitney Phillips. The song has garnered over 2 million streams on Spotify and landed on over 400 playlists in its first week. It offers an update on the healing journey chronicled in Swims‘ debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part One), which reached the top 20 in both the US and UK, and its Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping lead single “Lose Control.”
The full C24 mixtape features seven exclusive songs recorded by Teddy Swims, Artemas, Laufey, Royal Otis, Lola Young, and Samara Cyn. Tehya, chosen by the judges of C24’s new artist competition in association with social music creation platform BandLab, also features on the mixtape.
Bose x NME C24 Tracklist:
- Teddy Swims – Funeral
- Artemas – So Stunning
- Laufey – Where or When
- Royel Otis – Nack Nostalgia
- Lola Young – I Don’t Mind
- Tehya – Peach Pit
- Samara Cyn – Loop
Bose x NME C24 is available to stream and download now on digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and SoundCloud. The release coincides with a special C24 print edition of NME Magazine that explores the stories of the featured artists, the creative power of music fandom, and the evolving legacy of the C-Series. Additionally, a limited run of 150 hand-numbered C24 vinyl records and an ultra-limited run of C24 cassette tapes will be released.
Bose x NME C24 continues the series’ mission of showcasing the future of music with original and exclusive tracks from the most exciting and innovative artists. This essential compilation represents a pivotal moment in the new music landscape, giving an elevated platform to diverse new artists and connecting them with music fans worldwide, celebrating Bose and NME’s shared commitment to championing incredible new music.

Daniel Caesar Announces 2026 North American Tour ‘Son Of Spergy’
Daniel Caesar announces his headline 2026 tour in support of his album Son Of Spergy. Launching May 16th in Singapore, the Live Nation-promoted tour will see Daniel take his lauded discography across Asia and North America for a 30-date arena run that includes 7 dates in his native Canada, including his hometown of Toronto, as well as stops in Chicago, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, Anaheim, and more.
TICKETS: Tickets for the North American leg will be available starting Thursday, April 2nd, at 10 am local time via artist pre-sale, and on-sale will begin Friday, April 3rd, at 10 am local time HERE. He’ll be joined by Faye Webster and 070 Shake as supporting acts on select dates of the North American leg.
VIP: The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, access to the exclusive pre-show VIP soundcheck, early entry, exclusive VIP gift item & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.
The tour announcement comes alongside new commercial milestones for several of Daniel’s records and albums. These accolades include RIAA certifications for his debut album Freudian, now 2x Platinum, “Get You,” now 7x Platinum, “Best Part feat. H.E.R,” now 7x Platinum, “Japanese Denim,” now 3x Platinum. He also received Platinum certifications for “We Find Love,” “Loose,” “Streetcar,” “Hold Me Down,” “Blessed,” “CYANIDE,” “LOVE AGAIN,” “Who Hurt You?,” Gold & Platinum certifications for “Superpowers” and “Always,” and Gold certifications for his 2023 album NEVER ENOUGH, 2021’s CASE STUDY 01, “Take Me Away feat. Syd,” “Transform feat. Charlotte Day Wilson,” and his 2014 single “Violet.”
This past weekend, Daniel received the 2026 JUNOs with the International Achievement Award, performed Son Of Spergy standout “Who Knows,” and took home the JUNO awards for Best Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. To kick off 2026, he performed a rare, showstopping second Tiny Desk Concert and performed alongside Mustafa, Alex G, Blood Orange, Rex Orange County, Jazmine Sullivan, Geese, Ravyn Lenae, and more at the Artists for Aid benefit concert hosted by Bella Hadid and Pedro Pascal in Los Angeles, which raised $5.5 million for charities in Sudan and Palestine. This past fall, Daniel released his new album Son Of Spergy, which debuted on the Billboard 200 at #4 and Billboard R&B Album Chart at #1, his highest-charting body of work yet and first Top 10 album. Shortly after its release, he performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a moving performance of the album track “Who Knows,” a runaway streaming hit.
Son Of Spergy serves as the follow-up to his Top 15 Billboard 200-charting album NEVER ENOUGH and includes previously released singles “Have A Baby (With Me),” “Call On Me,” and most recently, “Moon,” all of which offer windows into the album’s central theme of reconciliation, specifically with his father. From the intoxicating “Root Of All Evil,” to the Bon Iver-assisted “Moon,” Caesar spends the album interrogating himself in pursuit of purer, healthier relationships.
As a wildly successful artist at such a young age, Caesar lived much of his 20s in self-indulgence. The only people who really ever told him no, who ever truly held him accountable, were his family members. Now, at 30 years old, he uses this album to animate his thoughts on core concepts: his own purpose on this Earth, what he means in relation to his parents, and how the world will change when he eventually becomes a dad. “I have a lot of respect for my dad, and I hold him in high regard. The album is about me realizing that I am exactly like him,” he shares. “In that sense, it’s about having patience, respect, and admiration for myself.”
Mainly recorded in Jamaica, Daniel is joined by Sampha, Bon Iver, Blood Orange, Yebba, 646yf4t, and his own father, Norwill Simmonds, for an album that is both compositionally and melodically breathtaking. Ahead of the album’s release, Daniel put on a tour of pop-up, impromptu performances at parks in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Bozeman, Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta, performing intimate sets for massive crowds of fans. Daniel was joined by Mustafa for many of the performances, and, in Los Angeles, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates performed a solo rendition of his band’s song “NEVER ENOUGH” on the keys. Earlier that week, Caesar wrapped up the string of moving performances with a pair of shows at the Harlem Parish Church.
Son Of Spergy was first teased with a video letter shared on socials and discussed in Daniel’s Billboard cover story. In a conversation with Tyler, The Creator for Billboard, the two discuss Daniel’s career to date, their creative relationship (especially as it pertains to Daniel’s extensive work across Tyler’s 2024 album CHROMAKOPIA), what fans can expect from Son Of Spergy, and more. Earlier in 2025, Daniel joined forces with close friend and collaborator Rex Orange County for a special two-track bundle, “Rearrange My World / There’s A Field (That’s Only Yours).” Daniel was also featured on “The Field,” from Blood Orange’s new album Essex Honey, alongside Caroline Polachek, Tariq Al-Sabir, and The Durutti Column, and contributed songwriting, backing vocals, and production to “DEVOTION” featuring Dijon on Justin Bieber’s GRAMMY® nominated album, SWAG.
Listen to Son Of Spergy above and stay tuned for more from Daniel Caesar coming soon.
