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.
