RCA Records has announced a new partnership and label deal with Loud Robot, the record label from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, to release new musical talent.
To kick off this partnership, Nnena, the first musical signing to Loud Robot, today releases a brand-new track and video for “Heart Moan,” the second track from her forthcoming debut EP “Bipolar Af,” which is set for release on June 25. Other new artist signings to Loud Robot/RCA Records will be announced soon.
Rapper-singer-songwriter Nnena Adigwe was born in Cleveland to Nigerian parents. A former basketball player, she began writing comedic sketches during college which led to more full-fledged projects that required music. Rather than pay licensing fees, she decided to do it herself.
RCA COO John Fleckenstein said, “Nnena is such a talent. Full of personality, stories and song. We are thrilled to announce her debut! And I cannot imagine a more...

Leaders from a cross-section of entertainment and sports spoke today in a town hall on SiriusXM about the devastation the Covid-19 shutdown has had on their industries. The get-together was hosted by Dan Loney of Wharton Business Daily.
“It’s been completely devastating for the industry,” said Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music. “Just this week, many of the major superstar artists tours announced that they were canceled for the remainder of the year. Many, many high profile and stadium-level tours that we were holding on, as an industry, for as long as possible, and really looking at the July dates as still potential. But ultimately I’d say a majority of them have now all officially cancelled until 2021.
“So that has huge ripple effects across the industry, as you can imagine. It’s not just the artists, but it’s all their crews and staff and...

One of the biggest revolutions at the 2020 Grammys occurred outside of the televised primetime ceremony: The 19-year-old singer Koffee won Best Reggae Album, making her the first woman to take home an award that has existed since 1985, and the youngest reggae trophy recipient in history.
On Friday, RCA announced that it signed Koffee in the U.S., the next step in a process meant to introduce her music to audiences outside of traditional bastions of reggae fandom like Jamaica and the U.K. “If you think of the influence of Jamaica on worldwide music,...

Third tier team Coventry City travel to Premier League leaders Arsenal in the Fa Cup fourth round on Friday with only one win against the Londoners in 20 years in all competitions.
Robbie Keane, who went on to play for the Gunners’ bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur, scored the winner at Highfield Road in December 1999 as the Sky Blues emerged victorious 3-2. You have to go back to 1993 for the last time Coventry won at Arsenal by the handsome scoreline 3-0. Micky Quinn’s hat-trick in half an hour at Highbury did the damage.
The Sky Blues’ have a dismal Fa Cup record against the Gunners too. Arsenal have never lost to Coventry in the world’s oldest knockout football competition. In all cup competitions full stop the West Midlands outfit have recorded a single win.
