Apple Music is excited to announce Stefflon Don as the new ‘Up Next’ artist for January 2018. The dancehall/rap artist joins the Apple Music ‘Up Next’ class of artists on the heels of her UK Top 10 single “Hurtin’ Me feat. French Montana,” latest single “Ding-A-Ling feat. Skepta” and a feature on Jax Jones & Demi Lovato’s worldwide smash “Instruction.” On January 17th, Apple Music will premiere a new documentary short film, as well as an exclusive sit-down interview with Beats 1 anchor Julie Adenuga. Later tonight, Stefflon Don will also make her U.S. national television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

“Conversations with Steff are always exciting and hilarious. She doesn’t do a lot of interviews, and I learn more about her every time we talk,” said Beats 1 anchor Julie Adenuga. “She’s extremely talented, and has the ability to make any style of music she likes without losing the magic of who she is.”

Stefflon Don adds, “I am really excited to be the new ‘Up Next’ Artist. Julie, Zane, Ebro and everyone at Beats 1 have been there with me from the start, and it’s great to be the first British artist to get this support from Apple Music. Can’t wait for you all to hear what I have coming this year! Its gonna be a mad Ting!”

After closing an already incredible 2017 with an appearance alongside Future and J. Balvin on the remix of MC Fioti’s “Bum Bum Tam Tam” as well as news that her top 10 single “Hurtin’ Me” went gold, Stefflon Don closed out an already exceptional year that saw the breakout star announce her debut headline tour, perform live on Alan Carr’s ‘New Year Spectacular’, BBC’s new ‘Sounds Like Friday Night’, Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball and live from the red carpet at the MTV EMA’s. In addition, the East London artist picked up a BRITs Critic’s Choice nomination, a win for Best Female Artist at the 2017 MOBOs and released new single ‘Ding-A-Ling’, which sees her spit her fierce trademark flow alongside grime legend Skepta. Already a fan favourite, the track is quickly adding considerable numbers to her 100m streams-and-counting.

Rising Superstar AMBER Turns Everyday Moments Into Vivid Stories On Just a Daydream

Published

Songwriters often draw from personal experience, but what makes Just a Daydream stand out is the way AMBER reshapes those experiences through imagination. Instead of presenting events exactly as they happened, she builds scenes that feel colourful, expressive and full of possibility, giving the songs a distinctive identity from the very beginning.

That approach reflects the idea behind the EP’s title. What begins as a passing thought or a hopeful fantasy gradually develops into something more tangible, carrying listeners through romance, longing, disappointment and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The songs remain connected by that thread, making the EP feel like one continuous conversation rather than a collection of separate ideas.

Musically, AMBER blends soul, jazz, funk and pop touches without allowing any one influence to dominate. The lively pulse of “Say What” explores the confusion that can grow from crossed wires, while “Aromatherapy” offers a gentler close, bringing the emotional journey to a place of calm reflection.

Working with producer Kipper Eldridge, AMBER has created a debut that places storytelling at its heart. Every musical choice supports the atmosphere of the songs, allowing the lyrics and performances to take centre stage. Out now through Now Listen, Just a Daydream is more than a collection of well-made tracks. It is an invitation into a creative world where imagination gives everyday emotions a fresh perspective and where even the smallest moments have a story worth telling.
