"It’s about cannibalizing your life and relationships as a songwriter and is, in the gentlest of ways, a middle finger of a break-up song."

Following the release of his debut album 'For the First Time, Again' in January, Tyler Ballgame has returned with a new standalone single, Live It Down: https://t.co/Ukgudlw0zR

The soulful new alt-folk cut from Tyler Ballgame is built around jaunty guitar strums, scrappy drums, and mic’d-up furniture

The Deluxe Edition of Scritti Politti’s Cupid & Psyche 85 is out today, bringing the fabled 'CD tracklisting' to vinyl for the first time. https://t.co/17UBo6XQOM

Coming with rarities from the Scritti Politti archive, this new release sees the 13-song version of the album (curated in 1985 for the then new CD format) make its debut on LP. It is also out on CD and streaming services.

In addition to the expanded running order, Perfect Way (Version), Lover to Fall (12" Dance Mix) and Perfect Way (Perfect Way Mix) have been handpicked by the band to feature as bonus tracks.

The Deluxe Edition was overseen by Green Gartside, who contributes to the sleevenotes along with David Gamson, while the release was remastered by Chris Athens, who has also worked with the likes of Drake and Beastie Boys.

In addition, there will be exclusive RT50 merch for sale, alongside offerings from Scritti Politti, caroline & My New Band Believe.
