CATHERINE BRITT SIGNS TO RED REBEL MUSIC
“She’s the real deal”
SIR ELTON JOHN Iconic Australian country singer-songwriter, Catherine Britt, has officially signed to Red Rebel Music’s label roster. Speaking about the signing, Catherine says: “It’s always exciting to start a new chapter and embrace some positive change. I have been doing music for over 20 years and have ventured into many different working relationships. Some good, some not as good, but they all lead me to where I needed to go next. This next chapter with Red Rebel Music I feel is going to be the best yet. I have never felt more confident in myself, more settled in my sound, brand and music and it can’t think of a better partner to do this with. I have always chosen to work with people who “get” what I am doing and who are just as passionate about what crazy things I am doing as I am. Let’s GO!". “For me, the name Catherine Britt is synonymous with country music and is an absolute superstar. To have her officially join Red Rebel Music is not only exciting but it’s an absolute honour to work with Catherine again for her next chapter”, added Red Rebel Music’s Karen Waters. Catherine Britt is one of the most successful artists in Australian country music. She is a five-time Golden Guitar Award winner, six-time ARIA Award Best Country Album nominee, signed to RCA in the US at just 17, earned two US Billboard Top 40 Chart singles, toured and worked with everyone from Brooks & Dunn to Alan Jackson to Dolly Parton, is the youngest Australian ever to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and recorded a duet with Sir Elton John. She has released eight solo studio albums with her most recent being 2021’s ARIA #1 “Home Truths”. More recently she’s been recording and touring with the wildly popular, The Pleasures, alongside Lachlan Bryan, Damian Cafarella and Bradley Bergen. Catherine Britt’s first single under the new deal will be unveiled in August with a new album to follow in January 2026. |

GENEVIEVE CHADWICK OFFERS UP SECOND SINGLE, “HEADLIGHTS”, FROM FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUMGenevieve Chadwick releases “Headlights” - the second single lifted from her eagerly awaited new album – her first in over ten years -“Best Left For the Willing”, slated for release in the second half of the year.
“Headlights” plunges into the restless search for direction amid uncertainty. It highlights the feeling of standing at a crossroads, where clarity flickers between the contrasts of light and shadow, hope and doubt. The lyrics carry a raw, almost primal energy, as if the song itself is howling for a sign to guide the way forward. The music amplifies this sense of urgency – its rhythm pulsing like a heartbeat on the edge of decision. “In the face of the unknown, there’s an intense plea for guidance”, says Genevieve. “It explores what it means to be at the mercy of forces beyond control, yet amidst this turbulence, there’s a quiet surrender”. “Headlights” leaves you suspended in that powerful moment of hesitation, where the journey ahead is uncertain but the resolve to move forward is undeniable.

LINC PHELPS ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM, “FAITH & SWEAT” – FRI 7 MARCH 2025Never one to shy away from writing songs that are deeply personal, Linc will release his sophomore album, “Faith & Sweat”, on Friday 7th March 2025. As the title suggests, it’s been a long period of faith, blood, sweat and tears to get to this point.
The album has already produced four hit singles - his #1 smash, “Hundred Percent”, crowd favourite “Workin’ on Me”, “Sing A Little Louder” and the stunning duet, “Dear Mind”, with Golden Guitar Award winner, Melody Moko. Produced by Gavin Carfoot (Max Jackson/James Johnston/Loren Ryan) and mixed by Jared Adlam (James Johnston/Denvah/Chloe Styler), they intentionally set out to capture the energy and magic of Linc Phelps live. Tracking live with his touring band at QUT Studios in Brisbane, the result is 10 incredible tracks that ooze the essence of Linc Phelps. “Faith & Sweat” opens with the title track and one that is reminiscent of classic Cold Chisel. It talks about how good things come and challenges can be conquered if you believe and put in the effort. “Workin’ On Me”, puts his life front and centre by paying tribute to the people who shaped him into the man he is today. “Hundred Percent” speaks of moving through life in an authentic way and being committed in whatever you do. “Dear Mind” was one of those songs that just came to him instantly after hearing the phrase on the television in the background. He was texting with his friend Melody Moko that same day and casually chatting about their lives, challenges, music and the overwhelming feeling of ‘spinning your wheels’. Linc sent Melody the song and she instantly said yes to recording it as a duet. “Sing A Little Louder” was co-written with the award winning, The Wolfe Brothers, and is an anthem for everyone who have ever felt the world is just too much and you’re not being seen or heard no matter how hard you try. “Country Singer” is a true country tune singing the tale of how a country singer can help you through the tough times life frequently brings while “Another Whiskey” is a rollicking, feel good bar room anthem. “Coffee, Whiskey and Love” is an emotive and bluesy number co-written with Gavin Carfoot, Nolan Wynne and Mel Lukin. “Old Gympie Road” takes Phelps in a harder direction with a true story about the region he grew up and still lives with his family. Both songs would not feel out of place on a Chris Stapleton album. The album closes with the highly personal, “Green Valley”, a song written and dedicated to the memory of his baby daughter, Denver Grace. Linc Phelps is often referred to as one of Australian country music’s best kept secrets – “Faith & Sweat” is evident that that secret will not remain for much longer. Born and bred in Gympie, Linc Phelps is one of those salt of the earth people that is known far and wide in the tight knit Australian country music industry as a good bloke, great performer and singer and all-round legend. He proudly wears his heart on his sleeve both in life and via song. It’s a rare quality that speaks so loudly to his character and attitude towards being a songwriter, singer, performer, husband, father and friend. Linc Phelps “Faith & Sweat” is our Friday 7th March 2025 through Red Rebel Music / MGM Distribution. Check it out -> https://ffm.to/faithandsweat |

GENEVIEVE CHADWICK RETURNS WITH FIRST SINGLE IN OVER A DECADEAfter a decade of reflection and growth, Genevieve Chadwick felt it was time to reconnect her music with the world.
The first offering from her anticipated third album drops on Friday 14th February in the form of “Wildfire” offering a depth and maturity of an artist who has truly lived her songs. “Wildfire” captures the moment of awakening and confrontation of one’s own truths, acknowledging the internal struggles that have been buried and ignores but continue to rise to the surface. “The lyrics delve into escapism and the consequences of not facing the truth”, explains Genevieve. “Wildfire is a call to confront the chaos within, despite the costs and fallout, reminding us that true transformation often begins with an honest reckoning”. The track is produced by Genevieve along with long-time Kasey Chambers collaborator and drummer, Syd Green at his Jervis Bay Recording Studios. Syd also contributes drums, percussion, slide guitar and pedal steel, while Mick Malouf provides bass, and Genevieve rounds out the studio band on acoustic guitar.
