Bose and NME have announced the ‘C25’ mixtape, the latest in our series of releases spotlighting the next generation of music talent from around the world.
The legendary C-Series compilation from the 1980s and ‘90s was first relaunched in March 2023 thanks to a new partnership between NME and Bose. Featured artists on ‘C23‘ included King Princess, Genesis Owusu and 070 Shake, with select artists performing their exclusive tracks during a massive launch party at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
‘C24’ arrived last summer, boasting a stacked line-up including rugged soulmaster Teddy Swims, jazz-loving singer-songwriter Laufey, London-based musician Artemas and more. Combined, the two releases have racked up more than 100million streams across 22 tracks.
Now, details for the next instalment have been announced with a release date set for later this year. The mixtape will be released on digital streaming platforms, alongside a limited run of vinyl records and cassette tapes. On Tape, an innovative video series featuring one-take, 360-degree performances from C25 artists, will also return after its hugely successful debut last year.
