NME and Bose have dropped their second installment of the C-Series mixtape, C24. The collaboration includes both established and breakout artists along with a limited edition magazine, vinyl and cassettes coming soon.
The first track from the mixtape, “Funeral,” comes courtesy of Teddy Swims, who wrote the song during a chaotic Grammys week.
“‘Funeral’ is fun, upbeat and it’ll make people want to dance, but there’s a layer of sadness underneath that,” Swims said of the song. “I love being able to make music that has joy but is heartbreaking at the same time. We're finally at the point where we're honing a certain sound. It's all about this old soul, Motown feel but modernizing that in a way that feels authentic. Songs like ‘Funeral’ just feel right.”
The full tracklist for C24 also boasts new songs from Artemas, Laufey, Royal Otis, Lola Young, Samara Cyn and newcomer Tehya. Listen to "Funeral" below and pre-order the mixtape here.
