New York, NY (September 15th, 2022) – One of the UK’s most promising new acts, DYLAN, has released a new single “Nothing Lasts Forever” and announced the release of an upcoming mixtape, The Greatest Thing I’ll Never Learn, due out October 28 via Island Records UK/Republic Records.

Pre-Save The Greatest Thing I’ll Never Learn
‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ pairs the 22 year old’s magnetic pop hooks with the soaring, classic rock inspired guitars she was raised on. Serving a much-needed dose of realism to a partner, she delivers biting lyrics laced with undeniably infectious energy; adding yet another stadium-worthy anthem to her ever growing discography.
“’Nothing Lasts Forever’ is one of my favourite tracks on the mixtape because it’s a perfect representation of who I am as a person – straight to the point, honest and entirely chaotic.” tells Dylan. “It’s the classic Dylan contradiction of emotions between the lyrics and the track. I wanted to write a happy song about how badly I handle my feelings, and the way that people can walk in and out of your life as they please.”
Dylan’s first mixtape – and debut release for Island Records UK/Republic Records – packs a hefty wallop; an eight-track record that doesn’t give you any choice but to sit up, pay attention and sing every word back in your head for days afterwards. Titled ‘The Greatest Thing I’ll Never Learn’, it encapsulates the rising star’s experiences with “learning to love and be loved”. “How does anyone love and be loved?! It’s cringy, but the songs are so un-cringy that it’s very easy to take in without icking myself out. But I feel like I’m writing a soundtrack to my life. This is my movie soundtrack.”
That soundtrack is one that is unfailingly frank and thrillingly unbothered by society’s expectations of female artists. Whether she’s reacting to people not wanting to date her on ‘Girl Of Your Dreams’ or searching for answers about herself, as on the ballad ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’, Dylan is incredibly direct.

2021 was a great year for London-based, Suffolk-born singer-songwriter who won over an army of supporters through the release of her singles ‘Nineteen’, ‘You’re Not Harry Styles’ and ‘No Romeo’ which started to cement her sound – big pop hooks driven by crunchy guitars, candid dissections of her life and loves into incisive, memorable lyrics.
Her ability to pen a top song earned early praise and support from the likes of Notion, MTV, Vogue Italia, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash Magazine and BBC Introducing. Most notably, she just wrapped a UK stadium tour in support of Ed Sheeran, which included five sold out shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, and has also toured with Yungblud, Bastille and Tate McRae; inspiring an incredibly loyal and passionate fanbase to form around her.
