Belters Only Collab With Sonny Fodera & Jazzy On New Club Anthem ‘Life Lesson’!
Unstoppable Irish DJ duo Belters Only team up with Sonny Fodera and Jazzy on their new single ‘Life Lesson’, out on 27th October via Polydor Records.
With uplifting piano, driving bass and a stunning vocal from frequent collaborator Jazzy, ‘Life Lesson’ is a beautifully crafted anthem by Belters Only with the help of Sonny Fodera’s famed production talents.
The new single comes out ahead of the duo’s sold-out Dublin 3Arena show and the week before they play Liverpool Blackstone Warehouse, and continues a hot streak for the duo: their recent soul-stirring single ‘4EVA’ and appearance on Riton’s ‘Never Knew Love’ followed the smash singles ‘In The Morning’ with Rain Radio and Jazzy, and ‘My Mind’, which has had over eight millions streams since March. Their remix work has also been gaining serious traction this year, with reworks including Sonny Fodera’s ‘Like I Used To’ and Kimmic’s ‘Never Miss A Beat’.
Sonny Fodera’s current track ‘Asking’ is a UK Top 10 single, also hitting Top 15 in the Irish charts, and has over 40M global streams across all platforms. He headlined some of the biggest festivals in the UK last year alongside a 15-week residency at Amnesia, Ibiza, and recently announced his biggest ever headline show at Alexandra Palace in London. With support from the likes of Calvin Harris, Dom Dolla, Gorgon City, Danny Howard and Noizu.
Irish dance pop singer-songwriter Jazzy is similarly having a big year, coming off the back of an Irish #1 and UK Top 3 single with ‘Giving Me’ and a Top 40 UK single with ‘Feel It’. The three artists collectively have over 1M followers on Instagram and TikTok alone, increasing the hype around this all-star collaboration.
Following a breakthrough 2022, Belters Only have now amassed almost 500 million streams with their own anthemic brand of house music. ‘Make Me Feel Good’ was the 12th biggest selling song of the year in the UK and the duo have just hit an impressive 60k TikTok followers, 50k on Instagram, and 40K YouTube subs, as well as finishing up 2022 as the 6th most viewed TikTok music page across all genres in Ireland.
After releasing their Soundcloud-only project Irish Only, which held the top of the New & Hot chart in Ireland, the duo capped off last year with their EP ‘2022 Only’, and earlier this year scored another big hit with their single ‘My Mind’, which consolidated their position as the hottest new DJ duo to watch.
Their fine form has continued with ‘Life Lesson’, a red-hot collaboration that’s set to become the duo’s next big club anthem.
Understanding the Disputes Eric Prydz and Calvin Harris Have Filed Against Their Former Manager
The separate financial disputes involving Calvin Harris and Eric Prydz have drawn renewed attention after both artists filed claims against their former manager, Thomas St. John. The cases differ in scale but share similar concerns regarding how funds were handled during their time under his management. Public filings outline a substantial investment issue raised by Calvin Harris and a claim of unauthorized withdrawals reported by Eric Prydz, creating a clearer picture of why both artists have chosen to move forward through legal channels.
Calvin Harris’s Financial Dispute With Thomas St. John
The financial claim filed by Calvin Harris centers on his involvement in a planned Hollywood development promoted by his former manager Thomas St. John. Public documents state that Calvin Harris contributed a 10 million dollar loan and a 12.5 million dollar investment intended for the construction of a creative and commercial complex. According to the filings, the project has not progressed as expected, and a significant portion of the money appears to have been directed to entities linked to Thomas St. John. The information made available outlines concerns about the transparency of the project, the lack of detailed updates, and the absence of returns on the funds that were supplied.
The case is currently moving through arbitration, which limits the amount of material released publicly, although the available documents provide a clear view of why Calvin Harris submitted the claim. His statement highlights the unresolved status of the project and the limited explanations he received regarding how the funds were used. The filings describe unanswered questions about the management of the investment, the shift in the project’s direction, and the distribution of the money after it was transferred. These points form the basis of the ongoing dispute between Calvin Harris and Thomas St. John and set the foundation for the legal process now underway.
Eric Prydz’s Claim Against His Former Manager
The filing submitted by Eric Prydz outlines a separate set of financial concerns involving his former manager Thomas St. John. According to the publicly available information, Eric Prydz reported a series of withdrawals that he did not authorize, totaling more than 269,000 dollars. His complaint also states that important tax documents were withheld during the preparation of his return, which created further issues and prompted him to seek independent assistance. These details form the core of his claim and show that his dispute is focused on personal account activity rather than investment matters.
The information released so far presents a clear picture of why Eric Prydz chose to move forward with legal action. The filings describe discrepancies in payments, concerns about access to financial records, and unresolved questions about the handling of his accounts. While the amount involved is smaller than the figure associated with Calvin Harris, the nature of the complaint adds another layer to the ongoing discussions surrounding the financial management provided by Thomas St. John. The case remains active as additional information continues to surface through the legal process.
How the Two Cases Connect
Although the cases involving Calvin Harris and Eric Prydz differ in scale and detail, they point to a shared concern about how their finances were managed under Thomas St. John. Both filings describe difficulties in obtaining clear information, unresolved questions about account activity, and disputes regarding the use or movement of funds. The available documents also show that each artist chose to pursue their claims separately, which confirms that the situations developed independently rather than as part of one combined action. These points create a clearer understanding of why both artists elected to move forward through formal channels instead of informal negotiation.
Together, the two cases have brought attention to the broader issues surrounding high-level financial management in the music industry, especially for artists who rely on long-term advisors to oversee complex portfolios. The information currently released reflects the individual circumstances of Calvin Harris and Eric Prydz, without extending beyond what has been confirmed in public filings. As both matters continue through the legal process, further updates are expected to provide additional clarity regarding the outcomes of their disputes with Thomas St. John.
