Award-winning songwriter, musician, producer and Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart and British soul sensation Joss Stone are teaming up with innovative music platform SongBits, the revolutionary platform transforming how fans connect with music and artists. On January 10th, fans will be able to join the waitlist at jossstone.songbits.com, for the opportunity to own a part of Stone's acclaimed 2021 release, Never Forget My Love, produced and co-written by Stewart, with it going live on January 31st 2025.
SongBits, co-founded by entrepreneur Russell Sheffield, alongside Dave Stewart, leverages cutting- edge blockchain technology to empower artists with complete creative and financial control over their music, while giving fans the opportunity to own a "bit" of their favourite songs and share in their success. A concept that acknowledges the difficulties all artists experience in the age of streaming in receiving remuneration for their recorded work, and especially benefits new and independent artists looking to finance their releases and careers, as well as forge a closer connection with fans. SongBits allows artists to share the financial success of their work with their fans, who in turn gain lifetime ownership of the 'bits' of whichever song they purchase, with additional perks available to those who chose to buy them. Fans can acquire not only a share of royalties but also gain access to an array of exclusive VIP experiences, merchandise, and direct interactions with artists.
SongBits isn't just about owning music—it's about unlocking exclusive perks like VIP access to events, rare merchandise, and personal connections with beloved artists. With the sale of "Never Forget My Love", fans will have the chance to engage with Stone and Stewart in unprecedented ways.
Speaking on her exclusive collaboration with SongBits and Dave Stewart, Joss says:
"I'm excited to be working again with my friend Dave on this project. Never Forget My Love is one of my favourite tracks from the last album we did together. He's such an innovator- always looking at new tech stuff and also finding ways to help fellow musicians. This one also helps the brilliant charity World Central Kitchen."
Stewart adds:
"This is the first of a series of SongBits campaigns using my co-writes, with a portion of the proceeds from each one going to good causes. I love working with Joss - she's a great artist- so it made sense to kick things off with this track. It's great that a wonderful charity like World Central Kitchen, who I have supported since they started out, can also benefit from this concept."

Supporting World Central KitchenCommenting on the charitable donation, Dave Stewart shared:
"I met, and was inspired by, José Andrés just before the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, that's when he launched World Central Kitchen with his wife. WCK focuses on one mission: feeding people who are hungry. I admire their non-political, action-oriented approach and have been supporting their work from the start. This is a cause close to my heart, and I'm proud to help further their mission." Learn more at https://www.worldcentralkitchen.org
