Universal Music Publishing Australia are proud to represent Lime Cordiale as part of a JV with Chugg Music. 

Lime Cordiale’s infectious performances and genuine interactions with their fans has made them one of Australia’s buzziest bands. It’s a fact that was reflected in July when they scored their first #1 album on the ARIA Charts with “14 Steps to a Better You”.

In a watershed moment last year, Lime Cordiale chalked up an incredible eight ARIA Award nominations, making them the most nominated act of 2020 and landing them their debut ARIA Award for Best Breakthrough Artist. Soon afterward, in January’s triple j Hottest 100 countdown, the band scored an unprecedented five tracks in the top 26, their highest-ranking song 'On Our Own' claiming 11th position.

In 2020, Lime Cordiale’s hit singles 'Robbery' and 'Temper Temper' gained Platinum accreditation, and over the past eighteen months, the band has accrued an additional 7 x Gold singles. With over 1.5 million monthly listeners and upwards of 265 million streams on Spotify, over 22 million Apple Music streams, and YouTube views exceeding 15 million, the band is on a fast rise. They’ve supported Tones & I across North America and have played more than 100 shows across the globe in the 18 months, including 27 sold-out performances on their recent Speakeasy tour, earning a fierce reputation for one of the most talked-about live shows in the country. Their shows have been touted as “raucous” by The AU Review, and “triumphant… a therapeutic musical extravaganza guaranteed to cure those post lockdown hangovers” by Beat. 

Their newest mini album “Cordi Elba” is a pure art collision between Australian chart-topping duo Lime Cordiale and actor/musician/DJ and record label boss Idris Elba (The Wire, Thor, The Suicide Squad, Mandela). 

Recorded in Sydney this year while Idris was in town shooting a movie, what started as a one-off experiment spawned a mini album, “Apple Crumble” being the first released single. 

The partnership began when Lime Cordiale asked if Idris wanted to guest on a new version of Lime Cordiale’s Unnecessary Things – a song that first surfaced on the ‘relapse’ reissue of their 2020 No.1 album 14 Steps To A Better You. Idris did his research and was instantly sold. “I listened to them on Spotify, fell in love with them very quickly,” he says.

Heavy touring is something the brothers have always found more energizing than exhausting. Especially when they return to obscure European towns and find that their fans have brought their mates, and mates of mates to their shows -- and everyone in the house is singing along. “When you release a song, you don't realise that people know it until you play a show and people are singing that song back to you,” says Oli. “That’s pretty huge, and it’s incredibly rewarding.”
