WHAT IT IS: “Come Along”—the breakout single by London-bred singer/songwriter, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Cosmo Sheldrake—is currently in the national TV spot for Apple’s iPhone XR. The look generated instant fan reaction across the board, with more than 350k Shazams, 30k singles sold, 2.5m streams and a 27% increase in social following. With early radio airplay from SiriusXM Alt Nation and terrestrial Alternative radio, the song is poised to continue to grow, thanks to a full radio campaign and Sheldrake’s appearance in the U.S. market this summer.
