NME has launched ‘NME The Cover 2025-2026’, a 300-page hardcover coffee table book collecting 50 stories from its weekly franchise that champions emerging artists globally. The third edition in the annually released series features artists such as Maruja, Balu Brigada, Die Spitz, Gigi Perez, BOYNEXTDOOR, and many others, with bespoke artwork, interviews, and previously unseen photography. The book is available for purchase with a 20% launch discount, with orders beginning dispatch on November 6. Free UK delivery is offered, and international shipping is free on orders over £200. Karen Gwee, Managing Editor (Music) at NME Networks, emphasized the mission of breaking new and next music through The Cover, calling it a ‘true labour of love.’ The Cover relaunched in May 2023 with the goal of connecting emerging artists with NME’s audience of millions of music fans. The book includes a full list of featured artists, with additional content available on Spotify and Apple Music. Previous editions include ‘NME The Cover 2023-2024’ and ‘NME The Cover 2024-2025’.
