Speaking on the release, Karen Gwee, Managing Editor (Music) at NME Networks, said: “I’m so excited to present NME The Cover 2024–2025 and, in doing so, share the immense year in music we have had captured in the music and journeys of these 50 inimitable artists.

"The small but mighty NME team has been so lucky to work with these artists and a constellation of talented creatives – photographers, stylists and many more – to realise bold ideas and execute experimental shoots. Through this book, we celebrate risk-taking and imagination, and salute the vibrant community that makes artistry reality.”

This new edition follows the 2023–2024 volume, which featured the likes of ENHYPEN, The Last Dinner Party, English Teacher, Laufey, and Chappell Roan. The Cover 2024–2025 continues that legacy - a chronicle of the future of music, beautifully bound for those who live and breathe it.
