<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><i>Los Angeles, CA – March 3, 2015<b> –</b></i> Australian singer/songwriter Cody Simpson debuted his official music video for new song “<b>New Problems</b>” giving
<b><i>Nylon.com</i></b><i> </i>the first look, <b><span style="color:red"><a href="http://www.nylon.com/articles/video-premiere-cody-simpson-new-problems">PRESS HERE</a></span></b>. The video was
<b>directed by Cameron Duddy</b> known for his work with Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, and Grouplove and the track is now available on iTunes,
<a href="http://radi.al/NewProblems">PRESS HERE</a>. Cody also announced he will be releasing an upcoming EP
<span style="color:black">co-produced by Cisco Adler</span> which is slated to release on April 7, 2015 via Coast House Records / Banana Beat Records. EP title, artwork and track listing will be announced shortly.<br>
<br>
“The ‘New Problems’ release in its entirety, as a video and a single, is an outlet for me to show that there is a still little rock n roll left in the youth,” says Cody Simpson. “This, including the other ones you'll soon hear all showcase who I am growing
into as a writer and a player. It's the one tune on my new project "Free" that does lean a little grungier and in this video Cameron Duddy and I wanted to grasp onto that and reflect it in a sense.”<br>
<span style="color:red"><br>
</span>Cody gave listeners a sneak peek of the upcoming EP on <b><i>RollingStone.com</i></b><i>
</i>with his track “Flower” and <b>single artwork created by Miley Cyrus</b>, <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/cody-simpson-flower-miley-cyrus-20150204">
