Somethin' Else is a London and New York content agency, specialising in content strategy and production across video, television, audio and social media.[1][2] It was founded in 1991 by Jez Nelson, Chris Philips and Sonita Alleyne, and was acquired outright by Sony Music Entertainment in 2021, after a number of joint venture projects between the two,[3][4][5] with the company being part of Sony Music's Global Podcast Division.

Television projects have included the modern day version of Jazz 625 for BBC Four, a jazz music programme originally broadcast by BBC 2 in the mid 1960s.[25][26]

In 2017, it was the only company in the UK to feature in Campaign Magazine's School Reports and Broadcast Magazine's Top 100. On 16 June 2021, Sony Music Entertainment announced that the company had acquired Somethin' Else.[46]

On 1 April 2022, the last ever episode of Kermode and Mayo's Film Review was broadcast by the BBC,[47] with Somethin' Else announcing that the replacement show, called Kermode and Mayo's Take,[48][49][50][51] would be a twice weekly podcast series featuring film and television reviews, with the Take 2 podcast being exclusive to subscribers.
