Ari B - Dance into the Party (Official Video)




Ari B’s music is known for its style, originality and dance-able
beats, but Ari takes it to a whole new playing field with her new single
“Dance Into The Party”. The music video hits the dance floors with
never seen before moves and Ari’s usual commanding, meaningful
narrative. “Dance Into The Party” is now available via all major outlets
and accompanying music video was directed by Wayne Isham (Michael
Jackson, Madonna, Bon Jovi) and choreographed by Chuck Maldonado (Stomp
The Yard, Step Up 4). Both further position Ari B as a performer who
will make her indelible mark in the music world.






“Dance Into The Party”
is stamped with Ari B’s now popular distinctive vocal style. She
reminds listeners of Toni Braxton and Aaliyah, and her dancing, Janet
Jackson and Paula Abdul. This blend of magic on the screen is a
re-imagination of Pop, R&B and Hip Hop as the new generation likes
it to be, dominant yet cool and deep, riveting ’till the end.
 For Ari B, collaborating with Wayne Isham on the concept of the
video, and working with such an incredible legend in the industry, was
no less than amazing. “I knew after our first phone call that we were
going to work great together. He is  funny, he is straightforward – both
great traits, especially in this creative process.  In addition, I felt
how passionate and invested he was in the project from day one. Either
way, he is a genius. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work
with him. On set, he was very enthusiastic and was so involved when
working with everybody who was there – it sort of stuck with me that
whenever he complimented me, he made sure that I took it and understood
it – everything that comes out of his mouth is with purpose, and he
wants to make sure his words come across, always. Such a genuine,
intelligent, nice guy.”




When talking about the making of this video, Ari can’t say enough
about how incredible it was to dance to choreography by the inimitable
Chuck Maldonado: “His choreography for this track was very unique, no
surprise there. The rehearsal process of working with him was very
special. He was so humble, yet his sense of strength and direction were
spot on – the combination doesn’t get better. He demanded the best from
all of us in the rehearsal process. On set, he was very invested and
hands-on working with me & the dancers – so helpful. Couldn’t have
happened without his involvement when the cameras were off – always
constructing and adjusting.”
 
 
The track is the perfect pop song with its catchy lyrics and driving
beat to serve as the soundtrack for end of summer celebrations and
year-round parties.
 
If Ari’s works creates a spell, the secret lies in a creative
regimen that is hands-on and covers every aspect of creation, from
vision and concept, to writing, studio recordings, and on-stage
performances. She has found in music and performance the perfect medium
to reveal her ‘ideal reflection of life’. Writing and recording at
Bristol Studios with producer Ric Poulin, she has also recently earned a
scholarship for musical theater at the prestigious Boston Conservatory
at Berklee.
 All of 18 years of age, Ari B is no newcomer to the world of music
and dance. She found her voice at the young age of 7. entered theater as
an actress (‘Into The Woods’, ‘Carrie’ and ‘West Side Story’) and has
acted in short films, commercials and feature films (‘The Makeover’).
She was the youngest ever to perform with the pre-professional dance
company Boston Youth Moves in downtown Boston, training and performing
with Alvin Ailey Dance Company, Chita Rivera and other well-known
choreographers.




As a professional artist, Ari B tasted success when her single ‘By
The Pool’ won Best Video of the Year (2017) at the New England Music
Awards. Apart from awards she has also had the privilege to work with
renowned artists and top names in the industry, including Ray Kay
(Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears), Mikey Minden, and Kenya Clay
(Pussy Cat Dolls, American Music Awards). Her recent performance venues
include House of Blues, Patriots Place and The Hard Rock Cafe. ‘Dance
Into The Party’ is Ari B at her best in vocal delivery and dance moves,
and further expands her fan base that loves original music and
captivating dance-powered music videos. A “firecracker” on stage, she
commands and leads with a riveting narrative that will prove to be the
life of the party. It will be interesting to see where her career takes
Ari in the coming years. Check out her latest videos and performances
and stay up to date with all things Ari B on her website (www.aribofficial.com) and on her YouTube Page!

Salt Ashes - Wilderness



Radikal Records, one of the United States’ leading independent
electronic dance music record labels, has announced that “Wilderness” is
the second single from emerging UK Electronic artist Salt Ashes’
self-titled debut album.





Salt Ashes Releases Second Single & Official Video from

Self-Titled Debut Album, “Wilderness”




Radikal Records, one of the United States’ leading independent
electronic dance music record labels, has announced that “Wilderness” is
the second single from emerging UK Electronic artist Salt Ashes’
self-titled debut album.









Fast rising UK electronic singer-songwriter Salt Ashes is excited to
share the official music video for “Wilderness” the second single from
her self-titled debut album. The single will follow-up her extraordinary
lead track “Save It,” which received rave reviews worldwide from music
publications such as Billboard, Record of the Day, and Idolator. The
songstress is looking to build on the success of “Save It” with her new
single “Wilderness.”




“Wilderness” fits perfectly into “Salt Ashes,” as the album takes
listeners on a journey through love, loss, heartbreak, finding and
losing yourself. When asked about the meaning behind “Wilderness,” Salt
Ashes stated “Wilderness is about only needing love to fulfill you, the
kind of love that is crazy, reckless and all consuming. It’s about not
holding back and having no regrets.”




Today, she released the visuals for “Wilderness”, premiering on Clash Magazine.
The video, directed and filmed by ‘A Rooted & Toma Productions’ in
Faro Portugal is a beautiful counterpoint to the weighty darkness of the
track. “Wilderness” is brought to life with a Bonnie and Clyde inspired
video which follows a madly in love couple, played by Salt Ashes and
Justin Bravo, in their reckless and tumultuous relationship. In order to
accurately depict the raw emotions of the troubled couple, the video
was filmed on hand held cameras, which exposed imperfections and allowed
the relationship to feel as real as possible.





“Wilderness” can be found on Salt Ashes eponymous album, which is
available for purchase in record stores nationwide, on Amazon, iTunes, 
Bandcamp, Google Play, and in the Radikal Records web-store. It is also
available for streaming on Spotify.

PRODUCTION HOUSE: Packshoot ApS
Assistent: Kasper Blomgren Jørgensen




Makeup / Styling: Julie Petersen Lund
PERFORMERS : Model: Therese Elene Ellehaven
DESCRIPTION OF VIDEO : Music performance video mixed with action based on post-apocalyptic game play.
WHERE SHOT : Menggard, Christiansfeld, Denmark




The
seventh one. With six highly acclaimed albums, what can be said about a
seventh album? It would be easy to say the following: It is our most
mature album. Or how about this: We built on everything that came before
it and added new twists and turns. Or this is our most accessible album
perhaps.

But that wouldn't be quite true. In fact it might
even be quite untrue. Except for the part about building on past
experiences, since everybody does that.

What would have been
mature was to make an album resembling our previous album "Horizons",
going with the beautiful feel-good vibe of that album (though its topics
were not all that feel-good)

Instead, the writing of this album
simply did not go in that direction. While Covered In Black is a highly
melodic affair, it is also challenging in a way none of our previous
albums are. Dealing with, and dedicated to, people in dark places, this
albums has a darker and more complex edge to it. Allowing ourselves to
dig deeper into our collective pool of musical experiences and
knowledge, the inspirations come from far across the spectrum. Ranging
from classical chamber music, seventies prog and extending to thrash,
with very eastern influences popping up,this is an album that is best
heard as one piece, even if the individual tracks can stand on their
own. Since we've come this far we also allowed ourselves that freedom.

Is
it a concept album? No. But it is a theme album. About people in dark
places. From psychopaths, assassins to the more modern topics of being
at the receiving end of what is bad about social media. Topics of
lifelong failure and revenge are touched upon. The ten-song-long album
has two suites, both consisting of three songs. One has the songs spread
here and there on the album, while the other is connected as one long
piece if you wish to listen to it that way. Wonderfully old-fashioned
and just the way we like it. And it is, we feel, simply the best album
we've ever done.

The album is produced by Kim Olesen and Jacob Hansen as per good tradition.

As Strange As Angels "Waves" // iTunes 9/15, Pre-Order Now!



The tale of a proverbial rebirth after being trapped in the tidal waves
of life. Feeling lost. Alone. A Stranger to yourself. Watching life
happen, as if someone else was living the life you were meant to. A
ghost with a heartbeat. Familiar faces, now so unknown.  “Waves”
signaled a stylistic change. Norman knew then, the time was right to
just let it all out.



In late December 2016, the former lead singer of Murder FM was at a personal & professional crossroads.



“I loved Murder FM. It was my identity. It’s who I was.” said Norman
Matthew.  “I loved those guys more than one can imagine. We had a
thousand ups and downs together. We traveled the world with our music.
Saw more miles than many will see in their lives, and we did it
together. We went through marriages, divorces, saw a man lose his in
front of us on tour. Obstacles were no stranger to us. Mistakes, I made
plenty. Music is my life. The road was the only place I ever felt like
home. It was the only time I truly recognized myself. But when worlds
collided on the road  in July 2016, already embroiled in chaos in my
personal life, I knew there was nothing more important than making sure
every breath I took, was for my son. I had to make a change. My son is
everything to me, and I needed to put that at the forefront of my life,
now more than ever”




At a time during the most vulnerable Norman had ever been, the song
he began writing for himself to express his emotions gave birth to his
most prolific work of his career to date. Musically and lyrically
transparent to a fault, His story began to tell itself through song.
“Waves”, the first single (Available 9.15/ Video 8.29) was one of the
first songs penned. The tale of a proverbial rebirth after being trapped
in the tidal waves of life. Feeling lost. Alone. A Stranger to
yourself. Watching life happen, as if someone else was living the life
you were meant to. A ghost with a heartbeat. Familiar faces, now so
unknown.  “Waves” signaled a stylistic change. Norman knew then, the
time was right to just let it all out.




“I had not written a song for myself in almost two years. I didn’t
know what to write. Or if I even knew how to write. I was lost,
confused. Scared. As a person I felt empty and blank. I didn’t know if I
would ever have the confidence to set foot on a stage ever again. I
made a conscious effort to do the exact opposite of what I would
normally do. I changed my workflow. Guitars I played, tunings I used.
For the first time, rather than speaking to the song, I let the song
speak to me. I had never written lyrics that were a parallel of my life.
Then I realized, I have a voice, and I need to be a voice for the
voiceless.  There HAS to be people that feel the same way I do, and
maybe I could make a difference, even in some small way. Things were
dark. Life was real. I couldn’t breathe. So I just opened my heart, and
let it all out. No shackles, no boundaries, no holds barred. I had
nothing left to prove, and everything to fight for. It was time to
reinvent myself if I was going to survive on every level.”


Through the turmoil, a new persona emerged. As Strange As Angels was
born. Norman Matthew wrote every note, penned every lyric, and performed
every instrument on the record. If I was going to be a solo endeavor,
Norman wanted it to be that way from top to bottom. The forthcoming
release features a musical aesthetic more versatile than any of Norman’s
previous catalogue. Bouncing electronic songs off the ears of Tommy
Lee. Writing a track with former bandmate Keith Barney of 18 visions.
Hitting the drawing board with close friend, CJ Pierce of Drowning Pool.
Mentored by platinum producer Beau Hill, Norman enlisted Chris Dawson
of Seasons after for mixing duties, and Mike Kalajian (Circa Survive,
Saosin) for mastering.

http://www.rogersalloom.com/

Music video for Roger Salloom’s “Don’t Let My Country Wash Away”. Shot, edited, and directed by Paul W. Preston (2017).


Roger Salloom has been called “America’s best unknown songwriter.” He
was in the center of the 1960s San Francisco pyschedelic scene, playing
the Fillmore with Santana, Van
Morrison, BB King and Procul Harum. In the 1970s he moved to Nashville
to pursue songwriting, then disappeared for 20 years to raise a family
as a single parent and draw a syndicated cartoon.



Imagine Jack Kerouac, John Belushi, Lord Buckley, Lenny Bruce, The
Diggers, and throw in Leadbelly, Jimmy Reed, Lonnie Johnson, Geoff
Muldaur, Dan Penn…all rolled into one person, and you have a glimpse of
this poet, singer-songwriter. Salloom performed with The Band, Steve
Forbert, Doc Watson, John Prine, to name a few.


A cross between blues, roots, Americana, country, and soul, Salloom
always speaks from his heart. He has a self-deprecating, humorous,
everyman quality, mixed with a powerful sensitivity and depth of
character.

Tyga - Move to L.A. (Official Video) ft. Ty Dolla $ign



From the project, "Bitch I'm the Shit 2".
Buy: https://empire.lnk.to/BitchImtheShit2

Official music video by Tyga ft. Ty Dolla $ign performing Move to L.A. (Official Video). 2017 Last Kings Music / EMPIRE



Tyga pulls up with Ty Dolla $ign for “Move to L.A.,” a mellow,
guitar-driven banger seemingly tailor-made for walking the beach on a
hot summer day. It features a sample from the Mase classic “Tell Me What
You Want.”




The new track, which is the first single from his forthcoming Bitch I’m The Shit follow-up Bitch I’m The Shit 2,
features casually confident bars from T-Raww and a hook with a clever
Ty Dolla $ign hook that finds a long way to tell a baddie they can “get
this work.” The Ty Dolla $ign part comes in after Tyga suggests his
prospective lady moves to L.A. It all works perfectly.





One day before the release of his latest mixtape Bitch I’m The Shit 2 (July
21), Tyga unveiled a visual to go with standout track “Move to L.A.”
featuring Ty Dolla $ign. The track, which samples Mase’s 1997 classic
“What You Want” with R&B group Total, also inspired the “Eye’s
Closed” rapper’s video, as the two Compton natives channel Mase and his
musical cohort, Diddy, to a tee.




Opening up with a skit from Tyga and model Yodit Yemane, “Move To
L.A.” focuses on the hip-hop artist persuading his love interest to
travel to the West Coast in hopes of making an appearance on the runway.
In an unusual twist from him, we see Tyga diddy bopping his way around
the set with a string of background dancers with moves that would make
Sean Combs undeniably proud, while also getting to view him and Ty
perform as they float in an indoor skydiving setting. The single, along
with the rest of Bitch I’m The Shit 2, has proven Tyga’s presence in hip-hop as one with longevity, and his growth is clearly indisputable.

Fat Joe - So Excited (Official Video) ft. Dre




Fat Joe is the rarest kind of rapper—a veteran who was making records
with Diamond D and the Beatnuts back when today’s stars were in
diapers, but who still competes on the pop charts with hit songs like
“All the Way Up” and his new smash, “So Excited.” He has a new video for
the latter, which you can watch above (if you’re on Tidal). The video,
directed by Gil Green, features helicopters, motorcycle chases, and DJ
Khaled giving a speech at a yacht club.




Fat Joe is no amateur when it comes to creating hit records, and with
the release of his newest single, “So Excited,” the Bronx rapper says
he hit a “home run” — and is looking to build on the momentum from his
“All The Way Up” success, hopefully securing a spot as a late Song of
the Summer contender.


“So Excited” was largely inspired by a recent visit to an LL Cool J
concert, where Fat Joe heard the DJ seamlessly transition from LL Cool
J’s “Doin It” to a sample of Dennis Edwards’ “Don’t Look Any Further,” a
sampling staple within the hip-hop community and a nostalgic track that made Joe reminisce about the days of old school rap.




“It’s such a classic, classic song,” he tells Billboard.
“Nobody touched that sample in a long time. So I wrote it down in my
notes and ran straight to the studio. I called Streetrunner and was like
‘Yo you gotta flip this, 2017, style because summer is almost coming —
this is a summer banger’.”




The loopy, hard-knocking production on “So Excited” comes courtesy of
Streetrunner, and features a mellow hook by Dre from production duo
Cool & Dre. Both Streetrunner and Cool & Dre are longtime
collaborators of Fat Joe, and have helped the Bronx rapper weave
together a string of hip-hop tracks, including “Take Me Home” (prod. By
Streetrunner) from Joe’s collective Terror Squad, and the monstrous,
Remy Ma-assisted “All The Way Up” (prod. By Cool & Dre).




When asked about his formula for crafting hit songs, Fat Joe says a
song needs to be “infectious and relatable, for ladies and men,” and
needs to create a vibe. “We have French’s “Unforgettable”, then we had
[DJ] Khaled with ‘Wild Thoughts,’ and I think this one fits right in
there. It gives you the end of summer vibe,” he says. “You just know it
when you got it.”


For the video, Fat Joe pays homage to the late The Notorious B.I.G.,
and recreates Biggie’s lavish “Hypnotize” video, from the yacht and
helicopters to the luxurious designer clothing. The video opens with a
yacht cruising the Hudson River, with New York City’s skyscrapers
serving as the backdrop for the visual. Fat Joe dons a silk
buttoned-down Hermes shirt with bikini-clad women and liquor surrounding
him, as his yacht is followed by a cluster of helicopters. Remy Ma and DJ Khaled also appear in the video.




“Biggie has been the logo for success, the logo for doing it big —
from popping champagne, the ladies, the fashion,” Joe explains. “So we
had to do it B.I.G. We’re talking silk Hermes, Ace of Spades [champagne]
spilling all over the place and diamonds. We brought the epitome of the
90s back.”

Junior - In Love wit da Money (Official Video)




Music video by Junior performing In Love wit da Money (Official). 2017 M.W.E. Music / Untouchable Records / EMPIRE


 
The late, great Biggie Smalls once penned one of the realest
statements in the world, “Mo’ Money, Mo Problems.” That couldn’t be more
true for the streets and Trey Songz’s newest artist, Junior, who
illustrates the saying vividly in the visuals to his new single, “In
Love With The Money.”
The video, directed by Bryan Alan, masterfully captures the essence
and lyrics of the song as it shows how some money Junior passed to a
neighborhood junkie continuously switches hands in the drug trade – ala
The Red Violin. This compelling piece reminds us that with dirty money
comes with dirty consequences. The “Best Friend” rapper spoke with VIBE
about the inspiration behind the record and how motivating it is for
hustlers everywhere when the video premiered: “The record came from a
really organic space that’s relatable to every tax bracket,” he
explains. “Feel good music that motivates your everyday grind and
encourages you to go out and get what you deserve!”
The song is now available on iTunes now.

Junior’s rise to stardom hasn’t come without hurdles. After losing
his birth father to violence before birth, a teenage mother who
disappeared, then being placed in foster care and growing up on the mean
streets of STL, one of the most dangerous cities in the country, the
young rapper known as Junior is no stranger to hardship.


“…I was in the foster system, and I didn’t get adopted until I was
six-years-old. So, it started off rough, but I was blessed. I got
adopted. A white family adopted me, and they got me playing sports,
stayed on me in school. They showed me what that side was like. What
it’s supposed to be like.”
Despite being taken in by a loving family, J.R. couldn’t resist the
allure of the streets. With that being the case, the future rapper
submerged himself into the sweltering and aggressive street life with
robberies, shootouts and other mischievousness.
Luckily, throughout all of the trials and tribulations, J.R. has
always had music. And back in 2014, he finally garnered national
attention when his up-tempo, yet gritty, “I’m Just Saying” hit radio
track. The song picked up more steam when Nelly and Tiffany Fox hopped
on the original remix. Then, crooner Trey Songz took notice of the
budding talent by reaching out to J.R. and inviting him on tour – “…the
most important thing is Trey’s guidance. Seeing how hard he has to work
during the tour, how late he stays up, how many days he stays up. He
takes a big role in mentoring me as far as how to handle certain
situations. It’s just a blessing to have him there.”


J.R. gained more notoriety after releasing his ‘Gang Season’ EP,
which showcases his knack for penning catchy hooks. In standout tracks
like “You See It,” “Today,” and “Gang Season,” shows J.R. talent for
scribing memorable songs, yet keeping that street edge to it. While the
Trey Songz-assisted “Best Friend” shows J.R.’s talent for waxing
radio-friendly songs alongside industry heavyweights, which to date has
seen over 5.6 million views on YouTube, the Midwest sensation quickly
becoming a fan favorite on the iTunes charts, holding 5 star ratings.


Now, with the release of “In Love Wit Da Money” touring with Trey,
appearances at SXSW and a new EP in the works, J.R. is changing the game
and stepping out of the shadows to prove that he’s here, he’s talented,
and you’ll want to rock with him going forward.

Nef The Pharaoh - Bling Blaow (Official Video) ft. Slimmy B (SOB x RBE)







Courtesy of Empire Distribution:




Few other rappers are receiving the kind of come-up that Nef the Pharaoh
is enjoying in 2017. Then again, few of Nef’s peers are putting in the
kind of work the Bay Area rapper is serving up. He’s fresh from
releasing The Chang Project, his fourth mixtape in two years, which itself is just a taster from his forthcoming debut album The Big Chang Theory. This is of course impressive, but really all one needs to hear to turn you into a Nef-stan is the music itself.




Look no further than a track like “Bling Blaow,” an ode to decadent
chains that is laced with one of the filthiest bass-line hooks of the
year. It also comes with a frenetically-paced music video (E-40 cameo
and all.



Following in the footsteps of the Bay Area legends, Nef the Pharoah
is making a big name for himself out of his hometown Vallejo. Starting
off as an unknown internet freestyler, Nef AKA Tonee Hayes was signed by
the NoCal Godather E-40 after “Big Tymin,” Nef’s NOLA Bounce tribute
blew up locally and countrywide. Pharoah got a huge look when YG and Ty
Dolla $ign remixed the track, taking his fame and credibility to the
next level. Since then, 2014’s “Bay Area Freshman of the Year” has
collaborated with the likes of Snoop Dogg, D.R.A.M., and Mistah F.A.B.
Fans of Vallejo’s next superhero anxiously await the big tymer’s debut
studio album.

Produced and Directed by David James
Actors: Mac Guerreiro, Teryn Macallan



FUF is a Sacramento-based band headed by David James, and is
launching it’s next single “Parachute”. Their upcoming release is on the
heels of the success of their last EP titled “What Dreams Are Made Of”,
whose songs landed multiple film and TV placements. The band won the
MTVu Freshman Five competition, and the music video for nationally
acclaimed single, “On The Water”. “On The Water” is one song that has
landed in countless commercials, cable and tv networks including
AT&T’s “The Mobile Movement” ad campaign and was the theme song for
‘All In With Laila Ali’, which aired nationally on CBS.  Other songs
placements have included Cougar Town, Billabong, Netflix, and Raw
Travel.


The new single “Parachute” comes with a music video directed and shot
by David James. The video touches on the unfortunate recent string of
suicides made public from rockstars like Chester Bennington of Linkin
Park and Chris Cornell.  Growing up, David was raised by a manic
depressive single mother where suicide was a recurring topic. He himself
was diagnosed with depression and was on prozac in high school and
still struggles occasionally with it. By a stroke of fate, when
searching for actors, he found Mac Guerriero. Mac played a role in the
recent Netflix original hit series “13 Reasons Why”. FUF is teaming up
with AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) and is putting on
a benefit show September 1st. More recently, after hearing FUF’s new
unreleased material, NBC commisoned David to write a theme song for
Sunday’s “The Today Show” currently in rotation. Summer 2017 : Fate
Under Fire continues releasing new covers and music videos, live
streaming ,touring the west coast and is currently signing a new
publishing deal with Luna Music.

Chicken Liquor - "Quince" (Official Music Video)



Official Music Video for Chicken Liquor's "Quince"

Straight out
of a warehouse on the Miami River, CHICKEN LIQUOR became buzzworthy
after getting shot outs from the likes of rock legends David Bowie ,
Jack White, and Neil Young. The band is a classic power trio with a
kick-you-in-the face sound and equally high voltage live show. Their
straight ahead tunes and ballsy attitude brings them directly to the
forefront of rock n' roll.

Lyrics: Sinking Further

I hear a voice that's calling out for me dead in the night
Its saying follow me
The smell of fear pollutes the air
And it's hard to breathe
And I can barley see
