JACKSON WANG SOPHOMORE ALBUM MAGIC MAN OUT NOW

WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BLUE” HERE

 

 

Singer, performer and producer Jackson Wang’s sophomore album MAGIC MAN is out today September 9th via TEAM WANG records/88rising Records/Warner Records/RYCE MUSIC GROUP. The album features 10 tracks including the newly released “Blue” and previously released “Blow” and “Cruel,” both of which were described as having “a dark and plodding swagger” by People.

Produced by Jackson Wang, Daryl K, and Henry Cheung, MAGIC MAN finds Jackson at his most vulnerable – operating under the laws of mystery, temptation, and confusion.

Zsara Releases Her Own Version of Classic City Pop Song, "Mr. Disco"

After bagging Best Dance Recording Artist in the 34th Awit Awards in 2021 for her debut single "G na G", Zsara is finally back with her second release under PolyEast Records. This time, she takes on her own version of the 70s hit song "Mr. Disco", a song that has stood the test of time.

An all-around performer who can act, dance, and sing, the 26-year-old Zsara Tiblani is a passionate talent that you absolutely shouldn't overlook. After a short stint with a popular local girl group, she is here to make a name for herself. Of course, this already proves to be true with "G na G", an award-winning single with 6,000 streams on Spotify and 14,000 views on PolyEast's YouTube channel.

Now, Zsara is also claiming the 1979 hit "Mr. Disco" as her own. Adding a playful sound to it, the song will surely leave you dancing and grooving to the music. Not only that, she even starred in the official music video alongside Albert Nicolas A.K.A Asian Cutie, an online sensation and content creator.

Alex Bruce showcases her versatility as a singer-rapper on R&B-leaning single “Ayoko Pa”

Over slick beats and boppy melodies, the young Filipina artist expresses her decision to take her time before entering in a relationship

Alex Bruce fexes her versatility in “Ayoko Pa,” a top-tier R&B jam produced by frequent collaborator Cursebox.

Over a bed of slick beats and boppy melodies, the 15-year-old artist calls out her suitor for coming off way too strong, and emphasizes her decision to wait for love at the right time.

“It’s a song that expresses my stand on not being ready for a commitment,” says the trend-setting singer-rapper. “I know my priorities, and I don’t reject people just because I don’t feel a connection or synergy. It’s just that I’m too young to enter into a relationship that would easily fizzle out.”

Reiterating her right to be treated with respect, the music virtuoso from Batangas sees this aggressive action as a red flag for most women. Bruce reflects, “Sometimes all it takes is knowing when to take a hint. When someone says no, learn how to respect the decision and back off.”

ASLOVE RELEASES TECH-HOUSE THE TURTLES REWORK TRACK “ME & U”

 

Out now via Helix Records

Buy/Stream “Me & U” HERE

Watch official Visualizer HERE

 

Marking the beginning of his next chapter in the self-defined world of “Hippie House,” Aslove releases the first single, “Me & U,” from his upcoming EP “Get Around” via Helix Records- a tech-house rework of the iconic track "Happy Together" by The Turtles.

 

“Me & U” inventively flips the hook of its sample to fit in Aslove’s self-defined realm of hippy house. The tech house beat builds against the heavily filtered vocal to produce a funky dance track that asks the listener to “imagine” through a complementary dream-like soundscape.

 

French DJ/producer Aslove is widely known for his reworks of tracks such as “Feel Good Inc” by the Gorillaz and “Put Your Records On” by Corinne Bailey Rae, accumulating more than 50 million streams. With a name inspired by Jimi Hendrix’s LP “Axis: Bold As Love,” this DJ and multi-instrumentalist producer found the balance between club energy and pop melody. His upcoming EP “Get Around” will feature a wide array of modern reworks of classics from the 60s and 70s.

 

“Me & U” is available to stream on all platforms here, with a Visualizer on YouTube.

‘DIRT FEMME’ (ALBUM)

 

Multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY® Award nominated artist Tove Lo is back today with the official music video for ‘2 Die 4’, the latest single off her highly anticipated fifth studio album DIRT FEMME, out October 14th via Pretty Swede Records/mtheory.

 

Watch the Anna-Lisa Himma-directed music video for ‘2 Die 4’ HERE.

 

Speaking about the new video, Tove reveals, "We wanted to make a pop bitch y2k experience. With all the choreo, the outfits, the wetness. I think we more than delivered.”

 

An irresistible and undeniable club banger, ‘2 Die 4’ has both fans and press alike gushing, with PAPER hailing the track “a spectacular shot of adrenaline in pop song form,” and leading Pitchfork to laud Tove as “a brutally consistent marksman,” and NYLON to proclaim, “Tove Lo’s singlehandedly reviving Eurodance.”

 

The iconic track samples the equally iconic ‘Popcorn’ hook, originally released by Hot Butter in 1972, and marks Tove’s first time ever incorporating a sample. Speaking about the song, she explains, “With ‘2 Die 4’ I wanted ‘instantly iconic’ energy. I've never sampled anything before, and this feels like the perfect first moment. Lyrically I wanted it to be that ‘pick me up when I'm feeling down’ song. At first, it's like a warm hug, then you shake it off, let out a scream and start dancing!”

 

Listen to ‘2 Die 4’ HERE.

 

‘2 Die 4’ serves as the follow up to ‘True Romance,’ a powerful and emotionally-wrought ballad, featuring some of her most impressive vocal work to date, with The FADER heaping on the praise, stating “Dancefloor catharsis is no longer the endgame in this gorgeous ballad,” and adding “Tove Lo delivers one of the best vocal performances of her career,” and Billboard proclaiming “with a pulsing beat and muted synth-line, Lo lets her voice ring out like a trumpet,” and saying “’True Romance’ should absolutely be the next thing on your playlist.” Listen to ‘True Romance’ HERE and watch the accompanying visualizer HERE.

 

This spring, Tove Lo released ‘No One Dies From Love,’ which saw its late-night television debut on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers. The track already boasts an impressive 31 MILLION+ GLOBAL STREAMS. Watch the official music video HERE.

 

Following a jam-packed summer of touring and festivals, which included rousing sets at Governors Ball in New York City, Bonnaroo in Tennessee, Float Fest in Texas and Lollapalooza in Chicago, Tove Lo heads off to Australia and New Zealand next month for a series of shows down under followed by a UK, European and Scandinavian tour with special guest Miya Folick.
