Alela Diane - White As Diamonds [Video] [Streaming]

“White As Diamonds” is taken from the forthcoming album “To Be Still” (16th Feb), the follow-up to Alela Dianes critically-acclaimed 2006 debut The Pirates Gospel which brought the Nevada City, CA-reared musician a passionate following across the Globe especially in Europe where Alela's built a huge fan base.

Listen to the track here.

Here's the video to Alela Diane's "White As Diamonds"


Recorded in Nevada City and Portland, Ore., it’s a gorgeous sonic expansion of her sparse debut, featuring pedal steel, violin and rustic percussion, with lyrics tangled up in brambles and foxtails and wind-whipped sea cliffs. From the woozy folk flourishes of opener “Dry Grass & Shadows,” to the heart-shattering final track, “Lady Divine”

“It began in Portland, OR and was finished in scatters between tours at my dad’s home studio in Nevada City, CA,” Alela says. “I wanted to record this collection of songs using arrangements which would represent them in their finest form. These songs requested more instrumental filigree than those on The Pirate’s Gospel. It was challenging to delicately yet purposefully incorporate instrumentation into songs that I was so used to singing by myself. I was determined to make it work, because I wanted percussion! I wanted to hear the lonesome bow of the violin! I heard many harmonies in my head, and so I set out to capture them.”

This fantastic new album comes hot on the heels of the Headless Heroes album The Silence of Love which Alela contributed vocals for and has gained much critical acclaim, as well as thousands of new fans!

Alela Diane UK Live dates:

25th March - The Sage, Gateshead

26th March - ABC2, Glasgow

27th March - The Deaf Institue, Manchester

29th March - Howard Assembly Room, Leeds

30th March - St Giles Church, London (SOLD OUT)

Praise for Alela Diane's debut "The Pirates Gospel"
"Your album of the year, you just haven't heard it yet" The Guardian

Video 2 of 3 for Ryan Leslie's "How It Was Supposed To Be" (Military Version)
Starring & Co-Directed by Tyson Beckford

Says Ryan:
"So much to write about this video. First, I had a concept that I shared with Shiv and the two of us fine tuned it into a treatment. I shopped it to some directors and when they told me how much they expected it to cost ($200K), I decided to direct it myself to give my staff an incredible learning experience. Two weeks into the planning and production process, I ran into Tyson Beckford at the G-star fashion show and invited him to direct the video with me. I could write a book about the production of this video - scripting, rehearsal, styling, filming, editing, sound design, color-correction…"

Max Morgan - Who The Hell Is He? [News] [Streaming]

Few brand-new artists hear their yet-to-be-released songs on TV's most-watched programs. Introducing Max Morgan, a 22-year-old British rocker, hailing from Liverpool, England and currently residing in southern California.

With his debut album 'Interrupting The Silence' coming out March 31st from Chime Entertainment, Morgan had his song "Secret" featured in a pivotal moment on Grey's Anatomy last month, and a second track titled "Ya Better Believe" on the NFL Network show 'Rewind,' which aired all last week. On Thursday, January 29th, listen for "Loneliest Man In The World" (also from Morgan's forthcoming CD) on ABC's prime time hit Private Practice (airing at 10 pm/9 CST)

'Interrupting The Silence' is a potent collection of up-tempo pop anthems and piano driven sing-along ballads. Produced by Marc Tanner (Aerosmith, Madonna) 'Silence' owes its versatility to Morgan's appreciation of working-class rock on both sides of the Atlantic. With influences from George Michael to Guns 'N Roses, Max delivers the showmanship and swagger of a frontman not seen in years.

"How It Was Supposed To Be" is one of the most personal songs on my album and for my live performances, I arranged this guitar driven version to capture the angst and confusion that I was going through when I recorded it. The response was so crazy at my show in Chicago that we played the song twice in a row to an engaged, enthusiastic audience.

Based on this reaction, I decided to record this version and have Guillaume Doubet visually interpret it. Here is the gritty result with Brent Paschke on guitar, Eric Coomes on bass, and Brad Colton on drums."

Colin Munroe - Piano Lessons [Single] [Video]

In a time when iPod playlists shuffle through limitless genres, Toronto native Colin Munroe breaks through with a sound so diverse that praise is heaped on him from hip-hop heads and pop-rock devotees alike. Today, Pitchfork.tv premieres the video for “Piano Lessons” directed by Philip Sportel. It’s the latest in a string of innovative videos from one of the most versatile artists in the game.

As heard on the acclaimed mixtape Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero (free download here: http://www.onsmash.com/unsunghero/), “Piano Lessons” features the production skills of accomplished Detroit artist Black Milk and a verse from lauded Brooklyn MC Joell Ortiz. Additional favorites from hip-hop’s modern day movement also make appearances on the mixtape including Wale, Blaqstarr, Mickey Factz and Drake.

But don’t let the fact that Colin released a mixtape fool you; he leaves the rapping to the MC’s. A testament to his assorted taste, Unsung Hero also features a revox of Bob Dylan’s “Who Killed Davey Moore” and a cover of U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday.”

Colin is currently putting the final touches on his debut album, Don’t Think Less of Me, due this spring via Universal Motown.

Soulja Boy - Launches Animated Web Series [News] [Video]


Los Angeles, CA – On heels of releasing his sophomore album “iSouljaBoyTellem”, platinum recording artist Soulja Boy Tell Em will launch an animated web series via his latest video for the song “Soulja Boy Tell Em”. The video and the series, which will follow in late January, will combine live action and animation.

After initially being discovered and making a name for himself through his YouTube video for the song “Crank That (Soulja Boy)”, which was #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for seven weeks, it was only a matter of time until the artist decided to return to the internet with something groundbreaking.

"I always wanted to do a cartoon since I was younger,” said Soulja Boy Tell Em from his hometown of Batesville, Mississippi. “I am excited because I think that the subject matter will give my fans what they would expect from me. “

The show titled “Soulja Boy Tell Em: The Animated Series” follows an animated Soulja who is in midst of enjoying his hip-hop superstardom when he’s suddenly forced to return to High School. Soulja, with the help of his animated friends, is continually doing whatever he can to get out of his daily school routine. The school’s principal, played by a live action Alfonso Ribiero (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) is always hot on Soulja’s heels to keep him in line.

Rather than bringing this series to a traditional network, Soulja partnered with his label Collipark/Interscope Records and will premiere the series via his website www.souljaboytellem.com.

“Soulja Boy is one of the most charismatic artists of his generation,” said Brian Washington, Marketing Director for Interscope Records. “His ability to speak to his fans and, just as importantly, the way in which he does so, makes him such an innovator in how music and entertainment is consumed and discovered today.”

Additionally, Buddy System Studios, who previously worked on Robot Chicken, are tackling the animation meets live action production duties for the series.
