Singer/songwriter Alyssa Berna was raised in San Antonio, Texas in a music-steeped household, and it definitely shows in her music. I think you’re going to love this YouTube sensation and up-and-coming star.
More about Alyssa:
After her videos caught the attention of super-star Pharrell, Alyssa signed to Star Trak Records and flew to London to record her debut with producer Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Train). Since then Alyssa has toured with Lifehouse and recorded a duet with lead singer Jason Wade, which is featured on the album along with singles “Cali Cali Cali” and “Soaking Up the Sun.”
Alyssa Bernal’s debut album Love Hangover is now available digitally.
Download the album on iTunes and Amazon, and get updates – and her latest cover videos, like Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” – at AlyssaBernal.com.
Here’s Adele’s Someone Like You, and yes… as a matter of fact, I did just post an Adle music video. What can I say, I could listen to this remarkable voice for hours on end.
Blending together rhythmic pop, urban and electronic music, the duo, speakers, are taking over the clubs this Fall with their infectious club track, Bass. Go behind-the-scenes with speakers, made up of singer/rapper/lyricist Keon B. and producer Blair, on the set of Bass for a sneak peek at the revealing music video.
The official video for Bass will premiere later this week on VEVO. In the meantime, find out more about speakers on their official site, Facebook, and Twitter.
More About speakers:
Bold and insistently experimental, the sound of speakers dances amid the worlds of rhythmic pop, urban, and electronic music — the result of the restless imagination of its creators: singer, rapper, and lyricist Keon B and musician-producer Blair Taylor. The duo began working together last fall and decided to label their collaboration speakers because “you can’t hear the music without speakers,” explains Keon. Adds Blair: “And you need two, a left and a right. We are not one without the other.” The chemistry between these two artists, both age 21, is palpable throughout the tracks they are creating for their debut album, which will be released by Virgin Records, in conjunction with independent label Newco (where the duo were first discovered by Troy Carter and Matt Michelsen), in early 2012. Songs like “Bass,” “Gimme Go,” and “Kill Me” are massive party anthems, replete with big hooks and persistently pounding beats that draw from the high energy “bounce” sound that originated in Blair’s hometown of New Orleans. Now based in Los Angeles, the duo have been feverishly writing and recording. “What motivates us is trying to figure out how to communicate,” Keon says. “We were given this ability and we want to use it to help change people’s lives.”
One of my favorite bands of all-time is The Rolling Stones. The music, the showmanship, the lyrics, the timeless songs – there’s nothing about this band I don’t love madly. Fellow fanatics, enjoy the Rolling Stones posters and videos. If you aren’t a fanatic, pay closer attention. You’ll get there.
At this moment, if I had to listen to one song every day for the rest of my life, it’d be Skyscraper by Demi Lovato… and I’d pray for two lifetimes. Demi’s powerful vocals and emotion make this a very, very special song and video.
Keep it coming, Demi. This music blog may just be your biggest fan.
This is certainly Pia Toscano’s time – the 22-year-old singer recently announced a record deal with Interscope and the release of her debut single “This Time,” and this week premiered the track’s official music video. Head over to PiaToscanoOfficial.com to see the clip and to download the video for free from iTunes. The single version of “This Time” is still on sale at the digital retailer for only $0.69.
We Music blog writers often spew cheesy accolades on up and coming artists (sure thing, can’t miss, the total package, next big thing, future household name, yada yada yada). I’m trying to avoid all of those, because I’ve been as guilty as anyone of using them – and I give myself a headache each time I do.
HOWEVER, sometimes these descriptions are the only thing that’ll fit! Pia Toscano has so much going on for her, and (as far as I can see) absolutely nothing going against her. I think she has a great future (uh oh, there’s another one) and I can’t wait to see it all unfold. We wish her nothing but huge fame, multiple platinum records, video awards, magazine covers, and worldwide phenomena.
