Music Monday: Emeli Sandé

23 Apr

It is Music Monday and what a day it is going to be.  If you are not familiar with Emeli Sandé consider this your notice.  The Scottish singer-songwriter has one amazing voice and should become a household name in the States pronto.  Besides rising to acclaim in the UK as a solo artist, Sandé has written songs for the likes of Leona Lewis, Susan Boyle, Tinie Tempah and is featured on Wiley’s “Never Be Your Woman.”

Her album, Our Version Of Events is slated for US release on June 5 but if you pop over to the UK iTunes site you should be able to get your hands on the album!

She’s got shows in NYC (April 24, June 4) and Chicago (May 30) before supporting Coldplay on their Summer Tour.  Get your tickets and don’t miss the chance to see this talent!

Here’s “Next To Me” a song that I’m guessing will be a heatseeker on the Billboard charts very soon.

Just Released: Lollapalooza 2011 Line-up

26 Apr

Lollapalooza released the 20th anniversary line-up today and while there are definitely a handful of artists making the summer festival rounds, I think they did a great job when you look at the line-up from top to bottom.  Eminem, Foo Fighters, Coldplay and Muse as your headliners are definitely four big ones you can’t argue.  Now personally as I contemplate making the trip, I’m excited about so many of these bands and quite frankly too many to list but (and trying to take out the artists I’m planning to see at Bonnaroo) Ween, Crystal Castles, Local Natives, The Kills, White Lies, Two Door Cinema Club, Delta Spirit, Sleigh Bells and Chicago’s own Smith Westerns.  Plus Fitz & The Tantrums, Noah & The Whale, Tinie Tempah, The Vaccines, Foster The People, The Naked and Famous, Friendly Fires, Young The Giant, The Joy Formidable, Afrojack, Collie Buddz, Pretty Lights and a whole lot more.  August 5-7 in one of the greatest cities in the world should be quite the music scene.  At $215.00 for three days of an insane amount of music, seems like a heck of a deal to me.

Full line-up below.

Awesome Video of DJ Ross One with Jay-Z & Kanye West

3 Jan

Check out this video from them too productions at the opening of Marquee Nightclub at Cosmopolitan Las Vegas on NYE; looks like it was quite the evening.  While Erick Morillo was doing his thing in the main room, DJ Ross One was dropping the beats for Jay-Z, Kanye, Rihanna & Co. downstairs in the Boombox Room.

And please do yourself a favor, if you’re not familiar with Ross One you best change that immediately.

Roc Boys……L’Chaim!

One more thing, Marquee LV is over 60,000 sq. ft. of nightclub you want to party at, trust me on this.
