Press Release

By amante4prez, 2007-07-02

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tresor Kabundi Redd Clayy Entertainment Please email us if you would Like our mailing address 678-344-9729/ 678-608-9675/ 770-780-5943/ 770-982-2778 www.myspace.com/amante4prez REDD CLAYY ENTERTAINMENT ARTIST AMANTE RELEASES FIRST EP Atlanta, Ga.  May 17, 2007 Redd Clayy Entertainment is pleased to announce their newest release by recording artist Amante’. Titled “STREET POLITIKS: THE PREQUEL”, the CD is for the preservation of Hip-Hop and Generation X. Today, the EP will be released in order to satisfy Amante’s fans who can not wait for the release of his mixtape titled, “STREET POLITIKS Vol. 1: AMANTE 4 PREZ”. The EP is filled with smooth, clear vocals, superior lyrics, and catchy hooks mixed with rhythmic blues and hot beats. Amante’ may be best described as “2pac meets Outkast” or “Ice Cube meets Tribe Called Quest”. ”STREET POLITIKS: THE PREQUEL” proves that Hip-Hop still lives and that speaking about real issues can be marketable.  Amante' constructed the album as if it were a message in the movement to bring real Hip-Hop music back. Due to redundant materialistic songs, which do not speak to the average person, Hip-Hop has become quite stagnant. In response to this reality, Amante’ says, “I wanted my music to reflect the struggle of the average day to day person, but at the same time realistically show how we manage to have fun despite our struggle.”  The CD is composed of a variety of songs that are universal, and reflect a variety of moods for a plethora of listeners. Social and political issues are among some of the subject matters covered through songs such as, “Southern Poetry” and “By Any Means”. Amante’ infuses a few party tracks in the CD in order to showcase how a good time can still be had, despite the many political and social issues we face. He does this through songs such as. “Back 2 Da Basics” and “Get It In”.  “THE PREQUEL” is just the first chapter of Amante’s campaign trail to become Hip-Hop’s President. It will be preceded by a three volume mixtape series in sync with his campaign. After Amante’s election victory, his album titled, “The Speech”, will be released in November 2008. Cast your ballots and VOTE AMANTE 4 PREZ! To purchase a CD or to obtain updates on upcoming concerts and reviews, go to www.myspace.com/amante4prez.

<a href="/members/120/blog_219.php" target="_blank">Anna C. Nova,</a>
<img style="width: 116px; height: 136px;" src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image001.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="116" height="136" align="left" />Russian singer, songwriter, performer and producer (who has been called “the best and most famous producer of the international level in Russia&rdquo is a household name in her hometown of Saratov, Russia, (an old city of two million, on the Volga, 400 miles southeast of Moscow and 200 miles north of Volgograd, whose climate resembles Chicago’s) where her artists regularly perform to standing ovations, win music competitions, and receive half-page articles in the local paper. What is unique about the bilingual Nova is that she writes and sings music in English, and her style is international, not traditional Russian. She also performs electronic music and makes recordings with her artists at her own award-winning studio in Saratov, near the apartment where she has always lived, and shares with her mother and seven cats.
<img src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image002.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="128" height="87" align="baseline" /><img src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image003.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="125" height="87" align="baseline" /><img src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image004.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="58" height="86" align="baseline" /> Nova at home (L); Saratov and the Volga (c) and Saratov’s Troitsky (Trinity) Cathedral
 Her first CD, Paradise, which she sings herself, received attention from noted producers Luis Rodriguez and Dieter Bohlen in Germany, and was 1st on the “Music in Demand” chart in Germany in 2002 for 16 weeks (Britney Spears was #8!).
 <img src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image005.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="92" height="93" align="baseline" /><img src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image006.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="30" height="93" align="baseline" />
Nova quickly attracted other young artists and wrote and produced and recorded music to help them launch their careers. The result was a series of singles sung by other artists including “Where is my Santa”, a whimsical Christmas song that received great reviews, and was loved in Saratov, where the Russian audience did not know the words but still asked for repeated encores. “We need a clone of Anna” said artist R-Oxolana—“no one else can do as many things as she does, or do so much work. She is a fanatic.” Nova works at her art 6 days a week, until 10pm each night. Despite Paradise’s success, Nova’s real joy is developing talents of other Russian artists. “I don’t make a star” she says, “I build the real artist.”

Nova’s next step was to start “musical bridge”, a project to make Russian artists known in the West, which attracted the interest of Goettel Publishing, a Santa Monica company owned by Jim Goettel. He met her by accident—he asked her about another Russian song that intrigued him, and she emailed him that she too had some interesting music. Jim was skeptical—he had just been with another company whose owner promised huge success from his artist friends, but which failed. He listened to her demo, however, and was impressed. “Nova can write anything. Paradise is pop with classical elements; there is a hip hop song, ‘Out of Self Control’ and pop songs with dance and electronic elements. There is just enough Euro pop flavor to make it distinctive. And the lyrics are powerful. In addition, she already had success in Russia and Germany, and should do even better in the USA where people speak English.” He then shared the songs with other music professionals and “got awesome comments, like the head of SESAC telling me that Nova is the European Madonna/Britney Spears, or a review calling her ‘my new dance diva,’and I had friends assuring me she would be successful, even after witnessing the prior company fail.”

Anna, in turn, was impressed by Jim (who had traveled to Russia) knew some Russian. “Anna is easy to please—just say something in Russian! Russian with an American accent is amusing, for some reason” Jim said, adding that the accents of Anna and her artists “are also amusing at times.” Together they formed the record label Nova Songs, and released “Best of Nova,” a compilation of songs from Nova’s artists and a website, www.novasongs.com. More recently, Nova’s artists have released 3 singles, most notably the inspiring “(You’ll Be) Mine” by Elena Cherkasova, which is soaring up internet charts.

Versatility and originality are Nova’s strength. The music is full of hooks, and the artists have impressive voices. But classifying it was a dilemma. “Out of Self Control” is described as hip hop by pop artists, pop by hip hop artists; Paradise is described by Nova as “pop with classical elements” but others call it electronic or too original to categorize. The new songs are called 70s club music by some people, electronic by others, and some even called it Euro pop, a label Nova wants to avoid. “Where is My Santa”, in a review giving it 5 stars, was called “a crazy song in the best sense of the word.” “That is why I really love ‘(You’ll Be) Mine’” says Jim, “it’s a perfect upbeat pop ballad that reminds people of Irene Cara’s fame or Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” or other great pop songs. It sounds like it came from an American pop icon.” Adding to the confusion was that Nova looks like a glamorous model, not a serious producer, as do some of her artists. “I get people saying ‘I knew Russian (or Eastern European) women were beautiful, but I didn’t know they were so talented’” Jim adds. “Well, now they do!” He noted that Nova simply wants to be a great musical producer. “She isn’t spoiled or self-centered. She just loves music” says Jim.
 <img style="width: 133px; height: 98px;" src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image014.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="133" height="98" align="baseline" /><img src="http://musicrush.com/webmag/images/image015.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="132" height="98" align="baseline" /> Multi (L), which performed “Where is My Santa, and Roxylight, which performed “Out of Self Control 
 Nova is currently having her music promoted online on sites like Musicrush.com and seeking American artists to collaborate with. This will give her and her artists a chance to tour the USA and make Russian artists known in America, and vice versa. Though she has been to Western Europe, Nova and her artists have never been to the USA. “We would love to visit the USA—the people seem so funny!” - says Nova with a smile. –“seriously, I think American people are very flexible, easygoing and opened to everything new and progressive. Progressive way of working is my style, that’s why I’m sure that collaboration with American artists can bring us new ideas and success”. In the meantime, she will be writing more music. New singles by Dasha and Elena Cherkasova are planned, and Nova Songs may re-release Paradise in the USA. In the meantime, sample her music online!

Feddy is here on MusicRush

By feddy, 2007-06-30

“…eclectic genius & unsung alternative Russian superstar are easily bantered about. The former member of "Begemot" has drawn out a path of musical creative originality, that is utterly a stylistic journey of individualism that is rarely seen in todays post modern music circles.” “Feddy Lavrov is a musical visionary who crosses through the boundaries of alternative pop & rock models whilst combining flashes of emo post punk industrial brilliance. To say that Feddy Lavrov is under rated is an understatement. A truly gifted songwriter & modern artist of uncanny creative powers & magnetic musical intrigue. Feddy Lavrov is a musical enigma of the 21st century. No one can feel that he is a stranger when listening to the singular vision & genius of Feddy Lavrov's music.” United Global Artists ------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDDY is a brand new band from St.Petersbourg, Russia ------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDDY is: Feddy – voc., gt., bass, keyb., dr, programming, mixing, soundrecording and producing, design live Feddyband: Anton – bass Kirill – drums ------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDDY Style might be described as ROCK’N’RAVE.

By chammusic, 2007-06-27

Producer John Leckie:(George Harrison, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Stone Roses, Radiohead, Muse)  "It is a good classy product and it sounds professional. I particularly liked 'Don't wake the Dragon' with the flute line.” Jo Harrison:(Abbey Road Studios, BBC Music Live, DAT Productions) “These are fantastic tracks. It was a nice mixture of jazz and other modern styles and the production was excellent. “ Felix Cemmell :(reviewer / contributor to ‘The Wire’ magazine) “His tracks all have a recognisable style, a style that seems to be quite unique to him — a hard thing to achieve. “ "I really enjoyed this CD and I think that it is probably one of the best things I've heard…. I liked all the tracks. “  <table border="0" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="0" class="MsoNormalTable" align="right" style="margin: auto -2.25pt"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: transparent; border: #ece9d8; padding: 0cm"> </td></tr></tbody></table>Jona Lewie :(‘Ivor Novello’ award-winning songwriter) "This music is quite liberated from convention. “ “I particularly enjoyed the intros because they were leading into tracks which were quite distinctively different. “

So this is pretty neat...

By Danny_B, 2007-06-27

So i just made this site today.  For those that don't know I'm Danny B!  I play soulfull, jazzy, power pop styled rock n roll with some modern day punk rock influence.  I've played in the local Atlanta band The Love Drunks, and pulled a 6 year stint with the local punk act The Rotten Apples.  I'm currently in the studio working on finishing my first release, Crashing St. Valentines.  It's probably the best thing you've ever heard.  It's definatly one step closer to world domination, and two steps backward in time.  I've got some myspace pages that you can go visit, here's the links: www.myspace.com/dannybondagemusicwww.myspace.com/citykidrecordswww.myspace.com/rock_n_roll_holocaust check it out.  lemme know what you think of the song i have up.  more will follow shortly. This is the only entry that will ever be any kind of an update.  The next one will probably relate to juggling chainsaws or time travel or something cool like that.
