NUEVO ALBUM DE JESSY J MY ONE AND ONLY ONE DEBUTA EN EL TOP 5 DE LA LISTA BILLBOARD CONTEMPORARY JAZZ

29vh_JJChair52002

“Sensual…Sentimental… Irresistible.. Increíble.” –Smooth Jazz Monthly “Empujando las barreras del Jazz.” –Jazziz

Los Angeles, 8 de junio del 2015 – La super estrella del Smooth jazz y virtuosa saxofonista y compositora Jessy J continua rompiendo barreras con su mas reciente trabajo discográfico My One and Only One debutando en el Top 5 de la lista Billboard Contemporary Jazz en su primer semana de lanzamiento. Su mas nueva colección de maestras composiciones e interpretaciones mezclan perfectamente géneros musicales de alrededor del mundo en una fusion que orgullosamente continua avanzando el nivel de un instrumento y un género que ya cuentan con predecesores considerados entre los mejores músicos de toda la historia.

Inspirado por sus viajes a Cuba y al África y producido por el ganador del Grammy Paul Brown, My One and Only One también cuanta con la participación de supremos invitados musicales como el tecladista ganador del Premio Grammy Gregg Karukas. El primer sencillo “Tango Boy” continua escalando las listas de radio y la perfecta fusion de Jazz y Son Cubano “Paraíso Mágico” es actualmente una favorita en la radio y television Latina. Lo más destacado del álbum incluye las sensibles interpretaciones de canciones como “Lovesong” de Adele, “You’re Making Me High” de Toni Braxton, el clásico del género R&B “Strawberry letter 23” y siete canciones originales más. 

Jessy J cuenta que la ética de trabajo que sus padres le han enseñado ha sido lo mas importante en el desarrollo su carrera. Justo después de su presentación tributo al Día del Padre este 20 de junio en el legendario Club de Jazz Spaghettinni’s en Los Angeles, Jessy J viajará con su padre continuando una tradición anual hacia su nativa Sinaloa, Mexico, donde es uno de  los líderes y esta a cargo de cargar la estatua de San Juan, el santo del pueblo, durante las fiestas tradicionales. También como parte de su gira que empieza este mes, Jessy J será la principal actuación en unos de los festivales de jazz mas importantes del mundo como el Cancun Jazz festival y el Caribbean Sea Jazz en Aruba este agosto y septiembre.

La saxofonista, vocalista y cantautora Jessy J es una de las estrellas más brillantes en la escena del Smooth Jazz. En sus trabajos anteriores, su combinación de extraordinarios talentos musicales y emocionantes presentaciones en vivo le han dado varios #1 en las emisoras de Smooth Jazz, un #1 en la lista Billboard de Contemporary Jazz, premios ‘Canción del año’ en Billboard y R&B, y hasta formo parte de la edición de “Los 50 Más Bellos” de People en Español. También se presenta frente a millones como la saxofonista en el programa de televisión The Voice y también ha grabado y salido de gira con actos musicales gigantes como Aerosmith y Michael Bolton.

Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts rocked it at Napa Valley’s BottleRock Music Festival this past Saturday, May 30. Read some of the stellar reviews about their performance below, and see them at the El Rey, Los Angeles, June 6. 

 “…Weiland was strutting around the stage like he owned it and hitting all his notes.” Billboard   

“Scott Weiland was back, this time with The Wildabouts. Cloaked in no shortage of controversy and Spinal Tap-esque headlines. No worries, though, this time they sang “Vasoline” proper, doing his STP thing. The crowd approved.” Stark Insider 

“(…) the frontman strutted all over the stage with his new band The Wildabouts and — much to the crowd’s delight — did a set list of half Stone Temple Pilots songs…” Billboard

“(…) Scott Weiland made his presence felt with his latest band, Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts. Shades of every project he was ever a part of came through the music, and without question, they have been the hardest-hitting, pure rock band on the lineup.” Napa Valley Register

Avicii Unveils 360 Video for “Waiting For Love” from Upcoming Stories Album

AVICII UNVEILS 360 VIDEO FOR “WAITING FOR LOVE” TRACK FROM UPCOMING STORIES ALBUM DUE OUT LATER THIS YEAR

FANS CAN TOGGLE AROUND THE SET OF THE VIDEO WHICH WAS DIRECTED BY KURT HUGO SCHNEIDER

29vh_PhotocredJamesMinchin_1

In a message to fans, Avicii has unveiled an interactive 360-degree video for his new single, “Waiting For Love,” just a week after releasing the heartwarming animated lyric video for the same track. Directed by Kurt Hugo Schneider, the video features Avicii joined by a troupe of incredible dancers who jump in and out of doors in the warehouse constructed on the YouTube campus earlier this month. Fans can maneuver around the set with a toggle set into the screen – but prepare to get dizzy as the dancers and the jump cameras work their magic.

“Waiting for Love,” released globally last week on PRMD Music/Island Records, was written and produced by Avicii, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, Simon Aldred and Martin Garrix and features the powerful vocals of UK-based artist Cherry Ghost, aka Simon Aldred. The catchy and radio-friendly vibe of “Waiting for Love” should be a festival favorite this summer during Avicii’s ambitious tour schedule (see below). “Waiting for Love” is from Avicii’s forthcoming album STORIES, due out later this year. 

iTunes / Spotify / Google Play / Amazon  

Last month, Avicii and Volvo Cars, two of Sweden’s most influential brands, launched their collaboration on a new brand campaign which features Avicii’s reworking of the classic song Feeling Good. The music video for Feeling Good was filmed on location in Stockholm and Osterlen, southern Sweden in places of personal significance for Avicii and tells his own story of renewal, following several years of hard touring.

About Avicii:

In 2011, Avicii reached critical mass with the global success of “Le7els,” which became a No. 1 dance hit in the U.S. and the U.K. and sold four million tracks worldwide. It topped the charts in six other territories, went top 10 in many more, and garnered Bergling his second Grammy nomination. Other hits brought a much-publicized remix of Madonna’s “Girl Gone Wild.” In 2013, Avicii won his first American Music Award (for Favorite Electronic Dance Music Artist) and his first MTV Europe Music Award (EMA) (for Best Electronic Artist). 

In 2014 Avicii cemented his place in the firmament of superstar recording artist/DJ’s with the success of his genre-defying debut album, True, on PRMD Records. The album not only satisfied the 26-year-old Swede’s restless creative urge to push musical boundaries, it also upped the ante on what dance music could be by blending the earthy sounds of folk, country, and bluegrass with soaring pop melodies, funky disco jams, and driving house beats. True spawned the 4x-platinum guitar-laden stomper “Wake Me Up,” which hit No. 1 in 81 countries and became the most streamed song of all time on Spotify (over 300 million plays) and the No. 1 most Shazamed song worldwide, while racking up 2.6 billion international streams and 600 million combined YouTube views. Upon True’s release, The New York Times heralded Avicii as “an artist carrying today — and tomorrow — on his shoulders.” 

About PRMD MUSIC:

Los SESAC Latina Music Awards honran el talento creativo de sus compositores, editoras y afiliados incluyendo una impresionante lista de canciones que han sido #1 en los charts de Billboard gracias a su intensa rotación radial en el período 2014-2015.

Por esta grabación, Fonseca ganó el Latin Grammy 2014 en la categoría de Mejor Álbum Tradicional Pop Vocal.     

El pasado mes de abril Fonseca se unió a la extensa lista de compositores de SESAC Latina cuyas creaciones han sido #1 con su canción “Juntos”, co-escrita con su intérprete, Juanes. La canción, que se incluye en la película de Disney ‘McFarland USA’ protagonizada por Kevin Costner, fue #1 en Billboard en las listas Latin Airplay y Latin Pop durante la semana del 18 al 24 de abril. Además, ha sido #1 en Colombia por nueve semanas consecutivas, y #1 en México, Venezuela, Ecuador y países de América Central, posicionándose en el Top 10 en España, Argentina y Chile. 

De positivo mensaje, la canción hace una metáfora de la vida comparándola con un camino y un libro abierto al establecer desde su inicio que cuando se avanza “juntos” no hay nada que no se pueda alcanzar.
