OKMusic Seeking Holiday Thrills With Halloween Song Competition

OKMusic.fm is dying to hear original tunes from unsigned artists for the site’s Halloween Song Contest. The contest is the first from OKMusic’s new series of monthly themed events designed to give undiscovered talent an opportunity for worldwide exposure.

OKMusic is looking for songs that capture the Halloween spirit and summons up the excitement and fun of the annual October holiday. The only rule* is that music entered be an original composition by the submitter. No resurrecting someone else’s moldy oldie and doing a cover, OKMusic wants fresh blood.

The outcome of the contest will be determined by the OKMusic community. The song that has the most likes by October 27 will be the declared the winner.

The winner will get exposure to the social network’s millions of visitors worldwide and be highlighted in the new front page OKMusic “Featured Artist” pane. Special treats will include a crystalline star trophy laser-etched with the artist/band’s name, OKMusic winner stickers the artist/band can use to promote themselves locally and a nationally distributed press release about the winning band and song.

“The OKMusic Halloween song contest is the first of many monthly contests designed to provide our artists with opportunities to build a fan base,” Akiko Asami, CEO, OKMusic, explains. “Our mission is to help our members get discovered.”

Recently, Canadian artist Rich Chambers had a song selected for the soundtrack of an upcoming Hollywood film, Chilly Christmas, through a contest on the site.

New Solo Recording Artist Jey Gibbs Wants To "Touch Yo Body" With Debut Single Release

When Jey Gibbs stepped foot on the stage of the legendary "Showtime at the Apollo," and opened his mouth, he was only 13, but he knew destiny was calling out to him. Singing since the age of four, the young artist was blessed with a gift that made the adults around him take note. So much so that even as a child he assisted his mom when she gave vocal lessons to the choir at his home church.

Today, the 24-year is cementing his talent with his debut independent single and video release of "Touch Yo Body." If "Showtime at the Apollo" was still taking auditions, its doubtful he would be boo'ed from the stage! Gibbs has a voice and style that naturally causes women to sway and swoon. With a dash of hip hop bravado; coupled with smooth R&B fever, Gibb's vocal approach is seasoned with special flavor. He gracefully exudes a lustful timbre, tempered with a vintage charm, that he calls "Da E-ffect." A gifted songwriter as well, with "Touch Yo Body," Gibbs seduces the ear while he cradles the heart with lyrics that unwind any semblance of resistance. Gibb's B-side release, "Shoulda Coulda Woulda," which he also composed, continues the lyrical seduction with an up tempo beat that bangs steady.

"I am happy to be able to finally throw my hat in the ring," reveals Gibbs. "It's taken a lot of hard word and sacrifice to bring my music to the table and I could not have done it alone. I am extremely grateful to the team I have around me. With these two songs, I'm singing to the women and I think with one listen, they will get the message loud and clear. I am an artist who is here for them." A Charleston, SC native, currently residing in Brooklyn, NY, Gibbs is a recent graduate of Long Island University with a bachelors in Media Arts. He hosts his own campus radio show, "Business with Jay."

Both "Touch Yo Body" and "Shoulda Coulda Woulda" were mixed and recorded at Harlem's popular Stadium Red Studios. When not singing and recording, Gibbs supplements his craft by working at La Guardia Airport as a Transportation Security Officer. But by the sound of his first solo offerings, that won't be for long.

em eff & Daaé Release Album On Cloud Collective Records

IDM, indietronic producer em eff (Michael Frazer) teams up with vocalist Daaé (Jesse Larson) for a new album entitled We Don’t Know. This digital release is out now on Cloud Collective Records. The album explores atmospheric chiptune landscapes treated with a dose of Daaé’s ethereal, intimately distant vocals.

After his previous album We Speak in Non Sequitur on Cold Tear Records, em eff, who is constantly reinventing his approach to production, was looking for fresh perspective. He found it with Daaé. On their collaboration, “I generally come up to her with some crazy ideas about processing vocals, recording a line of speech that seems to make no sense. She’ll look at me like I’m insane, but once the task is done, she’s happy with the sounds in context,” says em eff.

Recorded primarily in university offices and classrooms during the fall and winter of 2011 in Auburn, Alabama, the album in many ways reflects the dense and opulent colors of fall giving way to the stark, solemn, spaces of winter.

The album begins with the duo’s first collaboration, 1 Up Down, which was born out of frustrations with a long distance relationship. Daaé felt there was significant depth to the lyrics em eff wrote, particularly the line, “I never made a vacant promise”. “I feel like it’s hard to not make vacant promises in this life,” Daaé says. Much of the album adheres to a free association theme, allowing natural moments to surface in an otherwise unnatural, programmed, setting. Spontaneous writing sessions created lyrics such as, “Never test out your philosophy on animals,” found in Were We the Machine. Daaé comments, “It has to do with being brave.”

“We never determined what genre we were working in. It’s slightly sporadic in that sense but cohesive in the tone the album as a whole conveys,” em eff explains. The album’s title, We Don’t Know, reflects the uncertainties and volatility of the world right now both in practical terms such as how to make a living in this economy, to artistic realization. To illustrate this, the cover art uses Zener cards, which test ESP.

The album is available now on iTunes and every major digital music retailer.
