A Cartoony Fun Song, That's Hooyoosay's New Single "Don't You Lie To Me"

hooyoosay's new single "Don't you lie to me" evokes comedy, cartoons, fun movies and video games.


It grabs attention right from the start, with its bizarre techno riff that sounds like an overblown electronic super kazoo.


Next, the vocals are quirky, and then a playful toy organ solo comes along, sort of pleading innocent: "Me? Lie? No..., not really... ".


There's a rhythmic marriage of a modern beat to an almost oompah bass, and the progression is a standard 12-bar rock 'n' roll scheme.


That may seem quite an eccentric cocktail of styles and sounds, but for sure it is easy going and it has a touch of this old school europop sound that is reminiscent of the early days of MTV.


As for the song itself, "Don't you lie to me" is in origin an old blues song, written by Hudson Whittaker.


Eh, did you say "blues", ... for a fun song?!?


Yep! These old blues lyrics often did have an underlying sense of humor! Really.


An EP release will follow soon, offering the additional track "Yooplaaa!", a carefree feelgood instrumental that urges you to join the party, wherever or whatever it is!

iWantJam Places The 'Artist Spotlight' On Country Band Herrick

Live web streaming portal iWantJam recently published the latest installment into its 'Artist Spolight' series on Country band Herrick:

http://www.iwantjam.com/artist/HERRICK



When you're trying to describe a band who doesn't necessarily fit in one genre, has been together for years doing phenomenal things that other bands and artists only dream about, and the band is so tightly in sync that creativity and extraordinary musical ideas just seem to flow to you like a leaf on the edge of a lake, then you've come close to accurately identifying the musical genius of Herrick.



Herrick is comprised of four members who have known each other for many years while growing up in Spokane, Washington. In fact, members (and spouses) Donna and Kerry Herrick met on a blind date in junior high and married in high school. Donna is on vocals, and plays the mandolin and guitar, while hubby Kerry plays the bass and lends his vocal talents to the group as well. The remaining members are Jefferson Rogers (guitar, lap steel, banjo) and Jeff Bradshaw (drums and percussion). With Intricate harmonies and a distinctive sound that combines the best of folk, rock, blues, and country, Herrick shatters the current country music mold, creating a path for it to observe what a real one of a kind band does. Writing their own music, they've managed to impress the masses, while remaining true to their core values and themselves. The foursome has already been selected to open for acts like Kenny Chesney, Hank Williams Jr., the Zac Brown Band, and Miranda Lambert, just to name a few.



Herrick loves touring as it gives them an opportunity for music lovers to see just what they're bringing. Performing live is a serious task for the band, and they confidently state that each member of the group can burn his or her instrument down to the ground when it comes time to perform. They are all respected as top notch musicians who are serious about giving everything they have to their fans. What's even more surprising is that the group has accomplished it all without a record deal. The band's latest album, "New Deal", won the 2012 IMA award for best country song for "Cry Memphis". Donna could sing a song acapella with her powerful voice and great vocal range and get a standing ovation. But when you listen to her feisty vocals or tender singing backed by her own playing and that of other group members, you know you're dealing with true talent.



Donna Herrick is quick to give praise to her counterparts, confidently stating that "Jefferson is one of the best guitarists in Nashville or anywhere else for that matter. He's definitely a keeper! Jeff is new to the band. Jefferson brought him in recently and we could immediately see why. The two were in a band together in college. She continued, "Our music distinguishes us from other artists. Our sound is not the usual "Country" sound out of Nashville. I really think it is in part due to our wide span of musical influences. But also, we have to give credit to the love we have to create a song that stands on its own, and that's not just a copy of something that is already out there. Where's the fun in that? There are not many female fronted Country bands out there either."



As far as fan support is concerned, Donna says, "New Dance has been a real accomplishment for us. It took 3 years and we re-cut the album four times! Life just kept getting in the way with touring, new producers, band changes, studio changes, and new music. Everything got in the way that you would ever think possible. We kept writing new songs and replacing old songs, so there were too many to choose from. We had no label deal, so it was up to us to get the job done. And with no budget, that's not an easy task. We were one of the first Country bands in Nashville to use Kickstarter. Our fans stepped in and paid to finish the album. We were so excited (and still are) that we can say our fans wanted it that bad! Everyone thinks that their fans are the best, but ours really are!

MusicDishTV Presents British Pop/Jazz Duo Miss 600's Music Video "Hello"

In anticipation of the release of their debut album, UK-based pop/jazz duo Miss 600 has released the music video for its newest single, "Hello", following the success of their previous singles, "Twist" and "Typically Me". Published on singer Hannah Garner's Youtube channel, the playful video serves as the perfect accompaniment to the irresistibly catchy single.



The music video features Garner and David Amar, the other half of the duo, walking through a wonderfully cheesy backdrop of stripe bands and bright colors. Shot in black-and-white, the two musicians sharply juxtapose the video's colorful background. To capture the single's turn-of-centuryesque instrumentals, the video uses simple cinematography and rough cuts to transport listeners back to the classy, flamboyant Europe in the early 1900s.



Compared to their other work, "Twist" and "Typically Me", "Hello" has a faster, more upbeat rhythm. With flashy horns and exuberant guitar riffs, the single's tune is reminiscent of Golden Age jazz at its best. When Garner's confident, powerful vocals are added to the mix, "Hello" becomes a track representing pop jazz at its best. In response to both the single and the MV's popularity, BBC Radio 2 has just added "Hello" to their playlist.



After spending a busy year participating in various festivals, including the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Miss 600 is about to release its debut album, "Buying Time". The album will showcase their blend of pop tunes and jazz flavors and features collaborations with film composer Ennio Morricone and songwriter Sam Beeton. The album dropped on February 25th.



Miss 600 consists of David Amar, a multi-instrumentalist, and singer Hannah Garner, who maintained a presence of Youtube since she was 17. The duo was soon discovered by Chris Bucknall and signed to Cubit Recordings.

Directed by Clifton Bell, the music video for the hit track drew 4.8 million views within the first 72 hours of being uploaded.

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhmNFc5d18GeQU06A1



Produced by Ramon "Ingy" Casillas, who won 'Best Urban Song' at the 2012 Latin Grammy Award, The track has attracted over 120 spins per week on Top 40/Rhythmic stations, currently charting #1 on 92.7 in Chicago. The remix was by world famous DJ Riddler whom you can catch on New York City's WKTU 103.5FM, WHTZ 100.3FM as well as Houston's KKHH "Hot 95.7 FM". His prior release, dance club single "So Bad," received overwhelming response from listeners on radio favorites KTU's iHeartRadio and Z100.



Electronic upbeat pulses set "City of Lights" off and hit the mix at 119 BPM of flavor. "Come show me love" is a cool hook and everybody that has ever partied in Paris knows it's the "City of Lights". The vocals have tight harmony that weave in smooth layers and the rap is all about getting the crowd into the music and having some fun. The mix is great when I pushed the volume. "This cut would make my buddy DJ World Famous Rani G smile the next time he spins for the Kardashians in L.A.," noted MusicDish writer Michele Wilson.



Since erupting onto the entertainment stage, PRINCE MALIK has started his own record label, publishing company and film production company. A man of all trades, PRINCE MALIK is no stranger to developing his versatile talents into a budding successful career. PRINCE MALIK has a bachelor degree in Journalism, which expanded his love and talent for writing.
