Aretha Henry To Release Fourth Studio Album, Mrs. Jones

Singer-Songwriter Aretha Henry will release her fourth studio album later this year. On April 1st, she released the album's first single, "Love Language". The Camden Mississippi native announced the title of the album on her blog, Aretha Henry Daily, back in March.

The songstress became Mrs. Jones for the second time on June 1st of last year when she remarried her 1st (and only) husband, Kevin Jones. Mrs. Jones is very excited about the upcoming album, gushing about it stating "Well, I couldn't think of a title more fitting for my fourth studio album besides Mrs. Jones. Hehehe. I wanted my first three albums to describe me- like an introduction. Beautiful....Enchanted....Superhuman....Mrs. Jones. (Yes, I did that on purpose.) The title is a play on the old song, Me & Mrs. Jones, and also the phrase, Keeping up with the Joneses."

Hybrid Studios Hosts Student Field Trip Day

On June 20th, Hybrid Studios in Santa Ana hosted a group of high school students through Vital Link team and Santiago Canyon College to discuss careers in the world of audio and video production. After being given a tour of the facility's recording studios and soundstage, students spoke with Craig "Burnie" Burns of Applebox Network and Burnie's Grip and Lighting about different career paths within the industry. They were also brought onto one of Burnie's profession grip trucks and given a recording demo in Hybrid's Studio A. Following the demo, students took part in a Q&A with Hybrid's Lead Engineer, Josh Brooks.

"It's always refreshing to bring groups of young people into the studio," said Hybrid Manager Mike Miller, "For kids looking into different career paths, we try to remove some of the mystery of what actually happens in recording studios and/or professional soundstages like Hybrid. They assume that it's all fun all the time – and it is fun – but there's a lot of hard work and dedication that comes along with that. I hope we were able to show the students both sides of that coin."

Santiago Canyon College is a State of California award-winning community college and offers a very effective Business and Career Education curriculum to their students. These students and some grads will soon be seeking entry-level or internship positions pursuant to their upcoming careers. Vital Link's mission is to help students and grads explore, discover and connect to meaningful careers by coordinating activities such as site tours to local businesses for various Orange County schools. You can visit their web site, www.vitallinkoc.org for more information.

Australian DJ Duo NERVO Enter Sports Arena With Unique Volleyball Partnership

Grammy award-winning Australian DJ duo NERVO have teamed up with The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) ahead of the launch of a new global competition, the Volleyball Nations League (VNL), which will see them reaching a worldwide audience with new material and performances.

This collaboration demonstrates the FIVB's commitment to showcasing world class entertainment and putting music at the centre of the fan experience.

NERVO have recorded an exclusive track entitled ‘Worlds Collide,' which will be the official anthem of the competition and will perform to capacity crowds at both the men's and women's VNL finals, starting with the women's in Nanjing on 27th June and then at the men's final in Lille on July 8th.

The new partnership was unveiled last night (Sunday June 10th) at the Ottawa leg of the VNL tour when NERVO performed ‘Worlds Collide' for the first time during the competition.

NERVO are twin sisters Mim and Liv Nervo, the most successful female DJs in the world, having written and produced some of the biggest club tracks in recent years including collaborations with David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Kesha and Britney Spears.

This activity will form part of a packed summer of events for NERVO who are undertaking a worldwide tour, which will feature club appearances from Ibiza to Las Vegas.

Liv Nervo said, "As Australians, we're no strangers to sport but the party atmosphere of VNL matches is pretty special. The energy between the players and the fans has been at the heart of the collaboration, and we can't wait to be in Canada to add ‘Worlds Collide' to the mix."

Fernando Lima, Secretary General of the FIVB said, "Sport and music are a fantastic mix as both deal with human creativity and capacity to engage with people. Volleyball has a global fan base and The Volleyball Nations League provides a platform for great sport alongside fantastic entertainment and an unforgettable fan experience. There will be an amazing party atmosphere at all of the matches and NERVO will be a big part of that. They are great ambassadors for our sport and ‘Worlds Collide' is the perfect anthem for this competition."
