PAp Records Signs Keri Lynn Roche And Releases Debut Single "Generation Kill"

PAp Records announced the recent signing of its latest artist, Season 12 American Idol contestant Keri Lynn Roche. Under PAp's management, the 23-year old singer-songwriter recorded her debut single, "Generation Kill", which will be released on major online outlets such as iTunes and Amazon on March 25.



The American Idol contestant earned a trip to Hollywood after her breakthrough performance during a show taped in Chicago involving a cover of Patsy Cline's 'Walking After Midnight'. "Randy Jackson told me 'I see you selling platinum records,'" Roche noted. "That was really cool to hear because I've worked really hard at this." Attracted by Roche's talent, the Rhode Island-based record company added the Birmingham native to their already impressive selection of artists covering all music genres, including Hip-hop, Pop, Alternative, and Jazz.



The soon-to-be released "Generation Kill" showcases Roche's amazing talent and testifies to Idol judge Randy Jackson's praise of her skills. In "Generation Kill", Roche sings in a tongue-in-cheek fashion and satirizes the ridiculousness of contemporary culture. "Makes me ill/Generation Kill/ I don't wanna/but I think I will." With a medium tempo and a light, catchy piano riff, the pop single carries clear influences from folk and country. Possessing great range and power, however, Roche's incredible vocals are the clear star of the show.

Meltdown By Code Indigo Is A Contemporary Instrumental Rock And Electronica Music Album Taking A Musical Swipe At The Global Economic Crisis

Code Indigo is regarded as one of Europes premiere electronic music bands and with MELTdown, they've delivered an apt follow up to their 2007 release Chill that takes a lyrical swipe at the global economic meltdown.



The band continues its tradition of producing imaginative and thematic keyboard/guitar based electronica and chill-out music.



While comparisons have been made with instrumental Pink Floyd and Art of Noise, the Code Indigo sound and style remains totally original, unique and above all, contemporary.



MELTdown is an epic, concept style musical journey. There are 16 beautifully conceived and highly evocative interlinked tracks that cleverly pay homage to all previous Code Indigo albums while remaining inventive and original.



It is moody and topical electronica featuring some of the most atmospheric and thought provoking chill out style instrumental music youre likely to hear anywhere.



Helmed by veteran UK synth maestro David Wright, co founder and sole survivor from the original 1994 line-up, and producer Dave Massey, the new look Code Indigo is completed by Neil Fellowes (aka Geigertek) on keyboards, and guitarists Nigel Turner-Heffer and Dave Bareford.



Code Indigo will premiere MELTdown at the e-day festival in Oirschot, Holland on 6th April 2013.

MusicDishTV Presents Prince Malik Hip Hop Video Hit "City Of Lights"

Hip hop sensation Prince Malik released the music video for his hit "City of Lights Ft. Flo Rida". Extravagant and flashy, the video serves as a great accompaniment the up-beat, adrenaline-filled song. Inspired by New York's own nightlife, the video, along with the single, captures the City of Lights' energy perfectly.



The video begins with Prince Malik in a sports car speeding through the city. Then, external shots of the City that Never Sleeps are shown. As Prince Malik and Flo Rida perform their routine, the video tracks them as they have a blast in various nightclubs. To mimic the City's own bustling energy, the video's lighting constantly flashes from white to eye-catching colors such as blue and red. Recurring images, such as fire, also reinforce this motive.



The single itself has all the ingredients to become a solid hip hop hit. With heavy beats and easily recognizable melody, the song is extremely catchy and is bound to get the party started. Prince Malik's voice is heavily synthesized, while Flo Rida enters in the middle to deliver his verse. The track has attracted over 120 spins on Top 40 stations.



Prince Malik is a versatile artist. Aside from music, he has started his own label, publishing company and film production firm.

Naama Kates Releases Video For New Single "King For The Day"

Singer-songwriter/pianist Naama Kates recently released the music video for her newest track, "King for the Day", taken off of her sophomore full-length album on her official Youtube page. Directed by Luis Aguirre, the video is extravagant, provocative, and layered with dark wit. It serves as the perfect accompaniment to the wonderfully realized single.



Corresponding to the single's message about being "King for the Day", the video features a ravishing Kates dressed in a lavish evening dress singing. A suited man appears from time to time and pampers Kates with gifts and gestures, making her a true "king". As the video draws to an end, however, we are forced to recognize the superficiality of these objects. The exaggerated backdrop is taken down to reveal a rundown alley, while the man takes back his gifts, leaving Kates looking helpless.



The single itself is a classy blend of blues, jazz, and pop. With the help of Mike Richardson on the trombone, John Carfi on bass, and Rich West on drums, Kates records a gorgeous piano arrangement. Her exuberant vocals give the poetic lyrics a high level of sincerity and power. Grammy-nominated producer Scott Fraser (Kronos Quartet) recorded, engineered and mastered. Like all the other songs on her sophomore album, "King for the Day" was recorded in a single take.



Naama Kates began composing and singing at an early age. Upon her arrival in Los Angeles in 2009 she began working on her debut record "The Unexamined Life" which was released in 2012 to critical and commercial success. Her sophomore album, "King for the Day" will be released on March 12, 2013.

Jazz Trombonist/Arranger Earl McIntyre Releases New CD, Brass Carnival & Tribute! Via Live Premiere Concert

Award winning Jazz Trombonist/ Arranger Earl McIntyre is known for his rich tones, incredible brass arrangements and diverse repertoire making him a “go to” for performances and arrangements ranging from classical to jazz. His new release, Brass Carnival & Tribute!, showcases many of those attributes and more in this groove eclectic set.


Born in Brooklyn N.Y. Earl received his very first musical training from his father, Eldon McIntyre, Sr. (a very gifted amateur musician). His father was passionate about music and saw to it that Earl and his brothers became proficient at playing brass instruments thus starting Earl’s journey into music. While attending the High School of Music & Art, he studied trombone with trombone greats such as John Clark, Jack Jeffers, Alan Raph and Benny Powell. It was during this period that he also developed relationships with composer William S. Fischer and tubaist Howard Johnson. He then when on to study Bass Trombone at Mannes College of Music with Simone Karasick and tuba with Thompson Hanks. As Earl’s thirst for knowledge of music grew, he started studying music arrangement with Slide Hampton and Bob Brookmeyer, as well as, studied privately with the famous brass teacher Carmine Caruso.



Soon after his studies, McIntyre’s musical journey flourished as he began playing with the likes of Gil Evans, the Apollo stage band, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal, Lester Bowie, The Band, Stevie Wonder, McCoy Tyner, Carla Bley, George Russell, Lou Rawls, Jeffrey Osborne, Deniece Williams, the Count Basie Orchestra, the Ellington Orchestra, the Thad Jones -Mel Lewis Orchestra (with whom he was associated for over 20 years) Slide Hampton, George Gruntz, the Mingus Big Band, Cecil Taylor, David Amram and the list goes on.



While credited for Trombone, Tuba and Arranger on countless award winning albums, Brass Carnival & Tribute!, will be Earl McIntyre’s very first offering of his own. When asked about his influences he responded “They say as an artist you spend your career trying to get back to your roots and I guess that's true in my case. The Tribute! band allows me to honor great musicians and family members in my own way. By dedicating and/or naming compositions after these people I hope to ignite the occasional spark of interest in them. Perhaps it's the influence of another hero/employer as well. Charles Mingus did this often and so did Thelonious Monk. The other ensemble, Brass Carnival does the same sort of thing with musical genres but as a larger ensemble.” says McIntyre.



Brass Carnival has instrumentation similar to a Salvation Army brass band coupled with Latin percussion. The influence of various kinds of vibrant carnival music colorfully painted on a Jazz canvas. Tribute! is a smaller group that pays tribute to Earl’s many influences such as Soca, R&B, Funk and various other grooves.



Brass Carnival & Tribute! will be available via MySpace, CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody and more. Join Earl McIntyre on Saturday, March 9th, for his Brass Carnival & Tribute! CD release extravaganza. The festivities will begin at 7:30pm at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, 58 Seventh Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. Admission $10

Matthew Schultz And Jim Jones Hits All The Right Notes With "Money Or Me"

Learn how to get your song on itunes at ReverbNation.com

Singer/songwriter Matthew Schultz collaborates with hip hop legend Jim Jones to create the highly anticipated single, "Money or Me". The single draws from the talents of both artists and feature a one of a kind blend of two seemingly unreconcilable genres, rock and hip-hop. Despite all odds, the unconventional team of Schultz and Jones succeeded in creating a hit.



"Money Or Me" showcases the best of Schultz who carried the song with his outstanding guitar solo and rich vocals. With a steady rhythm and a gorgeous piano, the song carries clear rock influences. However, the use of distortion, echoes, and other electronic techniques add a very different flavor to the mix. Jim Jones also brought his A-game to his rap vocals. Gritty and powerful, Jones instills a classic hip-hop element into the single.



Matthew Schultz is a veteran in the music industry. Having previously worked with singer Chris Daughtry, he has maintained a presence in the scene with his impressive vocals and song-writing skills. He was ranked as the number 2 singer/songwriter in the US on Reverbnation.



Jim Jones, originally born Joseph Guillermo Jones II, is an original member of the hip hop collective The Diplomatsalso. He is also featured on VH1 Love & Hip Hop and Chrissy & Miss Jones.
