"...It isn't very often a band stands out quite like [Loebeat]...try and figure out if Black Plastic just discovered the future of pop music." -- Black Plastic.

Loebeat a British pop trio made up of Lula, Dicey and Ramdaq. They are taking the Electropop/Glam spotlight as they were recently played on Sam Walkers BBC Manchester introducing show and are going to be played on BBC6 music introducing very soon. Their sound is influenced by edgy and stylish performers such as Grace Jones, Kate Bush, David Lachapelle, Xenomania, and Kraftwerk.

Combining our talents in songwriting, production, photography and art direction we create everything you see and hear with the Loebeat name attached.

Loebeat's edgy and sleek image sure makes a statement. Bold usage of strong colors and sharp poses definitely catch the eye. Combine that with catchy beats and you have a complete package. Come and Get It is a strong first track (on their Myspace page). I found myself grooving to it "... like you need it and you meant it..."

Music Boy is sexy. From the opening riff, the verses... the whole song is hot. I can hear this played on today's dancefloors. Gladly, I'd dance to it, even in my room. The first song I heard from Loebeat is Fire. I loved it right away. The lyrics, the vocals, the beats are all so powerful. Reminiscent of Sam Sparro's "Black and Gold". Their track Unruly shows that they are also capable of the classic dance sound. It starts out a bit misleading with the indie-sounding guitar riff until the vocals kick in and it's full dance mode. Electric Beat displays their grasp of the electronica sound and they pull it off very well. It is a bit darker than the rest of the tracks so far. I Want More reminds me of the Soho Dolls. The backing beats are sick!

But it does not stop there. Just check this video out!

Loebeat truly satisfies ones mixed media needs. It will leave you asking for more.

If you want it, come and get it!
Shout it out loud!

"Discuss Here"

"Hot Chelle Rae's intrinsic swagger and dominance belie their youth, but that's the only misleading bit about this Nashville four-piece. They are honest to goodness rock and roll at its finest--ripe and arrogant, sweating with tangible promise that hangs in the air at their live shows. Posh arrangements featuring refreshingly tasteful guitar, sly lyrics and a 21-year-old lead singer dripping with charisma leave you knowing that these guys will end up somewhere--everywhere." - BMI.com

HOT CHELLE RAE's BIO
Ryan Keith Follese: guitar, lead vocals
Nash Overstreet: lead guitar, vocals
Ian Keaggy: bass, vocals
Jamie Follese: drums

Hot Chelle Rae announce themselves as a force to be reckoned with on their debut album Lovesick Electric. How can you argue with bold, swaggering vocals, monster sing-along choruses, crunching rock guitar, and a propulsive rhythm section that just won’t quit?

“We wanted the music to sound larger than life,” says guitarist Nash Overstreet of the group’s epic dance-rock sound. “We wanted it to sound explosive and new and fun and be better than anything out there,” adds frontman Ryan Keith Follese. Indeed, stomping, blistering jams like “I Like to Dance,” “Never Have I Ever,” “Say (Half Past Nine),” and “Bushes,” will sound equally fierce whether they’re blasting from a car stereo or emanating from an arena stage.

As one reviewer has already raved about the Nashville newcomers: “Hot Chelle Rae are honest to goodness rock and roll at its finest — ripe and arrogant, sweating with tangible promise that hangs in the air at their live shows. Posh arrangements featuring refreshingly tasteful guitar, sly lyrics, and a 22-year-old lead singer dripping with charisma, leave you knowing that these guys will end up somewhere—everywhere.”

High praise, but not surprising considering that all four band members were raised with music in their DNA. Ryan, his brother/drummer Jamie, and Overstreet are the sons of A- list Nashville songwriters with multiple number one hits between them, while bassist Ian Keaggy's dad is a world renowned Grammy-nominated guitarist.

“Growing up around music didn’t hurt, but I was never pushed to do it,” Overstreet says. “I just can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to play or write music.” Follese says his father actually encouraged him not to go into the music business. “But I don’t know what else I can do,” he says. “Music is the only thing I truly have a passion for.”

And so the guys claimed their destiny by forming Hot Chelle Rae, which they named after one of the group’s most devoted female fans. The band began to take shape in early 2005 when a mutual friend recommended that Overstreet and Follese meet. Follese was doing what he calls “the singer-songwriter thing” and was looking for a guitar player. But their first meeting didn’t go too smoothly. “We definitely didn’t like each other,” Follese says. “We dressed differently. I was clean-cut and Nash wasn’t. We looked like polar opposites, and it was just, like, no.” But the two managed to overcome their initial impressions and form their first band, which they called Miracle Drug. When their first show in August 2006 went well, they decided to try writing songs together and “we just clicked right away,” Follese says.

They brought in Nash’s childhood friend Ian Keaggy — a guitarist who didn’t even play bass until he joined the band. “Ian came to one of our shows where we had a hired gun on bass and he said, ‘If that guy can play bass, I can play bass,’” Follese recalls. “And that was that. He makes up the most creative stuff. We’ve written so many songs that have started with his bass riffs.” Ryan’s brother Jamie joined up soon after. “At first we weren’t sure because he was young, but we had a couple rehearsals with him and he knew every song because he’d been playing them for ages,” Follese says. “Anything Nash and I wrote, even if we hadn’t recorded it, he knew it. He’s a human metronome. He just stepped in and sat down and was like, ‘I know these songs.’”

At this point, Hot Chelle Rae had already been taken under the wing of entertainment exec John Hamlin, who signed them up for management. Hamlin then teamed up with music industry vet Don Ienner who guided them toward a deal with Jive Records. After signing with the label in October 2008, the guys began to gear up to make their first album, sorting through dozens of songs they had already written. “My dad told me early on that writing hit songs is just like your batting average,” Follese says. “He reminded me that Barry Bonds hits 70 homeruns a year, but he doesn’t hit a homerun every time — it’s maybe one out of ten. So if you want to write hit songs, you’re going to have to write 50 songs for your first record,’ which is what we did. We threw out loads of songs.”

To help them narrow it down, the band took advice from two of their producers, Eric Valentine and Butch Walker, both of whom know a little something about serving up hit albums. Valentine, who produced five tracks including “Say” and “I Like to Dance,” has worked with All-American Rejects and Good Charlotte, while artist/producer Butch Walker, who produced two tracks, “The Distance” and “Bushes,” has worked with Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, and Pink. “I don’t know if there’s a guy on earth more driven to make something sound the best that it can sound than Eric,” Follese says. “He is obsessive and only produces songs that he truly connects with, which is really cool.” “And Butch Walker is someone we’ve always really looked up to and have wanted to work with for a long time,” adds Overstreet. “When we were trying to decide who should produce the record, we figured why not shoot high? There’s so much passion and power in everything he puts to tape, he really helped us get that across.”

Lovesick Electric brims with the confidence and youthful energy that only a group of musicians with serious chops can deliver. “I think the album really reflects who we are and how we want the world to feel,” Overstreet says. “We can have a lot of fun and goof off, or we can be very serious and work really hard, and the album shows it all. We’ve got songs for people to listen to if they’re going through a break-up, like ‘The Distance’ or ‘Last One Standing,’ or if they want to just forget about work, like ‘I Like to Dance,’ or they want to dream about the future, like ‘Say.’ We’ve tried hard to make it completely accessible and something people can really relate to no matter what’s going on in their lives.”

OUT NOW: Ingrid Michaelson - Everybody (2009)

Artist: Ingrid Michaelson

Album: Everybody
Type: Studio Album
Date Release: August 25
Genre: Indie Pop, Folk
Year: 2009

Everybody is the third album of Indie singer/songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. The album was released 25 August 2009, following the July 14 release of the first single "Maybe". Allmusic.com has already given the album 4 out of 5 stars.

Following her sophomore album "Be Ok", Ingrid Michaelson offers a darker sound on "Everybody". A widget on her Myspace provides a preview of the whole album. Also, for a limited time, the album is available on iTunes for $7.99!

Track Listing/Review:

1. Soldier
2. Everybody
3. Are We There Yet
4. Sort Of
5. Incredible Love
6. The Chain
7. Mountain And The Sea
8. Men Of Snow
9. So Long
10. Once Was Love
11. Locked Up
12. Maybe

Soldier has powerful lyrics, especially the chorus - "the battle with the heart isn't easily won". The title track, Everybody reminds me a bit of "Be Ok". It's a light and happy song; great to have playing on a car ride. So far, Are We There Yet has the most Indie feel... mellow, guitar-laden intrumentation. I like the piano intro of Sort Of. It continues on to the verses to be joined with wonderful melodies and violins. One of the reasons why I like her music is the melodies. This track is a perfect example of it. Incredible Love has an RnB flavor to it; very sexy and smooth.

Now to my FAVORITE track on the album. Last 24th of July, iMeem did a "twitterview" with Ingrid and she mentioned that The Chain is her favorite song off the album, "It is my favorite in terms of melody, words and production. and its a round! i like rounds." I first heard of this song in "Be Ok", 4th track, Live From Webster Hall. I am so glad she decided to do an album version. This song is seriously addicting. [But I prefer the Live version more.] Mountain and the Sea also reminds me of "Be Ok" at first because of similar guitar openings. It's a nice transition from the mellowness of The Chain; it's upbeat and fun (but ends abruptly). You should listen to the whole of Men of Snow and experience the different instruments used and the changes in the song. It's moody and it crests to a powerful crescendo. So Long displays the purity of Ingrid's vocals. The instrumental makes it special.

Once Was Love has the pop sound out of the whole album. I was following the beat when I was listening to it. It is a nice mix up of tempo from the slow Indie sound to this Indie-pop with a slightly upbeat vibe. Locked Up gives the album a jazzy intro - quirky pop rock vibe. I did not expect that and it's the first time I heard this sound from Ingrid. And to close out the album, the first single of the album - Maybe. It's a perfect end to the album... going back to a fresh pop-y vibe. "Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back to me..." -- I will definitely would.

7/10.

New Contributor!

Hey guys! Allow me to introduce myself.

I am CATE, 21 in a few weeks from Los Angeles, CA. I'm originally from the Philippines.

I love pop music (duh!) and I'm always on a look-out for fresh acts especially on Myspace. Right now, I'm concentrating on INDIE POP and ELECTRONIC/DANCE/POP. So if that's your thing, let me know! :) And I don't only focus on "new" music; I also have relatively unknown artists to share. [And I live and breathe American Idol.]

Uhm... I was also a part of the previous PopAddicted blog albeit for a short while. I'm a long-time follower of this blog and it's an honor to be a part of it. I will serve as the REVIEWER of songs/albums - so if you have a song or a whole album you want checked out, send it over to me.

I can't wait to share my collection with you! Thanks!

PS: I can be stalkable via Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook.

MEET: Sean Ray + Exclusive INTERVIEW!

LISTEN // Hole In My Heart



"Discuss Here"

Another NEW singer to check out! We got a chance to set up an Interview with him and here's what we got. Care to check? You might like him, ...who knows?

-Have you chosen your first single? When will it hit iTunes? Are you planning a big release campaign?
I haven't chosen my first single just yet. I'm actually in the recording process still, so you never know which could be the single until the project is wrapped up. My single will definitely hit ITunes sometime in October. My team & I have been discussing a release party. We have big plans! It's going to be a nice celebration.

-What do you consider your first big break in your career?
I think my first "big break" would be signing to a major record company. That's definitely one of my goals & a big dream of mine!

-What is your songwriting/song creating process like? Do you get lyric ideas first or build your lyrics around a beat?
My songwriting process starts with inspiration. I usually hear a "track/beat" that I like and just zone out. Before I jot down any lyrics I let the track "speak" to me. I search for a concept that fits the track then I begin to sing different melodies. I usually start with the "hook", B section, the verses, then the bridge. I know that sounds funny but just call it unique!

-What's your favorite song you've written/finished so far, and why?
My favorite song (so far) would have to be "Hole In My Heart". The writing & recording process of this song is just unforgetable. I actually recorded this song in my home studio. Everything flowed nicely that night. You would think I really had a hole in my heart after hearing the record.

-You have opened for Lupe Fiasco and Rick Ross. Any fun, crazy touring stories?
Yeah opening up for rappers are pretty cool. Lupe is a real chill & humble person. I respect him for that. I don't have any crazy touring stories YET (laughing) - but I am definitely looking forward to those!

-What is the best music industry advice you've ever received that you'd like to pass on to aspiring performers?
Be patient and be humble!!! Don't be scared to show your talents! Go for what you want! It's possible if you let it!!

-Your commitment to bringing a positive influence toward the younger generation is really refreshing in the r&b/hip hop scene. Was this a conscious decision? Is being a positive role model something that is very important to you?
Being a positive role model is something I've been all my life. I have younger cousins & sisters who are as talented as I am and they look at me like a mentor or "the family star" even. I'm just a positive person all around. I'd like to make positivity a trend one day. Hoping more artists would do the same. As a Pop artist, I'd love to see all genre's join the movement.

-In your biography, you mention the influence of the late and great Michael Jackson. Which of his songs has the most meaning to you, and which would you love to perform live with your own spin?
I grew up on Michael Jackson's music, etc. His passing felt like losing a close family member. A few of my favorite songs are "Human Nature", & "Who is it".
I'd love to perform "Human Nature". Maybe I'll "cover" it one day.

-You have an incredible and professional online presence between your social networking profiles and street team. How important do you feel the online side of your campaign is to you?
My online campaign is very important to me. I love to network and be heard. I also like to give my fans a chance to get to know the real me but keep it professional at the same time.

-What musician or song is your greatest guilty pleasure?
I honestly don't think I have one (laughing)..

-If you could cover any song that's currently on radio playlists right now, what would it be?
I'd probley cover "Boyfriend #2" by Pleasure P. That was my joint for a while!

-What was the first album you ever owned (and loved) and what was the last album you bought?
My first album was Musiq Soulchild's "Aijuswanasing"! I love that CD so much I still listen to it this day & I was 15 when I bought it (laughing).
The last CD I bought was Brandy's "Human".

-What's one random tidbit about yourself that most fans wouldn't know?
(Laughing) Most fans wouldn't know I hate washing my own hair!

-Do you have any upcoming touring plans?
Yes, we're discussing a tour with a major artist so stay tuned!

-Message to the fans?
"Live your life to the fullest - Experiences are necessary!"

//Ke$ha - Never Know About Love//

Remember Ke$ha? Read her first Introduction here if you have no idea who is she... Done with the reading? Well, let's continue... This NEW girl has been circulating around Blogging World for these past few months. Everyone talks about her on and on and we should admit that her first single with P.Diddy is a mind blowing. Though we might have heard something like that before, but with Ke$ha's voice, it sounds totally new to me. Here's a NEW track that you MIGHT like. A bit different from Tick Tock and more into her 'bad' side for sure!

//Katharine McPhee - Had It All//
I'm hyperventilating when I saw the official cover for the single a few days ago and to see the song is out, I might be collapse right now. I LOVE Katharine sooo much and her first album is a MUST in your shopping list! This October, 13th, Kat will release her Sophomore Album called 'Unbroken' (mark that day NOW) and here's the first single. Had It All. Oh GREAT! I'm typing this while listening to the song for the first time and I already FALL for the song.WooHoo! Let's expect more amazing songs coming out from her album!

//Alexandra Burke ft. Flo Rida - Bad Boys//
Enough with the 'Hallelujah' thing and move on to the other side from Alexandra Burke. Well, who missed this X-Factor winner raise your hand! Here's her second single which just release today. That kind of intro keeps my ear for not going anywhere and it drags me to the brilliant part of the song which is the chorus. Have a listen and tell me what you think! Everyone seems like it, how about you?

NEW MUSIC: Richard Mills - Nothing To Prove

Download // Nothing To Prove

I've been waiting some time for Richard to release his first demo album, and now he finally did (yesterday), I thought I'd share it with you guys :)

Richard Mills is a singer from Eugene, Oregon and worked a year on this demo album. It's downloadable from iTunes for free, so don't hesitate to give it a try - you won't regret it!

If you like Richard and/or his music, don't be afraid to tell him so on Twitter, MySpace or his official website ;)

And for the ones who don't have iTunes, and therefore can't download Nothing To Prove (I can't imagine my life without it, but I know there ARE people who don't have iTunes) here on MediaFire ^_^

NEW MUSIC: 08/21/09

LOTS of leaks and NEW Music coming out this week. What are they? Incase you missed them, here's all leaks in one post to catch up. Enjoy!

DOWNLOAD // Backstreet Boys - Trouble
Leaks keep coming from this boys as they're about to release their NEW album 'This Is Us'. This time we got 'Trouble' which turns out to be another dancey POP tracks. Well, now wonder it sounds like that since Ne-Yo is the producer! Hmmm, Ne-Yo for Backstreet Boys, do you like the idea?

DOWNLOAD // Adrienne Bailon - Superbad
Former Cheetah Girls member, Adrienne Bailon is getting ready to release her solo album. Here's one of the track from the album that sounds like current General POP that flooding most POP music nowaday. Cara to check? You might like it...

DOWNLOAD // Jordin Sparks - Colours
She keep amaze me everytime and it seems like she won't stop!. Her album is out and now we could hear another NEW song from Jordin (dunno the info behind this song, anyone?). It's called 'Colours' and it got 'Tatoo' back beat for the whole song. Played majorly in minor and sounds like a sad song to me... But still, I LOVE IT!

DOWNLOAD // Alexa Vega & Austin Butler - Possibilities
ANOTHER--yes another--NEW song from Alexa's current TV Series. This time it sounds totally different and rockier since--I guess-- she did it with Austin Butler.

DOWNLOAD // Aaron Carter - One More Night
Did I mention how ugly he looks from time to time? This is not what he should be, LOL. He's a grown up now and he's ABLE to choose his own musical style which didn't turn out that good. Hmmm... I do still hope he make at least one purepop ballad song like 'I'm All About You' or 'Do You Remember'. Hahah...

DOWNLOAD // Jason Castro - Let's Just Fall In Love Again
American Idol Season 7 contestant: Jason Castro is about to release his album! I'm not a big fan of him and not following his musical career, but this song is worth to check.

DOWNLOAD // 78Violet - Next Worse Thing
To end this post, let's have 78Violet on it! As you might recognized before, Aly & Aj CHANGE their band name into 78Violet. Ugh! I don't like this. Changing name would affect their music style right? Well, not WHOLE of it, but we could hear clearly that 'Next Worse Thing' (oh yes, the title make sense now) sounds rockier then before and we can't even hear the melody they used to bring. Hmmph. I just don't like this one and it would be hard to love this song. Let's hope they have another GOOD stuff for us on their upcoming album.

MEET: Marina Chello!

MARINA CHELLO
Visit: MySpace
Buy (iTunes): Marina Chello - Sideline

For singer/songwriter Marina Chello, music has been everything for as long as she can remember. Originally from Uzbekistan, Marina learned English from singers like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Celine Dion. After years of voice and music classes, Marina began writing her own songs, eventually reaching out to notable producers via her Myspace Page. She greatly impressed legendary producer and Bad Boy Records President Harve Pierre, and is now preparing to release her debut album, What's Done Is Done, on Crazy Joint/Bad Boy.

There is significant excitement brewing around the young singer as she finishes recording her album, a heartache-heavy hybrid of next-level pop and R&B. Her single "Sideline" is already being picked up by Top 40 stations across the country and continues to gain momentum, while her uptempo track "What's Done Is Done" has also been snapped up by DJs across the country. A flurry of glowing online profiles and reviews on sites including Elle Girl, Teen, Young Hollywood, Alloy, MySpace and Imeem, just to name a few, have solidified the buzz, as fans hurry to upload their own versions of her songs on YouTube.

Since she grew up singing in several languages, including Russian, Spanish, and Italian, she brings a unique perspective to pop music. Her sound blends all the elements that have gone into the making of a young artist on the eve of great success – the inherently relatable songwriting that reflects a childhood glued to the radio, the passion of a young girl raised between two cultures, and the energy of collaborating with some of today’s most notable producers. With What's Done Is Done, it’s clear that there’s a new voice on the scene, and as "Sideline" continues its climb up the charts, Marina is ready to take center stage. Buy "Sideline" now on iTunes, and check out her Myspace page for more information.
