CHERRYTREE/ INTERSCOPE ARTIST ELLIE GOULDING ANNOUNCES US TOUR DATES
IN SUPPORT OF STATESIDE DEBUT LIGHTS OUT MARCH 8TH
US INVASION COMMENCES AT SXSW

UK singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding announced today that she will tour in support of her stateside debut, LIGHTS out March 8th on Cherrytree/ Interscope Records. The tour will commence with performances at SXSW and wrap at Coachella in Indio,CA.

Currently nominated for two 2011 BRIT Awards (for "British Female Solo Artist" and "British Breakthrough Act"), Goulding is gearing up for the Stateside release of Lights. "I'm really excited to come to America and visit new places and see new countryside," she says. "I feel ready to introduce my music and see what people think of it there. I'm hoping they'll like it and be inspired, the way I was when I first heard certain artists. I want to create that excitement you get when you've discovered something special and feel happy to have ever come across it in the first place."

Having already conquered her native Britain with the best selling debut album of 2010, Lights -- premiering at No. 1 on the U.K. album chart, four hit singles she co-wrote, and a BRIT award -- singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding is ready to make a similar splash in America with her sparkling electro-folk-pop sound. This past December "Your Song" hit #2 on the charts and #1 on the iTunes Chart and the video has received over 7 million views. The focus track, "Starry Eyed" has already received over 13 million views on YouTube.

This past September, Ellie made her maiden voyage to the US in support of her EP, AN INTRODUCTION TO ELLIE GOULDING. She performed in New York and Los Angeles to rave reviews. The New Yorker called Ellie "the future of music" and the Los Angeles Times raved, "She can reel off some powerful drum and guitar chops and her voice is a serious and sure instrument in person."

Oh Land

THE "ARTIST TO WATCH" FOR 2011;

SELF-TITLED ALBUM TO BE RELEASED MARCH 15TH

MAJOR SLATE OF TV PERFORMANCES SCHEDULED, INCLUDING LETTERMAN, CARSON, KIMMEL AND THE LOGO AWARDS

OH LAND KICKS OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
MARCH 5TH WITH OMD

(New York, NY) – Heralded by critics as the "Artist to Watch in 2011," Epic Records recording artist Oh Land will release her self-titled debut album March 15th. Oh Land has unveiled a jam-packed schedule leading up to the release including national television appearances, a string of SXSW dates and a much-anticipated first-ever North American tour with OMD kicking off on March 5th.

Oh Land is without question one of the most talked about new artist for 2011, landing on many critics' must-listen lists in advance of her highly anticipated debut album. The eleven song album is a mix of lavish loops and layered vocals that pound through on songs like the album's first single "Sun of a Gun." The jungle drumming electro-pop of songs like "White Nights" evokes a quest to find peace and a sense of home in the chaos of a city that never sleeps. The speaker-panning samples and honeyed hooks of Dan Carey (The Kills, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip) and Dave McCracken (Depeche Mode, Beyoncé, AFI) along with Oh Land have created an album of rich harmonies, beautiful symphonic arrangements over the enchanting voice of Oh Land.

"This album is all of my secrets, wishes, dreams and fears," explains Oh Land. "I tell stories from my life wrapped in fairytales and fables all happening in the dreamy landscapes of a world I call Oh Land. I hope people will find an escape in the music and let their thoughts and dreams run wild, just for a moment."

A series of television appearances have been scheduled, kicking off with her debut performance on the CBS "Late Show with David Letterman," on March 2nd followed by NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly" with more to be announced soon. Oh Land is also set to take the stage at Logo's Network's "NewNowNext Awards" 2011 where she is nominated for "Brink of Fame: Music Artist."

March will mark Oh Land's triumphant return to SXSW week in Austin, Texas (where she was discovered in 2009) with over 10 performances including Fader Fort, Billboard Showcase and Perez Hilton Showcase.

In other news, VEVO selected Oh Land as part of their groundbreaking emerging-artist platform, LIFT, which produces exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, video premieres and intimate live concerts over the course of 8 weeks delivering over 150 million impressions to Oh Land videos on YouTube. In addition, Oh Land won "MTVU's Freshmen Five" artist contest charging her debut music video for "Sun of a Gun" into rotation.

EVA "Not My Daddy"

Click to preview "Not My Daddy" by EVA: http://soundcloud.com/eva-15/sets/not-my-daddy

EVA

There are tons of potential rising stars every year in pop music. But, none more memorable than the dynamic and alluring, one-named Eva. She has already caught the eye of Snoop Dogg, Lupe Fiasco, and Scott Storch. Now, it's your turn to discover who Eva is: singer, dancer, and baby pop star.

With her long blond locks, bubbly personality and the all-American story, she proves that dreams still come true. "I just want to put me out there," says a passionate Eva. "I want people to be able to see me and my personality. I want people to like my music. I want people to put my music into their daily lives. That's my dream come true." The dream will soon be real.

Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, but raised in the Bay Area of California, Eva always wanted to be a star. Since her days as a little girl jamming out to Britney Spears, singing Christina Aguilera hits in her bedroom mirror and rocking to the tunes of nineties boy bands, the California girl had an unstoppable passion for dance music. Now, the up and coming pop songstress is on the verge of international super stardom. Like so many before her, Eva is climbing the ranks of fame, bound to be one of the hottest names in contemporary music.

Eva's sound allows you to escape into a dream world of beauty, rhythm and dance. With a musical combination of early Madonna and Britney Spears at her "Oops!...I Did It Again" peak, the tracks on the 2009 digital EP, In The Beginning, distributed by In Ya Face Records, is everything a pop album should be. There is no political agenda, she wants you to love life and have her music as your soundtrack. "I'm all about having fun," says Eva, 20. "I love dancing, I love performing. I'm all about feel good music. A good song that makes you want to have fun, want to dance!"

There is the Lady Gaga-type "Fashion Show," produced by Scott Storch, who is known for chart toppers with Justin Timberlake, Pink, Beyonce, and Britney Spears.

The catchy "Slow Down" showcases Eva with hip-hop heavyweight Lupe Fiasco. Produced by Pooh Bear, the head-nodding track, which has garnered over 500,000 plays on MySpace.com, warns listeners to slow down in life and love.

The infectious track, "Popular," is produced by Poli Paul and teams Eva with the legendary Snoop Dogg. The bass-heavy song is perfection for the clubs and an ode to the "popular" beauties from Hollywood to New York City who rule the dance floor. You need some musical chops to keep up with Snoop in the studio! "Snoop is a really nice guy; he's passionate and loves what he does. To say I have a song with him is always cool," says a humble Eva.

Although she sings about fashion, glam and popularity, ironically, Eva, who graduated from Los Gatos High School, was never one of the cool kids. "When I was in high school, I was never popular. I rocked to the beat of my own drum." This beat gave her the attention she craved, regardless if people understood her. "I liked having attention, I'll admit it. I liked to put it out there."

Eva is no standard pop-tart. Over the past few years, she has put her soul where the beat is, paying dues in the industry, managing to land gigs as the opening act for hip-hop icon Nas and Grammy-winner Alicia Keys. While Eva's sound is definitely pop, she transcends musical confines, adding a little hip-hop, R&B, funk and rock to her music. "I want anyone to be able to rock out to my music!" stresses Eva. "I definitely don't want to stick myself into one genre. Even though pop is where I personally feel the most comfortable, I like pushing myself, being challenged and creating music that is likable to everybody."

Through all of the emerging success Eva maintains a strong relationship with her family, which keeps her grounded and allows her to be a better artist. "I love my family very much," she explains. "They've been nothing more than extremely supportive and helpful through this whole process. I'm just so thankful for my parents. I'm really a humble person; it's all because of my family and the morals my parents have taught me."

Now, Eva is reloaded with new music, more passion and a grasp on her goal as an artist. This was her dream from the start and she is never letting go. "There has never been a moment where I've said, 'I'm going to be a star one day!' Ever since I was little and saw people like Britney Spears perform on stage, sing and have people look up to them—I've always wanted that. I'm so excited it's all happening and starting to come true."

Neon Hitch

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Check out the video for "Get Over U" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN8QCYsXhao&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Co-written by Sia with Neon and produced by Benny Blanco (Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Mike Posner, Britney Spears, Taio Cruz)

Taken from Neon Hitch's debut album, Beg, Borrow, and Steal out on Reprise Records later this year

NEON HITCH

Newly signed to Warner Bros. Records, British singer and songwriter Neon Hitch may not have begun recording her debut album yet, but she already has the perfect title all figured out. "I'm calling it Beg, Borrow, and Steal," she says, "because quite frankly, I have done everything to get where I am now. The stories I could tell you …" she trails off before adding: "I have a lot of emotion about the things I've been through, and I've channeled it into music, because that's my outlet for expressing myself."

The emotion is palpable in Hitch's soulful, jazz-inflected vocals, which are deployed to striking effect atop a rich, organic backdrop of eclectic pop melodies and hip-hop-tinged beats crafted by her executive producer Benny Blanco (Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Britney Spears). Along the way, songs like "Black and Blues," "More Than A Friend," "Piece of Shit," and "Black Sunshine" weave a captivating tale of a life hard-lived and a happiness hard-won.

Neon (her real name given to her by her lighting technician father) was born in London to hippy parents in May 1986. "The day I was born, our house burned down, so we were homeless as soon as my mum gave birth," Hitch says. Her parents broke up soon after and Hitch and her mother Irene set out to travel the world in a caravan. "We were gypsies," Hitch says. "I know that has a different connotation in the States than it does in Britain. We weren't thieves, we were traveling street performers." By the age of four, Hitch was performing with the alternative, theatrical circus Archaos, and training to be a trapeze artist, fire swinger, and stilt walker. Her sister Pema was born five years later, and Irene and her two daughters traveled from festival to festival around Europe earning a living from street performing and making and selling jewelry and clothing. At age 10, Hitch began writing poetry, which led to her writing lyrics.

Her family, which by now included two more siblings, lived in a bus that didn't have electricity, running water, central heating, or television, so Hitch had little knowledge of pop culture, but her father, who had worked and toured with David Bowie, Duran Duran, Sting, and Annie Lennox, brought her Madonna and Michael Jackson cassettes as gifts. "He said, 'These are the only two artists you need to know about,'" she recalls. Over the next few years, Hitch found herself alternating between traveling with friends all over Europe and living in squats in London. At 16, she followed a boyfriend to India where she spent two years looking after a group of street kids. "It was amazing, but I didn't feel fulfilled in life so I went back to London to try to pursue my singing career." She supported herself and Pema by rummaging for items they found in the trash and selling them at London's various outdoor markets. "I've done so many things to make money," Hitch says. "I used to push a shopping trolley up this huge hill to the market at 5 a.m. in the freezing rain. We'd just sell crap and make 10 pounds."

But Hitch never gave up on her dream. Her boyfriend at the time introduced her to his friend, pop singer Neneh Cherry ("Buffalo Stance"), whose husband, Cameron McVey, wound up managing Hitch and introducing her to various producers. After singing on several tracks for British dancehall/reggae label Greensleeves Records, Hitch signed to The Streets' Mike Skinner's indie label The Beats Recordings (a subsidiary of Atlantic's 679 Recordings) and went on tour with Skinner. She performed her first major show opening for rapper 50 Cent at England's Nottingham Arena before the label shut down in 2007. "Everything crumbled, but I didn't let it stop me," Hitch says. Shortly after, she received a MySpace message from Benny Blanco's manager James Johnson, of Pilot Creative, who encouraged her to fly out to New York to meet him, but Hitch was pretty much homeless and had no money. It was around this time that she bumped into an old friend, singer Amy Winehouse, whom she knew when their boyfriends were friends. Winehouse invited her to move in. "I love that girl like my own sister," Hitch says.

In 2008, James flew Hitch out to NYC for a meeting, signed on as her manager, and landed her a publishing deal with EMI. Hitch co-wrote "Stupid Love Letter," off the Friday Nights Boys' album Off The Deep End, and the hit single "Blah Blah Blah," off newly minted pop star Ke$ha's No. 1 album Animal. She has also worked with Miike Snow (appearing on Blanco's remix of "Burial"), Sky Ferreira, The Darkness, and Mike Posner. A song she wrote with 3OH!3, "Follow Me Down," will appear on the soundtrack to the new Tim Burton film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Last summer James and Blanco introduced Hitch to Warner Bros. Records' Senior Vice President of A&R and American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi who signed her to a recording deal.

"For the last two years, I've been trying to figure out my sound," Hitch says, "and I've decided to just be myself because my life up till now is enough to fill 10 albums' worth of songs." This year, Hitch will go into the studio with executive producer Blanco and a host of top-notch producers, including Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Kylie Minogue), Jimmy Harry (Pink, Kelly Clarkson), Toby Gad (Beyoncé, Fergie), Kevin Rudolf (Lil Wayne, Cobra Starship), Claude Kelly (Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears), Savan (Carrie Underwood, Allison Iraheta), and No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal (Pink, Gwen Stefani).

"I want to be the kind of artist that people feel like they can relate to," Hitch says. "Maybe my music will make them feel a bit less lonely. They may not be able to relate to my story, but they'll be able to relate to me as a person. The album is going to be me, inside and out, because I'm a very honest person. I've been through so many bad patches, but having the opportunity to do this makes it seem like it all happened for a reason. I want people to know that, yeah, times are tough, but you know what? There's a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm living proof."

I Square "Hey Sexy Lady"

FOR IMMEDAITE RELEASE

Click to launch the "Hey Sexy Lady" Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgU-zH-HC0Q

Get to Know i SQUARE, a New Dimension for Music

Hip hop, pop, R&B and electronica converge to form i SQUARE, whose debut single "Hey Sexy Lady" is the perfect party track, holding steady on the Billboard Dance/Club Play chart and showing the shape of pop music to come.

i SQUARE, comprised of Mike J, Destiny, Briddy and 10Beats, formed by chance in 2009 at Babyface's Brandon Way studios. The group had explosive chemistry right off the bat, and charmed Sean "Diddy" Combs - now an executive producer on their forthcoming debut album - with their first performance. Says Mike J, "Diddy is seriously like our big brother. We can call on him for anything, and we always go to him for advice. He gives us a perspective that is invaluable."

The i SQUARE philosophy starts with a distinct sound, and that sound can incorporate anything from the four distinct personalities that make up the group. Destiny, a space-age femme fatale with a larger-than-life style, explains, "'Hey Sexy Lady'" introduces the world to each of us. Mike J's a balladeer. 10Beats gets people hyped with super sexy rhymes. Briddy's amped all the time, and his energy is contagious. I do the ethereal singing. It's our duty not to half step. We're about to smash the stage."

Get a taste of what this boundary-bending group is all about at isquareonline.com, where fans can get all the latest updates from the band and see out the "Hey Sexy Lady" Skrillex Remix video, which cuts together clips from the original music video and behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot. The Skrillex track can be found on the Hey Sexy Lady Remixes EP, which features four other cuts by Afrojack, Laidback Luke, and more and is available now on iTunes.

WORLDWIDE BEST-SELLING, GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING ALBUM OF THE YEAR (1987) FEATURES 6 HIT SINGLES: "I WANT YOUR SEX," "FAITH," "FATHER FIGURE," "ONE MORE TRY," "MONKEY," "KISSING A FOOL"


Of the many events that truly define the evolution of global pop at the end of the 20th century, the release of George Michael's debut solo album, Faith, in November 1987, occupies a special place in music history. Spending 87 weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart (including 12 weeks at #1 in 1988), a rare RIAA diamond certification (for U.S. sales in excess of 10 million units, the biggest selling album of 1988, by far), and the Grammy Award as Album Of The Year – are just the tip of the Faith iceberg.

Added to it are the album's six top-charted singles: "I Want Your Sex," "Faith," "Father Figure," "One More Try,""Monkey" and "Kissing A Fool.." Together, they maintained George Michael's presence on the Hot 100 for a cumulative 85+ weeks, from 1987 to 1989. Written, produced and arranged entirely by George, Faith was a singular achievement that placed him at a level of royal stardom in the '80s alongside Michael Jackson, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Madonna.


Three new packages pay tribute to this landmark album, beginning with FAITH: DELUXE EDITION. This numbered, limited edition box set can be pre-ordered now, exclusively at www.GeorgeMichael.com.

With his olive complexion and stubble-whiskered Olympian good looks (courtesy of his Greek heritage), the trademark crucifix earring, leather motorcycle jacket, and blue jeans – George Michael graduated from the duo known as Wham! to become an icon to tens of millions of fans around the world. Faith confirmed George's status as a songwriter of outstanding ability and emotional depth.


Faith not only earned diamond (i.e. 10x-platinum) certifications in the U.S. and Canada, but also hit 4x-platinum in his UK homeland, and 5x-platinum in Australia. Equally massive sales and chart figures were also achieved in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland – the list goes on and on. To date, over the course of his five studio albums and some 30-plus original single titles, George Michael has generated more than 200 million record sales.


In addition to the Grammy for Album Of The Year, Faith won three American Music Awards: Favorite Album (Soul/R&B), Favorite Male Vocalist (Soul/R&B) and Favorite Male Vocalist (Pop/Rock). "Father Figure" took home an MTV Award for Best Direction.

Adele - 21

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Taken from "21" Columbia Records/XL) available Feb 22nd

COLUMBIA RECORDS ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF 21, THE NEW

STUDIO ALBUM FROM TWO TIME GRAMMY® AWARD WINNER ADELE

ADELE'S 21 AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. AND CANADA, TUESDAY FEBRUARY 22

Columbia Records/XL is proud to announce the North American release of 21, the eagerly awaited sophomore album from British singer-songwriter Adele, on Tuesday February 22. 21, is the follow up to Adele's critically acclaimed, award winning debut album 19 (both named after her age at the time the songs were written). Renowned for her incredibly unique vocal ability and songwriting, Adele's debut received two Grammy Awards in 2009 (Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) as well as a BRIT Award in 2008 (Critics Choice).

Recorded in Malibu and London, 21 offered Adele the opportunity to work with such luminary producers and songwriters as Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Dan Wilson and Fraser T. Smith, as well as continuing to work with Francis "Eg" White and Jim Abbiss. This new collection of songs showcases the growth of this incredible artist, who at the very young age of twenty two, exhibits the poise of a seasoned veteran. Adele's music takes some new direction while staying true to her signature style. "I discovered lots of artists I'd never heard of, particularly Wanda Jackson, Allison Krauss, Yvonne Fair, Andrew Bird, Neko Case, Lady Antebellum and Steel Drivers who I fell in love with. Then I delved in to more from artists I've loved forever - Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Elbow, Mos Def, Alanis Morissette, Tom Waits and Sinead O'Connor. There's something in every single one of these artists that have really really inspired 21" noted Adele.

"Rolling in the Deep" the pounding, energetic first single from 21, will impact at adult radio formats on November 15. The video for "Rolling in the Deep" was directed by Sam Brown (Jay-Z, Foo Fighters, Doves) and will premiere in early December. Adele will perform "Rolling in the Deep" live on The Ellen Degeneres Show on Friday December 3.

In early 2008, as her debut was reaching Double Platinum status in her native UK, Adele took North America by storm delivering groundbreaking performances on everything from Saturday Night Live to the Grammy Awards, where her four nominations yielded two impressive wins. Entertainment Weekly described Adele's voice as "astonishing" and People called it "a knockout that's rich and supple," but The LA Times put it best when it proclaimed "Adele exudes stylish confidence." Before returning home to work on her sophomore album Adele headlined the newly incarnated VH1 Divas Live and played a sold-out show at Los Angeles' fabled Hollywood Bowl in front of 19,000 devoted fans.

Jessie J

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Click to launch the video for "Do It Like A Dude" : http://www.vevo.com/watch/jessie-j/do-it-like-a-dude-explicit/USUV71002683

Taken from debut album WHO YOU ARE (Lava/Universal Republic)

With an infectious laugh, 6-inch heels and a perfectly styled bob, she walks into the room and goes straight to the piano. Possessing a good sense of humour, a raw British accent and an un-doubtable eye for fashion, Jessie J has arrived. "I can't play...man, I wish I could. I just like to pretend I can," she smiles.

Jessie J is not just a great pop artist…or a great R&B artist, or even a great hip-hop artist. The British-born, Essex-bred vocalist is malleable enough to encompass several genres, while displaying vocals reminiscent of Motown-era greats. Although she may not be able to play the piano, Jessie is armed with the chops to blow people away, and the song-writing skills to pen a worldwide hit.

After one listen, it's clear the extraordinary Jessie J stands alone. For Jessie, her Lava/Universal Republic debut album, WHO YOU ARE, showcases the skills of a gifted lyricist while highlighting an unforgettable journey.

While Jessie's road to success hasn't always been easy, she's quick to emphasize the normalcy of her childhood. Growing up the youngest of three children, Jessie's mother was a nursery school teacher and her father a social worker. "My family is very creative, but no one in my family sings... I was the only one who put my life to a melody..."

For Jessie, melody has been the driving force behind her successful career as a singer/songwriter. At 17, Jessie wrote her first song "Big White Room." The song was inspired by real life events—specifically the time she was hospitalized at 11-years-old while sharing a room with a younger boy who sadly lost his life.

"I knew I wanted to write a song about that experience," she divulges. The song has followed Jessie J throughout her career, and it remains a YouTube and crowd favorite when she performs it live. Her YouTube rendition has been viewed nearly 300,000 times and has garnered over 50 covers organically without radio airplay. "'Big White Room' is my comfort blanket, and I'm so happy that people can personalize the meaning of the song..." states Jessie.

Around the same time, Jessie J was signed to a short-lived independent label deal. She toured with various high-profile artists including Macy Gray, Sugarbabes, Girls Aloud, Chris Brown, Jools Holland, Cyndi Lauper and Taio Cruz. While showcasing her diva-infused voice and infectious songs, she had the freedom to explore her sound and a chance to teach herself how to adapt to diverse audiences. "I never had a band. It was me, my CD, my heels and a huge stage to fill. I loved that I had no one and nothing to hide behind..." The label eventually went bankrupt and closed its doors.

Still armed with a SONY ATV publishing deal, Jessie continued to hone her writing skills. It wasn't long before Jessie had opportunities thrown at her by the dozen. One of her songs, "Sexy Silk," was selected by NIVEA for a worldwide campaign. "I remember seeing the ad at the cinema and wanting to tell everyone, 'That's me! That's me!"

In the last few years, Jessie has penned songs for the likes of Chris Brown and Lisa Lois the Holland X Factor winner. Her life also inspired the melody of a major hit record, "Party in the USA," sung and performed by Miley Cyrus. "When Dr. Luke texted me saying my song was #1 on iTunes, I thought it was a joke!" she laughs.

Now, Jessie's signed worldwide to Universal Music Group. In the US, she inked a deal with Lava/Universal Republic Records and Island Records in the UK. "I feel like my album is an example of what exists in the world of music right now. It's like my album is an iPod... it's like when you go clubbing these days, you don't have a pop room and a separate R&B room, they're all together. People just appreciate great music..."

The title track and 1st single, "Who You Are" is about a point in Jessie's career where the singer's aspirations were hanging on a thread. "The most important thing in life is to be happy, but everything had become too 'business' and sterile. I really thought I was going to quit—not music, but the music industry...it wasn't easy," Jessie states. "I was really down, but when I'm down, I write a song about it."

Not all of Jessie J's songs are built around hardship. Much like Jessie herself, a lot of songs on WHO YOU ARE, are of the fun, upbeat variety she displayed in previous songs such as, "Party in the USA." Other songs that have had immense reactions on YouTube include "Rainbow," "Stand Up" and "Whose Laughing Now"—all written about personal times in her life.

Mix a bit of Rihanna with Gwen Stefani, add the charisma of Pink, and you will start to get an idea of what kind of girl Jessie J is. As much as she can be a voice for the hard times, those soulful, Aretha Franklin-esque vocals can also soundtrack the best of times too. Take the Dr. Luke (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus) produced song "Price Tag"—an upbeat, energetic dance number that highlights Jessie's booming voice and can still stand out amidst glossy production.

There's also the live staple, "Mamma Knows Best," which showcases her hair-raising range and is an extremely funky ode to her loving parents. "My mom and dad always know best. I hate to admit that sometimes, but the song says it all. I base my confidence on purity and I want to be a role model... I want people to know that I am an unedited version of myself. I plan to expose the good and the bad to show that life is about being WHO YOU ARE..."

Zoe Badwi - Freefallin

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zoë Badwi - Freefallin'

If you've had an eye on the club chart or a foot on the dance floor over the last couple of years, then you'll be well acquainted with the name Zoë Badwi by now.

In late 2008, the Melbourne-based dance-pop diva burst on to the scene with the huge club smash Release Me that was the song of the summer. Produced by double ARIA-award winning outfit TV ROCK, it spent a massive 7 consecutive weeks in the #1 spot on the Australian ARIA Club Charts, and scored both ARIA and APRA nominations. A progressive monster, Release Me still fills dance floors over 18 months later, prompting The Freemasons, who've worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue, Kelly Rowland, Shakira and The Eurythmics, to remark: "We still play Release Me every week! It was our fave track of last year - we love Zoë!"

The track's appeal swiftly spread beyond Australian shores, and it was subsequently released in 26 countries around the world (including the UK, US, Canada, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Brazil), commandeering dance floors and club charts from Berlin to Beijing in the process.

Throughout 2009, the magic continued, as two further collaborations with TV Rock - Don't Wan'cha and In The Moment - blitzed the Top 10 of the ARIA Club Chart. Zoë embarked on an international run of live dates, lighting up dance floors in hot spots such as London, Mykonos, and Sao Paulo, while remixers like Moto Blanco, Denzal Park, Niels Van Gogh, Ian Carey, and M.Y.N.C. Project lined up to work on her songs.

But Freefallin' - Zoë's latest assault on global dance floors - may be her finest moment yet. Fusing classic club beats from Australia's own Denzal Park (who have already topped the ARIA Club Chart twice in 2010) with a powerful, heady vocal and anthemic keys, Freefallin' is a dance-pop triumph. An uplifting floor-filler, its infectious singalong chorus will immediately take up residence in even the most seasoned clubbers' heads.

As well as topping ARIA Club Chart, the track immediately found support at key radio stations across the country, becoming the #4 most added track to radio in its first week, and beginning an ascent of the national radio airplay chart. It wasn't long before the international dance community got wind of another global smash in the making, and releases in the UK, US and across Europe were immediately locked in, confirming Zoë's status as a dance-pop superstar in the making.

Marsha Ambrosius "Late Nights & Early Mornings"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Click to launch the video for "Far Away"

http://www.vevo.com/watch/marsha-ambrosius/far-away/USJRV1000062

Taken from the upcoming album LATE NIGHTS & EARLY MORNINGS (J Records)

Already proven as a talented, sought after songwriter and revered platinum-selling artist, Marsha Ambrosius is meeting the next challenge in her already impressive musical career by reinventing herself as a solo artist with her J Records debut disc LATE NIGHTS & EARLY MORNINGS.

Hailing from Liverpool, England, fans first got a taste of Marsha's talent as the singing half of the duo Floetry. Their 2000 debut Floetic produced signature singles like "Say Yes" and "Getting Late" as well as four Grammy nods. Following the 2005 release of their second studio album, Flo'Ology, the ladies veered creatively and personally. While the split was difficult, Marsha continued to build a name for herself as a songwriter and producer, creating "Butterflies" for the late Michael Jackson and other hits for artists such as Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Jamie Foxx and Nas. She's been nominated for a total of six Grammys and has been honored by BMI as their Songwriter of the Year.

Over the years, Marsha has stayed relevant as an artist via touring, writing/producing and mixtapes like 2007's Neo Soul is Dead, 2008's Yours Truly and 2010's Yours Sincerely. She also appeared as a featured artist on projects from Patti Labelle, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Jamie Foxx and Earth, Wind & Fire, among others. Eventually, Marsha signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records however a much-buzzed about solo debut never materialized due to creative glitches. Equipped with plenty of her own talent, she found herself being given songs from producers that were "great but not songs that made sense in relation to each other." Marsha calls her sound "honest and consistent" and it was important for her to make an album with an overall cohesive sound. She explains, "I think with an album everything has to make sense, like 'Where is this story going?'"

But that wasn't the only situation posing a challenge for Marsha. A basketball player since childhood, when her music career took off, her diet remained the same as when she was regularly active. Constantly on the road touring and promoting wasn't conducive to a healthy diet and resulted in her gaining 70 pounds in just one year. She finally got serious about her health and lost the weight safely and slowly over about a two-year period.

Now at a strong place mentally and physically, Marsha's ready to present her sound to the world. The first single, "Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player)," is an anthem that women and men can relate to. Marsha explains, "It's the reality of a bad break up. We wanna be decent human beings and say the right thing, you know, 'I wish you well.' But this is 'Everything that could go wrong for him I want it to because my ego is bruised and I'm acting out.'" There've been many songs written about heartbreak, but Marsha's approach to "Hope She Cheats on You" gets in your face rather than plays the victim.

LATE NIGHTS & EARLY MORNINGS is destined to be a classic, as Marsha offers a candid glimpse of her life and perspectives as a woman. Inspired by musical icons like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Prince, she concedes there is an overall male influence in her songwriting, such as the assertive sentiments heard on hits like "Say Yes." She explains, "My pen and my point of view has a certain aggression to it because I've listened to a lot of male influenced music, which I think makes me one of the most outspoken writers out here. Sometimes as a woman you don't wanna say what's on your mind for fear of being judged. But why wouldn't I say it like that if that's how I felt?" Musical peers recruited to contribute to the project include Alicia Keys, a reunion with Dre and Vidal (producers of "Say Yes"), Just Blaze and Focus.

While her success in the industry is already solidified, Marsha knows it's never easy to win over fans as a solo artist. Fortunately, she says, "It's like being thrown in the deep end. 'Okay I have to swim? Oh well.' I've taken that attitude and it's carried me forward."
