L-O-V-I-N-G this remix of The Wanted's 'We Own The Night' (hello boy band and the song is ridiculously catchy) by Alex and Drew from NYC.
The aforementioned duo is better known as The Chainsmokers. Now for those familiar with the genius work by The Chainsmokers you might be all 'The Wanted really? No way. Get out!' But yes they did. And this is what Alex and Drew had to say about that...
Luka and Stjepan from 2CELLOS were in NYC earlier this week and I had a chance to fire off some questions to the boys...here's what they had to say about classical music and their MJ cover that went viral and launched their career.
For parents that want to introduce their kids to classical music (so they have an appreciation for it)—what classical pieces would you suggest they start off listening to?
So my new favourite, can't-stop-listening-to-it album is 'Kill Yourself For Change' by the Brooklyn indie rock band Brigg Fair.
I love this album and this band x1000.
“Kill Yourself For Change” was recorded primarily in upstate New York by British Producer, Iestyn Polson (David Bowie, Patti Smith). Lead boy Geoff Ereth met Polson by chance at a Polish doughnut bakery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which subsequently led to an agreement to make the debut record together.
"I'm motivated by the urge to make music and express myself, rather than by some abstract idea of being some kind of pop star, so I feel like I'm making music for the right reasons." ~Edward Rogers
I'll never forget the morning of September 11, 2001...walking in our radio station's newsroom right after the first plane hit the Twin Towers and watching the events unfold.
Essie Jain, a British musician based in NYC, recently wrote and recorded a new album of lullabies for babies/children and their parents called 'Until The Light Of The Morning'
So how did Essie come about doing this lullaby project? Essie explains it like this...
