Curse and Kisses Entertainment Announces New Artist Album Release

“Curse and Kisses is over the top, heavily produced, and garish hard rock with an underlying current of sex and glitter that can’t quite outshine the music’s glistening grime.” – Bryan Rodgers, Aerial Publicity.

Orlando, FL (USA), Monday – January 16, 2012 — Curses and Kisses Entertainment, LLC announces this week a release from new artist Curse & Kisses. ( http://www.cursenkisses.com ) All it takes is a listen – the music speaks for itself.

Curse & Kisses is being defined as “Orgasmic Rock.” It’s this phrase that communicates the fact that this hot new style of music has the ability to provide its listeners with extreme pleasure. Curse & Kisses covers a wide range of genres in his music that include funk, pop, psychedelic rock and rhythm and blues.

The new self titled extended play includes six tracks: Blue Eyes; Zombie; Stone Cold Freak; Curse & Kisses and two Instrumentals. ( http://www.cursenkisses.com )

As frank as Curse & Kisses so often is about desire, drugs and the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle, that “underlying current of sex and glitter” is only out-shined by “the music’s glistening grime,” said music critic Bryan Rodgers. “The sound is one of conflict and aggression, almost like shock metal cut with a dusting of progressive rock and funk.”

The artist started playing at the age of 13.

“I can provide aggression and subtlety in one song,” he says. “My music is like a roller coaster.”

Curses & Kisses is working to build interest and support with some creative techniques. For example, its “Rock Wall of Fame” gives interested fans, artists and businesses a way to highlight themselves on the wall and provides a way to show support for the band. For $10, users can upload an image of their choice; include a short message; and a website address. This content will stay on the artist website forever.

This innovative independent artist is also working to raise funds for recording, promoting, photography, and various other expenses. Supporters will receive custom rewards of appreciation from Curse & Kisses. Custom rewards are distributed exclusively to supporters through Kickstarter. Rewards will not be resold or distributed anywhere else. Also, supporters who donate $25 or more will also receive recognition forever on the “Rock Wall of Fame.”

Antonio “A&R” Richardson Promises Growth in 2012

Antonio “A&R” Richardson had a great year in 2011, but in 2012 he’ll only get better.

St. Paul, MN (USA), Thursday – January 05, 2012 — For Antonio “A&R” Richardson, 2011 was a year of development. The Saint Paul, Minn. hip hop artist and actor built on the success he experienced in 2009 and 2010 to further challenge himself to only get better.

In 2011, Richardson saw the release of two major motion pictures, DreamWorks’ Transformers 3 and Warner Bros’ Contagion, both of which he had the pleasure of being cast in. He also released Cool Is Where I Live, a mixtape available on his website, ionlygetbetter.com.

Perhaps the most rewarding challenge for Richardson in 2011 was the launch of his brand, Busy Little Beavers. Creating a clothing line has been a lifelong dream for Richardson, who is continuously cultivating his own style to represent his individuality using the newest trends to compliment his classic style. As an entrepreneur, Richardson ( http://www.ionlygetbetter.com ) values innovation, creativity, and ambition. He emphasizes attention to detail and quality in everything he does. Busy Little Beavers is no exception; Richardson takes great care in creating a product that lives up to his values: detail is key; quality is common sense. The name Busy Little Beavers came from a recording studio session Richardson had in April 2011. The name refers to a sound that moved Richardson, “I asked my producer what the sound was called and he told me “Busy Little Beaver”. I couldn’t explain it, but the name struck me.” For Richardson, Busy Little Beavers was the brand he had been trying to formulate his entire life.

Richardson also had the honor of participating in an after school program for the students of Elizabeth Hall Elementary School in Minneapolis, Minn. The program was developed to improve test scores by providing students with a structured environment to increase academic skills through participation in enrichment activities of their choice. When the program was looking for a music teacher for the fourth and fifth grade students, Richardson was a natural choice. “Music has really saved my life, I don’t know where I would be without it”, says Richardson, who was the same age as his students when he began writing music.

Fans can expect 2012 to be just as busy for Richardson, who plans to release both a mixtape and album in the coming months and to continue to build Busy Little Beavers. Richardson also has a few new business ventures on the horizon that will be sure to please his followers.
