Zoli’s Virtual Fans Catapult New Single “Like A Star”

Hungarian pop sensation ZOLI launched his latest single “Like a Star” this week on the shoulders of virtual fans across the globe.

On Aug. 8, ZOLI concluded a Facebook contest where fans voted “Like a Star” to the first of three singles released – a unique, fan-focused approach that is paying off.

ZOLI’s work is a soulful pop-fusion. A trained jazz singer, classical pianist, songwriter, and a pop idol in his native Hungary, ZOLI formed his own record label, Z Music Entertainment, in 2012 and works with an international team, including noted LA-based mixer Rudy Haeusermann (K$esha, Hanson, En Vogue and Tupac).

“Making music has to be a fun process,” ZOLI said in a recent interview. “And using tools like Facebook (www.facebook.com/zolimusic), my website (www.zolimusic.com), Jango, electronic polls, online contests and email to include my fans was very new and exciting.”

“Admittedly the hardest part of this kind of development is trying to keep the personal connection in a virtual world,” ZOLI said. And while it is the reaction of live audience that inspires him, social media and the Web transcends borders and brings ZOLI’s work to the wider world with this latest release.

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.”

Curse & Kisses tracks are also available on Amazon.com; iTunes and more.

A new single, “Lights Out”, will be released September 28, 2010 by recording artists Fallon and Felisha

A new single, “Lights Out”, will be released September 28, 2010 by recording artists Fallon and Felisha. “Lights Out” is a club-banging, fist-pumping tribute to being young and alive. It sets the party mood for anyone who wants to dance and embrace the moment. As Fallon describes it, “It’s one of my favorite songs to perform. I think our fans will appreciate the energy!”

Fallon and Felisha have had an impact on the music industry for many years. They started their careers alongside their sisters, Farrah and Neosha, in the popular R&B group, Cherish. Their debut album “Unappreciated”, received much critical acclaim. It was certified gold and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, making them one of only a few R&B girl groups to hit the charts top five in almost a year. Their hit single, “Do It To It,” landed the number twelve spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and was listed on many other Billboard charts including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The twins are currently building on the success and experience they had with the group Cherish and are now expanding their artistic genius toward a broader audience. In Felisha’s words,” I’ve always had a love and passion for pop music. Music, to me, is supposed to reflect who you really are, reaching across genres, and relating to individuals from all walks of life”.

Through their lyrics, they share insight into being young and dealing with relationships. They are inspired by an eclectic mix of artists, and drawing upon that inspiration they are ready to relate to a diverse group of people. In this new decade of a continuously changing music industry, Fallon and Felisha are ready to begin a new era.

The new single “Lights Out” will be available for downloads on iTunes, Amazon Mp3, Rhapsody, Napster, MySpace, eMusic and www.fallonandfelisha.com online store. The official website is also set to launch September 28, 2010.
