Michele Morrone – Player

Turning heads around the globe in 2022, Italian actor, model, singer, entrepreneur, and star of the blockbuster NETFLIX franchise 365 Days Michele Morrone reveals a new single entitled “Player” today. Listen to “Player” HERE.

Once again, the track showcases his skyscraping and soaring vocal fireworks over organic production. He reflects on the search for true love with another emotionally charged and engaging performance. It speaks to his uncanny ability to inhabit a song and bring it to life in vivid and vibrant color.

Stay tuned for the premiere of a slick, sexy, and sharp music video to accompany “Player” soon.

Michele recently made headlines with his return to the world of NETFLIX’s 365 Days in the mega-popular 365 Days: This Day. In tandem, he unveiled his last single “Another Day.” Thus far, it has gathered over 5 million Spotify streams and counting as well as 8.3 million YouTube views on the music video, which sees him back on screen with his 365 Days: This Day co-star Anna-Maria Sieklucka.

However, everything just paves the way for more music to come from Michele very soon. He has officially brought love back to global pop.

“Another Day” arrived on the heels of Michele’s 2020 debut album Dark Room– the unofficial soundtrack to the NETFLIX smash 365 Days, which first launched him into global stardom. The record notably spawned a string of fan favorites, including “Hard For Me,” “Feel It,” “Watch Me Burn,” and “Dark Room.” Co-written by Morrone, the songs cumulatively tallied north of 500 million streams with the music video for “Hard For Me” amassing over 52 million views and counting. Last year, he followed up with the release of “Beautiful,” which generated 5.2 million Spotify streams and over 10 million-plus views on the music video.

Following the success of his debut album, Morrone became the worldwide face of Guess Men’s Fall/Winter 2020 collection.

Originally from the Italian town of Melegnano, near Milan, Morrone grew up in Apulia, a southern Italian region, and currently resides in Rome. Prior to landing the lead role in 365 Days, Morrone had all but given up on acting, and was working as a gardener. In addition to music and acting, Morrone is also a painter and sculptor.

The track cruises along on a head-nodding beat laced with skittering percussion and horn samples. HD’s gruff flow cuts through the production as he tells a story, “I met her at the racetrack.

With seamless edits, the visual showcases HD’s neighborhood friends as he raps directly to camera.

The new single arrives on the heels of his critically acclaimed 2022 album, Find My Way.

Last year, Hd4president shook up the internet with the viral smash, “Touch Down 2 Cause Hell (Bow Bow Bow).” It reached the Top 30 at Urban Radio, piled up 20 million-plus streams, and attracted 2 Chainz & Fredo Bang for a high-profile remix. It also exploded on TikTok, inspiring nearly 2 million TikTok creations – including clips by Lizzo, Coi Leray, City Girls, Latto, Niecy Nash, Gabrielle Union, and Jessica Alba – and over 2 billion views on the platform.

Reneé Rapp – In the Kitchen

Reneé Rapp returns with her new single “In the Kitchen.” The 22-year-old delivers a poignant piano ballad that highlights her knack for penning devastating lyrics and shows off her towering vocal range. Currently winning over viewers and critics alike with her starring role as “Leighton” in the HBO Max series The Sex Lives of College Girls, this track proves that Rapp has equally developed gifts as a musician.

Listen to “In The Kitchen” (Interscope Records) by Reneé Rapp HERE

On “In the Kitchen,” Rapp hones in on a simple memory from a relationship — to convey how alone she feels. “I walk in the kitchen, my heart hits the floor,” she sings sweetly over gentle chords. “It’s you that I’m missing, just had a vision of us cooking dinner, and you’re holding me from behind.” Co-written by Reneé alongside Monsters & Strangerz (Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5), Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Blackpink), and Michael Pollack (Lizzo, Becky G, Justin Bieber), the song draws on personal moments of Reneé’s creating an emotional and raw experience for her listeners almost enduring the pain alongside her as she sings.

“In the Kitchen” is the follow up to Rapp’s major-label debut “Tattoos,” which has already amassed 3 million combined streams and growing. Throughout her career, Rapp has displayed an indelible skill for enthralling audiences with vibrant performances and genuine energy. Outside of music, she stars in the HBO Max series from Mindy Kaling entitled The Sex Lives of College Girls. It’s a role that calls for innate comedic timing and breathtaking dramatic prowess, both of which Rapp has in spades. That emotional rawness also informs “In the Kitchen,” a song that soars and devastates. With a full-length project due soon – Rapp is just getting started.

ABOUT RENEÉ RAPP:

Reneé Rapp knew was born to perform ever since she was a child. Even in her earliest memories, her love of music was always present. “I couldn’t sit still in the car unless there was music,” she says. “Otherwise, I would cry the entire time.” The North Carolina native began harnessing her natural creativity by writing and recording songs when she was just a teenager. Eventually, her career took off when she landed the coveted role of Regina George in the Tony-nominated Mean Girls musical on Broadway. Shortly after, she found widespread recognition and praise—from the likes of W, Harper’s Bazaar, and The Hollywood Report for her performance as “Leighton” on the HBO Max series “The Sex Lives of College Girls” written by Mindy Kaling. Now, more empowered than ever, Rapp turns her attention back to music, where sharing threadbare insecurities on “Tattoos” is just the beginning. “I was called ‘crazy’ a lot growing up because I didn’t know what was going on with me,” she says. “As I got older and started going to therapy, I reclaimed the word in a way that feels good to me.” In this song and in the rest of her music to come Rapp leans into a uniquely bold showcase of vulnerability to connect with her ever-growing fandom. Eager to continue to share her emotions with the world, Reneé has much more music on the way under her recent signing to Interscope Records.

India Shawn – Debut Album

Emerging as a proven creative disruptor, critically acclaimed R&B enchantress India Shawn presents her anxiously awaited full-length debut album, Before We Go Deeper, via Epic Records. Listen to BEFORE WE GO DEEPER—HERE.

Flaunting a myriad of moods, her spirt shines on the single “CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.” Clean throwback guitar threads through a head-nodding tambourine-driven beat as she relives the ups and downs of a rocky romance in a call-and-response chorus. At the heart of the track, she flexes her expansive vocal range, stretching from intimate intonation into moments of heavenly high register.

Stay tuned for the premiere of a cinematic music video to accompany the track.

BEFORE WE GO DEEPER evokes every side of INDIA’s inimitable style. “WHEN I CALL” glides on an otherworldly bounce as she urges, “Give me love, when I call, pick it up.” Her voice flutters above acoustic guitar on the intimate “SAME FLOOR,” while “JUST YOU” serves as sweet conclusion punctuated by a funky riff, swooning strings, and organic percussion. On the finale, she assures, “All I wanted is just you.” Meanwhile, the project boasts fan favorites such as “CALI LOVE,” “DON’T PLAY WITH MY HEART,” “TOO SWEET” [feat. Unknown Mortal Orchestra], “NOT TOO DEEP” [feat. 6LACK], and “MOVIN ON” [feat. Anderson .Paak].

INDIA picks up the momentum she ignited with 2021’s BEFORE WE GO EP. Beyond tallying over 10 million-plus streams, the project earned widespread critical acclaim. OKAYPLAYER named it one of “14 New Hip-Hop & R&B Albums You Should Be Listening To” and hailed it as “lush, moody, and reflective.” Snobette dubbed it “a sweetly smooth seven-song r&b project,” and HotNewHipHop summed it up as “perfect for R&B lovers.” Among many highlights, NPR applauded the single “DON’T PLAY WITH MY HEART” as “70s nostalgia at its finest, with a stank-face inducing bassline.”

ABOUT INDIA SHAWN

India Shawn is unfiltered and fearless. Listening to the rising R&B singer/songwriter’s music feels less like playing a record and more like catching up with an old friend. She bares all—nothing is off-limits. This vulnerable approach has informed all of the music she’s released over the last few years, but she applies it with a special focus on her new album Before We Go (Deeper). Over 14 songs, she reflects on emotional highs and lows, shares buried secrets, and traces the contours of world-shattering heartbreak. She projects these deeply personal musings through a kaleidoscope of old-school R&B and West Coast cool that is as heady as it is undeniable. Launching her career in famed writing collective Full Circle, Shawn initially made waves in the music industry by penning hits for Chris Brown, Diddy-Dirty Money, El DeBarge, and Keri Hilson. In between performing in Kanye West’s Sunday Service and touring with Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals, the rising artist built a loyal — and rapidly growing — following with independent releases such as Origin and Outer Limits, which showcase her soulful and seductive approach. After garnering over 20 million streams and receiving critical acclaim from NPR, Billboard, HYPEBEAST, Noisey, and UPROXX, Shawn is finally ready to share all of herself and empower an even larger audience with her deeply personal anthems. “I’m a voice for women who know their worth and what they want,” she says. “And won’t settle for anything less.”

Fifteen Tips for Hosting a Great Summer Party

Fire up the BBQ and send out the invites — it’s party time. Warm weather is here at last, which is the perfect excuse to have your friends and family for a fun summer bash. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a wild party, you want your guests to have a memorable experience. Unfortunately, get-togethers don’t just magically prepare themselves.

However, pulling off the perfect summer party may be easier than you expect. The most important thing is to have fun with the planning and prep. You set the tone for the entire event — so take a breath, count to ten and follow these easy steps for hosting a great summer party.

Write Everything Down

Party planning involves a lot of moving parts. Save your sanity by writing every little detail down, such as decoration ideas, guests, necessary supplies and your master to-do list. Keep track of everything you’ve accomplished and what needs to be done. This will be especially helpful if you’re forgetful, easily stressed or getting help with the party.

Pick the Right Mix

If you want your party to have the right vibe, you need to consider your guest list carefully. You may be tempted to invite all of your friends and family to one big get-together, but these people may not necessarily have enough in common to feel comfortable with one another.

Mixing your few more introverted friends, your overbearing aunt and your sorority sisters from college might not be the best idea. Sometimes your social circles blend well, and sometimes they won’t —- the balance is up to you.

Give Guests Enough Notice

The amount of notice you give your guests will probably depend on the formality of the party. For example, a laid-back BBQ wouldn’t need as much heads up as a birthday party. In general, though, you should give your loved ones plenty of time to make room on their calendars. The summer months book up quickly, so if you want most of your desired guests to make it, send those invites out ASAP.

Account for the Weather

The weather doesn’t always cooperate the way we want it to, so you should always have an indoor location ready to go in case of rain or extreme heat. Also, if you’re throwing a party at the height of summer temperatures, consider having your friends over in the evening. Once the sun starts to set, the air will feel more bearable.

Prep Your Home

Before you can begin to set up the decorations and get the food ready, you need to prep your space. Mow the lawn, eliminate weeds and hose down the porch to make the outside of your home ready for guests. You should also tidy and do a basic clean inside your home since guests will likely need to come through to use the bathroom.

Plan Some Entertainment

Perhaps you plan to just chat for the whole party, but even the most laid-back event needs some form of entertainment. Try setting out some basic backyard games like horseshoes, cornhole, badminton or bocce. If there’ll be kids at the party, maybe plan some water games like a sprinkler or water balloons.

Add Water and Shade

When planning a summer bash, many people often forget essentials for beating the heat like water and shade. If your outdoor area is large enough, set up a small tent for people to escape under or place a few umbrellas around. You’ll also want to stock your cooler with plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated.

Balance Decor

Themed parties can be a lot of fun when done right. However, it’s easy to go overboard with decorations and cutesy additions. For most summer get-togethers, the best option is to establish the primary focus like a wine and cheese pairing or backyard BBQ instead of an all-out theme.

Prepare the Food Ahead of Time

The last thing you want to do is spend the entire time stuck in the kitchen instead of visiting with your friends and family. Do as much cooking as possible before your guests arrive, or plan the gathering around the food. If you want to avoid food prep altogether, you could hire a food truck or caterer.

Establish the Tone

Spend some time putting together a playlist or find one online to match the mood you want for your party. Provide plenty of comfortable seating and add in soft lighting if you’ll be outside at night. Your choices in lights, decor and music will set the tone for your whole get-together. For meals setting the table before guests arrive will save you time and help to establish a particular ambiance. Paper plates and cups will feel very different from china and wine glasses.

Keep Pests Away

Many hosts forget about pest control until it’s too late. Don’t wait until your loved ones are getting eaten alive by mosquitos to remember tiki torches or bug spray. Also, your trash cans will probably be quite full of scraps after you finish cleaning up. Tightly secure your garbage to discourage foragers like raccoons, possums, deer and bears.

Offer a Variety of Drinks

Alcohol and summer parties tend to go hand in hand, so you’ll want to supply a decent variety for your guests based on their preferences. Water is also a great idea to keep everyone hydrated and cool. For anyone who prefers not to have alcohol, have a few other beverages they can enjoy, like juice, seltzer, or soda. You can also offer BRĒZ, a refreshing hemp-infused seltzer that’s perfect for guests who want a fun, relaxing alternative without the alcohol.

Prioritize Health

Nowadays, health is a primary concern for any large gathering. Take extra precautions by providing enough space for everyone to spread out if they wish. You can also designate hand washing stations where your guests can freshen up once in a while.

Also, in case your guests forget something, set out baskets with some basics. For an outdoor summer party, you might want to include bug spray, sunscreen and sunglasses.

Put Someone on Picture Duty

Have you ever reached the end of a great party only to realize no one took any pictures? Ask some of your guests to snap photos and share them with you afterward. Then you’ll have plenty of souvenirs to remember your great time. Send guests pictures they show up in, so they can share in the memories too.

Leave the Dishes

Just like you don’t want to be stuck cooking the whole time, leave the dishes till later and get out of the kitchen. There’ll be plenty of time for cleaning up after. Spend this time with your loved ones, soaking up every moment. Dishes will keep.

ArrDee – Hello Mate

Rap wonderkid ArrDee teams up with UK Funky pioneer Kyla on brand-new single “Hello Mate,” out 14th July.

Already generating a buzz after being teased on his socials, “Hello Mate” centres around the chorus from Kyla’s 2008 single “Do You Mind,” with ArrDee complementing the UK Funky classic with his trademark blend of quickfire bars and infectious hooks. This anthem arrives just in time to soundtrack a sizzling summer.

Shot in the tropical paradise of Ibiza, the sunkissed official video for “Hello Mate” see’s ArrDee adventuring around Ibiza with a love interest by day and party time by night, further accentuating the unruly, feelgood energy communicated on the track. It was directed by Alfie Cauty, also from Brighton and one of ArrDee’s close friends, and features a guest appearance from Kyla, who serenades the party with her scintillating vocals.

It marks his first single release since his acclaimed debut mixtape Pier Pressure. The highest selling debut album for a British solo artist to date in 2022, it already has over 500 million streams and hit #2 in the UK album charts, spending a further four weeks inside the top ten.

PRESIDENTE × A-ROD

PRESIDENTE LAUNCHES NEW INITIATIVE TO FUEL GREATER HISPANIC REPRESENTATION IN SPORTS BUSINESS

Diversity within sports is an ongoing issue both on and off the field. Presidente, the iconic Dominican pilsner, alongside Alex Rodriguez, President and Chairman of Presidente, are today announcing a new initiative called “Step Up To the Plate” that will look to provoke change and create more opportunities for Hispanic students interested in a career in sports.

A summer-long program, this initiative will help fuel a pipeline of qualified candidates into the business side of the industry by offering internship and networking opportunities, as well as financial support.

In partnership with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the ‘Step Up to the Plate’ program has awarded nine deserving students a three-month paid internship working on projects across the business that include a strategic sports focus, in collaboration with the Sports Marketing team at Anheuser-Busch – one of the biggest sponsors in sport for almost 40 years.

In addition to the internship, the program awards each student a grant for living expenses in a combined package worth approximately $15K, as well as the opportunity to join Anheuser-Busch in a full-time role following graduation.

“We recognize that the need to diversify leadership in sports is greater than ever, and as a brand that champions the progression of Hispanic culture, we’re more than thrilled to announce this program,” said Alex Monroy, Senior Brand Director of Presidente at Anheuser-Busch. “Step Up to the Plate is meant to bridge the gap between accessibility and opportunity for these students, and ultimately arm them with the tools and experience to “Be the Presidente” of their career in sports.”

In addition to the selected interns, Presidente will give anyone an opportunity to tune into a virtual Q&A session led by none other than former Yankee player, business mogul and Chairman of Presidente, Alex Rodriguez. Taking place on July 11, the virtual seminar will be streamed via Instagram live by Alex Rodriguez (@arod) and Presidente (@presidenteUSA)

“I’m very excited to be working with Presidente on a program that will fuel greater diversity within the industry,” said Alex Rodriguez, President and Chairman of Presidente USA. “Hispanic athletes and fans have played a major part of baseball’s success throughout the years, which is why we think it’s vital that we’re represented not just on the field but in the boardrooms as well.”

Presidente intends for this initiative to be the first push in leveling the playing field for aspiring Hispanic graduates with a passion for sports. As such, the program recipients will begin their internships in Mid-June and will be placed across the Anheuser-Busch marketing team so they can best learn the ins and outs of the business.

For additional details on the ‘Step Up to the Plate’ program and seminar, follow Presidente on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

How to Save Money on Road Trips as Gas Prices Soar

Summer is right around the corner, which means one thing: road trips! But with gas prices skyrocketing, how can you save money on your road trip? Maybe you shopped around for the best deal on your car and secured the best auto loan rates to save money, but now gas prices are spiking and the cost of living continues to rise. If you’re considering a road trip this summer, there are still ways to save to ensure that your trip doesn’t break the bank.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we will discuss a variety of ways that you can save money while traveling. Whether you’re taking a cross-country road trip or just driving to the beach, these tips will help you keep more money in your pocket. So read on and start planning your perfect summer road trip!

Make sure your car is in good condition before you hit the road – tune-ups, oil changes, and tire rotations can help you save on gas

Anyone who has ever been on a road trip knows that it can be a great way to see the country and spend time with family or friends. However, they can also be quite expensive, especially if your car isn’t in good condition. Tune-ups, oil changes, and tire rotations can help you save on gas, and making sure your car is in good condition before you hit the road will help you avoid costly breakdowns.

Planning ahead is key – start by mapping out your route and figuring out where you can save on gas

If you’re planning a road trip, there are a few things you can do to save money on gas. First, map out your route and look for ways to minimize driving. If you can take highways instead of back roads, for example, you’ll use less gas. Second, try to avoid rush hour traffic whenever possible. Not only will this help you save gas, but it will also make your trip more enjoyable. Third, plan your stops ahead of time and look for gas stations that offer discounts. Finally, make sure your car is in good shape before you hit the road. This includes checking your tires and making sure your engine is running efficiently.

You can also drive a car with better fuel efficiency and that will help you save money on gas. If you are also in the market for a new car, there are ways that you can save money when buying a car. Otherwise, you could consider renting a car for your trip. Calculating the cost of gas in a fuel guzzler with the cost of renting a fuel-efficient car or EV would help you to make that decision.

Find hotels and restaurants that offer discounts for travelers

If you’re planning a road trip, you’ll want to find ways to save money on hotels and restaurants. Luckily, there are plenty of discounts available for travelers. Many hotel chains offer discounts for AAA members, seniors, and military personnel. You can also often find special rates by booking directly through the hotel’s website or calling the hotel to ask about discounts. When it comes to restaurants, look for eateries that offer daily specials or happy hour deals. You can also ask about group discounts if you’re traveling with a large group. With a little advance planning, you can easily find ways to save money on your road trip.

Bring your own food and drinks, rather than buying them on the road

A road trip can be a great way to see the country and spend time with family or friends. However, it can also be a budget buster if you’re not careful. One of the main ways to save money on a road trip is to bring your own food and drinks, rather than buying them on the road. Not only will this save you money, but it will also help you to eat healthier and have more control over your diet. If you’re worried about space, consider packing non-perishable items that can easily be stored in your trunk or back seat. And don’t forget the cooler! By bringing your own food and drinks, you’ll be able to enjoy your road trip without breaking the bank.

If possible, try to avoid traveling during peak times (summer weekends, for example)

A road trip can be a great way to see the country and spend time with family or friends. However, it can also be a significant expense. To save money on a road trip, it is best to avoid traveling during peak times. Summer weekends are typically the busiest times on the roads, which means that hotels and other accommodations will be more expensive. Additionally, gas prices tend to be higher during these times as well.

If possible, try to plan your road trip for weekdays or during off-peak months. This will help you save money on travel costs and allow you to enjoy a less crowded trip.

PARAVI – GOLDEN CHILD

Singer/songwriter Paravi is excited to officially release her first original song “Golden Child” via RCA Records. The sonically lush pop production explores the raw emotions of unlearning perfectionism. Propelled by Paravi’s melodic vocals, “Golden Child” serves as a reminder that it’s okay to not be perfect, to make mistakes, and to do what makes you happy. Listen HERE.

Speaking on “Golden Child” Paravi says, “This is a song I wrote to give myself permission to fuck up. As a child of immigrants and a young Indian girl entering the music industry, I’m no stranger to the self-placed pressure of perfectionism and the strain of living up to the “model minority” idea, a concept my parents never forced upon me, but something I picked up from my American-ized Indian experience. It wasn’t until I went to college that I took a leap of faith into imperfection by allowing myself to make mistakes. Unlearning the weight of this pressure I had put on myself for so long is exactly what “Golden Child” is at its core. Instead of worrying about what others think, I realized that being authentic and encouraging myself to live life a little further off the edge is what makes me happy.”

Deemed a “…musical force to be reckoned with” by NYLON, Paravi continues to carefully craft a style of her own, alternating between moments of vivid vulnerability and vocal vitality above organically warm production. As a newly signed artist with RCA Records, Paravi is looking forward to sharing more original music this summer/fall.

Additionally, Paravi was recently featured on the official motion picture soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann’s blockbuster film ELVIS for her rendition of the iconic “Suspicious Minds”. Check it out HERE.
