MNEK SHARES VIDEO FOR NEW SONG “PARADISE”

Leave a reply

WATCH HERE:

GRAMMY-nominated British singer, songwriter and producer MNEK has returned with an official video for his powerful and emotive new single, “Paradise.”The striking visuals take you on a man’s isolated journey through pyramids, brutalist buildings and a dystopian landscape of other metaphorical images. Watch The FADERpremiere HERE.

“Paradise,” which features the iconic guitar riff from Ultra Nate’s iconic 1997 dance smash “Free,“ sees MNEK venture into new territory both as a songwriter and as a vocalist. An evocative, vital and lyrically thought-provoking R&B song comprised of ominous throbbing bassline and skittish beats, “Paradise” allows the singer to exhibit his distinct and majestic vocals, as he explores a newfound fragility with his falsetto on the song’s dark and emotionally stirring chorus.

The 22-year-old explains, the track is about how – with all that’s going on in society today – sometimes escaping the harsh realities of the world can be a freeing and cathartic experience, with the use of the sample coming about in response to the current trend in commercial dance music. MNEK says:

“Around the time I wrote ‘Paradise’, so much dance music was coming out and doing well with literally any 90s R&B song as the main topline, of the whole song. It really bothered me!” he explains. “So, I decided to sample a dance song for an R&B track. I’ve always loved ‘Free’ by Ultra Nate, so it was such an honour to have the blessing of the writers of the song to sample it for ‘Paradise’.”

Director, Ciaran Lyons elaborates –

“I think the themes of MNEK’s track will resonate with a lot of people. What grabbed me was the underlying idea of the different responses elicited by the chaos of the modern world – the desire to escape from the real world into a fantasy paradise vs the possibility of standing strong and separate from all the madness and cruelty, in the hope of preserving something better. We have this beautiful human walking through a fantasy landscape made from symbols of growth and decay, never stopping, never getting involved, but coming out the other end still intact, and still beautiful.”

“Paradise” follows 2016’s infectious single “At Night (I Think About You)”, as well as global smash hit and multi-million selling single “Never Forget You,” featuring Zara Larsson.

COOPER PHILLIP

Leave a reply

Edited by Vaughn Lowery

With her stunning voice and intense drive, COOPER PHILLIP captures the undivided attention of most people around her. COOPER has always been a small town girl with big dreams. Born in Russia to a family of classical musicians, her adolescent years were shaped by her grandmother and aunt. Her mother, a master violin player, toured the world with various symphonies. This separation led COOPER to take comfort in music at an early age where she was mesmerized by the vocal stylings of Ella Fitzgerald. She learned many of her songs, paying close attention to her pronunciation and vocal tone. At 12 years of age, COOPER went to live with her mother. It was a major adjustment for both of them, but her mom soon realized her daughter possessed a gift and encouraged her musical talents. Moreover, COOPER attended the prestigious Moscow State Classical Academy (she studied classical piano, theory, harp, jazz, blues, ballet and voice). Her vocal teacher at the academy introduced her to the music of Mariah Carey – COOPER was obsessed!

“I WOULD JUST LISTEN TO HER FOR HOURS, UPON HOURS.”

She diligently worked to expand her range and control her voice to impress both her audience and her teachers. She loved the challenge.

“[THERE’S] SOMETHING ABOUT BEING IN FRONT OF A [LIVE] AUDIENCE; AND WINNING A COMPETITION AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, ONLY MADE ME MORE CURIOUS …. AND, I BECAME [MORE] INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT I COULD DO WITH MY VOICE.”

She began singing every day, taking in the sounds of Barbra Streisand and learned both classical piano and harp.

Determined to pursue a career in music, COOPER’s mother allowed her to move to New York City at 17. With barely a dollar to her name, she worked and hustled, singing in weddings and clubs and sleeping in the storeroom of a restaurant where she sang. It wasn’t easy but she would not be deterred. After a few years in NYC, COOPER jumped at an opportunity to sing in Los Angeles. With a strong sense of direction, COOPER began pouring her heart into songs she would write for her debut EP, Walk A Mile. In writing, she found an outlet to tell her story of love and pain in soul-filled ballads like Black Box, Tough Love and her song, Silence. She’s performed her music at various venues in LA such as Viper Room, Soho House, Spaghettini, Hotel Café and Sayers Club.

DAUPHIN’S GUMBO

Leave a reply

On a Holy Thursday in New Orleans, you’ll find locals packed inside an unassuming restaurant eating a green gumbo that’s one of the city’s most treasured traditions. The woman behind the dish is equally treasured and best known as the “Queen of Creole Cuisine”: Leah Chase.

Leah calls her pre-Easter stew of greens (and every meat imaginable) “Gumbo Z’herb” – a superfood mix of 21 ingredients, meats and greens with every teaspoon essential down to the last pinch of file.

Chef Steve Zucker would make it 31 delectable touches of spices, meats and veggies in homage to his culinary hero. Zucker’s tribute has a taste all its own and a fresh honor as one of Alabama’s “100 Dishes to Eat Before You Die.”

“She’s an institution – no one can touch Creole cooking like Leah,” offers Zucker – Executive Chef at Dauphin’s in downtown Mobile where Gumbo Z’herb is a menu favorite. At the age of just 17, North Carolina native Zucker traveled south to study Culinary Arts in New Orleans, where he apprenticed for another NoLa legend – Creole-Cajun guru John Folse. Those years soaking up classic Southern dishes had an impact that never left him, even after a degree at Rhode Island’s Johnson & Wales and chef stints in Las Vegas and Maui.

Leah and her husband opened Dooky Chase’s Restaurant in the late 1940’s – and over the years became legendary both in the kitchen and for gathering mixed race patrons in an era long before those boundaries were crossed in the mid 60’s. The diminutive always-smiling 94-year old has fed Presidents, celebrities from Duke Ellington to Ray Charles (who sang about her) and was the inspiration for Princess Tiana in Disney’s “Princess and the Frog.” Perhaps the country’s highest culinary honor – James Beard – has tapped both legend and protégé. Zucker has been invited to cook at the James Beard House, while Chase was named to the James Beard Foundation’s Hall of Fame among endless other honors.

Leah’s Z’herb (pronounced “zairb”) features smoked ham, sausage and brisket while Zucker adds Alabama Conecuh sausage, bacon and even turkey wings. Another Alabama product – the Smoke Pistol – adds the final flavor. “For me this has been a way to celebrate one of my life’s inspirations. Being honored for this version of her masterpiece is tremendous.”
Dauphin’s combines classic coastal cuisine with a sky-high panorama dubbed by OpenTable as one of the “100 Most Scenic Dining Views in America.” Dauphin’s is part of Bob Baumhower’s 13-restaurant gumbo known as Aloha Hospitality.

”LES FORÊTS NATALES’. Arts d’Afrique équatoriale atlantique’

Leave a reply

Atlantic Equatorial Africa has given African arts some of their most exceptional masterpieces. From the visual power of Fang art to the naturalist elegance of the Punu, some 325 works from this vast region are being brought together for the first time in the exhibition “LES FORÊTS NATALES”. Arts d’Afrique équatoriale atlantique at the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac. This large collection of masterpieces, covering the 17th to the early 20th century, is designed to demonstrate the similarities, transformations and distinctive characteristics of the forms and arts of Atlantic Equatorial Africa, thus presenting an overview of its main artistic styles in a “classic” approach to art history.

> DOWNLOAD THE PRESS KIT <

“LES FORÊTS NATALES”? A poetical choice of words as a nod to Guillaume Apollinaire*, the exhibition’s title refers to the Equatorial forest that forms both a geographic context and a unique natural setting at the origin of the works presented. Covering the south of the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, the Gabonese Republic and the west of the Republic of Congo, this cultural area forms the birth place of a creative impulsion inherited from Bantu tradition and embodied in diverse representations that are reflected in two types of objects: statues linked to the cult of the ancestors and masks that express the numerous aspects of the spiritual entities that intervene in the way societies function.

The exhibition draws on the exceptional collection of the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, one of the richest in this field, and is supplemented by emblematic and often unique works conserved in public and private collections from Europe and North America. This exhibition has enabled the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac to carry out various scientific analyses on a body of works from Atlantic Equatorial Africa, shedding new light on the methods- of production and composition of works from this region.

The exhibition itinerary reflects the movement of the populations of Atlantic Equatorial Africa since the 14th century, from North to South. It underlines the major stylistic elements, presented in four sections: North, East, Central, and South Atlantic Equatorial Africa.
* Verse taken from the poem Les Fenêtres by Guillaume Apollinaire,who placed great emphasis on the arts of Africa and Oceania in the early 20th century, notably by expressing his desire for non-European masterpieces to be given the same status as the finest specimens of Western statues.

The statues of ancestors and reliquary figures of the Fang (North Atlantic Equatorial Africa, first section of the exhibition) and Kota (East Atlantic Equatorial Africa, second section of the exhibition) are some of the most emblematic works of traditional African sculpture.

Nexen Tire pushes for victory in Formula Drift

Leave a reply

Driver Fredric Aasbo drove his Nexen Tire N’Fera SUR4G shod Toyota to his third podium of the season, finishing second and delivering another point boost to Nexen Tire in the Formula Drift Tire Cup.

“It was an incredible competition and we showed yet again why the Nexen N’Fera SUR4G is our tire of choice,” said Aasbo. “It gave us the edge when it mattered and I can’t wait for the two final high-speed rounds of the season where I think our tires are really going to shine.”

The 2015 Formula Drift World Champion, Aasbo is currently second in the championship points with two stops remaining on the calendar. He is the most winning driver in the series, with a record 10 victories. He drives for the veteran Papadakis Racing squad, which owns more championship titles than any other team in the series.

Up-and-coming Oregon driver Matt Coffman took the Coffman Racing Nissan 240SX as far as the Great 8 round on Nexen rubber, besting veteran Robbie Nishida in the opening round to face Kristaps Bluss in the Top 16. Judges deemed the first head-to-head matchup against the formidable Latvian too close to call, and Coffman advanced with a fan-favorite, full-commitment effort in the One More Time re-run.

Nexen drivers Jhonnattan Castro, Cameron Moore, and Dan Burkett advanced to the Top 16, while Ken Gushi, Kyle Mohan, and Alec Hohnadell contested the Top 32.

The tire manufacturer returned to Formula Drift this season for the second year as a major series partner. The Nexen Tire sponsorship brings with it on-track and television visibility, as well as exposure to the series’ strong and connected millennial fan base.

“When it comes down to motorsports and our demographic, I think Formula Drift is the key to reaching a young, social savvy audience,” said Senior Motorsports Manager Paul Jho. “If I was to compare with any other motorsport, Formula Drift is the one that leads the category for what we need as we continue our growth.”

The series provides live and on-demand online coverage through a variety of channels including its popular digital broadcast and social media live streaming, as well as 20 half-hour television programs on CBS Sports Network. Motorsport.com and Motor1.com also offer exclusive content through Formula Drift’s relationship with Motorsport Network.

In addition to marketing reach, the company’s involvement with teams in the series offers an excellent test environment. Nexen Tire teams use the N’Fera SUR4G, an Ultra High-Performance tire designed for high-speed stability.

“When you look at evolving tire technology, drifting is a sport that puts the tire in extreme conditions — guaranteed,” said Jho. “We collect a lot of data that we can use in developing our products across the Ultra High-Performance range.”

Nexen Tire is also seeing success in SCCA racing this season, with a generous contingency program supporting racers and multiple podiums achieved with the SUR4G tire at every national competition. The tire maker took its first SCCA ProSolo Super Challenge victory this past weekend at Oscada Wurtsmith Airport in Michigan with Ken Houseal in a 2016

Ford Focus RS on Nexen N’Fera SUR4G tires.

This year, the company joined Manchester City Football Club with the English Premier League’s first-ever sleeve sponsorship. Nexen Tire also became the official tire of 2017 International Champions Cup, a series of a dozen matches between leading European soccer teams at U.S. stadiums last month.

Next, the Formula Drift championship travels to Fort Worth, Texas, September 8-9, before wrapping up the year with the California season ender at Irwindale Speedway October 13 and 14.
