May 17, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Leslie Grace Be My Baby The Ronettes 2013

In less than a year, Leslie Grace has revolutionized bachata music.  The debut single “Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow,” a cover of the popular song by the Shirelles, quickly catapulted her to the stage at the 2012 Premios Juventud show and earned her the honor of being the youngest Latina to top the Billboard Latin charts.  She followed up with the current hit “Day One,” which also has enjoyed the #1 position on the Latin Tropical Chart.  Following her recent nomination at the 2013 … [Read more...]

Target Spring Campaign Includes Miami Band Hola Hi

Target Spring Campaign Espanol Hola Hi Spanglish Noise

I ran into Miami indie-pop band  Hola Hi at the Latin Billboard Top Stop Music Showcase, where the duo was excited to share that Target picked up their song "Aire de Primavera" for its 2013 spring campaign.  Not only does the song specifically reference spring, but its upbeat Spanish lyrics are a nice nod to the Hispanic community that leaves a positive impression.  My only thought is that it would be nice for Target to have included the band and song name in the YouTube video credits, but … [Read more...]

Fito Blanko – Vamo Alla

April 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Fito Blanko Vamo Alla Spanglish Noise

Canadian singer Fito Blanko follows a simple, but effective, model: "Vamo Alla."  The term is a colloquial expression that literally means "let's go there!", but is better expressed in this case by the informal "let's gooo!"  Whether you find yourself late for work or about to enter a party, the message is equally relevant: look at yourself in the mirror, smile, and say, "Vamo Alla!" The video for "Vamo Alla" is a collage of live footage from Fito's recent Miami performance on the Calle … [Read more...]

Leslie Grace Top Stop Music Showcase

After a long day of Latin Billboard Conferences, indie label Top Stop Music flexed it's muscles by hosting a magnificent showcase at Miami's Grand Central.  The night featured performances by a mix of tropical singers - most of whom were accompanied by a Live Band! - but the one interview I was hoping to land was with bachata singer Leslie Grace.  While I was fortunate enough to sit down with the high school senior and record the audio for an upcoming podcast episode, a faulty memory card … [Read more...]

Sito Rocks Concert Review Aqua Nightclub

Recently returned from the infamous Barcelona nightlife and the set for his new video "Party On My Level" with Sak Noel, the charismatic singer Sito Rocks found himself on a flight from the warmth of Miami to the April snow of Minneapolis.  A tweet from his hotel room exclaimed, "Feels like xmas" and the next few hours were presumably spent relaxing and testing out a local restaurant. I arrived at Aqua Nightclub around 11pm to find a few people getting a head start at the bar while DJs … [Read more...]

Sak Noel Sito Rocks Party On My Level

Remember the recent hit dance song “CrazyPeople” (“Johnny, La Gente Esta Muy Loca”)?  Most of you are probably familiar with the version by Pitbull, Sensato, and Fito Blanko, and some of you might have even heard Sito Rocks’ remix as well.  But before these versions hit the disco, the original track was innovated in Spain by the Catalan DJ/producer Sak Noel. Given the energy of Sak Noel’s productions and Sito Rocks’ lyrics, their collaboration on today’s new video “Party … [Read more...]

Monique Rihanna Stay Cover

It's been a while since we heard from Miami singer Monique Gonzalez, but she finally turned up again and seems to have been busy recording her EP out in LA with producers Dale Play and Ricky Luna.  For those of you who listened to the Monique interview, you probably noticed that she has a bit of fire in her personality.  The music business is a tough one and artists certainly need every bit of fire they can muster.  Today Monique sets this toughness aside for an intimate cover of Rihanna's … [Read more...]

Christina Aguilera & Pitbull – Feel This Moment

Pitbull Christina Aguilera Feel This Moment

Christina Aguilera, back in studio mode following her popular stint on NBC's The Voice, proves once again that her powerful vocals are one in a million.  While her album Lotus sold a considerable amount of copies last fall, this was not the level of success business-types would desire from a singer of her fame and caliber.  Hopefully today's duet with Pitbull is the spark that she needs to once again rise to the top of the pop charts. "Feel This Moment" is an exciting new collaboration off … [Read more...]
