Enticing Electronic Elixir: Buoyed by Blissful Beats and Bright Imagery of Captivating “Drops” Video, Buzzing Berliner SolarrioDelivers Perfect Antidote for Melancholic Fall Days

Vivid colors contrast with melancholic lyrics and mesmerizing beats in “Drops,” the visually stimulating video from electronic popster Solarrio. Described as “an attempt to numb his pain,” “Drops” is the first single from Solarrio’s forthcoming ’80s-inspired self-titled EP, available January of 2017 via Believe Digital. More information on Solarrio is available on his official website. 

Sounding like a blend of present-day electronic acts such as The Weeknd and the warm analog sounds of retro ’80s music, “Drops” features melancholic lyrics that eventually give way to the soft glow of feel-good modern beats. According to Solarrio, “Drops” is his attempt to deal with failure and heartbreak:


“The song is me trying to numb the pain of failed relationships. Sonically and production-wise, it’s probably the most experimental song on the EP. I was working on the beat with a friend of mine and that one synth sound reminded me of drops. I developed the theme from there.”

Solarrio has been a music producer and songwriter for over a decade, producing artists such as Raf 3.0. The duo produced "Wie Kannst Du Nur" ("How Can You?"), a heavy drum and bass track that the National Basketball Association (NBA) used for their promo for the 2013 NBA Finals and for their “Forever Dirk” celebration of German player Dirk Nowitzki, who became one of the NBA’s top 10 all-time scoring leaders in 2013.

“Together We Will Ride:” Electro-Popper Lexi Baker’s New Single “Model T” Celebrates Innovation in More Ways Than One


“Together We Will Ride:” 


Electro-Popper Lexi Baker’s New Single “Model T” 

Celebrates Innovation in More Ways Than One


L.A. singer is making waves with her message of change and revolutionary Headphone Surround technology
Electro-pop singer/songwriter Lexi Baker is driving modern pop forward with her brand new single “Model T.” The release is the latest from Baker’s collaboration with legendary Grammy-winning producer Robert Margouleff (Stevie Wonder, Devo, Depeche Mode).

The song’s irresistible beat is inspired by Henry Ford’s Model T auto factory that changed the world forever, and its fun message is an anthem to the unstoppable power of people working together. The tech character of “Model T” also extends to its revolutionary audio format. Margouleff and Baker are recording all of her songs in in two versions – stereo and Headphone Surround (HPS 12.1). The new surround technology provides fans with a mind-blowing 3-D sound experience they can enjoy on any mobile device using ordinary headphones.  Hear “Model T” in HPS 12.1(link) with headphones on now.

The “Model T” single is part of Baker’s forthcoming debut album, Ultimate Reality, which displays her innate ability to merge music, fashion, and technology. More information on Lexi Baker is available on her official website.
According to Baker, “Model T” uses the original mass-produced car as a metaphor for personal discovery and empowerment:“The Model T was a leap of faith, a daring step into the unknown. It was designed before America had roads. Roads had to be built to accommodate it. Soon, everyone was driving and sharing the experience. As I say in the song, ‘Together we will ride.’ I want to innovate the same way with my team in our own modern day creative factory.”.

Much of the recent buzz surrounding Baker is due to the creative bond she formed with Margouleff. Known affectionately as "The Godfather of Electronica," Margouleff brought the Moog synthesizer into modern music with Stevie Wonder in the 1970s. According to The Atlantic, “Margouleff’s revolutionary work with synthesizers helped shape Wonder's groundbreaking sounds.” He also produced DEVO’s 1980 classic "Whip It."  Baker will soon release her own version of “Whip It.” More information on Margouleff is available on his official website.
