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.

A montage of love-crossed dancers and classic era Parisian movie scenes, award-winning country pop star Eileen Carey’s enchanting video for her crossover hit “In the Air” is the perfect antidote to recent terrorist attacks, racial violence, and global turmoil. Credited by music blog POPDOSE with “blending pop, country, and rock in a way that feels uniquely hers,” Carey was recently named the 2016 National Radio Hits Favorite Female Country Artist of the Year and New Music Weekly’s Country Breakthrough Artist of the Year. "In the Air" is the first single from Carey’s forthcoming fifth studio album, produced by Travis Allen Childress.

Directed by Taner Tumyaka and inspired by Paris, the video for “In the Air” is a heartfelt tribute to the city Carey visited two weeks before terrorists killed 130 people there in November of 2015. Featuring dancers Kristen Morris and Daniel Kermidas, the video is a reminder of the conquering nature of love in such troubled times:

“Paris is such a whirlwind of love, romance, and excitement. The city inspired me to write a love song for two people set in the gaiety that is still Paris. Simply put, it is about love over hate.”

Having recently made her third consecutive appearance at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Carey’s “Bottle Your Crazy Up” reached #1 nationally in 2015, where it competed with major-label country performers. Carey’s three released singles are from Let It Go, her most successful album to date. Carey won The Academia Music Awards Best Country/Rock Song of the Year for “Bottle Your Crazy Up.” Akadamia.com called Carey’s composition and performance “a clever country jam with dulcet vocals and superb instrumentation, illustrating one of the most stringent performance standards we've encountered.”

Carey's last three music videos, “Bottle Your Crazy Up,” the feel-good summer release “Party at the Beach,” and “Faith,” have accumulated more than 105,000 Youtube views. Her single “Faith” reached the top of all the NMW country radio charts (main, indie, Internet), and reached the very top spot in all the NMW AC charts and Top 40 charts as well.“Faith” also made an appearance on Music Row's Country Breakout chart. Carey’s current single, “Bring on the Big,” is currently holding on to the #1 spot on the NMW Country charts for weeks, and appeared at #1 on the NMW Adult Contemporary Hot AC chart.

Carey has also started posting in her new blog, The Music Mom. The Music Mom reveals Carey's desire to positively impact others via the sharing of her experiences and wisdom:“The world is filled with ups and downs, so if I can help people see things in a more positive light, perhaps they can find a better place in life.”

Two distraught dancers fly and fight their way through the angst of drug addiction in “She Cries,” the poignant new video from charismatic singer/songwriter SEE. Credited byPaste Magazine with “blending sultry pop vibes and amazing harmonies,” the Long Island, NY multi-instrumentalist has received more than 1,000,000 YouTube views of her steamy “Potions” video in just two months. Her growing portfolio of raves and reviews includes features in Mind Equals Blown, New Music Weekly, and Sound Fiction. More information on SEE is available on her official website.

SEE recently released her debut EP, Ties, on Blue Élan Records. Co-produced by Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Pete Yorn) and Walt Dicristina, Ties masterfully combines elements of pop, alternative rock, and singer-songwriter stylings.

According to SEE, the video for “She Cries” captures the heartbreaking impact of addiction on both the addicted and their loved ones:

“I wrote “She Cries” while watching someone I am close with try to break away from the cycle of addiction. Addiction can take many layers and forms, but we chose to represent it visually through substance abuse. We were lucky to recruit two incredible dancers and a wonderful choreographer, so it created an environment in which we blended all these different elements of art into one project.”

At the age of eighteen, SEE began to sing and perform as a solo artist. She soon decided to forgo college in order to pursue a full-time music career. Her gamble paid off, as one year later she signed with Blue Élan Records in June 2015.

It is a song about love, spontaneity, and excitement. It’s about a wild ride that takes you somewhere you’ve never been.”

Comprised of Alexander, Kamren Alexander (guitar), and Anthony Hainsworth (drums), Ceasefire formed in 2011 in Orange County, CA. The band is known for their riveting live performances, captivating vocal presence, and shimmering guitar hooks. Those sonic elements are fully evident on “JOYRIDE.”
