Miri Ben-Ari, the “Hip Hop Violinist,” Returns with New Single “Quiet Storm" [Video]

November 08, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Music Videos

Stream/Buy: Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Google Play, Amazon

From Her Full-Length Album, Dorel, Out February 2019.

Grammy Award-Winning violinist/producer/humanitarian Miri Ben-Ari returns with a Hip Hop masterpiece, the new single “Quiet Storm.” It’s a virtuosic violin performance dedicated to women’s empowerment that plays over a hard Hip Hop beat and the voice of legendary hype man Fatman Scoop. Celebrated as the “Hip Hop Violinist,” she shot the video at the birthplace of the genre, The Bronx.

 

Ben-Ari says, “This song is about me, being a strong woman, being myself, people say that I look ‘quiet’ but have a ‘storm’ inside me when playing the violin. ‘Quiet Storm’ is the first single on my comeback album, and I wanted to do what I do best: produce original music and bring it down Hip Hop violin style. I am humbled to represent and pioneer a musical genre that influenced so many musicians and artists.”

 

“Quite Storm” is the first single on Ben-Ari’s upcoming album, Dorel, out in February 2019. The title is her son’s name and in Hebrew it means God’s generation. It will be her first full album since the release of her debut album, The Hip Hop Violinist, which featured such stars as Kanye West, John Legend, Lil Wayne, Pitbull and more.

 

Originally from Israel, Ben-Ari has created her own unique music; a revolutionary fusion of classical, Hip Hop, Soul and Dance. The classically trained violinist, who once studied under the late classical master Isaac Stern, has helped sell millions of records by collaborating with other Grammy award-winning artists such as Jay Z, Wyclef Jean, Alicia Keys, Wynton Marsalis, Britney Spears, Maroon 5, Akon, Patti Labelle, Brandy, Donna Summer, Janet Jackson, and Armin Van Buuren. Her work on Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks” earned her a Grammy for Best Rap Song in 2004.

 

Ben-Ari has not been quiet since her previous album. She has continued to work on her own music and collaborate & produce with artists all over the world. She has a current hit single, “Baila,” with Diamond Platnumz, one of today’s top artists in Africa.

 

Miri Ben-Ari is more than just a musical talent. She prides herself on her humanitarian efforts as well. She is a Goodwill Ambassador of Music to the United Nations and started her own non-profit organization, the Gedenk Movement, dedicated to educate, raise awareness and encourage self-expression among youth about anti-Semitism, racism and their brutal consequences. Noted as an "Apollo Legend" by the Apollo Theater in New York City, she has performed for both the Clintons and the Obamas, taught children about the violin on Sesame Street, and played numerous high profile events including the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, DC.

Jevon - "Paranoia" [Official Vevo Performance]

September 29, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap, Live Performance

Born of Brazilian, Filipino and Jamaican descent, Jevon has always strived to bring new sounds and influences to the table. After working behind the scenes with artists like Stefflon Don, Yxng Bane and RAY BLK plus helping a new generation of UK artists find their sound, Jevon is now staking his place amongst them as one of the frontrunners. Not concerned with following musical cycles Jevon draws from styles not typically associated with UK Rap and R&B. His first EP, due out Fall 2018, is an insight into the battles Jevon faces when dealing with scenarios that are beyond the norm for a kid growing up. It reveals a vulnerability and a stripping back of the ego that has helped shape his music and character to this day.

Sônge - "Roses" [Video]

September 29, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Music Videos, Contemporary R&B

M.I.A., Santigold, fka twigs and Christine and the Queens are just some of the comparisons that were made when French genre-bending R&B / pop modernist SÔNGEreleased her self-titled debut EP in 2017. Yet much like those boundary-breaking artists, SÔNGE is a creative force in her own right with a distinct and uncompromising musical vision. Equally inspired by synaesthesia, mythology and post-impressionism, SÔNGE is one-of-a-kind.

That’s a trait that SÔNGE resolutely demonstrates with her brand new track ‘Roses’. The song represents the first taster of her full-length debut album, which will follow in 2019.

Produced by Myd (Club cheval, Theophilus London) of Ed Banger Records, ‘Roses’ finds SÔNGE contrasting the languid, regret-filled grooves of the verses with a defiant hook fuelled by echoing synth shots and skittering beats. Her vocals organically capture the emotional heart of the subject matter, from heartfelt regret to strutting self-confidence. The creative vocal production embellishments add to the track’s singular style, especially when her voice is pitch-shifted down to a near baritone.

The track was mixed and mastered by NKF, best known for his work with PNL and Orelsan.

Directed by Arnaud Giacomini, a former collaborator with Olivier Assayas and Mia Hansen-Løve, the video exudes a hazy, late summer vibe. It depicts SÔNGE undertaking a road-trip accompanied by two enigmatic sidekicks known only as A and M. In keeping with the song’s theme of impermanence, the trio ultimately engage in visceral scenes of destruction.

In addition to her more esoteric influences such as Paul Gauguin and Lars von Trier, you can trace echoes of contemporary greats such as Björk and Kendrick Lamar in SÔNGE’s exploratory soundscapes. Whether based in her hometown of Brest in Brittany or dating back to when she lived in Germany and Amsterdam, SÔNGE’s insomnia has provided a silver lining of creativity: an opportunity to write songs free from the distractions of the daylight hours.

Queen Naija - "Karma" [Official Vevo Performance]

September 29, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Acoustic, R&B

Look into the roots of strong R&B vocalists, and you may find they spent time singing in church. The modern soul approach of Queen Naija, which can be heard on tracks such as "Bad Boy," "Mama's Hand" and "Medicine," is partially due to getting schooled early on - she was part of a choir as a child in her native Detroit. That was way before she became a YouTube hero, of course. For the last few years, she's been pleasing fans by inviting them into her all aspects of her life as a wildly popular vlogger. Boasting three million subscribers, her YT channel has focused on delivering personal candor to an ever-growing fan base. When she and her husband split last year, it prompted her to hit the studio and not only vent some frustration but stand up for women everywhere. "Medicine" busted the the 23-year-old to the next-level success that she's riding right now. Her follow-up track on the same subject, "Karma," is just as revealing, with a message attached. "I'm just letting him know, 'I might be sad right now, you might be happy, but the table's gonna turn.'" She really brought the drama, and a little bit of that church vibe, when she stopped by to perform it, and explained her feelings on its double-edged sword effect. "While it makes me feel good that other women can relate to what i'm writing, it makes me feel bad that they have to go through it."

Max Frost - "Eleven Days" [Video]

September 04, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, R&B

Max Frost released the new video for “Eleven Days” – the second released track off his debut album “GOLD RUSH.” Max recently performed “Eleven Days” along with first single “Good Morning” on Good Morning America. Speaking on the inspiration for “Eleven Days” Max said,

 

 

“Last year I took a trip to London for 3 weeks to chase a girl I barely knew…I thought I was in love with this girl I had never even met in person.

 

Long story short…I realized she was fake and that it wasn’t gonna work out. This was only a week into the trip…I was stuck. I didn’t want to be there. And even though I was the one who ended it with the girl, I still walked around for the next two weeks in a state of heartbreak and in a drunken stooper.

 

The strange thing about traveling the world is you feel like you could almost be anywhere. You look at time zones and see how its only 5am at home as you’re eating a late lunch. Or how, if you were in Hong Kong, the sun would have long gone down. Time becomes lucid.

 

This song is about being trapped in “the in-between.” This song is about going across the world to break your own heart. It’s about being a ghost in a faraway place that doesn’t seem real.”

 

“GOLD RUSH” arrives at all music retailers and streaming services on Friday, October 5th. Max hits the road shortly after the release to embark on “The Gold Rush Tour.” The North American headline tour begins October 9th in Santa Cruz, CA and continues through mid-November. “GOLD RUSH” was executive produced by Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (Fitz and the Tantrums) and mainly produced by Mick Schultz (Rihanna, Jeremih, YG). Earlier in the year, Max made his national TV debut with a performance of breakout single “Good Morning” on Live with Kelly and Ryan.

Max Frost has also become an in-demand collaborator in his own right, including DJ Snake’s hit single, “Broken Summer (Feat. Max Frost).” Most recently, Frost had a once in a lifetime experience working with Elton John in a London studio for an upcoming collaboration with DJ Mustard.

Grateful Edmund - "Turn up on Sunday" [Audio Video]

August 19, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Audio Videos, Rap

”Turn up on Sunday" is a rare gem of a Hip-Hop track from Washington D.C.'s own Grateful Edmund. The gospel-inspired track produced by Hits By Jude brings back a feeling the culture has been missing for quite some time. Although the overall tone of the track feels like a gospel track, it actually feels more like a day party or grown man infused party record that you could even play at a wedding. "Turn up on Sunday" could be this generations version of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's Summertime song. Check out the song on Youtube or stream "Turn up on Sunday” on Spotify and Apple music right now. 

 

Bio: Grateful Edmund the emcee from Washington, D.C. helps keep the culture of Hip-Hop alive bringing back soulful beats and sharp lyricism. His music inspired by some raps caviar like AZ, PUSHA T, NAS, and JAY-Z, his music quickly reminds you of some of the greats of the 90s but still has a fresh take on the music for today’s audience. He released his first single "FREE YA MIND" in February (2018) and has since released a second single "Every N**ga is a Star" in June as a smashing follow-up both singles give a solid perspective of what we can expect down the road from the upcoming project "THE LAST 10" Mixtape. Grateful Edmund has toured internationally, visiting the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and North America, as well as shows in South America, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

SG Lewis - "Better" [Video]

August 19, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Music Videos, Pop

Songwriter, producer and musician SG Lewis today shares the video for his collaborative new single ‘Better’ with rising US star Clairo. The result of a chance writing session in LA, the track instantly became a viral hit last month and was labelled “addictive” by Pigeons and Planes” with Hypebeast calling it “the perfect summer jam”.

 

The innate chemistry the duo shared in the studio has now naturally translated into the fun, care-free video for ‘Better’. Shot in Chicago and produced by Weird Life Films (Ravyn Lenae, Soccer Mommy), ‘Better’ features both artists as they drive around the city in full-length tracksuits in a loving homage to classic Hype William’s directed videos of the later nineties, early noughties.

Speaking on the track, SG says “I played Clairo the instrumental and she jumped on it straight away! The process was so natural, I kept the beat unquantized from the jam as I felt like it gave the record an old disco feel”. The single is the perfect marriage of SG’s signature warm, sunny house production and Clairo’s dreamy vocal delivery. Clairo reflects, "Sam is one of the most talented producers I know. We met the same day that we made this song, and just clicked instantly. “Better” is one of the first real steps I’ve made into ‘pop music’ and this collab feels like a match made in heaven!"

 

‘Better’ is the latest in a long run of exceptional collabs for SG, with his upcoming album featuring J Warner, Kartell and a host of others yet to be announced. After an incredible run of dates across Europe, America, Australia and Asia so far this year, SG also recently announced a landmark headline show at London’s iconic superclub Printworks on December 7th. In addition he will return to the US for a full tour starting in September making stops at Brooklyn’s Elsewhere on September 28th & 29th and LA’s The Fonda Theater on October 19th.

 

This year, SG Lewis began releasing music from his ambitious three-part album ‘Dusk, Dark, Dawn’. Currently in phase one - ‘Dusk’ - SG imagines the trajectory of one night out in club music and is a loving tribute to club and youth culture. Referencing a wide breadth of styles and genres, ‘Dusk’ uses disco, west coast hip-hop and 80s electro to set the scene. Soon to move into Phase 2 - ‘Dark’ - he’ll use heavier styles like techno and rap to move the crowd into the night before heading off on his worldwide tour.

 

US pop prodigy Clairo is on an undeniable ascent, with collaborators including Rejjie Snow and Danny L Harle and her ‘diary 001’ EP receiving major accolades across the world.

SS - "Gasolina" [Video]

August 09, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Music Videos, Rap, Autotune

Newcomer SS announces himself with these stripped back club inspired visuals for his latest single ‘Gasolina’. Dropped on GRM Daily, the video follows his remix of Not3s’ ‘M3 Not You’ from earlier this year, with both tracks showcasing what’s to come from the burgeoning producer/mc/creative. Recent studio sessions with the likes of Dappy and G-Money have resulted in a collection of tracks which will make up his debut EP, chalked for release later this year.

 

As CEO of Sound Records Ltd (a label he set up himself), the ambitious youngster aims to put out music from other acts as well as his own. Having already made some serious moves in 2017, at 16 he produced the award winning afrobeat star Samini’s single ‘One Shot’, a song which earned radio plays on BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra and further interviews with DJ Edu and Abrantee. Off his own back his second release ‘Know’ was championed by HotNewHipHop, indicating a potential cross-Atlantic appeal for his music also.

 

Whilst having a vibrant sound in line with his peers, SS’ music is deeply rooted in artistry and musicality from the past, as he embraces the classic records he was brought up - from Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B, Rare Groove, Jungle, Garage and the like. His music covers the emotions of a young man finding his place in this ever changing world.

 

‘Gasolina’ is out now on all streaming platforms

For complete details and ticket availability, please see maxfrost.net/tour.

In addition, Frost will be joining Panic! At The Disco for three dates on their Pray For The Wicked Tour – August 3rd in Houston (Toyota Center), August 4th in Dallas (American Airlines Center), and August 5th in Tulsa (BOK Center).

“Good Morning” is available now at all DSPs and streaming services. The track is joined by an equally colorful companion visual, streaming now at Max’s official YouTube channel HERE; along with the recently released acoustic video of “Good Morning,” which can be viewed HERE.

“Good Morning” can be heard sound tracking a yearlong advertising campaign launching Pepsi’s new bubly™ line of sparkling waters. In addition, “Good Morning” has been featured in promotional spots for ESPN’s new morning show, GET UP, as well as in recent episodes of ABC’s hugely popular AMERICAN IDOL and GREY’S ANATOMY. Additionally, “Good Morning” is featured in an advertising campaign for Vodafone in Germany. Named by both NPR and Rolling Stone as one of “10 Artists You Need To Know,” Max Frost has earned acclaim with his electrifyingly idiosyncratic sonic blend, a musical merging of soul, funk, hip-hop, and pop that saw 2013’s breakthrough single, “White Lies,” lauded in such high profile national outlets as Interview, Billboard, and NPR Music.

Max Frost has also become an in-demand collaborator in his own right, including DJ Snake’s hit single, “Broken Summer (Feat. Max Frost).” Most recently, Frost had a once in a lifetime experience working with Elton John in a London studio for an upcoming collaboration with DJ Mustard.
