July 11, 2017

The spotlight is shining on Bonelang as they release a celestial powerful new music video for Mushroom Moon. The alternative duo have successfully delivered a fusion of hip-hop, soulful lyrics, electronic and alt-rock. The break-up style song captures a depth of emotion and a raw honest vulnerability can be felt with each spoken word. You can’t help but be drawn to this genre-defying track. Samy Language comments about the song, “‘Mushroom Moon’ is a breakup song. It started as a deep house track but after three years of molding, it has turned into what you are hearing in this video. Everyone knows heartache and how all-consuming it can feel. Here, these elemental emotions are placed in a cosmic yet intimate setting. Common wisdom will tell you that the vastness of space would seem to make us insignificant in comparison; perhaps instead the fact that we’re the only known entities capable of such breathtaking sorrow makes our small corner of the universe the most remarkable. Our intent in one sentence would be to establish purpose behind [Read More]

Falling In Reverse Superhero video creates a voice for those who feel silenced

July 11, 2017

Falling In Reverse Superhero video is released. Falling In Reverse Superhero video features a great cinematic style video of three kids who escape from the bullies in their world. Three kids who are not being heard and are muffled with a weight of emotions holding them down. Sometimes you just have to rise above and become your own Superhero!  The video took me right back to a memory when I worked on the Richard Donner film, Radio Flyers back in 1992. It was one of my favorite movies to work on and carried a great lesson in life. Superhero captures the vulnerability of feeling stifled or trapped in a situation and yet brings out a rush of hope that makes one rise up and take control. You’re caught in a cycle You’ll never get out Afraid of your shadow And living in doubt But this isn’t over It’s only begun And there is no honor In giving it all up  Check it out  here: Have you picked up Coming Home album by Falling In Reverse [Read More]
