Why Don Diablo and Jessie J’s ‘Brave’ is This Summer’s Healthy Hit

Why Don Diablo and Jessie J’s ‘Brave’ is This Summer’s Healthy Hit
Last year, Don Diablo and Jessie J made the music charts with their track, ‘Brave’. With COVID-19 still at large and shaping 2020 into a year full of surprises, the topic of mental health has become even more prevalent in our everyday routine, particularly for music artists. It just so happens that we stumbled back upon this amazing track, which not only has a summer vibe but that kick of inspiration that can help keep our motivation at high-levels, whether we are working out from home or just trying to get through the day. Diablo dedicated the song on Twitter last year to “all our BRAVE people out there struggling with LIFE in any way, shape or form,” as reported by Billboard.  “Sometimes, you just need an extra push to have more courage in life and more courage to chase your dreams or to simply stand up for what you believe in,” Diablo shared upon the track’s initial release. Written by Don Schipper (Don Diablo), Edvard Førre Erfjord, Henrik Barman Michelsen, James Newman, Janee Bennett, Jess Glynne, Martijn van Sonderen, and Sophie Francis Cook, ‘Brave’ gives us all the energy we need to take on whatever challenge we face during the quarantine and social distancing requirements.  <embed video> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiWyJfkZpl0 Last month, the ‘Brave’ singer announced to Women’s Health Magazine that she’s been putting in the work to keep her body in shape, starting with her diet. Last year, Jessie J opened up about her decision to go vegan and cut out sugar from her diet. “So four years ago, I cut out sugar from my diet to try and stop bacteria from building up in my body,” she shared in an interview with Plant Based News. “Once I cut out sugar, I realized how  much I began to enjoy food when it was good for me–and it was balancing out everything–my health, my moods, my sleep.” 

A ‘Brave’ Summer

So, how did ‘Brave’ become one of the top hits of 2019, with well over 1 million streams on Spotify? We spoke with one of the writers, Henrik Barman Michelsen, about how the song came to be. Michelsen is a member of Electric, the Norwegian songwriting and production duo, composed of Henrik Barman Michelsen and Edvard Førre Erfjord. Known for their work on Little Mix on their #1 UK hits Black Magic and Shout Out to My Ex, the latter of which won Single of the Year at the 2017 Brit Awards, as well as UK #1 I’ll Be There by Jess Glynne, they have worked with artists such as Olly Murs, Machine Gun Kelly, Hailee Steinfeld, The Wanted, Cheryl Cole, and Fifth Harmony. “Honestly, Don was the finisher on this one,” Michelsen began to explain. “Our role was much more to do with the inception of the song. It started with Jess Glynne, Jin Jin, and Ed and me. It all came from a conversation where Jess told us about a fan she’d met who was struggling with a serious illness, and how she was so affected by their positive attitude. James and Sophie then joined into the endeavor, and it grew into the final song you now know it as, over three writing and recording sessions over the span of a few weeks. Our original idea sounded quite different when Don came in and reimagined it!” According to the Electric artist, the power in Jess’s vocals combined with how she connected with the song made her the perfect fit for the track. If you are a fan of Diablo’s work, you may have noticed that this wasn’t a traditional Diablo track. “The song itself wasn’t written as a dance track,” Michelsen interjected, “so perhaps that explains the reimagination I describe to you. It was written stripped back on a piano. I think when you write to an energetic instrumental, you pull from different parts of yourself as a writer than when you’re writing to a simple piano. The song also began with the title and concept as mentioned earlier, so it was born from a lyrical perspective, with the lyric and melody front and center.” We were curious about what an average day was like with Electric and Diablo collaborating together on the project. What we learned was a bit surprising, but not uncommon to the industry. “We’ve never actually never met Don. This isn’t unusual as collaborations go these days. The daily life of a writer and producer usually consists of getting together in the studio for collaboration, but in this case, the song was written at a writing camp in a big house in the countryside, outside London. Jess Glynne and her label set the entire thing up, where all the writers and producers lived in the house for a week. Their equipment was set up in separate rooms, working through the days and hanging out until the early hours. We came in for the final two days of the camp, and in those two days we did ‘Brave’, and also Jess’s single ‘I’ll Be There.’ We were set up in the cinema room. That camp had a great atmosphere. So many talented people and a lot of camaraderies.”

And Then There Were Two…An Electrifying Bond

Back in 2007, Michelsen, who was attending Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, met his band partner, Erfjord, which little did he know, would forge an electrifying bond. “We met while attending university in Liverpool and were initially introduced because we’re both Norwegian. But we bonded over the music. Our tastes were complementary; we came from similar music backgrounds, but also listened to a lot of different music from each other.” The two lived together, sharing a flat for their first year while studying, which is where their collaborative journey began.  “Sharing the flat for our first year is where we started collaborating, first with other students from the same university, and then gradually getting production and writing gigs outside of school. Back then, we were a trio, although the third member ended up moving back to Norway. We just had a great admiration for pop music that bound us together.” The past five years for Electric, have been nothing less than exciting for both Michelsen and Erfjord. “It’s been an incredible time for us,” Michelsen emphasized. “Five years ago, we did Black Magic for Little Mix, and became heavily involved in that project and did several singles with them, which really helped us make our mark in the UK. This allowed us to work with so many amazing talents, both in the UK and the U.S., allowing us to bring together with our management in LA, which in turn, helped us expand our circle of collaborators. Along the way, we’ve amassed three number one tracks on UK’s music charts, and a couple of top five spots as well as working on slightly more alternative projects like Aurora, who in turn inspired many U.S. pop acts, most notably, Billie Eilish. I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved; it’s something my younger self would be amazed by, and I count myself very lucky.”

Jack Garratt Performs as the Ultimate One-Man Band for Dizzy Billboard Live At-Home

On July 21, Jack Garratt became a one-man band for his Billboard Live At-Home set, which raised some money for The Trevor Project, a nationwide LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention organization.

As the UK electronics artist invited online concertgoers to “sit in the beautiful pinkness of my jumpsuit,” he sat in the middle of his panoramic keyboard and drum machine studio with an electric guitar in his lap. He enhanced “Better,” “Circles” and “Time” from his 2020 album Love, Death & Dancing with his circular set-up, but the real doozy was his comedic banter on which camera to watch.

“There’s more cameras than I thought there were. Wait, wait, wait …,” he drifted in his speech while frantically turning his head all around and above him. But if one person were to be surveilling him carefully, he said it would be his younger self. “If 13-year-old me knew that on a Facebook show I would just play the guitar and ad-libbed a melody to ‘Oh, it feels good to play guitar,’ he would disown me because that’s just embarrassing for everyone.”

Warner Chappell Music Signs Latin Grammy-Winning Producer Tony Succar

Warner Chappell Music, Warner Music Group’s musical publication arm, has entered into a publishing agreement with Grammy award-winning producer Tony Succar, which can be confirmed by Billboard.

After Michael Jackson ‘s 2015 salsa-inspired tribute album Unity: The Latin Tribute to Michael Jackson, which debuted No. 1 on Billboard’s Tropical Albums Charts, the award-winning Peruvian producer, musician and arranger last year won Latin Grammy for Best Salsa Album (Más De Mí) and producer of the year.

“It’s important for me to be able to experiment and constantly evolve my sound, and I’m thrilled to partner with a team like WCM where that’s supported and encouraged,” Succar said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to collaborating with talent from different genres and cultures to create something truly unique, which is what I strive for everyday as a producer, composer, and artist. And of course bringing my Peruvian sound to the international music market is a big focus for me, it’s my culture and my roots, and the world needs to hear more of us.”

“We’re always looking to partner with genre-defying innovators like Tony,” said Gustavo Menendez, president, WCM Latin America. “His unexpected and fresh take on salsa and jazz paired with his one-of-a-kind tropical beats makes for a unique sound that has captivated listeners. We know there are even bigger things ahead for him!”

Succar recently partnered with the Raices Jazz Orchestra of Dr. Pablo Gil to release its first self-titled album in May. The album combines jazz and Latin musical styles with Grammy-winning artist such as Richard Bona and Anaadi.

August Alsina Defines His ‘Entanglements’ to Jada Pinkett Smith on New Record With Rick Ross: Listen

Since Jada Pinkett Smith broke the news of her “entanglement” with August Alsina at the Red Table Talk last week, the Louisiana crooner is back on his new track with a raging rebuttal.

 Titled “Entanglements,” Alsina taps Rick Ross for a hot partnership featuring multiple shots of fire on his old flame, Pinkett Smith. Published by up-and-coming songwriter Derrick Milano, lines like “That ain’t my girl, but I got the key to the crib and to the car” and “You left your man just to f— with me and break his heart” reside on the rocky anthem.

Alsina also quips on the sense of entanglement on the hook of the single, singing: “The definition of entanglement is when you’re tangled in the sheets.”

Pinkett Smith felt the attention of the Red Table Talk as she wanted to downplay her relationship with Alsina and referred to it as an “entanglement.” Upon being asked to expand on her comment by her husband, Will Smith, Pinkett Smith said: “Yes, it was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken,” she said. “Now in the process of that relationship, I definitely realized that you can’t find happiness outside of yourself.”

She also explained why, after her breakup with Smith, she searched after August. “That idea of needing to fix, being drawn to people that need help. Whether it’s your health or whether it’s your addictions, there’s something about that childhood trauma that feels as though it can be fixed through fixing people, versus fixing me.”

Rising Rap Artist D’NME: Achieving Success Through Artistic Freedom and Creative Control

For rising rapper D’NME, artistic freedom and creative control mark the authenticity of a music artist. These also help musicians stand out and showcase their real talents, whether through a bold and daring form of lyricism or a unique style of song delivery. Without these two, artists would have to fit into the mainstream arena, where expressing their musical niche would be close to impossible. 

Roderick Anson, more popularly known as rap artist D’NME, may not fit the mold, but he has been making significant noise in the rap industry. As a completely independent Canadian rapper, he has capitalized on his complete artistic freedom and control over his music. He has taken on some daring moves as he creates music featuring raw lyrical content. He also has experimented with his unique rapping style to give the listeners a different feel when they hear his songs.  All these have landed him to where he is today.

D’NME is the first Canadian rapper in history to receive the accolade “Freestyle Of The Week” from the DogHouse radio show. He has been featured in Hip Hop Weekly magazine’s Indie Grind Spotlight section and many other influential platforms such as Respect. Mag, Power 105.1, and USA Today.

The up-and-coming musician entered the Toronto rap industry in the late 2000s with his first mixtape, “The Death of Me.” Several more mixtapes followed, including “Guns & Roses,” which was hosted by the late DJ Whiteowl in 2012 and the mixtape “I Smell Blood In The Water” hosted by  Southern Smoke DJ Smallz. He has also recorded a freestyle for the legendary hip-hop star Sway Calloway, which was aired in Sway’s popular show Sway In The Morning.

Recently, he dropped his single “Untouchable,” which has been streamed over 150,000 on Spotify. He takes pride in this single as this has been one of the most authentic songs he has ever created. Here, he exhibited complete control and freedom in creating the music. For this track, he went all in with the rawness of the lyrical content. And it garnered much spotlight on different platforms. 

For Spotify alone, the rapper has over 50,000 monthly listeners. Last 2019, he had over 250,000 listeners from 79 countries, and overall, he had more than 400,000 streams. His YouTube channel is also growing with 10,000 subscribers. Several of his videos have reached millions of views. The most viewed video is “The Stars,” reaching over 4,000,000 views, followed by “Can’t Nobody Do It My Way” with 2,000,000 views.

Today, the talented hip-hop artist continues to make music with the hopes of inspiring more people to chase their dreams without having to change themselves. Authenticity makes one stand out from the rest of the competition, and this is what has brought D’NME in the limelight in and outside Canada’s rap scene. He believes that to achieve success, artists have to continue growing and getting better and that in the end, growth is more of a journey and not a destination.

Up-And-Coming Rap Artist Caron AKA Ronnie’s Quest to Stardom

Music is a constant in everyday living. It is everywhere; it is the alarm tone on the phone, the beeping of the microwave oven, the background noise on the elevator, and it is in TV commercials. Simply put, it is everywhere, but while it is just a part of day-to-day living for most, it is an ever-present entity for those who make a career of it and aspire to be known in the music industry.

Up-and-coming rap artist Caron AKA Ronnie was born Timothy Caron Jordan Kirksey Lanier. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and raised in the 978 Area of Lawrence and Lowell, he grew up in a household full of music. With an exceptionally skilled musician as his father, he and his nine other siblings were constantly exposed to music since infancy. His father was also the one to teach him his musical skills of singing and playing the keyboard. 

He discovered the vast opportunities for self-expression with the hip-hop genre of music when he was 10 years of age. Inspired by artists he looked up to, he started practicing right after. The foundations of Caron’s remarkable musical style then started to be built as early as that age. Initially, he delved into the world of music for the fun of it, but he later realized that he could aim higher and reach greater heights through his craft, and he began seriously writing and making music in 2019 with the goal of achieving stardom.

There began his quest for more exposure. Already with streams reaching the thousands on his Spotify artist page, it is impressive considering that his earliest tracks were released in 2020. His most popular songs are “Bounce” and “Touchdown,” with thousands of streams each.

On the 24th of February this year, he released his first Ep on Spotify with the title  Change composed of four title tracks.  The first track is “I Got Heart (Intro)” and has been produced as a music video by 1iVisuals on Youtube. 

With his existing tracks well-received by his fans, many are expecting that he will soon produce more quality content in the future. That may not come for quite some time yet, considering that his latest single was released only in May 2020. Entitled One Life, it features a thumbnail saying, “No one sees what you do, even when they do,” referring to the injustices in today’s society.

Caron hopes that his music will touch the hearts and minds of all races, considering that he writes his songs with the intent of inclusivity in mind. He is not competitive by nature and is not interested in competing with his co-artists. Instead of competition, he prefers that each artist would view another as motivation to do better. Aside from wanting to inspire his co-artists, he wants to inspire his fans as well, with the message, “Giving up isn’t an option”.

Family and friends have expressed their admiration of his strong work ethic and unpredictable creativity. They all have high hopes on Caron and expect that in due time, his hard work and vision will flourish.

Hot Debut: Blonde Sherese Sings About Her Struggle to the Top with Single “Why I Do”
Blonde Sherese has just recently debuted, dropping her single “Why I Do (featuring June B)” last July 3, 2020. The 51-year-old African American singer-songwriter has been writing since she was nine years old. Her debut song brings a fresh new sound to the table and talks about how hard the artist has worked before finally being able to release her single. Camellia Sherese Wood, or Blonde Sherese, was born in the state of Illinois. She grew up in a variety of income level households, from the farms of Michigan to the streets and churches of Ohio and Illinois. As a child, Sherese lived in multiple foster homes with her parents, separately, and relatives.  She got married at 19 and, after a long struggle with herself, tried to end her life at 29 years old. Within a year of that, at the age of 30, Blonde Sherese ended her marriage. Alone with her four children, Sherese felt conflicted and had to make what she describes as the hardest choice in her life. She allowed her children to live with their father in Pennsylvania.  In a time of hurt and confusion, Sherese found solace in the church. Having been introduced to the bible and the institution at the tender age of five, Sherese was able to connect with the church authorities. At 45, she serviced the church in the offices of lay minister, minister of praise or liturgical dance, assistant superintendent of the Sunday school department, certified community service chaplain, and women’s ministry leader. She also worked in community outreach, as choir director, and in various committees and groups. During that period in her life, Sherese was part of the working class homeless despite holding jobs as Medical Assistant, Research Project Manager, Regional Billing Specialist, Chiropractic Assistant, and Clinical Research Coordinator. Hard at work trying to keep her finances afloat and sharpening her writing craft, Sherese was taken unaware when, at forty-seven, she was diagnosed with Stage 3A Breast Cancer. It was her battle with cancer that changed her life. “Breast cancer reminded me, I have gifts and dreams that I’ve yet to pursue,” Sherese reveals. Having gone through more than her fair share of pitfalls, hurts, disappointments, and struggles, Sherese has learned that a positive and persistent attitude in confronting issues and overcoming hurdles is what results in an abundant life.  Aside from working on her music, Sherese spends her time performing stand up comedy. She is also proficient in several musical instruments, including the flute, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, and the piano. Now at fifty-one, Sherese walks on the footprints of her creator. In 2019, she founded The Dimple Foundation. The non-profit organization provides services and products for people actively going through chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. Through her music, she hopes to inspire people to follow their dreams and tell them that no matter what anyone says, they are enough and worthy. “I want them to be inspired by my story and walk away feeling if she can do, say and feel; I can too!” she remarks.  Sherese’s debut single, “Why I Do,” which features the talent of June B, is available for listening on YouTube.
