Listen to Cody Simpson’s New Song “Flower”

February 4, 2015 secretfangirls Leave a comment

We’ve been anxiously waiting for new music from Cody Simpson, and it’s finally here! Cody announced he was going independent last summer in order to make the music he’s wanted to make all along. We were curious to see just what he meant, especially since he’s made some of our favorite jams over the last couple of years (“Surfboard,” “Got Me Good,” etc) Cody just released his first track as an independent artist, “Flower.” It’s definitely a slight departure from some of his previous tracks, but it still has Cody’s signature laid back, beachy pop sound. Listen below and pickup a copy on iTunes now!

Make sure to tune into GMA this Friday, February 6th, to watch the first live performance of “Flower!” If you’re in NYC, you can see also Cody perform this weekend at the Forever 21 store opening. Details below!

Cam Premieres Debut Single “My Mistake”

February 3, 2015 secretfangirls Leave a comment

Rising country star Cam, whom you might remember from the Where It All Began Tour with Dan + Shay, just released her first official single! The track, “My Mistake,” is something we all can relate to. The single is her first since signing a deal with Sony Music Nashville earlier this year. We are looking forward to hearing more from Cam this year – her opening set on the Where It All Began Tour was a blast! She had the crowd pumped up in no time, with tracks like “Country Ain’t Never Been Pretty,” “Fireball Whiskey,” and “Go Get ‘Em, Cam.” We love her clever, honest lyrics paired with classic country stylings.

Cam is currently working on her debut album. Get to know Cam and listen to “My Mistake” below. Pickup a copy of the single on iTunes now!

The Friday Five: Concert Movies

January 30, 2015 secretfangirls Leave a comment

The next best thing to seeing your favorite artist on tour is the concert movie! The Backstreet Boys’ documentary, Show Em What You’re Made Of, is in theaters and on iTunes today. Here are some of our favorites over the years.

1. Best of Both Worlds Concert in 3D

This movie kicked off the 3D concert movie trend – it started as a way for people to see the incredibly popular tour, which sold out in seconds and had infamously high resale tickets. We were lucky enough to catch this tour in person (twice!) but the 3D movie was a perfect way to relive the show, or experience it for yourself.

2. Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience

Jonas Brothers had a two song role in the Best of Both Worlds 3D movie, as the opening act on the tour that helped launch their careers. They had their own 3D movie the following year, filmed on the Burnin’ Up Tour. Which we went to 3, 4 .. okay 6 times. It was nice to give our Bonus Jonas DVD a rest for a while.

3. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never

This one just might make a Belieber out of you, and is concert movie propaganda at its finest. At least we have a nice document of the good old days? Remember that hair flip?

4. Katy Perry: Part Of Me

Katy is known for her fun, upbeat personality and live shows. The most memorable part of this movie is a scene where Katy manages to go from a complete breakdown to perform for a crowd of 50,000 in a matter of minutes. Talk about a pro.

5. Backstreet Boys: Show Em What You’re Made Of

It’s remarkable that BSB have been together for 21 years now! Yes, Kevin ditched the band for a few years, but the Boys never actually broke up. So can we quit saying Backstreet’s Back, alright? They never went anywhere, and they’ve had it goin’ on for years.
