Tiffany Houghton Releases “I’m Gonna Love You”

Tiffany Houghton just released the music video for her brand new single “I’m Gonna Love You!”   The video has a fun, mod look that goes perfectly with the upbeat track.  We love Tiffany’s knack for writing catchy tunes that you can’t help but sing along to!  Tiffany’s last single, “Catch Me If You Can,” went straight to #1 on the Radio Disney chart over the Summer.  We think you’re gonna love this song just as much!

Watch the video for “I’m Gonna Love You” below.

Jake Miller Premieres “Overnight” Video

Leave a comment

Jake is all about making your fangirl dreams come true!  He just premiered his brand new video for the single “Overnight” starring Simone Biles – yes, that Simone Biles, the 4-time gold medalist from the 2016 Olympics.

Jake Miller was one of the many celebrity hotties that Simone fangirled over, including Zac Efron, who flew to Rio to surprise her!  But Jake outdid the movie star by inviting Simone to star in his brand new music video.  Take that Zefron!  Simone went from lip synching along to “Overnight” in her hotel in Rio to starring in his video.  Simone gets the gold medal in fangirling as well.

The video follows Jake and Simone as they try and work out their differences and yes, change takes time, but Jake can definitely fix everything overnight.  The video has everything: Jake in a tank top, Jake in a tank top on a revolving bed, Jake and Simone dancing together, and that killer denim jacket on Simone (ahem, where can we get one of those?) and some serious muscles courtesy of Jake!

Watch the video for “Overnight” below!

Be sure to pick up a copy of Jake’s “Overnight” EP on iTunes or Amazon now.

SWMRS Sign With New Label and Re-Issue “Drive North”

Leave a comment

Oakland native punk rockers, SWMRS just announced they signed to Fueled By Ramen and they’re re-releasing their debut album “Drive North” with two brand new bonus tracks!  The band also put out a lyric video for “Lose It”  as well as a full music video for “Palm Trees” directed by singer/guitarist Cole Becker.

The new single “Palm Trees” talks about how the industry takes advantage of and exploits young artists, and the video contrasts everything we’ve seen from SWMRS videos in the past. “Our music videos are typically more fun and colorful, but we wanted to do something a little darker to convey the manipulator/manipulated dynamic in the song. It’s an interesting juxtaposition, given our recent signing to Fueled By Ramen,” said Cole.

Watch the video for “Palm Trees” below.

Don’t forget SWMRS are supporting FIDLAR this Fall on tour as well as headlining a couple dates on their own. Get your tickets while you still can!

MAX Releases “Lights Down Low” Video

Leave a comment

MAX just dropped the music video for his new single “Lights Down Low” featuring Gnash and it is giving us SO MANY FEELS.  MAX always has creative and interesting concepts for his videos, and this one is no exception.   The concept, execution, and the song are just perfect together.

MAX shared his thoughts on Facebook:  “This video was almost 6 months in the making and means more to me than any other we’ve ever created thus far. Every detail was crucial. Every moment in the story. We just wanted it to be real. How our lives are really made up of individual flashes in time. Special moments that are unexplainable and intangible yet go by in a flash.”

Watch the video below and try not to cry. We did about 3 times.

Jake Miller Performs Sold Out Show at Highline Ballroom in NYC

Leave a comment

Jake Miller celebrated the release of his “Overnight” EP with a sold out show at Highline Ballroom in NYC last night. The show, which sold out in 20 minutes, was packed with fans of all ages, many of whom waited for hours out in the cold to claim a spot in front of the stage.  (so worth it).

Jake’s set included all of the tracks from his new EP, as well as fan favorites from 2015’s “Rumors” EP (one of the greatest EPs ever released) and his debut album. The energetic crowd sang and rapped along to every word, never missing a beat!

p1580159

Jake showed off his many talents throughout the night, switching from singing to rapping.  He brought out the acoustic guitar for “Selfish Girls” and hopped on the piano for “Could’ve Been Me.”  Jake even pulled one lucky young fan from the crowd to sing and dance along to “Dazed and Confused” with him on stage.

As usual, it was hard not to fangirl cry when Jake performed “Millions,” his touching tribute to his fans. The crowd was prepared with signs thanking Jake for “touching a million lives.”

p1580915

During the show, Jake dropped some huge news – he’s going back out on a headlining tour in 2017! He told the New York crowd he would be back at the Playstation Theatre in Times Square, where he played last Summer.  You know we’ll be there!  Stay tuned for the official tour announcement.
