Jack & Jack Release Highly Anticipated Debut Album, “A Good Friend Is Nice”

Leave a comment

They’re just two best friends chasing the same dream.  Jack Gilinsky and Jack Johnson just dropped their hotly anticipated debut album, “A Good Friend Is Nice” through Island Records.

The duo’s album was definitely worth the wait!  Featuring several new tracks like “Lotta Love,” “April Gloom,” “Pose,” and the long awaited “Day Dreaming,” the album is filled with signature upbeat party tracks but Jack & Jack are throwing their hats in the ring with mid tempo tropical jams like “Promise Me” and “Barcelona.”

Once the album hits it’s stride, we’re treated to the two stand out stracks, “Used To You Now” and “Meet You In The Sky.”  “Used To You Now” is a sultry track about getting into a routine with your new flame and being scared of falling in love with someone again while “Meet You In The Sky” brings a fun dance groove to get us out the winter rut we’re stuck in.

Listen to Jack & Jack’s debut album “A Good Friend Is Nice” on Spotify now!

Grab your tickets to see Jack & Jack on tour kicking off in February in Amsterdam, taking the guys through Europe and the UK and hitting the US through April. Tickets and VIP packages are on sale now but not for long!  Check out all of the tour dates here.

Jack & Jack Release Acoustic Duet with Olivia O’Brien

Leave a comment

Jack & Jack just dropped an acoustic duet for their smash hit single “Beg”  featuring former tourmate Olivia O’Brien. The original track, written by Lauv, has nearly 1 million Youtube/VEVO plays and over 15 million global streams to date. That’s a huge accomplishment given Jack&Jack only released their major label debut EP, “GONE” a year ago!

“Beg” marks the first single for Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky to hit Top 40 radio and caught the attention of Z100’s Elvis Duran.  Elvis recently featured Jack&Jack on the TODAY Show as his “Artist Of The Month” for January 2018.

Watch the brand new video for the acoustic version of “Beg” now.

Artist To Watch: PRETTYMUCH

Leave a comment

If you’re a long time Secret Fangirls reader, you know that we’re HUGE fans of classic boybands – y’know, they ones that harmonize and dance in sync!  From Backstreet to New Edition to NKOTB to Big Time Rush, dancing boybands are a staple in any pop music landscape.

Our latest Artist To Watch fills that dancing boyband void that’s been open since BTR went on a break.   PRETTYMUCH is the boyband that are quickly making a name for themselves despite only putting out music a few months ago!  PRETTYMUCH were assembled by Simon Cowell who knows a thing or two about creating a hit factory. PRETTYMUCH consists of Austin Porter (19, Charlotte, North Carolina) Brandon Arreaga (17, Corinth, Texas), Edwin Honoret (18, Bronx, New York), Nick Mara (19, Manalapan, New Jersey), and Zion Kuwonu (18, Ottawa, Canada) making them a true North American boyband!

After releasing their debut single “Would You Mind” on July 21st, the song skyrocketed to the top of the charts and has stayed on playlists throughout the Summer and we’re sure will continue to propel PRETTYMUCH into superstardom.  Watch the official video for “Would You Mind” below!

Even better, PRETTYMUCH just announced they’re hitting the road this Fall with Jack & Jack on the “FALL2017 Tour” throughout November.  Tickets go on sale Thursday, Sept 21st at 10AM local time.

Grab a copy of “Would You Mind” on iTunes or Amazon so you can sing along on tour!

Jack & Jack first met back in kindergarten, instantly bonding over the fact that they were wearing the same shirt and had the same name!  They eventually started creating music together and have come to be known for their perfect blend of pop and rap.  Jack Gilinsky brings the hooks while Jack Johnson brings the verses.  They just dropped a brand new EP, “Gone,” which brings their music to a new level.

We spoke up with Jack & Jack before their performance at Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day in NYC.   Who would they pick as their doubles partner?  What would they pick as their walk-on song?   Watch our interview below and find out.
