Blush ‘Undivided’ feat. Snoop Dogg Climbs Up to #3 at the US Billboard Dance Charts

Having already performed the song on national TV, BLUSH’s debut single “Undivided” (featuringSnoop Dogg) vaulted its way into the Top Ten (this week at #3) on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Chart.  This follows club performances for BLUSH–Victoria, Natsuko, Angeli, Ji Hae and Alisha–in Los Angeles (The Colony, Eleven, Avalon, and Rage).
BLUSH debuted “Undivided” to the world when they opened for Justin Bieber earlier this year in Hong Kong. Last month, the Pan-Asian group (together the girls represent China, Japan, Korea, India and the Philippines) made theirU.S. TV debut on FOX’s wildly popular “So You Think You Can Dance.”  This came on the heels of the debut of their hotly anticipated global debut single which premiered on Yahoo.com via the animated video for “Undivided” to an overwhelming response.  The animated clip for “Undivided” which also featured Snoop Dogg marked the first-ever music video created solely utilizing the Brushes App for iPad.
“Undivided” is an irresistible anthem of solidarity and devotion that heralds the arrival of a group that embodies the style and spirit of girls everywhere, all with a sound and attitude like no other international act today.  The “Undivided”track is produced by Darrell Brown (Keith Urban, Bon Jovi) and Steve Schnur (veteran A&R executive and producer of over 150 soundtrack albums, including tracks by Florence + The Machine and Busta Rhymes) and mixed by Manny Marroquin (Pink, Rihanna).  The song’s seductive message of empowerment showcases each girl’s breakout vocals and energy, and each BLUSH member’s personality is as distinctive as her background:
• Victoria–‘Queen V’–is the regal and poised singer/dance with model-looks and an extensive gymnast background who while being raised in Hong Kong recorded several successful singles for the Chinese market.
• Natsuko–‘Nacho’–is the Japanese dance-crew veteran with a Hip-Hop vocal soul.
• Angeli is the sensual singer from the Philippines who was former lead singer of two bands as well as a top contestant on Pinoy Idol.
• Ji Hae born and raised in Korea, is the seemingly shy former law student with an R&B heart who has earned the nickname ‘Tiger’ because of her wild side.
• Alisha–‘Ali B’–is the youngest member, a multi-talented and multi-lingual Hindi singer/dancer who brings together Bollywood and Salsa with Hip-Hop and World Pop.
The girls are managed by FarWest Entertainment – a Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore-based independent production company that delivers unique multi-platform global entertainment, including Television, Music, Movies, Animation and other high-quality digital content. Creativity is the universal language: Our mission is to bridge Asia and the West through exclusive intellectual properties, distinctive corporate focus and some of the best new entertainment ventures in the world.  More information can be found at:  www.farwest.tv.

Words I Never Said - Lupe Fiasco ft. Skylar Grey

After watching the three-ring circus on ANC this morning, I dedicate this to the youth in my country. I’m not asking for an Egypt-type revolution. I’m asking for our generation to let themselves be invigorated — allow themselves to collate information that is due to them, by asking the right questions — and begging them to form an opinion and voice it…on Twitter, on Facebook, over a San Mig on a Friday night. This is no longer an age of politics being inappropriate table conversation. This is our future. Our peace of mind. This is (as Daphne Osena so fittingly put it on Twitter) about us having the right to a roll of toilet paper in every lavatory, as much as it is about us not feeling accosted by policemen trying to get a little extra lunch money.

This is about killing complacency. About developing as a nation, with funds being allocated where they were intended, and not being diverted into the pockets of Army and Government officials.

This is about you, kids. About voice. About music. About freedom of expression.

Speak those words you never said.

-s.
