Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
Although the Haiti relief effort has lost some attention from the media in recent weeks, this still remains a serious humanitarian issue. To help raise funds, CP Records had some amazing Canadian Urban artists perform a benefit concert to help raise money. We had a chance to speak to Choclair, Karl Wolf, Danny Fernandes, and Belly who all performed at the event.
On Monday, a new benefit single was released to radio stations across the country, featuring musicians from Billy Talent’s Ian D’Sa to Choclair.
“Song For Africa” is being released to raise awareness among youth in Canada about the issue of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
It was co-written by Winnipeg producer Darcy Ataman, along with musicians Rob Wells, Luke McMaster and Simon Wilcox.
“With over 6,500 preventable deaths happening daily due to AIDS in Africa, and an entire generation of children being orphaned, it is time we shed some light on the matter in this lucky part of the world called Canada,” said Ataman in a press release.
Starting on Tuesday, August 1, listeners will be able to buy the song either in stores or on iTunes. Proceeds from the sales will go towards supporting a mobile health unit in Kenya, run by Free The Children.
Here’s a full list of contributors:
Ian D’Sa (Billy Talent), Ian Thornley (Big Wreck, Thornley), Choclair, Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar, Grady), Kyle Riabko, Ken Tizzard (The Watchmen, Thornley), Liam Thomas Killeen (Not By Choice), Daniel Greaves (The Watchmen), Tara Slone (Rockstar INXS finalist), Liam Titcomb, Damhnait Doyle, Keith Macpherson and Renne Lamoureux (Easily Amused), Sean Jones aka Smooth (In Essence), Luke McMaster, Simon Wilcox, Karl Wolf, Kelly ‘Mr. Chill’ Hoppe (Big Sugar), and George Leach.
When Choclair said he was releasing an album on his own label, leaving the major labels and putting all the stress on himself, the fears were that his album would be less polished. Shame for thinking Choclair would make an album with imperfections.
“Flagrant” solidifies Choclair as one of the driving forces in Canadian urban music. Each album he comes out with makes him a better artist, and each album makes the Canadian hip-hop scene a stronger player.
The best material is when Choclair is able to rap the verses, and the chorus is left for someone else. Fortunately, much of the album follows that formula, including the first track, “All I Need In This World Is You,” complete with beat-boxing and the chorus by Solitair. The first single, “Back Where I’ve Stayed,” features Big Black Lincoln singing the chorus, while the second single, “Skyline,” has Andreena Mill performing the chorus; both songs very radio-friendly.
Another highlight is “Till Now,” with the infamous Toronto hip-hop group “The Circle,” featuring Jully Black, Kardinal Offishall and Saukrates. If there was any doubt “The Circle” were not as strong as they were 10 years ago, this song proves otherwise.
