By Hans Ebert There’s been a whole lotta shaking and tweeting going on in the past few weeks, and now that the social media genie is well and truly out of the bottle forever screaming, “Feed me”, the more that music is relegated to a nondescript cameo role while celebritydom is elevated to an obscene [...]

By Hans Ebert It takes a lot for a train to cry and it takes a lot for a dam to burst and, gawd knows, it takes having to sidestep so many half-baked promises, and flimflam fakers to get to halfway near nowhere as a- I don’t really know, anymore. A chanteuse? Recording artist- and [...]

Just as they got fake tatts, shaved their heads, wore pants hanging off their arses, learnt all the right handshakes and embraced the Hip Hop culture, while either the night before, or after that, they were whiny emo bands, originality in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry has been in short supply. After jumping on Pharrell Williams’ [...]
STATUES AND LUPA J AND THE AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE MUSIC INVASION
Posted: 17th August 2014 by We-Enhance in Marketing, Music, Music Industry, Music MarketingTags: Adele, Amy Winehouse, female singers, Gotye, Hit Girl, Imogen Jones, Lorde, Lupa J, Sarah Blasko
There’s probably never been a time in music that there’s been so many female artists- new singers being discovered almost weekly- and not in any assembly line way, or like some supermarket sale either. When Amy Winehouse started to happen, as is often the case, every music company wanted “their Amy model” on the artists [...]

It was good to see that despite it being over fifty years ago today that he and the other three lads taught- and are still teaching- other bands to play, the genius and magic of McCartney- Sir Macca- bass guitarist, musician extraordinaire and musical catalyst, has not been lost on people who still stick to [...]
SAVE THE CHINA TIGER- A WORSE CON THAN THE BIEBHO, KIMYE AND REALITY SHOWS.

“Sometimes we do the happy dance”, says Jessie. “Eric is soooo big that he doesn’t know he sometimes hurts me”. And with that, Jessie wraps her legs around Eric and the big lug happy dances her into the bed room. I have no idea who Eric and Jessie are, but from what I saw, I’m [...]
LORDE, THE ROYALS AND THE CRITIC

If you haven’t heard it as yet, do listen to a 16-year-old artist named Lorde- real name Ella Yellich-O’Conner- and her song called Royals. It’s one of the most complete and honest songs I’ve heard in a very long time and it’s great for those tired of fakery, puffery and beats topping the Billboard charts. [...]
