AN AVATAR IDOL?

Today i'm going to talk about a female vocalist who has featured in over 100,000 songs worldwide, 900,000 fans on facebook, one of the biggest acts in Asia. Lady Gaga has revealed that this singer will open her 'ArtRave' tour. So who am i talking about? Any ideas?

I'm talking about Hatsune Miku. Hatsune is a virtual popstar, 3D hologram.The name comes from Hatsu (First), ne (Sound) & Miku (Future), which means "First voice of the Future". The voice itself is sampled from the actress 'Saki Fujita'. Yes that's right she does'nt really exist only in the virtual world. She has sold out 3D concerts in LA, Taipei, Singapore, Tokyo & Hong Kong. Miku has a human band playing real instruments. Some fans will travel miles to see one of her concerts. Others may dress like her.

Hatsune was created by Crypton Future Media & uses Yamaha's technology 'Vocaloid'. What is Vocaloid? Its a 'singing synthesizer. You input the text. You can get male & female singers.

I have to admit when i first heard of Hatsune Miku i could'nt believe how popular she was. I mean we are talking a virtual singer here. Maybe its just me. I don't know. Its just there are so many talented singers that don't get the recognition they deserve.

What do you think? Are virtual pop idols a good thing or a bad thing?

 

Until next time

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented  singer-songwriter, musician  & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music?

I just love music in all its forms.   What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m reco...
