Hawaiian Country Act MAOLI Releases New Collaboration With Brett Young "Broke Heart Break"

South Pacific Country music is coming to the mainland. Hawaiian Country artist Maoli (Mah-oh-lee, meaning “native”) has a new single, "Broke Heart Break" [LISTEN below]––a collaboration with multi-platinum singer/songwriter Brett Young––available now on all platforms with ONErpm and Huff Co., who entered into a joint venture last year.

“I want people in the Country community and the world to know how special we are as a people and the connection we have with Country music,” says Maoli. “Country music isn’t just a pair of boots I’m trying on. It’s the boots I wear every day, there’s just a little sand in them.”

Maoli was raised by cowboys and has lived in the Hawaiian countryside his entire life. His lifestyle has guided his music, perhaps best described as island-influenced country. He’s amassed a dedicated fan base throughout the Pacific Rim and Caribbean and is already popular on the West Coast. Now he’s ready to share his brand of Country music with the rest of the mainland.

Maoli was already a big fan of Brett Young’s music, so it’s only fitting his new release is a collaboration with Young. “I covered the song ‘In Case You Didn’t Know,’ and it was a big hit in the South Pacific,” he explains. After Maoli covered several more of Young’s songs, Young reached out on Instagram. As they talked back and forth, Maoli discovered Young’s fondness for Hawaii. The next time Young visited Maui, the two met for dinner and agreed they should do a song together. “And that’s how the collaboration came about,” Maoli says. 

Young, whose No.1 hits include “In Case You Didn’t Know” and “Mercy,” says, “The day Jesse [Frasure] and I wrote this song, I knew it belonged with a special artist. I had been a HUGE Maoli fan for some time, but it wasn’t until I met him for dinner last year in the islands that I realized he was the perfect fit.” Young continues, “The fact Maoli wanted me to be a part of it with him was an absolute honor, and I think this song is going to be a big ole hit!”

Now, Maoli is introducing “Broke Heart Break” as the lead single off his new album, slated for release next summer. “Broke Heart Break” is a bittersweet country collaboration featuring island vibes and instrumentation:

Noel Scharis & Jennifer Nettles Release "Love's Still Here" via ONErpm

ONErpm’s Nashville and Latin offices have teamed up to release the duet with hit Argentine singer-songwriter and pianist Noel Schajris and GRAMMY-winning American entertainment powerhouse Jennifer Nettles. Sung in English and Spanish, the lead single, “Love’s Still Here,” is available now and premiered on the Latin Music Awards.
 
This is the first time that Noel Schajris and Jennifer Nettles have joined voices. “Love’s Still Here” is part of the spectacular bilingual ten-song Spanish and English album Timeless that will be released in 2024.

“Ya ven aquí... encontremos la manera de recuperar esas ganas de vivir una eternidad... ya ven aquí, ya ven por mi” ("Come here... let's find a way to regain that desire to live for eternity... come here, come for me.”), verses one of the choruses that harmoniously unites the voices of these two Latin and American superstar artists.

Noel Schajris affirmed that "the vocal connection he has with Jennifer is special" and that from the first time they met "everything was magic.”  He shared, “The title of the first single ‘Love's Still Here’ is very appropriate for today's times to emphasize love and timeless music. What an honor to unveil this magical project on the Latin AMAs stage with my sister Jennifer Nettles! Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your voice with me on this adventure.”

Nettles added, “I'm absolutely thrilled to finally offer this very special project to the world! And to do it for the first time at the Latin American Music Awards is a dream. Collaborating with Noel, it was so organic; as if I had been singing and writing with him forever.”

The music video that accompanies “Love's Still Here” was filmed in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, under the direction of Sergio (Teco) Allard, during the darkness and intimacy of the night on a rooftop, with a piano. Watch the video HERE.

"Love's Still Here" debuted at the recent Latin AMAs held in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 25, a Latin music awards show that was broadcast on the TelevisaUnivision Hispanic network.

Noel Schajris, a Latin GRAMMY award-winning pianist and music composer, is one of the most iconic and beloved voices in Spanish-language music. His ability to move and connect with audiences through profound lyrics and captivating melodies is well known and has brought him international fame.

Jennifer Nettles is a iconic entertainer across multiple platforms, having won three GRAMMY® Awards and an Emmy Award. Her voice is one of the most exquisite in music today, and her achievements also include five ASCAP Awards, six ACM Awards, five CMA Awards, the Human Rights Campaign's Ally for Equality Award, and the Artist Impact Award from the Lincoln Center.

He has six studio albums as a solo artist and has sold more than 25 million records and 1 million concert tickets. He has also performed duets with artists such as John Legend, Brian McKnight, Luis Fonsi, Alejandro Sanz, Alejandro Fernández and the group Reik, among others.

ONErpm Signs Britnee Kellogg + New Single "Hell in a Handbag" Set for 4/12

With her latest single “Hell in a Handbag,” singer/songwriter Britnee Kellogg—ONErpm Nashville’s newest signing—is ready to take this town by storm. An American Idol alum (seasons 11 and 12) and mother of three, Kellogg is making a name for herself in a crowded female country artist landscape with insightful lyrics that resonate with real women.
 
“In this space,” the 39-year-old recently told People magazine, “there’s so much pop country from young artists ... and there’s a place for it, but I don’t really feel like we have that grown-ass woman right now that can speak to the moms struggling to make ends meet.”
 
The product of a single mom and her own tumultuous first marriage, Kellogg gets it.
 
“They don’t want to listen to a song about a breakup. They’re in the trenches and they need a song to put on to make them feel empowered. And that’s really what I want my music to do.”
 
Like her last release, “She’s Come a Long Way”—an anthem celebrating women who have overcome adversity—“Hell in a Handbag,” produced by Autumn McEntire and Jared Conrad and written by Tori Tullier, Alyssa Micaela and Olivia Rudeen, is again championing the cause, just in a slightly different manner. With lines like Might get a few looks for the flask full of whiskey and packets of Pedialyte, Kellogg exposes the flaws modern women have, daring the listener to take her to task for admitting them:
 
      I got an old parking ticket that I'm never gonna pay,
      And an empty liquor bottle from an airplane;
      Got a lighter that I borrowed from a cowboy in Texas,
      Still got the spare key to my ex’s Lexus;
      A can of dry shampoo and a toothpaste tube
      for nights I don't make it home;
      Add the Advil to that and a couple red flags,
      Yeah, you could say I'm going to hell in a handbag
 
“We know how fortunate we are to work with Britnee. Her songs express a point of view we rarely get to hear today,” says Shelby Kennedy, ONErpm Nashville’s director of A&R. “At ONErpm, we believe ‘unique deserves unique,’ and that is why we are extremely excited to work with such a strong new talent.”

“We know how fortunate we are to work with Britnee. Her songs express a point of view we rarely get to hear today,” says Shelby Kennedy, ONErpm Nashville’s director of A&R. “At ONErpm, we believe ‘unique deserves unique,’ and that is why we are extremely excited to work with such a strong new talent.”
 
A Vancouver, Wash., native, Kellogg’s love of country music started at age 6 when she attended a Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash concert. Smitten from the first note, Kellogg knew even then she had found her chosen career. Today, you’ll find her sharing the stage with artists such as Blake Shelton, Eric Paslay, Lee Brice, Kane Brown, Little Big Town and Keith Urban.
 
Kellogg is currently performing on stages across the U.S., writing new music and recording in the studio. She is booked by The Kinkead Entertainment Agency, Nashville. For more information, visit BritneeKellogg.com and follow her socials on Facebook (439K followers), Instagram (172K followers), TikTok (1.3M followers) and YouTube: (42.3K subscribers).

Introducing The Barbarians of California (Members of AWOLNATION, Tinfed) + Band Shares "Where Are the Punks"

The West Coast's contribution to hardcore punk is undeniable. That tradition of aggression, passion, and scrappy melodicism continues with The Barbarians Of California, an engaging new manifestation of iconoclastic spirit and true bombast. They are equal opportunity iconoclasts, gleefully thrashing the left and the right in the hardcore-punk tradition of nonconformity and raw fury. The band isn't "political," because they aren't advocating for anyone's platform. The central message is defiance. 

Today, the band has shared the video for the hellacious new single "Where Are the Punks," out now via ONErpm. Watch it below. 

"Where Are the Punks' is about being disappointed when you find out your childhood heroes are no longer rebellious," the band explains. "Everyone has the tendency to soften as their age. We are fighting against that in this song. This was one of the first song the band started working on for this project. Eric lead crafting the instrumentals and the lyrics were inspired by Aaron's college professor telling him to question authority."

So, who, exactly, are The Barbarians of California?

You'll be glad you asked.

Eric Stenman and Aaron Bruno first collided in the California hardcore scene of the early '90s. Stenman cut his teeth in the same Sacramento community that eventually launched diverse and disparate acts like Deftones, Far, Will Haven, Team Sleep, Hella, Dance Gavin Dance, Death Grips, and Trash Talk. Bruno was born and raised just north of L.A. and nicknamed "AWOL" by his high school friends.  Eric played guitar for cutting-edge, electro-infused rockers Tinfed. Commercial success eluded them despite a cult following, a deal with a major label, and an appearance on the M:I 2 soundtrack. 
 
Bruno co-founded the hardcore band Insurgence as a teenager. His next band, Home Town Hero, toured with Weezer and Stone Temple Pilots and released a major label album, but combusted in 2004. Next came Under The Influence Of Giants, who, despite critical acclaim, disbanded in 2008. Stenman became one of the most sought-after producers of alternative rock. His discography as a producer, mixer, and engineer includes important releases from 7 Seconds, Senses Fail, ††† (Crosses), and AWOLNATION. AWOLNATION, of course, is the multi-platinum act Bruno formed in 2009. 
 
The spirit of the underground and the personal catharsis delivered through metallic hardcore never left either of them. So, when Aaron learned that Eric crafted a batch of throwback bangers combining impassioned angst with modern sensibilities, he wanted in immediately. The Barbarians were born. 
 
The apparent "full circle" moment isn't lost on either of them. "It's a funny time in our lives to go back and make the most aggressive music we've ever created," Stenman laughs. “Both of us have always had a love for this world. If given the opportunity, why not try to give back to it?"

The band previously shared "Dopamine Prophecy." Listen here.

More from The Barbarians of California is on the horizon, so stay tuned...

SINOPTIK Release Music Video for New Single "The Call"

New Album 'The Calling' Out June 11th - PRE-ORDER

Ukrainian Psychedelic Prog-Rockers SINOPTIK have launched the pre-order for their highly anticipated new album 'The Calling', as well as releasing their fourth single from the record, titled "The Call". Filmed at the "Museum of Cosmonautics dedicated to Sergei Korolev" in the city of Zhitomir, Ukraine, "The Call" clocks in at over 9 minutes, and serves as proof that Sinoptik are not just here to rock, but also have a message in their music.

Sinoptik's new album 'The Calling' will be released on June 11th, 2021 via OneRPMand is now available for pre-order HERE.

Speaking on the themes lyrically and visually in the new video, the band shares: "'The Call', as well as the album title 'The Calling', is dedicated to the one who calls and to the one who hears the call. To the ones who sacrificed everything for their dreams and hopes, and proved with their work and minds that there are no boundaries and that anything is possible. This song is about the trueness and belief that continues to create peace and

saving humanity."

Vocalist/guitarist Dmitriy Afanasiev also remarks about the location where the video was filmed: "It took us a long time to figure out how to maximize the conceptual depth of the song this long without involving Netflix. We decided to focus on the places nearby and truly deserve the iconic status. In this case, such a place is the 'Museum of Cosmonautics dedicated to Sergei Korolev'. Space exploration is an important part of our country's culture, and we believe that this museum was the perfect place to remind the whole world where human space exploration began. People have stopped looking into the night sky, they've stopped dreaming ... and we want to remind them that this is vital for our civilization to move forward."

Working hand in hand with The Museum of Cosmonautics, the band decided to release the video for "The Call" on International Museum Day to amplify the importance of Art and Science working together and promote cultural development in the Ukraine well as worldwide.
