  • Sam Fischer & Demi Lovato New Single 'What Other People

    Sam Fischer & Demi Lovato New Single 'What Other People

    SAM FISCHER & DEMI LOVATO NEW SINGLE ‘WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY’ OUT NOW SAM FISCHER ANNOUNCED AS YOUTUBE’S FIRST ‘ARTIST ON THE RISE’ FOR 2021 Following the huge success of his global smash hit This City and recent project Homework, Sam Fischer has teamed up with Demi Lovato to release his new single What Other People Say out now via RCA Records. Listen HERE. Written by Sam before his single This City became a hit, it was a song he always knew would be a duet and was blown away when Demi Lovato became the perfect person to accompany him on vocals. Written about a feeling of being alone and not wanting to let people down, the pairing takes two different lives and perspectives and unites them in one message of human experience, emotion and togetherness, so they are alone with one another in the song. It is a truly special track with a powerful, moving and relatable chorus and is the next official single release for Sam since This City. Sam says; “What Other People Say is a confession, realizing how far away you can get from who you are in an effort to be liked. It’s about the pressures of society and how getting caught up with the wrong things can change you.” Demi says; “This song is a reflection on what it’s like to lose who you truly are in an effort to please other people and society. It’s why I wanted to make this song with Sam – ultimately it’s about two humans coming together to connect and find solutions to their problems.” Alongside the announcement of the single, Sam Fischer has also shared that he has been chosen as YouTube’s first ‘Artist on the Rise’ for 2021, which follows previous winners Mabel, Aitch, Freya Ridings, Mahalia, Beabadoobee and Celeste.

    Music Video Introduction in This Unit We Have Been Asked to Create a Music Video Including Things Like a Mise En Scene, a Genre and Lighting Styles and Techniques

    Music Video Introduction In this unit we have been asked to create a music video including things like a mise en scene, a genre and lighting styles and techniques. We are going to be researching these things throughout. Also, we have been asked to create an album cover that links to the song we choose for the music video. Another thing is we are going to learn how to use chroma key, which I am looking forward to try out. Mise en Scene Today I have learnt what Mise En Scene is, this is a French word used in the media industry and it means the arrangement of what is in the scene. To create a Mise En Scene you include lighting, color, costumes, props, and Décor which includes the location and set. Also, you should think about the space around the person the camera is focusing on, for example, if you're creating a sad scene the scene around the character might be empty with just the character alone. The clip below is a short example me, Tegan and Layla created. mise-en-scene At the start you can see Tegan sitting at the table by herself, in an empty room on her phone. She is looking quite sad. You can tell we thought about the scenery and the framing in this as we chose a grey and white colored room with Tegan sitting alone in the corner so the audience can see she is alone. Also, we changed the camera setting to an Infared light which emphasizes on the mood that Tegan is showing in this scene.

  • Beatles Broke up 50 Years Ago This Year

    :: View email as a web page :: The Beatles broke up 50 years ago this year. Which is strange, because they’re still one of the most popular rock bands on the planet. By now, the number of Beatlemaniacs who weren’t alive when the band was together likely outnumbers the fans who were. Even in the context of classic rock, this is an incredible phenomenon. The world keeps turning round and round, and yet we remain eternally stuck on The Fab Four. The Beatles are so famous that their “hits” extend well beyond the songs that were technically released as singles. “Blackbird” has been streamed nearly 200 million times on Spotify, and it was never released as a single or even played on the radio that much. Neither was “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Nor were “Drive My Car,” “Good Day Sunshine,” or “The Fool On The Hill.” Even their deep cuts are very well-known. Virtually nothing about them is obscure. While everyone has opinions on this band, I decided to wade into the Beatle waters for my very own ranking of the 100 best Beatles songs. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it... Our YouTube channel is now the ofcial home to two classic My Bloody Valentine tracks. The latest episode of Indiecast closed out the year with the nal Indiecasties awards. Charly Bliss teamed up with Pup for a rocking new holiday song. Bandcamp has been waiving their cut of revenues once a month since March.
