    RISING HYPERPOP STAR ELYOTTO RELEASES “SUGARCRASH!” FEAT. KIM PETRAS AND CURTIS WATERS (Los Angeles, CA – April 23rd, 2021) - Rising Hyperpop star ElyOtto releases a new version of his hit song “SugarCrash!” featuring pop sensation Kim Petras and on-the-rise artist/producer Curtis Waters via RCA Records. Listen HERE. ElyOtto says, “I never thought my own song could sound this good. Kim and Curtis added so much energy to it, it gives me goosebumps every time I listen.” Kim Petras says, “I heard “SugarCrash!” and, like anyone who’s ever been on TikTok, had it on repeat for a while. When ElyOtto reached out I immediately said yes, wrote the verse, and sent it in. And ElyOtto loved it. I love ElyOtto as an artist and feel really proud to be a part of this.” Elliott Platt, the 17-year-old singer, songwriter and producer from Calgary, Canada known as ElyOtto, has taken the internet by storm with his insanely catchy earworm of a song “SugarCrash!” which has reached #11 on the TikTok Viral Charts and has garnered over 8M creations. The hyperpop bop has bounced off the platform and is a streaming juggernaut with 100M streams on Spotify to date, peaked at #43 on the Spotify U.S. chart and reached No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 playlist in February. ElyOtto, who has been called “the New Face of Hyperpop” by SPIN Magazine, is looking forward to releasing new music under his newly inked deal with RCA Records.

His chart domination was followed by his fi rst Grammy nomination in seven years - cementing his comeback.

That’s because he used a moniker - Tyson Trax - for Doja Cat’s “Say So,” which he produced and co-wrote. The hit tune is competing for record of the year, where Dr. Luke is in contention as the song’s producer. “It’s diffi cult to say whether or not Grammy voters are aware that ‘Tyson Trax’ is used as a pseudonym,” Harvey Mason Jr., the academy’s interim president and CEO, said in a statement to The Associated Press. “While it’s true that the ‘Tyson Trax’ producer credit would be visible on the ballot entry, I would imagine This image provided by Harpo Productions shows Prince Harry, (from left), and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, in conversation with Oprah Winfrey.

  • 2021 Breeze Show Choir Catalog
    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 2/24/21) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples and cost) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** For songs that do not have vocal rehearsal tracks, these can be created for $150/song. To place an order, send an e-mail to [email protected] or submit a license request on Tresona listing Garrett Breeze as the arranger, Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Most SATB songs, for example, can be easily reworked for SAT. • Remember that show function is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing an arrangement. For example, if something is labelled in the catalog as a Song 2/4, it is probably not going to work as a closer.

    Pop 2 a second packet for popheads written by Kevin Kodama Tossups 1. Palmistry discussed this project with the artist on the radio show The Candy Shop. A song from this ​ ​ project that goes “blue summers sitting high in the window” repeats the same word 96 times. Another song from this project kicks off with the words “I’m so bored” and describes the artist’s lazy routine. A <1> single from this album features ​ synthesizers that sound like crashing waves alongside lyrics like “I ​ know in the future / We won’t see each other”. This album’s lead single is a glitch-pop ballad called <2> “forever”, and its cover art shows the artist lying on a bed holding a camera. ​ For ten points, name this ​ quarantine concept album that was created in six weeks by Charli XCX.

  • Copy of EPQ: Formal Essay
    How Queer Identities Have Progressed Within the Music Industry History of queer identity within the music industry The recent trend towards more visibility in the music industry is enigmatic of a larger trend as the pride movement gained momentum. The Stonewall Riots of 1969 marked a turning point in queer identity, demanding rights and protection against police brutality - paticularly towards gay men and trans women of colour. The Stonewall Riots launched queer identity into the public mainstream, and for the first time queer idenity was not only legalised in the UK but also visible. This started in the rock scene of the 1970s, a genre characterised by it’s defiance of the mainstream. Naturally in such a unbashidely indivalidsitic environment like rock, queer idenity flourished, although still when it reached mainstream it had to be censored behind metaphors and slights of hand. The most famous example of rock’s queer sexuality was Queen, fronted by queer icon Freddie Mercury, although the full extent of his queer idenitity within his music is often debated. One popular interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen’s three part rock ballad, is that it’s a song about a gay or queer man coming out, being rejected, and then coming into his own – not proud in spite of their sexuality, but because of it. As comedian Guy Branum wrote in his memoir My Life As a Goddess, later posted to pitchfork in 2018, “Bohemian Rhapsody is a breakup song for your mum,”1 in an article when he links his own fraught coming out with his parents to the murder depicted in the song.
