Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell Continue Charting "Blurred Lines" Globally

Robin Thicke seems to be surprised about his track, "Blurred Lines" is still topping the charts. The track which features  chart topping rappers, T.I. and Pharrell helped stimulate the beat and music around Robin's soulful voice.

According to some sources in which people have felt the song was a little too "rapey" in the music video, "Blurred Lines" has been growing like "leaps and bounds" becoming a number one song in 52 countries as well as charting sales on itunes. 

The very much anticipated album of Robin Thick, which is called Blurred Lines, will be released on July 30th.

RYAN LESLIE TO RELEASE THIRD STUDIO ALBUM, LES IS MORE ON OCTOBER 22 FIRST SINGLE "BEAUTIFUL LIE" FEATURING FABOLOUS SERVICED TO MIXSHOW RADIO THIS WEEK

TO RELEASE THIRD STUDIO ALBUM, LES IS MORE ON OCTOBER 22  FIRST SINGLE "BEAUTIFUL LIE" FEATURING FABOLOUS SERVICED   TO MIXSHOW RADIO THIS WEEK New York, NY - Harvard-educated producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, entrepreneur and recording artist Ryan Leslie will release his third studio album,Les Is More on October 22 via NextSelection Lifestyle Group/BDG (BDG is distributed by RED Distribution, a division of SONY Music Entertainment). The first single from the album "Beautiful Lie"featuring Fabolous is being serviced to mixshow radio this week. Listen/Post | "Beautiful Lie" f/ Fabolous Les Is More is the very first rap album fromRyan Leslie, and is the follow up to the Grammy-nominated R&B album Transitionreleased in late 2009. Les Is More is influenced by Leslie's collaborations with top rap artists such as Fabolous and Kanye West, both of whom appear in the video for the autobiographical track "Glory." Leslie was further inspired when he sat in for the recording sessions of the Grammy award-winning album Watch the Throne. "Watching Jay and Ye's creative process further inspired me that rap was the right direction for this album. However, I also knew that a departure from my previous critically acclaimed R&B work would require an even more robust artistic contribution."    Fueled by that challenge, Ryan Leslie created an unprecedented body of work. Along with the music which was written, arranged, produced and performed by Leslie, he also directed and edited a series of music videos to accompany each record. The result, Les Is More is a ground-breaking visual album shot in Paris, Milan, Switzerland, Miami, Las Vegas, and Manhattan that provides a unique and intimate window into Ryan Leslie's life. Leslie recently sat down with Sirius XM's Sway In The Morning Show to discuss his inspiration for creating a rap album, and performed at the 3-day J&R Musicfest in New York City on August 24. Ryan Leslie will also kick off his world Les Is More Tour in San Francisco on September 18, an electrifying show with live instrumentation and sweeping keyboard solos.

Winston Warrior Lifeology 101 Independent R&B Singer/Songwriter

Fans longing for artists who can combine the modern R&B sound with more mature and reflective vocals will appreciate [Winston’s] efforts. – SoulTracks

Winston Warrior is an amazingly driven and talented singer. His music is a creative blend of vintage R&B with modern music sensibilities. – Vince Phillips, Entertainment Attorney

Winston has put together a great album; a timeless effort that will excite true rhythm and blues fans! – Shanti Das, PressReset.me

Everyone gets burned. Sometimes so badly that it cripples you; leaves you unable to move past the pain and incapable of seeing beyond the fog. The sting that always lingers can leave you in limbo, lacking vision and wondering where to go next. It can make you forgetful, losing sight of what it was you were trying to accomplish in the first place. Or it can inspire you and provide the exact motivation needed to push you into overdrive. It can propel you forward to that place where you begin to pursue your goal with reckless abandon. This is precisely Winston Warrior’s story.

Atlanta born and truly Southern raised, Winston Warrior painfully lost his virginity to the music industry in the ‘90s. As an original member of the break-out R&B group, Lo’ Profile, Winston’s budding music career was promising and longevity was the plan. They already had two hit singles, “Missing You” and “Play Melody” on radio rotation and garnered much local industry acclaim as one of the hottest male groups in Miami and South Beach. Winston, along with his group-mates, were frequently booked as opening acts for major artists such as Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, Dru Hill, Soul 4 Real, and Bone Thugs N Harmony. With packed venues, a growing fanbase, and a successful audition with an influential player in the game, all of the group’s hurdles had been cleared with grace. Success, however, never comes easily and it soon became apparent how crucial a role ulterior motives had played in their achievements and the group split up as the harsh realities of the world were too great for their dream to survive.

While the collaborative dream did not make it to fruition, the ever present longing for Winston to create and fulfill his artistic goals never dissipated. He was now armed with a business degree from the University of Miami and had plenty of production and performance experience under his belt to pursue a path in marketing. Although not in the spotlight as before, success in Winston’s corporate endeavors soon followed and he was able to make new as well as retain the strong industry connections he had from his showman days. Hesitant, however, to reemerge as a musician because he had been away from the game for so long, Winston’s insecurities overshadowed his desire to sing. Fortunately, Winston’s support system was instrumental in encouraging him to reconnect with his music.

What began a year ago as Winston’s rebirth has now brought him full circle as he is once again an emerging artist. This time, however, he is wiser and in complete control of his artistic vision. No longer a teenage singer, Winston is more mature. The sound of his music harkens back to the sounds of one-name legends like Luther, Freddie, Teddy, Barry, and Donny. Winston’s music is a fusion of smooth hip hop beats and harmonic R&B themes, coined by him as “Vintage R&B”.

For Lifeology 101, Winston Warrior fashions a relatable storyboard of experiences common to all. While most of the songs’ thematic content revolves around the phases of love, the overarching message of the album is one of progression; maintaining the pursuit of your goals in spite of life’s obstacles. With the creative genius of collaborators and producers, Don Vito and Sean McMillion from Don Vito Productions, Selasi “The African Kid”, Lenny Hamilton, Jr., and Trey “DJ Gman” Thomas, as well as international special guest, SeizVres Palace, Winston Warrior reminisces on his heartbreaks, failures, achievements, and how he found closure and knowledge in every experience to become the man and artist he is today.

An avid fan of soul and R&B, Winston Warrior creates music that embraces the original sounds while honoring the contributions of the genres’ legendary figures. “Bad 4 U”, the album’s debut single epitomizes Winston’s signature style and has already garnered significant internet and satellite radio play. Pairing warm vocal tones with picturesque narration and vintage synths, Winston Warrior has created a 12 track album that showcases both his strong writing and vocal abilities. Additionally, in similar fashion to today’s most prominent indie artists and learning from lessons passed, Winston Warrior, maintains his artistic vision and takes control of the music, manufacturing, promotion, and art direction of Lifeology 101.

Lifeology 101 Tracklisting:

1. Keep Movin’

2. Winner

3. Walk With U

4. Elevator

5. Willin’ 2 Work 4 It (One of the Best)

6. Crossroads
