Party High with FAR EAST MOVEMENT’s ‘Dirty Bass’

Press Release:

Isn’t it evident that the musical trend these days takes on a ‘club vibe’ remix? Turn on the radio and you’ll hear most of the pop songs possess an ‘in the club’ factor like Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been”, Nicki Minaj’s “Starships”, Justin Bieber’s “All Around the World”, Jessie J’s “Laserlight”, The Wanted’s “Chasing the Sun”, Mika’s “Celebrate”, Owl City’s and Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Good Time” among others. Los Angeles group Far East Movement (also known as FM) does just that as they party high with their newest album, DIRTY BASS

Far East Movement members Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman take elements of hip-hop, electro, alternative, and dance to create an original pop sound and lifestyle they refer to as Dirty Bass, their fourth studio album. The 16-track album features mind-blowing collaborations with Justin Bieber for the lead single “Live My Life”, Redfoo of LMFAO for a ‘Party Rock Remix’ version of “Live My Life”, Tyga in “Dirty Bass”, Pitbull in “Candy”, Cassie for “Fly With U”, Alvaro in “Show Me Love” and Ryan Tedder of One Republic for “Rocketeer” which is a platinum selling Top 10 Billboard charting that connected with new fans of all ages. Dirty Bass also includes the new single “Turn Up the Love” feat. Cover Drive, “Where the Wild Things Are” feat. Crystal Kay, “Flossy” feat. My Name Is Kay, “If I Die Tomorrow” feat. Bill Kaulitz, “Ain’t Coming Down” feat. Sidney Samson & Matthew Koma, “Basshead” feat. YG, “Lights Out (Go Crazy)” feat. Junior Caldera & Natalia Kills, the ethereal standout “Little Bird” plus their chart-topping tune “Like a G6”.  

FM creates music that bridges the gap between underground party records and mainstream pop music. The group found mainstream success after building a following in the Downtown Los Angeles club scene. Their hit, "Like a G6", instantly exploded on radio and sales charts, reaching triple platinum-plus status and the top spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart making them the first Asian-American group with a #1 song in the country.
 
Dirty Bass, with its booming bass line and sexy airtight melodies, definitely works in the clubs, but it's also meant to be pumped up while driving, working out, or anywhere else.

DIRTY BASS is out now in CDs exclusively under MCA Music available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video or online via www.MyMusicStore.com.ph

MCA MUSIC presents NICKI MINAJ a Gold Record Award for “PINK FRIDAY”


NICKI MINAJ painted the town pink during her one-night-only jam-packed concert aptly titled “Nicki Minaj Live! in Manila: Pink Friday Tour” at the SM Mall of Asia Arena last July 11, 2012. The tour was actually her first visit in the Philippines and it seemed that she already made quite an impression to her Filipino Barbies & Kens (Nicki’s teenage fans) --- Manila, I can't thank you enough for tonight! You guys were absolutely incredible. Best night ever! Thank you! Speechless... I think Manila had the loudest encore screams I've ever heard! "WE WANT MORE, WE WANT MORE!!!" So I ran back out in my new pink robe! Ha! And then we drove out the venue and thousands of people were in the streets going crazy. I rolled the window down until I got in trouble”, Nicki tweeted Wednesday night.

Immediately after her successful show, MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) presented the “Super Bass” superstar her GOLD RECORD AWARD in recognition of the outstanding sales performance of her first album, PINK FRIDAY. Among those present in the awarding were International Label Manager MJ Juco, Marketing and Events Manager Grace Foronda and Advertising and Promotions Executives Arlene Garcia and Karen Hernandez.

Pink Friday debuted in November 2010 where it peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. Nicki Minaj became the first female solo artist to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 all at the same time. Her song, “Super Bass”, became the highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 rap hit by a solo female rapper in nearly a decade. This ‘boomin’ and tongue-twisting tune spawned international viral success with covers appearing everywhere. On the other hand, her newest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, has already sold nearly 1.5 million albums worldwide. The current single, “Starships”, continues to fly on the Billboard Top 10 for twenty one consecutive weeks since its debut.


Nicki Minaj’s PINK FRIDAY and PINK FRIDAY: ROMAN RELOADED albums are out now in CDs exclusively under MCA Music available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video or online via www.MyMusicStore.com.ph

NICKI MINAJ Soars High with ‘Starships’


After her tremendous feat with “Super Bass”, NICKI MINAJ proves she's not slowing down anytime soon with the release of her latest single "Starships." The song lyrics aptly describes this single’s smashing success as it continues to soar high through the charts --- ‘Starships were meant to fly /Hands up and touch the sky / Can't stop 'cause we're so high /Let's do this one more time.’ It has broken through globally charting Top 20 at iTunes in over 40 countries and on its way to 5 million tracks sold. Her newest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, has also sold nearly 1.5 million albums worldwide.

Nicki Minaj’s 22-track second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (Deluxe Edition), is not a reissue of the original Pink Friday album -- despite its confusing title. It's an all-new release, led by its official first single, the club-ready anthem "Starships." For this album, Nicki worked with a variety of producers such as Hit-Boy, Dr. Luke, Ester Dean, Rico Beats, RedOne  and Oak. She also collaborated with artists like Cam’ron & Rick Ross in “I Am Your Leader”, 2 Chainz in “Beez In the Trap”, Lil Wayne in “Roman Reloaded”, Nas, Drake & Young Jeezy in “Champion”, Chris Brown in “Right By My Side”, Bobby V in “Sex in the Lounge” and Beenie Man in “Gun Shot” plus the urban tunes “Roman Holiday”, “Come On a Cone”, “Hov Lane”, “Whip It”, “Automatic”, “Beautiful Sinner”, “Marilyn Monroe”, “Young Forever”, “Fire Burns”, “Stupid Hoe”, “Turn Me On”, “Va Va Voom”, “Masquerade” and the next official single, “Pound the Alarm”.

Nicki Minaj is a Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer, songwriter and voice actress. Her first album, Pink Friday, debuted in November 2010 where it peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and is certified Gold in the Philippines. She became the first female solo artist to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.

Nicki Minaj’s new album PINK FRIDAY: ROMAN RELOADED STANDARD/DELUXE EDITION is out now in CDs exclusively under MCA Music available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video or online via www.MyMusicStore.com.ph
