Erin Barra releases a scary new song ”Heartless Horseman” just in time for Halloween!

Singer/Songwriter/Multi-instrumentalist Erin Barra is giving her fans a free
download of her Hip Hop Halloween track Heartless Horseman available for
digital release!

Coming on the tails of Barra’s critically-received CMJ performances, the
track was recorded earlier this month at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio.
Heartless Horseman is a 21st century take on the Legend of Sleepy
Hollow. Barra sings of a villain who collects the hearts of countless women
in hopes of filling the void in his own broken and empty chest; rapper Kon
Boogie joins Barra to give voice to the ghoul: Sound the alarm and secure
the fortress because he’s coming for you.

Honey LaRochelle: Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry http://www.thebloomeffect.com/blog/2011/10/19/honey-larochelle-clean-lust-and-dirty-laundry/ http://www.thebloomeffect.com/blog/2011/10/19/honey-larochelle-clean-lust-and-dirty-laundry/#comments Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:01:42 +0000 thebloomeffect http://www.thebloomeffect.com/blog/?p=7729

Honey LaRochelle has come up with this crazy fresh conceptual mixtape that’s full of lust and flavor— Known as the Urban Honey Bee…

Vancouver born, Texas raised, Florida reformed, Brooklyn saved, Denmark adopted, Croatian loved, Miss Honey Larochelle has been making audiences around the world laugh, cry, and jump out of their seats. Fresh off another European tour, “The Urban Honeybee” has been buzzzy in the studio crafting a kaleidoscope of music that spans adventures in love, sex, dance, intimacy, and honesty. “Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry” is a juicy exposé that showcases her crisp, soaring soprano gift and captures her dynamic songwriting and production skills.

Honey collaborated with an amazing line up of producers on “Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry:” Lions Share (Anthony Hamilton, Pharoahe Monch), Caviar (T.I), Danish Reggae producer, Pharfar (Beenie Man), and several up-and-coming geniuses. Her warm yet edgy mash-up of classic soul, hip-hop, and electro-pop is sure to make an impact on her listeners and on the industry itself. With the final touches blended and mixed by fellow Canadian Super-DJ Miss Erica Dee, you should bee excited. Bee very excited.

Honey Larochelle, the “Urban Honeybee” with a modern day pin-up girl image, airs out her growth, transition, mistakes, and passions on a clothing line for the world to see. This is not your average mixtape built on other people’s beats or songs. The honey of this record is all-original ear candy.

Strive Till Genesis Be Rises http://www.thebloomeffect.com/blog/2011/02/02/strive-till-genesis-be-rises/ http://www.thebloomeffect.com/blog/2011/02/02/strive-till-genesis-be-rises/#comments Thu, 03 Feb 2011 03:21:32 +0000 thebloomeffect http://www.thebloomeffect.com/blog/?p=7309

I went to this Uganda Break Dance Project screening of a film called ‘Bouncing Cats’ at NYU not long ago and I was introduced to this girl Genesis Be by my friend and esteemed colleague Martha Diaz of the Hip Hop Education Center/Hip Hop Association.

Genesis hosted the affair- I was immediately drawn to her charismatic personality and energy.  We stayed in touch and I asked her to rock an Efficacy which got a great reaction from fans when we premiered it on ThisIsRealMusic - It’s now up on my Youtube channel-  peep it here:

Genesis Be is not your average MC by any means- firstly- she’s deeply rooted in the south- Mississippi to be exact – it’s very much reflected in her rhymes and rhythmic arrangements.  She moved here to NY to study at the Clive Davis School of Recorded Music..She’s also a self-starter/entrepreneur and has formed an organization called StriveTillIRise - What started out as T-shirts has now become a movement.  You can read more here: Washington Square News.

I’m expecting big things from Genesis Be so stay tuned.. I’m trying to convince her to call the album  ‘Mississippi to Manhattan’
