24-MEMBER GIRL GROUP TRIUMPHS WITH THEIR UNIQUE MEGA-GROUP STRATEGY

ā€œa captivating listen that was well worth the waitā€ – NME

After a two-year journey of assembly, tripleS, sensational 24-member K-Pop girl group is now complete, making waves with their groundbreaking mega-group strategy (second in terms of group size to boy group NCT), with the release of their highly anticipated debut full-length album ASSEMBLE24 on May 8th to the excitement of their global fandom named WAV.
 
Navigating the intricacies of music show activities with such a large group has presented challenges, from coordinating transportation logistics to managing wardrobe as well as makeup and styling, the members have risen to the occasion with finesse and sheer determination, working alongside their management and glam teams.
 
With synchronised group choreography and dynamic performances by the members, tripleS captivated fans with their versatility and charisma. The fruits of the group’s labour are evident in their recent achievements. Lead track ā€œGirls Never Dieā€ surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify in a mere three days of its release and the
accompanying music video has garnered over 7 million views in just eight days. ASSEMBLE24recorded remarkable sales of 150,000 copies in the first week of its release and secured the ninth spot in initial album sales among girl groups this year, according to the Hanteo chart. The crowning moment came on May 14th when tripleS clinched their first music show trophy on SBS M The Show, a testament to their fandom’s dedicated and unwavering support, whom pioneer member Yoon SeoYeon expressed heartfelt gratitude towards during her acceptance speech on behalf of the girl group.
 
Under the visionary leadership of CEO Jaden Jeong, who was instrumental in the conceptualisation of popular girl group LOONA, K-Pop agency Modhaus embarked on an ambitious project to build the largest girl group in South Korea in 2022 that cost over 10 billion won to produce. The members (born between 2001 and 2010) are of diverse nationalities, ethnicities and backgrounds - 17 Korean members, 4 Japanese, 1 Taiwanese-Vietnamese, 1 Chinese and 1 Thai - bringing a unique flair to the ensemble. From the revelation of Yoon SeoYeon as the first member in 2022 to the unveiling of JiYeon as the final addition to tripleS’ lineup has been nothing short of remarkable.
 
Embracing innovation, Modhaus adopted a unique operational method that empowers fans to actively participate in tripleS’ activities. Through the COSMO app, fans have a say in concepts, the formation of members in a unit, title song selection, thus fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Voting rights are obtained by purchasing Blockchain NFT-based merchandise such as member photocards called ā€˜Objekts’, and revenue from these sales directly contributes to the members’ income, independent of Modhaus’ investments. This decentralised approach, reminiscent of Japan’s AKB48 popularity-based voting system, brought about the formation of distinct units (known as ā€˜Dimensions’), including AAA, +(KR)ystal Eyes, Acid Eyes, LOVElution, EVOLution, NXT and Aria, from the outset of tripleS’ journey. The group members are enthusiastic and excited for the fan-driven future under this evolved system where they will have equal opportunities when fans are instrumental in shaping the group’s direction, redefining the boundaries of fan engagement in the K-Pop landscape.
 
Looking ahead, tripleS is poised to debut and captivate audiences across Japan, partnering with Sony Music’s SME Records, with joint oversight from SM Entertainment’s Japanese subsidiary Stream Media Corporation and Ligareaz. Jaden Jeong, CEO of Modhaus, stated, "The partnership between SMC and Ligareaz for tripleS's activities in Japan is a recognition that the evolved fan engagement method proposed by Modhaus and the achievements made through it can also succeed in the Japanese market. We expect that tripleS's music and system will be well-loved by Japanese fans, who are already familiar with fan-participatory idols and voting systems."
 
tripleS is gearing up for an exciting world tour slated to kick off in the fourth quarter of this year.

The Ransom Collective’s Muri teases the release of her newest single ā€œAfternoonā€ ahead of her debut EP

May 24, 2024

The violinist/singer-songwriter sets sight on dropping her first solo EP this year

 

The Ransom Collective’s Muri is slated to drop ā€œAfternoon,ā€ the first single off her upcoming debut EP to be released this year.

 

The Filipino singer-songwriter and violinist teased the project’s date of release on her social media accounts, along with the song title.

 

According to Muriel Gonzales, ā€œAfternoonā€ was inspired by her personal experiences as a young woman navigating career and life challenges entirely on her own, in a country far away from home.

 

ā€œI’ve been working on this song for quite a while,ā€ she admits. ā€œWithout revealing too much about the creative and thought process behind Afternoon, I actually find it freeing to open up about being vulnerable and share a piece of myself through songwriting. Sometimes, expressing what you really feel helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself as a person and as an artist. Making the entire track was both a journey and a reflection. I can’t wait to share it with the rest of the world.ā€

 

Currently based in London and Paris, Muri is working on her solo EP, with plans to perform her new material in Europe and Asia sometime this year.

 

Muri is best known for her work with indie folk collective The Ransom Collective as a violinist and singer. As a solo artist, she has earned a nomination for Wishclusive Contemporary R&B Performance of the Year at the prestigious Wish Awards and Favorite Female Artist at the 35th Awit Awards for her pre-debut 2022 single ā€œLetters.ā€ In the subsequent year, she collaborated with electronic producer LUSTBASS on a remix of "Thunder," which garnered a nomination for Best Remix Recording at the 36th AwitAwards, the Philippines' equivalent of the Grammys.

1999 WRITE THE FUTURE TEAMS UP WITH BASKETBALL & MUSIC LEGEND SHAQUILLE O’NEAL AKA DIESEL AND DJ NITTI ON ā€œRAW I KNOW I GOT ITā€

May 24, 2024

LISTEN HERE

 

(ā€œRaw I Know I Got Itā€ artwork - download HERE)

 

LOS ANGELES, CA (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - Continuing to transcend expectations, today, music collective 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE releases new single ā€œRaw I Know I Got Itā€ featuring NBA legend, rapper and DJ Shaquille O’Neal, aka DIESEL, alongside Los Angeles-based DJ & producer NITTI. The track is out now via 88rising and RCA Records—listen HERE.

 

ā€œRaw I Know I Got Itā€ is a minute and a half-long victory lap from the Hall of Fame basketball player, who intros the track with audio of him being picked number one overall at the 1992 NBA Draft. Backed by a beat as big as the former Lakers center, SHAQ drops bar after bar about smashing backboards, his ā€œquadruple platinumā€ NBA record and obtaining global respect. Long revered in the industry, Shaquille O'Neal has dominated hip hop with certified hits like ā€œWhat’s Up Doc? (Can We Rock)ā€ and ā€œBodies Freestyle,ā€ as well as electronic music under the alias DIESEL with tracks like ā€œBang Your Head,ā€ ā€œGorilla Warfareā€ and ā€œHeat.ā€ In ā€œRaw I Know I Got It,ā€ SHAQ puts his musical chops on display for 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE, name-dropping his All-Star crew, from Inside the NBA co-panelist Kenny Smith to the late legend Kobe Bryant.

The new track follows the releases of 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE’s latest singles ā€œfIT chECK fREEsTYleā€ with pop experimentalist Jean Dawson, ā€œWhAT yoU WaNTā€ with genre-bending artist Deb Never and ā€œPUMP IT UP ε=ā”Œ(^_^)ā”˜,ā€ featuring Indonesian rap powerhouse, singer and producer Rich Brian and breakout rapper TiaCorine.

 

Earlier this year, 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE released their debut compilation project, hella (ĖƒĢ£Ģ£Ģ„ā•­ā•®Ė‚Ģ£Ģ£Ģ„) ✧ ā™” ā€§ĀŗĀ·Ėš:, which features genre-spanning collaborations from the likes of Rich Brian, Warren Hue, Ghostface Killah, Busta Rhymes, Smino, Cuco, Amaarae, Offset, BADBADNOTGOOD, Westside Gunn, Dumbfoundead and more. The album boasts A-list features across 24 songs, pulling back the curtain on 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE’S anachronistic lore while capturing the sights, sounds and vibrancy of Northern California culture and beyond, through the lens of 88rising honcho Sean Miyashiro’s childhood nostalgia and wonder. Listen to the full project HERE.

About SHAQ

Revered cultural icon Shaquille O’Neal is referred to in the celebrity tradition of a one-word moniker: Shaq. Over his fruitful NBA career spanning nearly two decades, Shaq was named to the NBA’s list of 50 greatest players of all time and inducted into NBA Hall of Fame. The four-time NBA Champion, 15-time NBA All Star, and three-time NBA Finals MVP has been named one of the most influential athletes by Forbes as well as the highest-ranked NBA athlete on Nielsen’s ā€œState of the Media: Year in Sportsā€ and Business Week’s ā€œPower Sports 100.ā€ Shaq electrifies every room with his larger-than-life personality, consistently receiving standing ovations for his motivational keynote speeches.

 

Off the court, Shaq has established himself as a powerful media personality and businessman. Ranked among ā€œThe 100 Most Creative People in Businessā€ by Fast Company magazine, Shaq currently manages a diverse business portfolio and serves as an analyst on TNT’s Emmy-award winning show, Inside the NBA. In addition to being an early investor in companies such as Google, Shaq has managed an internationally beloved personal brand, which has included television shows, a shoe line and social media/tech products.

 

About DIESEL

Shaquille O'Neal is one of the most dominant basketball players in NBA history and is now also one of the greatest entertainers on earth. At 7'1" and 325 pounds, Shaq's larger-than-life personality and powerful athleticism have resulted in worldwide admiration and one of the most passionate fan bases in sports and entertainment.

 

Shaquille has been passionate about music from a very young age - at just 14 after O'Neal saw Public Enemy live for the first time, while sandwiched in a crowd of 5,000 people, he became fixated on DJ'ing. He cut his neighbors' grass, walked dogs and scraped together any cash that he could until he saved up $200 to buy his first set of turntables at a local pawn shop. Fast forward to 1993, Shaquille's rap album, ā€˜Shaq Diesel,' did the unthinkable of selling over a million copies and peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 100 cementing O'Neal as the only athlete ever with a platinum-selling album. Since becoming DJ DIESEL, SHAQ has released several major bass records with acts such as Steve Aoki, Riot Ten, NGHTMRE, Riot Ten, Eliminate, 4B and many more.

 

From there, DJ Diesel's career was born as he cemented the title of ā€œthe biggest DJ in the world.ā€ DJ Diesel has graced main stages around the globe from Lost Lands to Tomorrowland, EDC LV, Lost Lands, Lollapalooza, Electric Zoo, Forbidden Kingdom, Beyond Wonderland and even launched his own festival series - Shaq's Bass All Stars - all while balancing a Las Vegas residency at the WYNN (XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club). ​​​​

Hear James Reid’s emotional ballad, ā€œHurt Me Tooā€

May 24, 2024

The stripped-down track serves as his first release under Sony Music Entertainment

 

Filipino music superstar James Reid is the latest addition to the growing Sony Music Entertainment family, which counts the likes of SB19, Ben&Ben, Denise Julia, O SIDE MAFIA, and Clara Benin as part of its elite roster.

As a key figure in contemporary pop and R&B music in the Philippines for more than a decade, James Reid has gifted music fans around the world with compelling jams that transcend eras and generations. With chart-topping records, sold-out tours, and well-received brand campaigns under his belt, the music mogul, actor, and singer-songwriter continue to strike a balance between commercial viability and artistic independence, ensuring that there’s a place for artists like him in the mainstream music scene, who don’t need to pander to existing trends for a hit.

For his first project under Sony Music Entertainment, James Reid explores the theme of being heartbroken in the new single ā€œHurt Me Too.ā€ A stripped-down ballad that packs an emotional punch, ā€œHurt Me Tooā€ finds him grappling with the realities of a heartbreak.  

The Tim Marquez-produced track shows James at his most vulnerable, looking back at the ghost of his past with equal moments of fondness and pain.

ā€œI wrote the song three years ago together with Seth Reger, an artist from LA,ā€ the talented multi-hyphenate shares. ā€œHe really helped me tap into these emotions that I didn’t even know I was feeling at that moment.ā€

According to the Randomantic act, ā€œHurt Me Tooā€ marks a significant shift in his sonic and lyrical direction—a crucial decision that he admits, would define the next phase of his music era. This time around, the focus is more on the storytelling aspect of his music-making: unearthing old wounds and memories, and turning them into an inspiring piece of work.

He explains, ā€œFor this next album I’m working on, I wanted to focus on the core of who I am as a songwriter with minimal but intentional music production. Hurt Me Too is like a palate cleanser for me in a way that it introduces a change in sound and direction.ā€

The heartfelt tune will be accompanied by a music video release helmed by Elena Virata, a close friend of James. ā€œThe concept was simple but powerful, focusing on unreleased emotions and frustrations,ā€ the award-winning recording star adds.

James Reid’s ā€œHurt Me Tooā€ is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
