STEPHANIE POETRI RELEASES NEW SINGLE“INVITED” OUT NOW VIA INFINITE THRILLS/88RISING

“...Stephanie Poetri will always be a staple in our soundtracks.” - Nylon

“ Tapping into her ability to merge authentic songwriting sensibilities with a stunning vocal quality, Poetri moves from the soft, ethereal musicality she has previously cultivated into a bigger and more powerful mix of indie pop and rock…” - Earmilk

“....an atmospheric and upbeat indie pop-rock ode to the type of love that defies the stars.” - Sweety High  (on “Astrologically Illogical”)

“INVITED” 

LISTEN // ARTWORK

Los Angeles, CA (July 21st, 2023) - Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Stephanie Poetri continues her musical evolution with the release of her new single, “Invited,” out today via Infinite Thrills/88Rising. “Invited” follows Stephanie’s most recent single “Astrologically Illogical,” as well as a U.S. tour supporting Lyn Lapid, which saw Poetri winning over packed rooms across the country. While her music has been known for its soft, ethereal qualities, these new songs showcase her continued growth as a songwriter and see Poetri embracing the power of her voice with a bolder and edgier sound inspired by the indie rock she grew up with. “There weren't a lot of female artists in that world back then,” says Poetri, “so I see myself wanting to fulfill that position, and make songs that have a little bit of edge. I want to put some more femininity into indie rock.” 

Growing up in Indonesia with a former trombonist and marching band instructor for a father, and a pop star for a mother it was the tropical house of Kygo and the melodies of K-pop that cemented Stephanie’s early interest in music. Her initial intention was to be a tropical house producer, but after discovering and being inspired by K-Pop, Poetri started to take up songwriting. In the middle of her very first producing class, Poetri started releasing songs just for fun, the second release being her 2019 viral hit, "I Love You 3000,” reaching over 365 million streams to date, including 156 million views on the DIY video she and her sister made to accompany it, and a remix version, “I Love You 3000 II,” featuring Jackson Wang. Poetri did not end up finishing the producing class and has been writing and releasing music ever since.

Although her sound continues to evolve, a quality that continues to be ever-present in Poetri’s writing is her authenticity and sensibilities toward sharing relatable experiences with fans. “Invited” is an honest examination of ego and the need for inclusion and is inspired by the yearning to be invited to the party, while knowing you have no desire to attend.  

“Invited” and “Astrologically Illogical” follow the release of Poetri's collaborative tracks, “No Explanations'' (with Elephante and ZHANG YANQI)” and “Breakfast in Bed” (with gnash).” Next up, Poetri will be performing at Head in the Clouds Festival in Los Angeles, CA taking place August 5thand 6th.

About Stephanie Poetri

Like her name suggests, Stephanie Poetri’s music has a softness to it, an ethereal quality that comes through crystal clear in her stunning alto voice. Originally, her very first single, “I Love You 3000,” was just a snippet for social media, but the overwhelmingly positive response from Poetri’s followers sent her back to the studio to transform it into a full song. Stephanie followed that up by signing with transformative, internet-savvy powerhouse 88rising, a tastemaking giant for Asian talent, and a move to Los Angeles, which allowed her to explore the other areas of artistic expression. Along with music, Poetri’s creative background includes a love for visual arts and video games, both of which have been a big part of her aesthetic as an artist. In this new era, she’s incorporating edgier rock sounds into her own music, and a healthy dose of indie pop and indie rock is forever part of Poetri’s musical DNA. Citing contemporaries like Beabadoobee, Julia Michaels, Lizzy McAlpine, Gracie Abrams—and the ever-present touchstone of Taylor Swift—Poetri has been working on plenty of new material and is ready to enter into a new phase.

Red Horse Among the Top 30 Most PowerfulSoutheast Asian Brands, according to new Kantar BrandZ ranking

San Miguel Brewery’s Red Horse ranked amongthe most powerful brands in Southeast Asiaaccording to the inaugural Kantar BrandZ Top 30 Southeast Asian Brands report. The Top 30 – covering Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore – covers brands from categories such as alcoholic beverages, telecommunications, banks, technology, retailersand travel services.

Together, Financial Services and Telecom Providers contribute two-thirds of all the brands in the region with Indonesia’s Bank Central Asia (BCA) emerging as the most powerful brand.  The next most represented category is Telecom Providers, with nine brands making the list followed by Retail and Travel Services.

Red Horse is the only Philippine brand to crack the top 30 list thereby making it the top beer brand in the Philippines.  

High demand power. Through creating powerful connections with local consumers, Southeast Asian brands have the highest Demand Power,compared with other markets with a Kantar BrandZ ranking. Demand Power is a Kantar BrandZ measure of a brand’s ability to drive consumers’ predisposition to buy.

Katie McClintock, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Kantar, says, “Our region’s leading brands have good reason to celebrate. They contribute significant value to the companies behind them, by connecting with consumers andadapting to their changing needs. In such a fast-changing, diverse, and rapidly growing region, brands need to be agile – and the Top 30 are masters of remaining relevant. There is huge potential for significant further growth if they can extend their local strengths into other Asian and even global markets.”

In the Philippines, top brands deliver brand purpose effectively, resulting to a deeply-rootedtrust and emotional bond with consumers.

Soumya Saklani, Managing Director, Philippines, Kantar, comments, “Besides the traditional trust established by years of proven expertise, it is increasingly important for Philippine brands to enable change and improve our world in ways that consumers care about. Moreover, as weemerge from the pandemic, newly acquired daily habits are here to stay.Thus, it is important for brands to fit into today’s consumers’ daily lives.  Lastly, amid shrinking discretionary budgets in a challenging economic landscape, consumers will remain willing to pay for brands which can lead the way in anticipating and meeting the needs of consumers.”

Other trends from the Kantar BrandZ Top 30 Most Valuable Southeast Asian brands analysis include:

• Southeast Asia’s brands are the second most trusted in the world. The most deeply trusted brands grow with pace and consistency, especially in uncertain times. Indomie (No.15) leads the field in the Top 30, generating trust through offering familiar tastes that have been loved for generations.

• Relevance builds demand. The brands that consumers perceive as ‘fitting well into everyday life’ have almost double the Demand Power of their least relevant peers. Malaysia’s Grab platform (No.19) is seen as most relevant. The brand offers a comprehensive range of services that make it the go-to choice for daily needs – including GrabCar, GrabFood, and the GrabExpress courier service.

• Sustainability is a value driver. Consumers expect businesses to play a leading role in tackling environmental and social issues and helping them to make sustainable choices. Few brands in Southeast Asia are perceived as having outstanding sustainability credentials, meaning there is a strong first-mover advantage to be won.

Javier Parisi’s Imagine: The Beatles Legacy is happening this week!

Javier Parisi, the world’s greatest John Lennon tribute act, will be staging his highly anticipated concert this week!

Delivering his best impersonation of the legendary rock icon with authentic musical performance, the Argentinian act is slated to headline his own show featuring some of the most notable hits of The Beatles and John Lennon.

The concert will take place on July 15, 2023, Saturday at the Music Museum. Globally renowned and endorsed by John Lennon’s family and inner circle, Parisi takes world-class impersonation and interpretation to an entirely new level—this time, in front of the Philippine audience.

“I’m really excited to meet the Filipino fans,” said Parisi. “Aside from the performance, this event also serves as a celebration of Lennon and The Beatles’ unparalleled legacy in utilizing music as an agent of social change. It’s my honor to share this gift to the music lovers out there who want a piece of the past even just for a moment. I promise to entertain and not disappoint.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Javier began studying guitar and learning the English language when he was eight. The charismatic star was heavily influenced by The Beatles growing up, and even created a Fab Four tribute band with friends from his hometown to perform in various venues all over the world.

Having grown his fanbase through the years with his pitch-perfect copy of Lennon’s look and sound, Parisi made a mark with his incredible impersonation that reached global cities from end to end, and even ended up performing in musicals produced the Lennon estate.

Tickets are still available via Ticketmax and Ticketworld, or you may call the Music Museum at 8721 0635 / 8721 6726.

Dominic Fike drops new album, Sunburn

Photo by Bethany Vargas

Dominic Fike has finally released his sophomore album Sunburn via Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment. The album finds him returning to his native Florida, examining the culture and environments in which he was raised that are unique to the Sunshine State. Included in the album's release is the standout track, "Mona Lisa," which Dom created with longtime collaborator Kenny Beats and was also featured in the box office-topping film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Also featured on Sunburn are "Frisky" and "Think Fast," two tracks that have been teased over the past few months and have already become fan favorites online. The latter of those songs features contributions by Weezerfrontman Rivers Cuomo on guitar and backing vocals -- a full circle moment for Dom given Weezer's influence on him and his history of covering the band's "Say It Ain't So" as part of a medley with his own song "Westcoast Collective" on his first North American tour.

Next week Dom will launch his North American Don't Stare At The Sun tour. The tour marks his first live performances since his breakout set at this year's Coachella, where "his talent jumped out every time he took the mic" according to Rolling Stone. Over the course of the tour, Dom will perform at iconic venues like New York's Prospect Park, Los Angeles' Greek Theater, and Chicago's Huntington Bank Pavilion, making this his largest tour to date.

The album is available digitally as well as on standard CD and vinyl formats (the former with 12-panel folded insert poster and the latter with a 12-page insert booklet), an exclusive CD edition with 60-page photo book on glossy paper stock, as well as deluxe and color vinyl editions (the former of which is on black vinyl with a 24-page insert booklet and the latter of which comes on Florida orange vinyl with a 12-page insert booklet). Digital and CD formats are available for purchase now and vinyl is available for pre-order.

Dominic Fike’s new album, Sunburn is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Columbia Records and Sony Music Entertainment.

About Dominic Fike:

First discovered by the world through a collection of demos on Soundcloud recorded at home while on house arrest, Dominic Fike’s rise since has been the kind only seen once or twice per generation – praised by everyone from The Fader to The New Yorker as “the future of pop music” for his fusion of hip-hop and sun-damaged rock that spawned a #1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart and subsequent collaborations with the likes of Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber, Halsey, Omar Apollo, Kenny Beats and more. While he quickly built a devoted fanbase for his music – evidenced by his sold out debut North American Rain Or Shine tour in 2019 – Dom’s profile grew exponentially when he emerged as Elliot, a fan favorite in season 2 of HBO’s Euphoria. While it would have been easy for Dom to tap any number of super-producers and songwriters for his forthcoming sophomore album Sunburn, Dom decided to revisit his roots and return to his native Florida to pen a love letter to the complicated locale in which he was raised. Aided by drummer Henry Kwapis(Dijon), producers Devin Workman and Jim-E-Stack (Bon Iver, Caroline Polachek), Sunburn is comprised of 14 ruthlessly honest dispatches from about heartbreak and regret, addiction, sex, and jealousy. It’s the sound of someone who returned home to discover himself once more, who found the right words in small rooms – conjuring timeless spells to close this last chapter of his life and open the door to an even more searingly bright future. The album is perhaps best represented by its title track “Sunburn,” a mission statement about life in South Florida: being too broke for higher education, the tears of a mother terrified about losing it all, and the resolve of the narrator to never let that happen. As the refrain goes: “when I die, lay me in the sun.”

Listen to “Motor” Here: https://steveaoki.lnk.to/Motor

2x-Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist, producer, and DJ Steve Aoki has collaborated with Dutch powerhouse Quintino to release their second joint single “Motor.” Arriving just in time for the summer, the festival anthem is an infectious mix of Aoki’s signature electro sound and Quintino’s hard-hitting big room beats. 

“Motor” is the highly-anticipated follow-up to Aoki and Quintino’s main stage staple “Mayhem,” which appeared on Aoki’s 5OKI EP. Initially premiered by Billboard, the track became a fan favorite amongst fans and DJs, receiving spins from the likes of David Guetta and Afrojack. To date, “Mayhem” has accumulated over 75 million streams. 

Most recently, Aoki and Quintino have joined forces to remix one another’s work. Last year Quintino remixed Aoki’s HiROQUEST: GENESIS dance anthem “Save Me (ft. Harvey).” In February 2023, Aoki’s supergroup trio 3 Are Legend (Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike) provided an explosive remix of Quintino’s hard-hitting tune “Name Of Your DJ (ft. MC Ambush).”

This summer both artists are scheduled to hit the European festival and club circuit. Fans can catch both Aoki and Quintino performing individual sets at Tomorrowland, Airbeat One, Amnesia Ibiza, and many other stops.
