Matt Goss: Life You Imagine (new album)



 Published On December 31, 2014 | By Mason Williams | 


Matt Goss - the singer/songwriter released his fifth album this year entitled; Life You Imagine. Matt is one hot singer whom has for a while now lit up the Las Vegas lights on stage. His live performances with a big band are brought into Matt's current album where he stays true to his vocals and the lush sounds.

Lovely Las Vegas is a track that easily one could hear Harry Connick Jr. or Michael Buble record.
In the 1980s, Matt was part of a group called Bros. in which had a hit entitled When Will I Be Famous, where the singer revisits it and breaths new life into it with this time a big band feel. One of the singles off the album is Strong where Matt's vocals soar and sound amazing. The entire album flows very well from track to track with no true misses other than for me; Face My Fears which was a bit on the boring side.

The current album showcases Matt Goss as the ever talented showman and the creative singer/songwriter. It is very refreshing that Matt took a very creative direction within this album. He did not simply stick to the tried and true standards or a songbook rather wrote and re-imagined songs for someone like myself this was delightful. A great thing to note is that the gentleman that you hear via the album is also whom you get live on stage in Vegas. This is one entertainer that is truly worth seeing live and checking-out his current album.















Matthew Huff "Gave It All He Got" in 2014!



Matthew Huff - has had one incredible 2014 musically from releasing his 3rd album; "Give It All I Got" with the hit single; "A Little Bit of Crown." Additionally, this year had brought Matthew to release a lovely song dedicated to his state of Arkansas entitled; "This Is Our Home" which was co-written with fellow country artist Lance Carpenter. The song was written after the tragic tornado this year devastated his home state leaving a trail of destruction. What a lovely song of courage and strength!

Matthew has brought is talent on the road both nationally and globally where he has started his well received gigs via StageIt along with touring from all corners of the nation to the United Kingdom! That is right Matthew is getting tons of love across the pond! 

A big item for Matthew is receiving huge recognition at thus year's annual "International Music and Entertainment Awards" (IMEA Awards) for 2014.  In the genre of country Matthew won a total of 3 awards:
Song of the Year ( A Little Bit of Crown)
Album of the Year ( Give It All I Got)
Entertainer of the Year


Here is a message from Matthew:
"I wish you all a fantastic 2015.  Thank you for helping make 2014 a huge success for me, with the birth of an award winning album. ( Give It All I Got)  Thank you for making that possible.  I will be hitting the road again in January and looking to add shows in the Northeast and Southwest this upcoming year."

Chrsitmas Albums 2014!


Christmas Albums 2014 - this year we were gifted many various styles of holiday music. I am truly a big fan of this time of year and it's music though can not say just how tiring it can be when they all sound like one another. In a day and age where the Christmas season starts right at Halloween which is just too soon for me with radio stations playing 24/7 holiday tracks.

I like many others truly love this time of year. It is great to give onto others and enjoy the festive decorations and find the time to be with the one's you love. Music that can bring you back to your childhood and perhaps provide new memories to come. That being said 2014 was like any other year in the recording industry where recording artists released new holiday albums. Some as in all year's are bringing a fresh sound, new tracks which I adore then there are one's that seem to utilize the same method with jingling of bells and the same huge sound that another artist has done time and time again. In past year's artists that have in my book whom successfully recorded albums for the holiday season have been; Kelly Clarkson, Michael Bublé, Harry Connick Jr., Natalie Cole, Sarah Brightman, Dolly Parton/Kenny Rogers, Lorrie Morgan, Vanessa Williams, Jonny Blu, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne and others.

2014, brought us several albums whom each placed hopes that theirs will become a staple in one's household and strikes that perfect chord to one's ears. I am giving you my favorite's of 2014 that were released this year. There are MANY and these I found were truly beautifully done, unique, and simply stood out! There in my book are a must for holiday listening.

  1. Renee Fleming - Christmas In New York





2. Idina Menzel - Holiday Wishes


3. Darius Rucker - Home for the Holidays



4. Leann Rimes - One Christmas, Chapter One


5. Anthony Hamilton - Home For The Holidays



6. Michael W. Smith & Friends - The Spirit of Christmas


7. Pentatonix - That's Christmas to Me






"Uptown Funk" the Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars style!



Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars - there is a brand new single that is hitting the airwaves fast and gaining a lot of attention in such a short time. Singers Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars vocally collaborated on the hit; "Uptown Funk." This single was originally slated to be released on January 11th 2015 though due to a performance on the UK's X Factor's contestant Fleur East it heated up the airwaves fast.

Fleur's version of the song was performed recently on "The X Factor" where it quickly hit the UK Charts and made airwaves for a new hit. With this live performance getting so much buzz it had the record label and artists Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars push the release of the single by five weeks where it is as of December 8th released as a single. The track is part of the up-coming second album from Mark Ronson entitled; "Uptown Special" which is to be released in January.

The short time that the single from Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars is out has made it a chart topping hit surpassing Fleur's version and making this single; "Uptown Funk" a huge hit for 2015 and for the end of 2014! Both hit singers recently made a live appearance as the musical guests on Saturday Night Live (SNL) with Cameron Diaz as host. Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars hit the ground running with a dynamic and funky performance of the single. This single has already received from it's official music video online over 27 million views where if I was a betting man would think these two singers will be doing a 2015 global tour which I will be going to!
