Kailee Spark’s Single “Sparkle & Shine” is a Folk Pop Treasure, Out on Spotify and YouTube

Spark’s newest single and music video, ‘Sparkle & Shine’, was released on June 4th—and believe us and we tell you it is a folk pop treasure! If you don’t know who Kailee Spark is, the singer-songwriter was raised Mormon in the Bay Area and left the church at the age of 22 and moved to Big Island Hawaii! Before pursuing her music career, she studied cultural anthropology at Humboldt State University. Now Spark is skyrocketing with her new career in music. Listen to her on Spotify here. Spark speaks about the single:

 “Writing ‘Sparkle & Shine’ was a lot of fun. I stopped at the studio one day to have a production meeting with Bub and showed him like four lines of a song I was working on that at the time was called ‘Bright & Shiny’. The idea of the song was that sometimes I’m feeling like I’m in the flow of life, and sometimes I’m not, but either way it’s cool and I’ll just keep doing my thing. Later that same night he sent me a recording of practically an entire song he had written based on the little information I’d given him! We went back and forth creating the verses and fine-tuning the hook, and recorded the song maybe a week after we wrote it. That was a fun and quick co-write!”

The enchanting single is accompanied by a video including the songstress frolicing through the Hawaiian style Cliffside.  After a sunrise songwriting session on a cliff overlooking the vast Pacific, and a ceremonial toss of her mobile phone into the open waves, she finds that her jeep won’t start. Spark grabs her guitar and meanders down the rural jungle road, intending to hitchhike back into town. A sweet couple in a truck pick her up, and as she rides in the back, an adventure ensues with a crazy cast of characters and riveting imagery

Pop Artist EM Sounds Very Lana Del Rey in New Song Say What You Mean

The new single from pop singer/songwriter EM, “Say What You Mean,” is out now! You can definitely hear the Lana Del Rey influence throughout this romantic tune. “Say What You Mean” is a soulful pop song that goes straight to the heart and soul of relationships. Listen on Spotify here.

Em’s video for “Say What You Mean” is also representative of Lana Del Rey in regards to her storytelling. It portrays the Divine Feminine in a cinematic style – women of today but through a 50’s and 60’s lens. She shot this sensually and supernaturally mesmerizing video with director Parris Mayhew. Watch it on YouTube here.

Em says this song represents the “ethereal, emotional side of her writing.” She thinks of herself as a huge hopeless romantic and just wants someone to love her with every fiber of their being. “Say What You Mean” sees Em sending an ultimatum to her partner, by talking about honesty and the essential role it plays for the success of a relationship in the long run. Listen to “Say What You Mean” on Apple Music here.

The chorus of “A New Way of Love” has a sweet ear-bending harmonic surprise

kissed to life by backup singers Medina Johnson and Patrice “KP” Isley while the

rhythm track gives those mature enough to remember a masterful Barry White

vibration.

Take some supremely pocketed digi-beats, bass and ambient guitar, wed them to

some delicious la-la female backing vocal garnish – all at the service of a soulfully

swaggering lead vocal – and you’ve got, “A New Way of Love.”

 

The only things this 4-minute single edit lack are a mid-song breakdown, a sexy

spoken mack laid on thick over the top and a guitar solo from master-picker Hall

Rubberband).”Come on, brother. Why you holdin’ out on us?”

 

Maybe he just wants to leave us wanting more. Mission: Accomplished.

Make Money From Your Music Videos on Social Media Sites Like Instagram But You Need an ISRC Number!

Did you know that you can get paid for your music or lyric videos that you post on Instagram? But only if you have an ISRC number embedded into the master file. An ISRC number tracks your playable streams turning your quality work into revenue or in other words, royalties. If you use Instagram to promote your music then you definitely don’t want to miss out on this!

Music and lyric videos in the past were considered for promotional use only. This has evolved along with the collection of royalties. You can now collect additional royalties from music videos, and lyric videos on streaming platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. The only requirement is to have an embedded ISRC code in those videos. ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is an essential part of your master file in order for you to collect royalties. The ISRC number is tracked online and is reported to your distributor and those distributors would send out royalties accordingly. For more information, check with your distributors and PROs (Performing Rights Organization). You can also learn more info on YouTube 

To add an ISRC Code to your master audio and music video files, you must get one from an RIAA  licensed vendor. Web ‘n Retail is licensed to do so. In addition, Web n’ Retail is a music marketing agency and has helped musicians with marketing campaigns for over 25 years.

Country Pop Artist Eileen Carey Welcomes October with San Diego Show

On October 10th, country pop fans of artists such as Keith Urban and Leann Rimes will have the opportunity to experience Eileen Carey live. She is a renowned vocalist who will be performing at the House of Blues in San Diego as part of the RAW Artist Showcase, beginning at 6:00pm, displaying all of her power and flair. Music Connection Magazine’s review of her previous show at the Whisky A Go Go said of Carey’s performance:

“The crowd was hooked from the moment “Hearts of Time” kicked off the night. Carey’s sassy, yet humble, stage demeanor gave off Gretchen Wilson meets Miranda Lambert vibes. [The crowd] engaged in hand clapping, line dancing and singing along … She’s not afraid to voice her thoughts and opinions. [The performance was] a perfect blend of upbeat and lower-tempo tracks showcasing her experience and versatility with ease, so much so that it came as a shock when her set was about to end.”

You really should capitalize on this opportunity to see the woman Elmore Magazine dubbed “a true musical chameleon who blends pop and rock and country influences with ease,” in person. Her unbeatable energy and charisma is uniquely refreshing, and all those in attendance of the showcase will bear witness to these traits. Her music resonates with all audiences with its engaging lyrics and captivating instrumental accompaniment.

For those not around the San Diego area next week, you can still experience Eileen Carey’s excellence. She recently released the official music video to her hit track “That Town.” The video illuminates the common struggle so many of us experience of trying to decide whether to leave the safety of our hometowns for the opportunities of the real-world, or to remain in our comfort zones. The music video carries a light mood with kids in Los Angeles embracing their bravery and entering the world outside of home.

To watch the “That Town” official video, check it out on YouTube. Other ways you can explore the talents of Eileen Carey are via Spotify. Also, to stay updated on all things Eileen Carey, visit her website and follow her Facebook and Instagram.

How Does An Indie Artist Achieve Success In The World Of Digital Music Marketing?

In this era of digital music marketing, there are several pros and cons to achieving success as an indie artist. With a multitude of social media outlets offering users the opportunity to stream, download and listen to over millions of songs at the click of the button, an artist can’t afford to ignore the power of social media. Not only that, but with such an easy access, it is really hard for any artist to stand out and even make a successful career. Though digital music marketing may seem like a costly process, a well thought out online marketing campaign not only can boost your audience but also save you time and money along the way.

 

Online music promotion is more than just having a talent and a product. There could be thousands, even millions of people waiting to hear music just like yours, and you’ll never know without an effective marketing campaign. This is where Web ‘n Retail comes in. Web ‘n Retail, a division of Rock ‘n Retail, has managed campaigns for over 250 artists on major and independent labels as well as other non- music related projects. Online music promotion plays such a crucial role in the development of an artist’s fan base and, overall, career. As a result of a successful campaign, an artist will not only increase their following, but also their revenue.

But, let’s face it. There are only so many hours in the day and you can’t be the best at everything you try to master. So if you are looking for an alternative to doing it yourself, check our www.MusicMarketingByWebNRetail.com and Facebook here: http://bit.ly/WnR-Facebook.Both logos together
