Golden Globe Awards

The Golden Globes were last night and it was full of laughs. It was hosted by Ricky Gervais for the second year in a row. Ricky didn’t go over the top with his jokes and that was a gripe that his critics focused on. We’ll see going forward if he’ll be invited back to host next year.

Interview w/ Brian Angel of Day 26

How’s your been going day thus far?

good just got out the gym working out like a slave

Great to see that you value the importance of staying in shape. Can you tell us a bit about you guy’s upcoming album?

i can’t really speak to much about it but we do have a new single “MADE LOVE LATELY” OUT RIGHT NOW AND ON ITUNES.

Great song I might add. Will you guys be filming a music videos for either this track or any other potential single?

WE ACTUALLY FILMED IT 2 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS IT’S GONNA BE KRAZY!!!!!!!!!

I know you can’t speak much on the album but what’s the major difference between this album and your previous ones?

THIS WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE 90S

Taking R&B back to the good ole days? Did you have any favorite artists from those days who you drew inspiration from?

JODECI, BOYS 2 MEN, DRU HILL, GUY, THE LIST GOES ON,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So is it safe to say that Day26 is trying to revive the true R&B genre? Do you feel that the genre needs to be revived?

NO WE’RE JUST DO WHAT “WE” FEEL LIKE IS GOOD R&B THERES SO MUCH GOOD R&B OUT NOW

Day 26 started on one label and are now on a different label(Atlantic), how have you felt being a part of another label?

we love Atlantic records they welcomed us with open arms. We’re still Kool with Diddy to, and yes I started my own label Ambassador Way Entertainment (AWE)

You read my mind haha, How did you go about starting your label? Who we should look out for?

well I started it back in 2005 after I left Music World Music/ beyonce’ fathers label. I have any incredible roster but my first artist I’m releasing is @TheRealGRON he’s a hip hop artist from Houston, Tx

Almost done here! How much pressure is there on you guys for this new album?

not to show cocky but none we feel like we have amazing fams (fans) that support us in everything we do I anxious

What advice would you give to any artist Male or Female trying to make it? What do they need that these labels are looking for?

I would say Always keep god first anything is possible with him. I’d also say learn the business before trying to get in it. Educate yourself on what your about to embark on. Everything isn’t what it seems. Prepare your self mentally, physically and always come with 100% or don’t come at all

I appreciate the time that @MrAngel_day26 put forth for this Twitterview. I want to thank you for time, I understand that you’re busy working on something special with the guys. It was an honor to conduct this twiitterview with you

What will Elvis freshley bring to the table that you as an artist have not done already?

Great to hear! What inspires you to record a track?

You’ve released quite a few mixtapes which I encourage everyone to download. Do you have a personal favorite? if so why?

I’d have to say southern flame spitta vol 1 and drankenstein just because of the work I put in and the response they received

People’s Choice Awards Recap

In case you did not watch, last night was the People’s Choice Awards. Even though Rihanna was not at the award show,( she was across the street at the exciting Clippers/Heat game), she won the award for “Favorite R&B Artist”. The show hosted by Kaley Cuoco(The Big Bang Theory) saw big winners such as Katy Perry, Johnny Depp, and Emma Stone. The Harry Potter franchise took home four awards, which is only second to five taken home by Katy Perry. The big surprise, for me would be the fact that Chloe Moretz(Let Me In) beat out the four principle actors of the Harry Potter movie franchise for favorite actor under 25. She has a ton of potential and carries herself in ways many young females her age do not. Congratulations to all the winners and the remainder of the nominees.

Some of the winners from last night were:

Kim Kardashian-Favorite TV Celebreality Star

BridesMaids-Favorite Movie

2 Broke Girls-Favorite New TV Comedy

Demi Lovato-Favorite Pop Artist

Taylor Swift-Favorite Country Artist

Pretty Little Liars-Favorite Cable TV Drama

Check out more official winners from last night’s show.

Jay-z Releases Track Celebrating Fatherhood

Just 48 hours after becoming a father, Rap Mogul Jay-z released a track titled, Glory which is celebrating fatherhood and the birth of his daughter. This track is produced by the Neptunes. I doubt anyone was expecting a track from either parent so soon, but I must congratulate Jay-z for taking this step.
