Ashley Brinton talks her new single ‘Trouble,’ shares acoustic version

Pop musician, Ashley Brinton, has released her acoustic version of “Trouble,” with the original version released three months ago charting at 41 on Billboard’s Dance charts. Releasing on June 26, Brinton wants her fans to see a simpler side of her music with the acoustic version. “Trouble” was co-written and produced by Grammy Award winning producer Cory Rooney who has worked with Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, among many others. “Trouble” has accumulated nearly half a million views on YouTube since it premiered on Nick Music’s Fresh Faces, which is Nickelodeon’s Pop Music TV Channel.

We chatted with Ashley about her single “Trouble,” how her life has been different since releasing the popular single, working with Cory Rooney, and what’s next.

Why did you decide to release an acoustic version of “Trouble”?

Ashley Brinton: I think it’s important for my fans to see all sides of my music. It’s important for them to see me sing live. The acoustic has a chill vibe with all the candles and dark moody atmosphere. I adore candles and they help put me in a mood so I can write and perform. I wanted to showcase that.

Since it’s been a few months since you released your dance version of “Trouble,” how has your life changed since then?

Ashley: My life is crazy amazing. The dance version hit the Billboard charts a few weeks ago and is continuing to move up the chart. It’s a dream come true. I have to pinch myself because sometimes I don’t even believe it.

What were some of the artistic difference between the music video for the acoustic version and dance version of “Trouble”?

Ashley: The acoustic version is chill,dark and moody. Sung from the heart with lots of passion and emotion.

The dance version is upbeat, sassy and edgy. I wanted everyone to be having a great time dancing to it but in a sassy way. It has a lot of meaning since I feel every one has had a relationship that is just trouble. So you  just need to scream out to that person.

Watch the video for the acoustic version of “Trouble:”  

What was your experience like writing and recording with Cory Rooney?

 Ashley: Cory is the best. I have been working with him for four years. I have learned so much in all aspects of the music industry. He has seen me grow from a little girl to the person I am now. We have taken the musical journey together growing my music from that younger girlie pop to my current sound.

What else is coming up with you and your music?

Ashley: I have a performance at YouTube headquarters on August 24th where I will preview my live show. I am working on it now and it’s going to be great.

I am also going to be dropping a new single soon with a little different sound. I love experimenting and growing as an artist. I love to try new things. Stay tuned!

Leo James Conroy releases new single ‘White Noise,’ ahead of debut EP

Announced on Friday by Alternative Fidelity, the first single, “White Noise,” from Leo James Conroy‘s debut EP due out later this year, has released. BBC heralded Conroy’s performance as “eye-watering brilliance,” with the single showcasing his powerhouse vocals, unique arrangements and revered musicianship.

Listen to “White Noise” here.

Cover art for “White Noise”

Conroy’s latest release is the result of a harrowing year and an indefatigable spirit, and was recorded during a series of brief respites from repeated hospitalizations and surgeries brought on by chronic kidney failure. Equally driven by spontaneous, ecstatic performances and deliberate, precise craftsmanship, “White Noise” is an intoxicating blend of bluesy soul and jazz-tinged folk

Notable contributors to the record include drummer Russ Lawton (Trey Anastasio Band, Phish), background vocalist Sharlotte Gibson (Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder), and mastering engineer Barry Grint (Rolling Stones, Oasis, Radiohead, David Bowie, The Beatles). The song was produced by Lyell Evans Roeder and recorded in his studio in Los Angeles with additional recording in Vermont and Washington D.C.

OBB

OBB chats new EP, growing up in Atlanta, and what’s next

Atlanta based pop band, OBB, will release their new EP, Is This A Thing, on July 6. The trio are made up of brothers who all share a passion for singing and songwriting. Their music has reached Spotify’s USA Viral 50, New Music Friday and Young & Free, in addition to eight million streams, and many other achievements. Their new EP features their hit single “Sweater,” among their EP title and others. OBB chatted with us about Atlanta influencing their music, why they waited seven years to release new music, how they get along as trio.

You guys are gearing up for your new EP, “Is This A Thing,” out on July 6. What’s the anticipation feeling like?

OBB: There’s a Lot of different feelings. Nervous, but definitely more excited.  Cant wait for people to hear what we’ve been working on.

How did growing up in Atlanta influence you guys’ love of playing and performing music?

OBB: Atlanta’s a great city for music. It really helped us with opportunities to play in front of people. The music community is very encouraging here in Atlanta. There are lots of ways to get involved.

This is your newest release in nearly seven years; was that intentional? 

OBB: I would say it’s 50/50. We were very young when we started the band, and have really taken time to know what our style is and mature as musicians and as song writers. We feel like we are ready now at this point to show who we are.

You have released a few singles that are widely popular, including “Mona Lisa” and “Sweater.” Did you all intend to release a slew of singles leading up to “Is This A Thing”? 

OBB: Yes, the plan is to release a single at a time and luckily we have had great reactions so far.

How does being siblings help you guys create and write music?

OBB: Being siblings we have very similar likes and dislikes which is very beneficial to the writing.  When we are writing a song we can say “remember when this happened and you…” and we all will laugh or sigh, but we know what we are wanting to get out. Of course we have our differences and our fair share of arguments. For the most part we find a common ground and I can’t think of doing this with anyone else. When we perform on stage this crazy brother thing happens and we can literally share a look and all just know. It just works.

What’s next for you all?

OBB: We have a tour this fall with all new music. And we will be releasing more music in the upcoming months.
