Charice – “Pyramid” feat. Iyaz

If you haven’t heard about Charice, chances are you will in the next few months.  This pint-sized singer from the Philipines made a name for herself through YouTube (so common these days!) and made a particularly huge impact when she performed “Note To God” on Oprah in 2009.  That YouTube clip has over 2 million hits.  Check it out:

It gets pretty ridiculous around 2:15 in, then she just kills it at the end… Yeah.  Let’s see Miley Cyrus do that.

Anyhow, Charice’s new single is “Pyramid” featuring Iyaz.  It’s going to be a challenge for her to cross over from the big, huge broadway-esque songs like “Note To God” to more mainstream pop fare… But with her incredible range and agility, I wouldn’t be surprised if she pulled it off.  In fact, her new video for “Pyramid” already has almost 2.3 million hits and it was only posted a month ago.  Check it out here:

Simply Richard: Versus frontman plays rare solo gig

New York — I won’t say that I’m old, but really–I have slowed down a bit. For one thing, I rarely go out mid-week anymore for a gig, let alone for a reading and music showcase. And on any given evening in the dead of winter, the call of my comfy, warm bed has grown more enticing than any night-time jaunt.

But about two weeks ago, word filtered through the grapevine (aka, Facebook) that Richard Baluyut was playing a rare solo set.

Yes, THE Richard Baluyut, frontman of longtime indie rock legend Versus.
