It only happens once so don’t let it go

Framing the idea of ​​an everyday event that could become the inspiration for a song, and then remembering that idea, is the muse behind this song.

It only comes once, so don’t let it go, oh no”

—Joe Vaughn

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA, January 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The latest release from the 70s rock band The Gringos, It only happens once, examines how a song idea can come from anywhere. The idea for this very song was born from the snippets of notes and ideas that lead singer Joe Vaughn keeps.

It’s hard to tag this song with a specific musical style or genre, but It Only Comes Once is lighthearted and the melody is catchy, with a bounce that gives off a positive vibe. It’s one of those melodies that will stick in your head for a while and make you think about the things around you that could eventually be turned into a poem, a painting, a photograph, or even a song.

Music and lyrics by guitarist and lead vocalist Joe Vaughn and arranged and recorded by Jim Miller, It Only Comes Once is released by the band’s record and publishing companies, Leer Records and Pack O’ Weddels Publishing, respectively.

On:
The idea for The Gringos was the success of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Jim Miller thought it would be cool if the band he was playing in could do a GRT song for the next high school talent show. The leader of this band jokingly said “What will you call the band, The Gringos?” And the rest as they say… was just the beginning.

The band became a powerful hard rock horn band and established themselves in the New England area in the early 70s. In 1975 they produced their own independent album and released it on their own label Leer Records, the same label they record on today.

In 1978, the Gringos were signed to the UA (United Artist) label and their production was overseen by Snuff Garrett and a young songwriter/producer, Steven Dorf.

After learning that the UA label had been sold when the albums were released, instead of airplay, the album was sent straight to the “cut up” bin of record stores. The Gringos had to handle the case alone.

In January 1980, after nearly 10 years of playing together as a band, the band decided it was time to move away from the industry for good, with half of the members remaining in the New England area and the other half returning to Arizona.

In 2015, Select Artists Associates CEO and former manager Charles T. Johnston brought all the band members together for a 4-day reunion in Scottsdale. During this time, the band held many meetings and decided that an effort was needed to get the band back together.

In 2016, the band reunited on Cape Cod for three weeks of rehearsals in preparation for two live performances. But moments before the band was due to perform live for a streaming concert, one of the members fell ill and the band had to go on without him. This emotional loss ended the group’s comeback attempt and all but crushed any momentum that had begun.

However, with the onset of the pandemic and everyone locked down, the group began to meet daily. First via conference calls, then via Zoom internet video. During these meetings, the band hatched a plan that would allow them to begin recording the many songs that had been undeveloped and unfinished from their vast catalog of music. The music heard today was one of the songs from years ago and the emotions still flow from the remaining six original members.

Jim Miller – trumpet, vocals, arranger and producer/sound engineer
Tyler Newcomb – trumpet, vocals, arranger, songwriter
Joe Vaughn – Lead Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Songwriter
Alan Harkrader – lead vocals rhythm guitar, keyboards, bass pedals, songwriter
Clyde Score – Drums, percussion, vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, songwriter

Chile’s President-Elect Boric Sends Taylor Swift ‘Hugs’ For Songwriting, Goes Viral https://elton-john.net/chiles-president-elect-boric-sends-taylor-swift-hugs-for-songwriting-goes-viral/ Tue, 25 Jan 2022 18:11:00 +0000 https://elton-john.net/chiles-president-elect-boric-sends-taylor-swift-hugs-for-songwriting-goes-viral/ SANTIAGO, Jan 25 (Reuters) – Chile’s millennial president-elect Gabriel Boric has taken sides in his first international incident: supporting pop music superstar Taylor Swift in a social media showdown with Blur frontman , Damon Albarn, on his songwriting credentials.

SANTIAGO, Jan 25 (Reuters) – Chile’s millennial president-elect Gabriel Boric has taken sides in his first international incident: supporting pop music superstar Taylor Swift in a social media showdown with Blur frontman , Damon Albarn, on his songwriting credentials.

Albarn, the British co-founder and songwriter of Gorillaz, had suggested that Swift didn’t write all of her own songs in a media interview, prompting an angry reaction from the American singer. Albarn later apologized.

Boric, 35, threw his support behind Swift in a tweet that quickly went viral in his country, reflecting how the former student protest leader is shaking up politics in Chile, the traditionally closest South American nation. .

“Here in Chile you have a huge group of supporters who know that you write your own songs from the heart,” Boric, a self-proclaimed Swift fan, told his 1.4 million Twitter followers. The tweet had 66,000 likes.

“Southern hugs Taylor,” said Boric, who will become Chile’s youngest democratically elected president when he takes office in March.

Swift had herself fired back at Albarn on Twitter.

“I was such a fan of yours until I saw this. I write ALL my own songs. Your mentality is completely wrong and SO damaging,” the 32-year-old singer wrote.

Albarn, 53, made his own mea culpa.

“I totally agree with you. I had a conversation about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait. I unreservedly and unconditionally apologize. Last thing I want to do is discredit your songwriting,” he said.

Boric’s team did not respond to a request for comment.

The singer said it has also been “a real joy to write” new songs for the boy band as they prepare to reunite for the first time since their split in 2013.

Ed Sheeran lends songwriting skills to boy band X Factor ahead of their comeback

Their reunion plans have been put on hold due to the pandemic, but it looks like the big JLS reunion may be worth the wait as the quartet enlists the help of songwriting maestro Ed Sheeran before their return.

The boyband, who finished runner-up to Alexandra Burke on The X Factor in 2008, had announced that they had reunited in February 2020, with their Beat Again Tour scheduled for November 2020 before the coronavirus pushed it back to October 2021 .

The quartet used the lockdown to brew new music for the first time since their split in 2013, with songwriter Ed helping the boys.

Speaking on the Capital Evening Show, the Shape of You frontman said, “I actually wrote a song for them, with Steve Mac doing Beat Again and stuff.

“It’s classic JLS and it was a real, real joy to write.”







The songwriter wrote a song for boyband ahead of their return



Having written hits for One Direction and Justin Bieber in the past, the 30-year-old songwriter is sure to ensure that the X Factor’s new music dominates the charts again.





JLS announced their breakup and farewell tour in May 2013, after seven years together topping the UK charts.

The group, made up of Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes and JB Gill, first rose to prominence by appearing in the fifth series of the ITV reality show in 2008, narrowly missing out on victory over Alexandra Burke.

Signing with Epic Records soon after, their first two singles, Beat Again and Everybody in Love, both peaked the charts and went straight to number one.







The boyband was a huge hit after appearing on the X Factor



The London-born boyband won several awards throughout their life together and at the height of their fame they were reported to be the 16th richest reality TV stars in the UK, with an estimated fortune to £ 6 million per member. .

JLS last performed together on stage at their last concert of their Goodbye Tour at the O2 Arena in London on December 22, 2013

In February 2020, fans were elated when the four-piece group announced their reunion plans on social media.

Drawing on their official Twitter account seven years after their split, JLS shared their comeback video, captioned: “IT’S THE TIME !! Our #BeatAgainTour is coming in November / December. We can’t wait to all be. reunited with you! ”

Each member appears in the short clip, as they discuss their plans to reunite on a group phone call before revealing the dates and locations of their upcoming concerts – while their hit song Beat Again plays.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, their return plans have been halted, but their tour is now expected to continue later this year.

Iggy Azalea encourages his fans to try their hand at songwriting … after saying “no one on this whole planet understands me and it’s lonely”










Iggy Azalea encouraged his fans to try their hand at songwriting.

The 30-year-old rap star took to social media to urge his followers to pursue their hopes and dreams – and not let their insecurities get in the way.

Hitmaker Fancy – who was born in Australia but moved to the United States as a teenager to pursue her musical ambitions – wrote on Twitter: “Anyone who is considering getting into songwriting or producing songs etc. this! F *** the one that makes it stupid, because there is always SOMEBODY and it will continue even in your success.

“Go ahead and give it a try, why not? “

It comes after the pop star said she felt “lonely” at times.

The chart-topping rap star took to Twitter to reveal she felt misunderstood and admitted she felt isolated amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Iggy – who announced the arrival of her son, Onyx Kelly, in June last year – wrote on the microblogging platform: “It’s so melodramatic but sometimes I really feel like no one on this planet doesn’t understand me and it’s lonely as f ***. ‘

Iggy also alluded to his loneliness before that.

The rap star – who had previously dated Playboi Carti, the father of her son, and basketball player Nick Young – wrote on Twitter: “Lovers become strangers and I hate it for all of us.”

In contrast, Iggy insisted earlier this month that she felt “100 times happier” than last year.

The rapper – who was born in Australia but now lives in the United States – has also confirmed that she is enjoying her life as a single woman.

She wrote: “1 year later and 100 times happier, I like it for me.”

The singer then insisted that she wasn’t desperate to find a new boyfriend anytime soon, revealing that other things were high on her priority list.

She wrote on Twitter: “I have a list of things I need to get and a man just didn’t make the final cut.”

It comes after she said she felt “embarrassed” to read to her son.

The star revealed that it took a little while for her to cope with the challenges of motherhood, admitting that she initially felt embarrassed by some of her parenting obligations.

The cover girl wrote on Twitter: “It sounds silly but when I first had my son I felt embarrassed reading books out loud and putting on silly voices etc. but now i get into it so much and i don’t care.

Twinnie-Lee Moore may be spending a lot of time in the US right now as the singer-songwriter and country actress prepares for the release of her debut album, but it looks like she’s enjoying going back to her Yorkshire roots as often as she can.

When we speak, the 32-year-old – known professionally simply as Twinnie – is in her “hometown” of York, where she’s doing a radio show and performing a benefit concert for Help The Heroes. It is also an opportunity to visit family members.

“My family is everything,” she says. “Living in London, I try to come back as much as possible, once every three weeks if I’m not in America. “

Three years after signing a development contract with major BMG, she is “super excited” to finally release an album, Hollywood Gypsy. “This is my first album, this is an album that I will never find again, the experience has been incredible”, she enthuses, adding that she is eager for people to listen to the record in its entirety. after an EP and a succession of singles for the radio. “I’m excited but nervous at the same time,” she recalls. “But I think it’s normal.”

She is fully grateful for the broadcast of songs such as Better When I’m Drunk and Social Babies on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Introducing. “Radio 2 has been so amazing for me supporting me. Even back in the days when I didn’t have a manager or a label behind me, I went to BBC Introducing. [My music has] has been playlisted nationally and regionally, it gives you a boost, especially as a new artist. It gives you a pat on the back if people like it, it’s a step forward, and that’s all I’m trying to do, move on, so that’s good.

Twinnie’s intention with Hollywood Gypsy was to “tell my story and my journey.” “The title song [is about how] I grew up with Hollywood musicals and the gypsy is part of my heritage. I think to me, on a deeper level, Hollywood and the Gypsies sort of represent my parents. They broke up when I was young and I think I kind of reflected that in my adult life by going back and forth to Nashville. [to perform and record]. I have a whole life there.

There was also a career as a performer, which began as a child dancing pantomimes at the York Grand Opera House and led through acting school in Blackpool to roles in the West End in We Will Rock You and Flashdance. , as well as appearances in films and the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. “I did a lot of things and everything helped me get this body of work,” she says. “[Hollywood Gypsy] That sums me up, I think. It’s like a third chapter for Twinnie and what I’m talking about and what the sound is about.

Twin

“It’s weird looking at it objectively when you’re the person who wrote it. Do you enjoy your music the way others enjoy it? I break up all the time – literally in my songs too. I have no problem saying all my faults. I just wanted it to be honest. All the songwriters and artists I grew up with, the people I respected and connected with, were genuine. And with this record, I just wanted to be real. There are a lot of BS in the world and I just wanted people to listen to her and be like, “I actually know exactly what she is, despite all her complexes and insecurities.”

Better When I’m Drunk is a song that “a lot of people have bonded with,” she says. “And Type of Girl is supposed to show all the different sides of my personality. In the video, I wanted to show all the different women, past and present, that inspire me, so it’s a pretty good introduction, I’m all of these. characters.

“The fans have been lovely. Last year was a building year for me, I did a lot of supporting shows [including for Kiefer Sutherland], and people texted me and said, “This song really means a lot to me, you helped me so much”. On social media, I get all kinds of messages. I make music just because I have to, I’ve always done it – and songwriting is a lot cheaper than therapy – but I don’t really think of anyone else when I do it, I just tell stories. It’s like a snapshot of what happened this week or situations or dramas that I found myself in, and then when you get messages like that, it’s humbling because I feel very human, and each of us is the same – we all want love, we go through the same issues. It doesn’t matter how old you love someone, from four to 80, that never changes, so it’s good when you get that back.

Twinnie remembers her first attempt at writing was when she was four years old. “I showed my mother a poem and she couldn’t believe I wrote it. My mom kept it in my home album along with all the TV and plays and things I was in. It started with poems and then I walked around doing songs. I’m basically a huge attention seeker.

Country singers like Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson were “big influences” when she grew up, but she says, “I don’t really believe in genres. I wrote in this story so 10 years before [country music’s modern resurgence in the UK]. Someone said to me, ‘You have to go to Nashville because you would love to write there,’ and obviously my voice had that kind of influence too. I can only relate to this – and I think that’s why I connected to Nashville so much – because it reminds me of the people of my hometown. Everyone says how it is, they are very honest, and Nashville is kind of the same. They are much hotter in the [American] In the south, there is a lot of community, and I grew up like that from a young age.

“I grew up with musicals and they tell a story, whether it’s through theater, dance, song or all three, and my writing is very concept-oriented. It will arise from a situation in which I have been; I can visualize it and then write it down, it’s all about the story.

She also says to have listened to “a lot of rap”, in particular 2Pac. “If you listen to Type of Girl, in the cadences, the way it’s written, it’s very nervous sometimes. I think being a dancer has helped a lot of these songs. It’s two worlds colliding, just mixed and matched. I don’t like to be put in a box.

Twinnie’s acting career continues – she reveals that she just “did something for Netflix” – but she says music “has always been my main focus.” “[In the past] I would do eight gigs a week in the West End, then go to a gig in a pub where there were about six people but it was a chance to play. There was constant juggling. It’s nice to have this opportunity to be in the spotlight now.

Recording part of the album in Nashville was a special experience. “Everything was magic. Most of the people I have recorded with are my dearest friends. I really feel like Nashville is a home from home. I have plenty of rooms [to stay in] there – to a point where the problem is I can’t find any of my clothes – but I have good friends who are like my family. I am a domestic bird so I love going there because they make me feel so welcome, I have never felt like an outsider in this community. You could very easily feel, ‘I’m British and I do this, what if they don’t accept me? But they’ve been so supportive. I’m going back and forth to Nashville right now because my American label takes me to country radio, so it’s amazing to represent my country.

Hollywood Gypsy releases April 17. Twinnie performs at Crescent, York on March 22 and supports Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra at Scarborough Spa on May 21. twinnieofficial.com

At just 7 years old, Blue Ivy Carter is an award-winning songwriter, just like her parents before her. Carter, the daughter of iconic pop singer Beyonce and legendary rapper Jay-Z, won the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter’s Award at the 2019 Soul Train Music Awards on Sunday for co-writing her mother’s song, “Brown Skin Girl.”

“Brown Skin Girl” is a hit single from Beyonce’s soundtrack album “The Lion King: The Gift”, which she produced for the remake of Disney’s 2019 movie “The Lion King” in which she also played. The album not only features Beyonce and Carter, it also features many top performers including Jay-Z, rapper Childish Gambino, rapper Kendrick Lamar and many African artists including Ghanaian rapper Shatta Wale and the Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage, among others.

“The Lion King: The Gift” was received very favorably by critics, more so than the film for which it was made. Carl Wilson from Slate Magazine said of the album: “This album is better than mountains, valleys, rivers and savannahs than the movie” and that “it works better if you forget the remake even exists”. The soundtrack was also recently nominated for “Best Pop Vocal Album” at the 2020 Grammy Awards. Beyonce’s “Spirit”, another hit single from the album, received two Grammy nominations for “Best Pop Solo Performance. And “Best Song Written for Visual Media”.

“Brown Skin Girl” celebrates dark and brown-skinned women everywhere; and Carter not only co-wrote the song, she also sang in it with her mother Beyonce, Guyanese singer SAINt JHN and Nigerian singer Wizkid. “Brown Skin Girl” is also Carter’s first songwriting credit and to her credit the song received critical acclaim and even launched the #BrownSkinGirlChallenge on social media, where brunette women and brunettes were posting selfies of themselves embracing the beauty of their skin. Amanda Mitchell from Oprah magazine praised the song for being “shameless and fearless black”. Actress Lupita Nyong’o, who is mentioned in the song, posted an Instagram video of herself dancing to “Brown Skin Girl” with the caption: “Brown Skin Girl. Thank you @Beyonce for that. gift !!”
