Soblu Music Group is proud to introduce Urban Pop Artist, Chris, to the music industry. Chris, a native of Washington, D.C., embodies a unique sound which is showcased on her debut EP, “Spread the Love,” releasing today (11/11/11). A refreshing blend of genres ranging from Dance to R&B to Pop, Chris has crafted an introductory project that truly showcases her versatile sound. When asked about why she chose to release her debut EP on the significant date of 11.11.11, Chris states, “It’s an exciting date! There won’t be another 11/11 for another 100 years and so many weddings are happening 11/11, so love is in the air! This project is very important to me so I thought it was fitting, a picture perfect debut date.”

When you press play on “Spread the Love” you will be greeted by the percussion-infused up-tempo lead single from the EP, “Yea Ok.” The other records featured on the EP are titled “Swag Is Up”, “Ask Me”, “808”, “Put It On Me”, & “#LEZGO”. The slow R&B groove of “Ask Me” sets it up as a favorite for listeners and a clear indication of the capacity this young star has to experiment with a number of different genres. With this project, Chris is definitely striving to prove to people that the love is still paramount, it lives in the music and will continue to grow once you chose to spread it to others.

When asked who her favorite artist is or who she is most often compared to, Chris immediately states, “Aaliyah! She is one of my favorite performers and I have always loved the writing and production on her albums. She was able to make urban, percussive music that was still popular and could crossover. Another favorite of mine is Janet Jackson. She can do a song in any genre and it makes sense. That flexibility and freedom of artistry makes her really timeless in my eyes. I also like what I am hearing from a lot of the ladies at the top of the Pop game right now. Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Ke$ha, etc. I hear a lot of great music coming out and it is really inspiring.” With a list consisting of such talented women, Chris is destined to have success as she has open ears, an open mind and a strong desire to explore and experience a world filled of ever-changing music.

Q: Ari,I was interviewed for a local music mag and some of my words were distorted and weren’t completely accurate to what I expressed. What should I do? – F1

A: [Laughing] This isn’t that uncommon in entertainment journalism. One important fact to remember is 99.9% of all publications bothfree and paid subscriptions have a bottom line and that is the dollar sign.

Why you ask? The higher the readership publications have the more companies will want to advertise in them; bringing more revenue. Cha ching!!!

What attracts people/readers? Drama and excitement so if facts for a general interview aren’t exciting enough the editor or writer might take the liberty of “spicing” it up a bit. And it’s all legal as long as it’s kept as open speculation and not slandering someone’s character.

My advice’s, if you’re not happy with the article/write-up contact the writer and inquire why the edits were made, and they may have a worthy answer for you and of course you always have the option of contacting the editor as well.

But, take heed and think. Was the article actually harmful to you? If not and you’re just not happy because your words weren’t posted verbatim, I would just let it slide and appreciate the free exposure. They could have easily scrapped the entire piece.

You don’t want to start burning unnecessary bridges over minor details.

Good Luck!
