"BLACK VELVET"
Rising Country artist Emily Miller has released a music video for her cover of the 1989 Alannah Myles hit “Black Velvet.” The video was filmed at Stormlight Picture Studio in Nashville with director Logan Christopher. Guitar and vocals were provided by Nick Champeau. The video with the well known sultry tune is available to watch now on her official artist YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/HaTGqHmEsWE
Emily often was told the the song “Black Velvet” would sound great in her voice, but she wasn’t familiar with the song. One day a friend asked her to learn the song for him and she ended up falling in love with it. After finding out the song was about Elvis Presley, it allowed her to connect with the song on another level and bring out a different side of her performance and vocals. Now she never turns down an opportunity to sing it. With the music video, it was Emily’s goal to have an 80s feel, from the outfit to the set background, and she believes they did just that. “It was great working with Logan and the entire team at Stormlight Pictures again,” exclaimed Emily Miller. “We first worked together in the making of my first music video for ‘Take the Trash Out’ and I love seeing his creative visions come to life each time. I trust his visions and just let him do his thing much like he has always let me do mine,” she added.

Yona Marie’s new single “I'm Still Loyal” is a dedication to those who have provided their friends, family members, or romantic partners with unyielding love and loyalty over time. Yona has created an anthem that anyone that has given or received authentic love will be able to relate to and remind themselves of how much a blessing having a loyal person in your corner can be. The simplistic writing and production with early 2010 hip-hop vibes feed into the feeling of love and loyalty between souls that have been connected over the last several years.
Yona did sporadic work for producers and artists as far back as 2009. She officially started her session singing (studio singing) work-for-hire gigs in 2018. This exciting career journey brought her many new relationships, connections, and creative projects that sometimes were out of her scope of knowledge. She found herself engaging in research in the world of singing, writing, promoting, music business, and artist development topics.
To her surprise, a lot of sites she found through google were giving her thin, outdated, or sometimes plain wrong information. With extra effort and other resources like video and book content, she was able to find mostly all the answers to her questions. However, she couldn't believe there was so much helpful content that the music niche was lacking. Yona had experience with content writing for several brands in the past, so she decided she wanted to take her skills and create a new brand for herself. With her website, she would create hundreds of blogs that give free informational content to musicians like her who need facts, advice, and ideas that would help further their efforts in their musical journey. Yona wanted to take it a step further and allow current and potential song clients to be able to reach her easily here. She does most of her studio work through freelance sites, but creating a space for her clients to build and collaborate specifically to the project needs has been very beneficial. Last but not least, Yona wanted people who enjoy her personal music releases to be able to connect with her easily find all of the songs that she's written and published as Yona Marie and as Rachel Marie. In addition to song releases, she will be sharing a podcast, interviews, photos, music videos, and merchandise all here at Yona Marie Music.

Or Golan has been stuttering since the age of 3 as well as diagnosed with FMF a form of arthritis that causes pain from prolonged exertion. He has always loved creating things from scratch. As a writer ,Or has written four books in Hebrew: "The Girl with the Purple Hair", "Three Minutes of Fame", "Twice an Inverted Coffee" and "Bird Lake". He struggled with love and support. Using that feeling, he channels into it, and little by little develops to be successful. From an anonymous artist to an artist with a resume of almost 200 melodies known all over the world... this is his story.
After his military service, from which he also left because he had undergone mental traumas, to this day the need to create something from scratch, from nothing, in space, burns in Or Golan. For a long time, he thought about what to do and one fine day the idea came up to create music. Or Golan still did not know how to create music. He does everything from listening to the melodies he had in his mind. Music came to him like magic from God and the problem was how to market himself to the big world. He knew that in Israel, they would not accept him and his music, Or Golan is a very spiritual person, he feels things before they happen. So Or Golan learned every day all day how to market himself (something he never knew in life) and as a stutterer, it was impossible, but as fate would have it, God decides that now is his time. Through tribulations he did not give up. The melodies flowed like a river, the dam was breached, and luck lit up. In 2021 the first album is released to the world. Or Golan knew that the music he was supposed to create was electronic. Inspired and motivated, Or Golan released three full albums: Superstar Baby, Dance of Love and Dahabha Everything went smoothly without stopping. After that, two more full albums came out and Or Golan's direction for success was clear as the sun shines every morning. On the business and marketing side, Or Golan arranged an article for himself in the local newspaper and built a community on his old Instagram for people from all over the world who heard his songs. With time my songs grew in people's hearts. Two months have passed and Or Golan is releasing singles every day a new song and sometimes two songs a day to take advantage of the momentum he had. So far life has seemed to have all the stars arranged in the right order and Or Golan has released with perfect timing the two singles that will bring him his great success called I Am Greedy and Open Minded. The marketing trick in "I am Greedy" was to put all his energy into this song because Or Golan knew he had a winning card, he had a feeling it was his song that would break his name around the world. Some of the people already knew Or Golan, but now that he has the winning card, he can fly to heaven. Each song has two rights, one on the melody and the other on the whole song. These rights are worth gold in Golan's opinion. Or Golan revealed that now that he has more than a hundred songs on his resume, it is time to join an association that will protect his rights and give him royalties like everyone else. Or signed with the monopoly ACUM in Israel. ACUM is like ASCAP and BMI is just simple in Israel. We are in September and the deal was signed with Or Golan on the upper hand and he decides whether to give his rights and how. Time passes, Or Golan has close to 200 songs, a great success, the old songs are doing well and traveling the world thanks to the song "I am Greedy" and "An Open Mind". Or Golan knows that timing is everything in life, so it's a good time to get off the gas and let the waves of success continue until he does everything from scratch. Golan was much more involved during this period in radio broadcasts on music stations around the world. A total of 70 countries (according to SOUNDROP reports) has sold a little over 205,000 copies of his songs. Awesome achievement for a newcomer. Let There Be War
