New music: Matt Goss “I Do”
|
| Las Vegas headliner Matt Goss to have two music releases in 2014 |
Matt Goss became a household name internationally from his days in the smash pop band, Bros. For the last five years, he’s headlined his own Caesars Palace residency. Now, the Virgin Records artist is on the verge of making his name known stateside.
Las Vegas headliner Matt Goss is getting ready to serve up “modern/old school swing” with two upcoming releases.
February 11th will see the release of his EP featuring the romantic, “I Do.”
The song is described by Matt as the perfect proposal song that is as inclusive as it is romantic. Other tracks include “Mustang,” “Lovely Las Vegas,” and “There’s Nothing Like This,” all of which will appear on Goss’ full-length album, Life You Imagine in the spring of 2014.
As a mature, suave vocalist, Matt’s style and sound has ear-marked him as a modern throwback. In an old-school move, Matt and producer Ron Fair spent two years meticulously recording with a sixteen-piece brass section and thirty-two strings, prompting Billboard Magazine to applaud its “mix of big band swing and contemporary-sounding soul that pays respectful homage to the Rat Pack era.”
“I want my music to sound big. I’m inspired by Queen and Sinatra, Elvis and Bowie because there was never anything understated about their music,” says Matt. “I want to create as much energy, glamour, and drama as I can.”
His weekly Matt Goss Live at Caesars Palace has been called the “hottest show in Vegas” by the Los Angeles Times and was recently extended through June 2014. You can also see Goss in the new Vegas-themed Ciroc Vodka campaign with Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Kylie Minogue’s new CD – “Kiss Me Once”
Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning Kylie Minogue will release a brand new album, entitled Kiss Me Once, on March 18th.
This is the Australian pop icon’s first studio album since 2010’s Aphrodite, and her first since signing to Roc Nation Management.
Kiss Me Once represents a return to the dance floor after 2012’s orchestral compilation The Abbey Road Sessions.
“Making this album was quite a journey but I loved it,” Kylie says. “It was through a time in my life where there were a lot of changes and new beginnings. I’m thrilled with the response to ‘Into The Blue,’ and I can’t wait for you hear the rest of the record!”
The first single, “Into The Blue” was released Tuesday, January 28th, and has already been hailed by critics as “the best pop single you’ll hear all year,” as The Huffington Post put it, going on to praise it as “a bona-fide, smack you between the eyes, instant pop classic” that “manages the rare feat of getting better with every listen.”
You can watch the new single below. Kylie’s new CD is available for pre-order on iTunes.
New music: Matt Zarley “Somebody 4 Everybody”

| Matt Zarley on the set of the fictitious gameshow “Somebody 4 Everybody” |
From the clip description:
Set on the (fictitious) Love Channel game show, S4E, contestants are matched up with their ideal date. This matchmaking show doesn’t discriminate and offers mates for all… be it straight, gay, lesbian, young, old, you name it.
Each episode concludes with the contestants in testimonials presenting the final results of S4E’s matchmaking magic. The results aren’t always what you may have predicted….reinforcing the sentiment that there truly is SOMEBODY for EVERYBODY.
Hey wait a minute… who is that stage manager…?
Guess where I’ll be tonight in Las Vegas?
Pink!
MGM Grand Garden Arena tonight!
Whoo-hoo!
