Jersey Girl Lauren Ianuzzi likes to play with matches and start fires. Good news! She can take the heat. Lauren’s songwriting and unique vocal style reveal what she and most girls think about relationships and boys, but not rarely ever say. With tight clothes, flashy earrings and curls for days, Ianuzzi’s spontaneous and sexy personality match her soul and funk driven music.
Inspired by the likes of Prince, Carole King and Stevie Wonder and musical genres such as Motown, hair metal and classic rock, Ianuzzi is a classically trained pianist and saxophonist who uses her musical inspirations to create witty songs loaded with wordplay and pop-culture references.
Ianuzzi has perfected her live performance after numerous standing room only shows at clubs like Manhattan’s famed Cutting Room and The Canal Room. The show is a heart pounding energetic production in which Lauren not only writes and sings all of her own songs, but she handles all the musical and stage direction of her four piece band.
The highlight track that Ms. Lauren Ianuzzi looks forward to performing live is “A Funk I Won’t Forget.” “This is where I get to be a real bandleader, says Lauren. It has such a strong James Brown vibe, so I grunt and pump my fist on all the hits. I reference a lot of instruments in the song, so I created a live arrangement that allows each band member to have a solo. Instead of the rap, we do this extended instrumental buildup that climaxes with a huge vocal riff.”
Other outrageous tracks by Ianuzzi consist of “Cotton Underwear Days” which is an ode to all the ladies out there who just don’t feel like wearing sexy silk undergarments everyday! ”Strawberry Poison” was written through the eyes of a rockin sex-goddess character, so Ianuzzi has fun tapping into that mysterious, alluring attitude. “Nobody really knows what Strawberry Poison is, but everybody has to want some,” jokes Ianuzzi.
In addition to writing music, obsessing over entertainment literature, weaving sparkly handbags and covering t-shirts in puffy paint, Ianuzzi recently scored the musical film Camp Summerstage, written by James Greenberg and produced by Steven Beer. Lauren also opened for Train lead singer Pat Monahan and 2008 Grammy Nominee Emily King at the Sundance Film Festival in January ’08.
Lauren trains with renowned voice coach and mentor Don Lawrence (Christina Aguilera, Mick Jagger, En Vogue). She has co - written songs with writers Jeff Franzel (*NSYNC, Taylor Dayne), Martin Briley (Pat Benatar, Celine Dion) and recorded with the following producers: Steve Skinner (original cast recording of RENT), Adrian Gurvitz (Sheryl Crow), Jim Beanz and Charlie Brown (Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado), the Noize Trip team (Fergie, The Roots), Visionary Music Group (Destiny’s Child, Elton John), and Patrick Shaw of Tainted Blue Productions (Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys).

Check out Solange Knowles on tour with Raheem DeVaughn and Chrisette Michele now! Please let me know if you’d like to review one of the concert dates below. Geffen Records presents the sophomore release from Solange Knowles, SoL-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams due for release on August 26th. In anticipation for Solange’s CD release on August 26th we have audio streams of the first single, “I Decided”,
Talented singer, songwriter, artist, and entrepreneur, Solange Knowles AKA SoL-AngeL, is ready to set the world on fire with a sound that is sure to breathe life into a sometimes stagnant music scene. With her sophomore set, SoL-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams, on her new label home of Geffen Records through Music World Entertainment, Solange takes us through a walk in yesteryear with an uber modern twist. SoL-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams is due for release on August 26th.
On SoL-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams, SoL-AngeL enlisted help from producers and songwriters that she knew would capture the sound she wanted to project instantly; but getting them to believe in her wasn’t easy.
“I literally had to beg Cee-Lo to listen to my music but once he did he signed on immediately,” states the giddy SoL-AngeL. “We wrote and recorded ‘T.O.N.Y’ and ‘Sandcastle Disco’ (produced by Soul Shock) that same week. Producer Jack ‘Splash’ joined in to produce ‘T.O.N.Y’ and went on to produce two more songs for me: ‘Would’ve Been the One’ and ‘Ode To Marvin,’ my special take on Mr. Gaye’s ‘What’s going On,’ both of which I wrote with Splash and Makeba.”
For the remainder of the album SoL-AngeL went on to work with Pharrell for the finger-snapping, feel-good first single “I Decided,” Lil Wayne makes an intoxicated guest appearance on “Champagnechronicnightcap,” Bilal helps write and appears on “Cosmic Journey” and “Wanna Go Back,” which Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry lends vocals to, and Raphael Saddiq produces the soulfully insightful, “Same Song, Different Man,” which features Estelle.

The footage comes from the group’s first ever live performance on April 12th, 2008 at Deep Rock Drive in Las Vegas, NV, where the band performed their Corporate Punishment debut, 1.0, in its entirety. The entire concert was broadcast live online at www.DeepRockDrive.com
“We are very excited to start playing live and I think its shows in the footage from our Global Webcast on DEEP ROCK DRIVE from Las Vegas, NV that we did in April,” says frontman Norman Matthews. “We have just booked a swing of live shows with the first being a FREE ALL AGES SHOW Presented by our good friends at TO DIE FOR CLOTHING, then we will be hitting Hollywood, CA and my hometown of El Paso, TX.

Never Enough’s debut album, 1.0, was released through Corporate Punishment Records. The album has been hailed as “a creative and expressive down-tuned, synth-driven stomp in the mud that would leave Gravity Kills salivating,” by TuneLabMusic.com and has drawn comparisons to Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and HIM.

It’s all Pete Doherty’s fault. No, it’s down to Red Hot Chili Peppers. Or do we finger Fran Healy of Travis? Nah, sod it, let’s blame Ewan McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal. They’re movie stars, proper ones. They’re used to shouldering serious responsibility. If it weren’t for these artists, Amy Macdonald wouldn’t be the teen-sensation singer-songwriter she is now. She’d still be kicking round Glasgow, an undergraduate at university, studying social sciences with an emphasis on geography. The highlight of her year would continue to be her annual pilgrimage to T In The Park, whereat she and her mates would party under canvas for 48 hours, forget their own names, and maybe see some bands. Amy Macdonald would still be a nobody, instead of a somebody out of whom great songs just flood. Amy was 12 when her world wobbled on its axis. She was on a family outing to Rothesay on Scotland’s west coast. Her gran gave her some money to treat herself. Instead of buying a tenner’s worth of ice-cream she bought a CD: The Man Who by Travis. It was the first album Amy ever owned. She was blown away: simple songs (Driftwood, Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, Writing To Reach You), sung brilliantly, roaring powerfully in her ears and in her head.
Jersey Girl Lauren Ianuzzi likes to play with matches and start fires. Good news! She can take the heat. Lauren’s songwriting and unique vocal style reveal what she and most girls think about relationships and boys, but not rarely ever say. With tight clothes, flashy earrings and curls for days, Ianuzzi’s spontaneous and sexy personality match her soul and funk driven music.
Rock & roll triumphs are rare. But by nicking choice elements from the genre’s checkered past and fusing it with raw power and sexual energy, Ligion’s invigorating Maple Jam/Bellum Records debut is just that. Spitting out a vital, dexterous eleven-song cycle that runs the gamut from infectious, rock radio gems to pensive, Zippo lighter-ready epics, Ligion has the potential to gather the masses. Crafted with the help of iconic rock producer Greg Ladanyi, this Nashville-based five piece fills a void as it resets expectations of what a modern rock album can be with 2007’s fiery entry External Affairs
Here are this week’s GHIDRAH songs:
SONG 1: Amy Macdonald - “Mr. Rock & Roll”
SONG 2: Lauren Ianuzzi - “A Funk I Won’t Forget”
SONG 3: Ligion - “Lost My Car”
