Tiffany Houghton Releases Latest Single “I’m Gonna Love You” – Listen

Pop artist Tiffany Houghton has just released her latest single, “I’m Gonna Love You.” Houghton is a Dallas, Texas native who is now currently living in Los Angeles, California working hard at her future release. Back in 2014, Houghton was a special guest on MKTO‘s American Dream Tour where she got her first taste of major tour life. Since then, Houghton has released her debut EP, This Is Not an EP, back in December of 2014.

Following Houghton’s previous release “Catch Me If You Can,” which received significant airplay on Radio Disney, “I’m Gonna Love You” is a song about that first feeling you get after a first date. Houghton shared with Billboard the inspiration behind the song:

“After the shoot that day [for her Christmas-themed ‘Blame it on the Snow’ video], I went out with this guy my brother set me up with,” Houghton says. “Go big bro, because it was an amazing first date. Afterwards I was jotting down song ideas in the elevator before I even made it to my room.”

Houghton also shares:

“This song is the butterflies. It’s jumping off the cliff before you know anyone’s gonna catch you,” Houghton says. “It’s the delusional belief that the person you just met could be the love of your life.”

“I’m Gonna Love You” will be one of those songs that will have you singing along in no time. Houghton’s voice brings something fresh to the pop scene with her charismatic personality that will instantly bring in new fans all around. Along with the upbeat chorus and Houghton’s undeniable raw talent, “I’m Gonna Love You” will be a song that many will be able to relate to:

If my heart breaks I’m gonna break you / If it’s just a game, I’m gonna break you / If it’s all the same, I’m gonna take you / No matter what it takes (x2) / If it’s just a touch, I’m gonna touch you / But baby if it’s love, I’m gonna love you   

Listen to “I’m Gonna Love You” Below!

The song’s lyrics dive into the mind of someone who just experienced a picture perfect first date and all the emotions that can arise from it. This emotions may include all the first date butterflies and the foresight into the future that this person may be the one. Houghton will go all in as long as the other person feels the same. Houghton will not waste her time if there is nothing more than just a fling and will stand her ground if things go awry. Something hopefully many people will also follow suit, know your worth. The song’s upbeat music and lyrics is the perfect soundtrack to a first date for better or for worse.

Overall, the song analyzes all of these feelings together and is stitches them to create the vision of the experience. Houghton’s voice will become the sound of your feelings to express them in a way that you may be unable to do.

Be sure to keep up with Houghton and keep an eye out for new music coming out in the near future!

Shayla Souliere Shares The Inspiration Behind Her Song “Screw U”

Meet up and coming pop singer, Shayla Souliere, who is from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Back in 2012, she was accepted into a singing contest called “Edmonton Undiscovered,” It was there where Souliere found her true passion in life, music. In late 2013, she came into contact with Grammy-nominated producer/songwriter Alex Cantrall (he has produced/wrote for Beyonce, P!NK, Jojo and more). He took Souliere on as an artist and has been mentoring her ever since!

 

Flash forward to July 2015 when Souliere teamed up with director, Nayip Ramos, to shoot her music video for her latest single, “Screw U.” With the release of “Screw U” on her YouTube channel in December 2015, the song has gained some notable attention. “Screw U” landed Souliere radio play and interviews with some major radio stations including her hometown radio station, Z99 Regina. The song has also gained some exposure on the popular app, Musical.ly. There, many fans and even some major artists have created musical.ly’s to the song. “Screw U” is an energetic, catchy song that gives a big screw U to past relationships.

Screw U / Yeah you wanted me too / But you had your chance and you screwed it up / Screw U / Middle finger to you / Look around, everybody knows ya suck

Souliere talks about where the inspiration for the song came from:

“For my single “Screw U” I collaborated with my songwriting/production team Alex Cantrall, Jeff Hoeppner, and Rhett Fisher. We recorded this at ES Audio Recording Studio in Burbank, CA. We all sat in the studio and I mentioned to the guys that I had some friends going through issues with their boyfriends and that everyone goes through times in their life where they aren’t getting along with someone or someone’s really annoyed them. That was when we thought up the idea of “Screw U.”

“Screw U” is definitely a song that you do not want to be on the wrong end of. Keep an eye out for future releases from Souliere and for future covers that will be posted to her YouTube channel.

Jones has now released her first music video following her Brand New Day EP. The title track makes the perfect music video to a song that will instantly have listeners hooked. It’s message is positive and hopeful of all the goodness that each new day has to offer. Jones reflects:

“Brand New Day” has a fun, summery pop vibe that instantly gets stuck in your head. The song is about feeling stuck in the same routine and wanting change- and then seeing that it’s a new day and you can do anything and be anything, and that things are finally working out. It’s a very positive song, and as an artist I aim to send an uplifting message through everything I create.”

There are three song on Jones’ self–titled EP which she described in a recent interview:

The EP is a good mix of every type of song I wanted to release. We have “Brand New Day”- the fun, uplifting pop song. Then there is “Wait for Me Tonight”- a pop ballad about heartbreak. Concluding the EP is “My Goodbye” which is acoustic, and about loss. My cousin died suddenly in a car crash 4 years ago, and writing this song was my way of coping with his loss and starting the healing process. It’s a very personal song, and it’s been amazing to see how much it has impacted others in a positive way. It’s always incredible to hear people’s personal stories of loss, and how the song helped them through tough times. That makes everything worth it for me.

It’s [the EP] a great mix and [the songs] flow well together. “My Goodbye” means the most to me, but “Brand New Day” really captures the sound I’ve been searching for with my music for a long time.
