Music booth recording

The short-video app, with more than 1 billion monthly active users, has emerged as one of the music industry’s most powerful promotional platforms. Several of this year's Grammy nominees, including "abcdefu" singer Gayle and R&B artist Muni Long, rose in popularity after influencers and everyday users posted TikTok videos with their music. "TikTok is 90 percent of the game," said Adamm Miguest, CEO and founder of Rapid Launch Media, which creates marketing campaigns designed to make songs go viral. Even as the music industry gathers in Los Angeles to celebrate artists and their songs at Sunday's Grammy awards, the relationship between hitmaker TikTok and music labels is showing signs of strain. As deals with the major music companies expire, the labels are looking to receive some of TikTok's ad revenue, according to Tatiana Cirisano, music industry analyst for Midia Research.

I t was the middle of 2007. I was driving around a rundown suburb of Manchester, the sort of place where the windows are all boarded up and my shiny car attracted attention. In my hand, I clutched a scruffy piece of paper with an address for one Karl E Burns. I had no idea whether this was indeed the Karl E Burns who played drums in the Fall until a gig in 1998. He quit as the band imploded on stage in New York and was never seen again. I was on a mission to find him. It all began in 2005, when I wrote a piece for this paper after interviewing Mark E Smith and tracking down many of the (then) 43 musicians who had played in the Fall since 1976. A publisher got in touch and suggested I write a book, based on my quest to find the members of the band I'd become obsessed with. This was the genesis of The Fallen, a two-year search that cost me my peace of mind - as well as my 17-year relationship with my girlfriend. My journey took me around the country: to Salford, to meet … [Read more...] about The curse of the Fall

Min-ho in a production number —PHOTOS BY MANUEL CHUA/OVATION PRODUCTIONS One thing you can expect from K-pop idols visiting the Philippines is that they always deliver. And Choi Min-ho was no different, bringing his A-game the moment he stepped onstage for his first solo fan meet in Manila called “Best Choi’s Minho: Lucky Choi’s” at SM Mall of Asia Arena last Jan. 28. With his distinctive vocals, intricate choreography and polished dance moves, Min-ho—a member of the popular pop boy band Shinee—displayed a level of artistry and precision achieved through years of training.

At one point, he even admitted to feeling nervous about performing in front of his fans. “To be honest, while I was preparing for this, I was really nervous and excited at the same time,” he said, after performing “Chase,” the title track of the EP he released last year. “And now that I was able to show you my performance, it’s an … [Read more...] about Why PH still makes Choi Min-ho’s ‘heart flutter’
