PS22 CHORUS = THE SCHOOL OF LIL POP STARS

Earlier this year I was involved in Passion Pit’s video for THE REELING (in case you missed it click here). I later found out (happily) that the guest vocals for this track were provided by PS22 Chrous.

“These kids made the record what we had been dreaming it to be, as they are integral parts of three songs….It felt so unbelievable to have the exact sound that I wanted coming through the headphones….”

-Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit on recording with the PS22 Chorus

Check out the incredible kids from Staten Island NY alongside their BRILLIANT teacher Gregg Breinberg singing the pop classic LANDSLIDE as well as JUST DANCE by Lady GaGa.

Utterly amazing.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA PICKS UNLIKELY GUESTS FOR NEW DISC

BREAKING NEWS (in case you didn’t know): Christina Aguilera has plenty of tricks up her sleeve.

Just when you thought you may have the bottle blonde figured out she goes and throws a curve ball, which is why in recent years, of all her former Disney counterparts Aguilera has evolved into an actual ARTIST, reinventing herself and taking time to perfect each project before its release.

This time around Aguilera will be working with bisexual songstress SIA, electronic disco dame GOLDFRAPP, and the futuristic soundings of LADYTRON.

‘‘We’ve written some really wonderful songs. I would put any of the songs we’ve written on one of my albums. And it’s a total collaboration. Often she saves the day when we’re stuck. There have been a few goosebumps-on-my-scalp moments I must say.”

-SIA

If I could choose one artist to collaborate with Aguilera, I’d choose Robbie Williams, simply because they both have super colorful abrasive styles and aren’t afraid of being vocal. Check out one of Robbie’s best works in my opinion, the dark yet spunked out video for COME UNDONE below.
