Original Cash Cash Party In Your Bedroom Demo Released
(Audio Crush) Cash Cash released the original demo of their breakthrough single, "Party In Your Bedroom," and reveals that despite the too hot to handle lyrics, what really went on behind closed doors was… A lot of laughing.

"'Party In Your Bedroom' started as a random joke that we had," explains vocalist Jean Paul Makhlouf. "We recorded it one night and sent it to all our friends. They thought it was awesome, so we started to send it to labels and people in the music business."

DJs Rob Hitt (formerly of Midtown) and Erica Dagley at Angels and Kings in New York City were the first to spin the tune. The hype led to a contract with Universal Republic Records, who released a "more serious version" of the song on Cash Cash's 2008 debut album, Take It To The Floor. The label approved track charted on AOL Radio and the accompanying video was a most-requested at mtvU. The band has since taken "Party In Your Bedroom" to stages across the U.S. on an impressive 15 tours (headlining their own and supporting Metro Station, Boys Like Girls, We The Kings, Kevin Rudolf, the All-American Rejects, and the 2009 Vans Warped Tour), on a sold out a 2009 U.K. tour with Cobra Starship and most recently, a 2010 headlining tour in Brazil, where a mob of fans and press took the party to the airport, just before the Cash Cash performed live on MTV Brasil.

Corinne Bailey Rae Sets New Release
(PR) Capitol Records will release Corinne Bailey Rae's The Love EP on January 25th, 2011.

The Love EP is a five-song collection of covers that Bailey Rae calls an "homage to some of my favorite musicians, as well as a conversation between some of my musical influences."

The Love EP opens with a cover of Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" - one of Bailey Rae's favorite songs by the legendary artist. "I met Prince in London at his show at the O2 Arena," she says. "I was amazed by the gig but even more impressed by the aftershow he did in a small venue where he tore it up on the guitar. I love singing rhythmical music but never seem to write anything like that so getting to do this song was a dream."
