80s music

The 80s were chockful of New Wave power ballads, synthesizers, drum machines, and no shortage of Madonna and Michael Jackson.

Just A Minute
Introduction As I write this or rather put this together, there are forty-one hours to go before the Vocal "Just A Minute" Challenge, and it got me thinking, what about a playlist of songs that last sixty seconds or less, and there are a lot of good ones that are literally gone in sixty seconds.

Why Actors Like Andreas Szakacs Are Stepping Into Production
From Interpreting Characters to Shaping Stories For many actors, the early years are focused entirely on craft — building emotional range, mastering technique, refining presence. That foundation remains essential. But storytelling decisions often happen long before cameras roll.

Every Rose 🌹 Has its thorn by Poison covered by Rikki La Rouge
I always had this great idea that the power metal the hair, metal ballad by Poison every rose has its thorn would make a great salsa song and so I went ahead and did it and what you hear in the track is my demo version of the salsa version in my cover of every rose has its thorn by poison. I just wanted to see pretty good. It’s a little fast yes but if I slowed it down, I realize that would sound a hell of a lot but it really sounds good at the it really sounds good. I must say.

can Ozzfest return?
Recently I saw on Instagram how they were asking if should OzzFest return, many support the idea yes i see where you would get the idea that it would be a good idea but since things because of traffic was Ozzy's namesake Festival I i feel like not without Ozzy it shouldn't return because the tradition for Oz Fest was that you see you get to see Ozzy at the end of the night and during the day and the evening and what not until Ozzy comes on stage you get to see pretty cool metal bands too and up and coming metal bands andLegendary metal bands at the end of the night you get to always see Ozzy and stuff and that's where I standThe question should Oz Fest returnAnd can Ozzfest returnI I don't think so it wouldn't be the sameQuite frankly it wouldn't be right at least that's the way I see it that's allPeriodI guess I'm speaking as an Ozzy fan andYes I am speaking as a Ozzy fan and someone that really loves Ozzy. To me it doesn't seem right I mean after all think about this Ozzy just passed and and yet i don't I don't know where yes I do know where I stand I don't think it would work I mean you know this is Ozzy's and Sharon's baby and brainchild and stuff and you know like I said before I just don't i just don't see it that's all that's all I'm trying to say . To have Ozz Fest without its namesake this beautiful child has no way there's just no way that's all. It would be hollow and there would always be a reminder of the fact that Ozzy isn't there. Not only would it be hollow but also empty.

Hot Topic
Hot Topic has had a great evolution in its existence period it began as a heavy metal store that catered to the heavy metal set in its Inception and then as musical trends went on it became something else period hence the name I think that's why the name of the store is Hot Topic because it always stays current andAnd yes it goes along with Trends but still in a good way. That's how you stay successful in business you go along with Trends and you stay current but all the while you stay true to who you are and what your originalBusiness model had been.

Babalu Aye cover by Rikki La Rouge
what you are hearing in this article is my cover of the iconic Cuban song Babalu Aye. Like Willy Chirino says about himself, hijo de Babalu I believe in Babalu myself too. Babalu was introduced to American audiences on the famed classic and iconic 1950 sitcom starring Lucille Ball and Desi I love Lucy. Desi is underrated and a genius who deserves to be more celebrated than he was. He was truly and over looked icon. Everyone focused on Lucille Ball but they overlooked Desi . Also, that’s something I’ll get into another article.

Rikki La Rouge cover of Dead or Alive You spin me right round
have that song you spin me and I always liked it and so I decided to do mariachi version of . Now the music is a little louder than some of the vocals, but it really is a decently recorded track to say the least. everything I was going for as far as song goes really is there and it makes sense and it hits the mark and everything so why I decided to do an article and post it here too. This song is also in my X-rated cover playlist on YouTube. even though the song sounds like it does there really is something there and I’m not just saying that I’m the one that produced it performed it and everything else I mean, I know that I rushed it a little bit but still what I was going for is really still there in the demo itself so you can see that I had if you see if I had better recording equipment I would’ve been able to make it a hell of a lot better than what I did, but you learned to make do and stuff but every recording equipment I’ve ever used always produced really good stuff for me.

Rikki La Rouge Cover of Como La Flor and Baila Este Cumbia
This is a rough demo I did of the Selena song Como La Flor. Even though it’s a rough demo, it did record really well. I recorded because she’s one of my favorite all-time singers. Also, when I was in high school, I sang in a talent show, and I decided to do my version of the Selena used to open the song by doing of the course first and then so I did a studio or makeshift studio in my case version of that song and it did come out really well, even though it was a rough demo that I did and it’s only rough because the what I recorded on was not equipped for that.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.

Andando en el barrio por Rikkilarouge 2021 released on the Spinnup InGrooves Universal Music Group disco con la Luna guiarme
this is a video for salsa song of mine that I did called Andando en el Barrio. In English, it means walking in the neighborhood. This was a song that I did on my last album in Spanish called con La luna Guiarme , which means with the moon to guide me. The song itself was from when I went walking in Spanish Harlem one day. I went in order to try to find this mural that was done . No such but I song that you have today. The album and song was released on spin up record label that used to be on universal music group. There’s another version of this there’s another video for this song, but I prefer this one instead. This is one of the music videos that my first music videos that I started directing myself. There are other music videos that I’ve directed and in the future, I’ll be posting them so you guys can see. The concept for the music video and the concept for itself go together beautifully hand-in-hand. The other video version for this song I’m not a big fan of it because I was really in bad shape when I recorded that one. But this one is a heck of a lot better. I’m not saying the other one isn’t good. I’m just saying I was out of shape when I shot it, though just being honest here. I really directing music videos. It’s another outlet of creativity that I found that I could actually do with success. there are other tracks that I recall that I directed just I guess you could say drafts and stuff but no. But for in the neighborhood I went with a concept of one day I was in my car and I just to recording the stores in the city streets as we were passing and it fit right there along with the music so very well. I later back at it it came out really really well. This version of the video I’m a lot more happier this version than I am with the other one for obvious reasons I don’t look that good in the other one that’s mainly a reasonable vanity but still that’s a good reason not to want that video over this one. This video was comes from footage. I took when I went to New York City and other surrounding areas too. Like there’s a mural of Tito Puente in it. I also saw mural of Celia Cruz in it that I saw that I just wanted to add in the music video too Just a shout out and tribute to two Latin music greats.
