Tiago PZK – BEMASTE

BEMASTE available HERE.

Watch preview HERE.

Hot on the heels of a whirlwind year replete with sold-out concerts, smash singles and prestigious industry awards – not to mention a hit debut album – the amazingly versatile, pop/urban artist, Tiago PZK kicks off 2023 with a New Year’s surprise – an aching, slow-burning ode to his girlfriend titled “Bemaste.” (The song title is a combination of Tiago PZK’s name and the name of his girlfriend, Belén Negri).

Written by Tiago PZK, “Bemaste” will be available Thursday (January 12) on all digital platforms and also will be included on his upcoming album “Portales Deluxe,” the follow-up to his much-acclaimed maiden effort, “Portales,” that will contain five new tracks, as well as live versions of two of Tiago PZK’s hits.

Produced by the talented “Portales” studio duo Zecca and Evlay, “Bemaste” also features a moving, black-and-white video directed by Anestesia Audiovisual that finds Tiago PZK lost in thought about his special someone who sees him as more than just a famous face in the crowd.

Tiago PZK recently introduced “Bemaste” as a surprise number to an excited audience attending yet another sellout concert in Monterrey, Mexico, that capped off a resoundingly successful 37-date run that took

Tiago PZK to 11 countries in three different continents. His busy concert slate highlighted an incredible year during which he won two HEAT Latin Music Awards and one Los40 Music Awards, while attracting one billion views from around the world to his diverse array of fan favorites, ranging from infectious duet tracks cut with urban mega stars, Ozuna, Yandel, Trueno, and Myke Towers to a wrenching, urban/pop confessional with superstar singer, TINI (“El Último Beso”) to a smooth R&B tune (“Hablando De Love”).

The Walking Bench from the Rottet Collection by Hall of Fame architect and interior designer Lauren Rottet, FAIA, FIIDA, has won a prestigious GOOD DESIGN® Award and earlier in the year also captured a top place in the 2022 NYCxDESIGN Product Design Awards.

The GOOD DESIGN® Awards recognize the top new products bestowed annually by The Chicago Athenaeum in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies. Founded in Chicago in 1950, GOOD DESIGN® is the oldest and most respected program awarding design excellence worldwide. This year the museum received a record number of submissions from an international roster of top manufacturers and industrial, product and graphic design firms representing 55 nations.

“I’m thrilled with this recognition and want to thank this year’s panel of judges along with the design community,” said Rottet, when referencing the recent win for the Walking Bench (top), a sculpted horizontal stone bench that received multiple awards and accolades this year.

Highlighting angled legs and marble construction, the bench was originally designed as indoor/outdoor seating for the entry foyer at the Kips Bay Show House in Dallas.

In the images you can see unique and representative details of both artists such as the Koala with which Ovy On The Drums has been seen and the Bear representing Ozuna.

I’m very excited about the final results and I hope you can enjoy it to the fullest as we close this year and welcome 2023,” expressed Ovy On The Drums.

“I’m thrilled to be able to share this new song along with my brother, Ovy On The Drums, to wrap up what has been an incredible year and kick-off 2023 with a bang for our fans,” said Ozuna.

This new track is the perfect teaser to what’s in store for Ovy On The Drums in 2023, kicking off the new phase of Dr. Drums – a genius who has mastered the science of producing and has his own formula for creating the biggest urban hits in his lab. In this new phase, his audience will get to know Ovy’s mastermind, and more than anything else, the artistry behind the creation of each of his songs.

DJ SNAKE – GUDDI RIDDIM

Multi-platinum DJ and world-renowned producer DJ Snake joins forces with Spain’s Wade and India’s Nooran Sisters for the hypnotic new single “Guddi Riddim.” Listen HERE via Interscope Records. Euphoric and irresistible, the blistering track is already a viral sensation on social media — with snippets amassing millions of views since Snake added it to his live set. “Guddi Riddim” is available now at all digital retailers.

Kicking off with the Nooran Sisters chanting in Hindi and Punjabi, the French hitmaker and the spanish DJ Wade build a big, bold dance anthem that is as frenetic as it is delirium-inducing. “Guddi Riddim” is peppered with a global mix of both the DJ’s signature transitions including echo effects, volume fades, epic breakdowns and Wade’s pulse-pounding beats that are destined to drive clubbers into a frenzy wherever the song is played. By mixing Indian sounds with electronica, Snake, Wade and Nooran Sisters together concoct a truly global sound.

Impressively, “Guddi Riddim” is already a viral sensation on social media. Snake performed the bone-rattling track during a liveset in India on December 5 and clips of the wild performance have already racked up millions of views on TikTok and Instagram. The single follows the sensual “Nightbird,” “Deep,” a bass-heavy collaboration with Malaa and Yung Felix, and “Power (Remember Who You Are)” with Spinall, Summer Walker, and Äyanna.

In July, Snake unleashed “Disco Maghreb,” another culture-crossing barnburner he describes as “a love letter to my people.” In the summer, he played it in front of 63,000 fans at Paris Saint Germain’s Parc des Prince — marking the biggest headlining show of his career. But he’s not done just yet. In the weeks ahead, he’ll be taking the stage for STORY MIAMI, HiJinx Festival in Philadelphia, and more. To see the full list of dates and purchase tickets, head HERE.

With “Guddi Riddim,” Snake adds another all-conquering banger to his setlist and showcases, yet again, his ability to effortlessly blend sounds and influences.

Human Rights Now!

Reebok Debuts New Human Rights Now! Collection with Lexie Brown to Bring Awareness to Equity and Access in Sport

In Conjunction with Collection Launch, Reebok to Donate $600,000 to RISE, a national nonprofit that educates and empowers the sports community to eliminate racial discrimination and champion social justice

Reebok introduces its latest Human Rights Now! collection, a long-term product platform that debuted in 2021, designed to fuel the brand’s mission to inspire human rights and human movement.

This year’s capsule collection aims to bring awareness to equity and access in sport, celebrating the progress we’ve made, but also recognizing the much-needed work that still needs to be done. The line comes fifty years after a historic law passed that achieved better equity for women in sports and forty years after the debut of Reebok’s Freestyle Hi, the very first fitness shoe made specifically for women.

In conjunction with the release of the Human Rights Now! Collection, Reebok is also donating $600,000 to RISE, a non-profit that educates and empowers the sports community to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice, and improve race relations. The investment will help drive RISE programming across all levels of athletes and coaches around the country; programming which leaves 92% of students feeling more equipped to have difficult conversations about race and diversity and 96% willing to intervene to stop discrimination according to a RISE survey. In 2022 alone, RISE has hosted programming for more than 22,000 participants across 33 states and 89 cities.

“As with all of our Human Rights Now! product releases, this collection sheds light on the importance of inclusion, representation and access, not only in sport but in all facets of life,” said Reebok’s Director of Human Rights Now! Product & Apparel Energy Concepts, Carmen Andrade Hardaway. “Our partnership with RISE is such a great extension of our product collection as they help to educate the sports community on these critical topics”

The collection features a range of lifestyle footwear and apparel in unisex and women’ sizing, all of which incorporate a black, green and white color palette. Each piece of footwear features the Human Rights Now! logo on the tongue and the Human Rights Now! manifesto is depicted on the heels of the footwear and select apparel. It reads, “Let your voice be heard, wear this product with pride. Not just because you support the fight for human rights, but because you have those rights.”

The footwear collection includes the Club C Revenge ($90), Classic Leather ($85), Club C Mid ($90), Classic Nylon ($90) and Freestyle Hi ($90) in a variety of colorways including Black, White, Green Cream and Morning Fog. Highlights of the apparel collection include the HRN Crew Neck ($65), HRN Legging ($70), HRN T-shirt ($35) and HRN Jogger ($70).

Headlining Reebok’s Human Rights Now! collection is Lexie Brown, a Reebok partner and professional basketball player. As a longtime athlete Lexie has seen disparity in equity in sport and is passionate about creating lasting change for the future generations of women in sports.

“Being involved in Reebok’s Human Rights Now! collection is incredibly important to me as there are so many people in this world that often feel unheard and misunderstood, myself included,” said Brown. “I have consistently faced a lack of respect being a Black woman in sports, which has only fueled me to keep pushing boundaries in the sports world and reinforced why I started playing in the first place.”

Supporting Brown in the campaign, is Ambry Moss, a former member of the Bahamas national football team, collegiate soccer player, and Reebok employee who is passionate about ensuring better access to sport for the next generation.

The Human Rights Now! collection is part of Reebok’s commitment to donate $10M over the next four years to directly support Black and LatinX communities through organizations focused on ending racial injustice. The release of the collection also coincides with the 2022 Reebok Human Rights Awards, which previously ran from 1988-2007 and returned in 2021. This year’s award, in partnership with Alabama State University, the ACLU, RISE, and Sports Illustrated will honor extraordinary activists in the world of sports and athletics. Later this week, Reebok will be announcing this year’s recipient at the annual Sports Illustrated Awards show.

The Reebok Human Rights Now! collection is now available to purchase on Reebok.com/human_rights_now.
