Sphinx Records: "Smile" behind the scenes available for streaming
We are pleased to announce that Bonnie McKee's behind the scenes for her single "Smile" have now been uploaded to her official BonnieMcKeeVEVO channel.
The behind the scenes video was previously only available through purchase of the physical CD single of Bonnie's single "Smile".
We felt that we wanted the world to be able to see more of Bonnie's experiences in a more accessible way.
Watching the video will not only help spread awareness of the the living conditions of some sick children in Africa, but will also help Bonnie's song gain exposure and spread its message on a global scale. A link to donate to the Bonnie McKee Foundation can able be found towards the end of the video and in the description.
We have also appended the video to our Bonnie McKee page on our website, which can be accessed at www.sphinxrecordsonline.com.
Bonnie's single is currently available on iTunes, as well as in physical form at all good music retailers.

Christina Aguilera partners up with Tiffany & Co.
It has come to our sudden attention that Christina Aguilera will be endorsing the brand company Tiffany & Co. There have been officials who have confirmed these rumours that were floating around ever since Dior made Aguilera their main spokesperson and face of their entire product line. This will mark the first ever business arrangement between Dior and Tiffany & Co., which is an influential moment in the fashion industry since they were massive rivals back in the day when Bloomingdale's and Macy's were founded.
There aren't many details as to what Aguilera's role will be in the ever-expandig brandy company of TIffany & Co., however, we're pretty sure that Christina shall do justice to whatever responsibility they supply her with. In other news, it seems as though Aguilera will also keep endorsing Dior until her extensive contract ends and they'll decide whether to lease her for another two year although it seems likely Christina will be around for a long time. At least her business arrangements with both of these high-end companies won't interfere with each other. That's the last thing Xtina needs at this moment in time.
Aguilera's lead single "Nighthawks" is now available for purchase.

First, you have to think up a name for your record label then sign up artists that aren't already signed. You can view whether they're already signed in the OP. Just post in the thread: Alesus - [record label name] - [the artist(s) you want to sign]. Also, wall message iHype if you want to make sure that he knows you're playing. Everybody starts out with 75 points and every artist you sign will cost 10 points. The charts for this past week are coming tomorrow so I advise that you release a single for your artist(s) sometime tomorrow or Monday so that you have a full PR week until next Sunday
More details are in the OP about the actual game itself + extra stuff.

Bonnie McKee reveals more exclusive EP details!
by Ella Connor
Bonnie McKee continues to hype up the release of her EP, 'Young Love', by revealing more exclusive details.
What we know is that Bonnie's new EP will be called 'Young Love', it's releasing next week on the 7th of July, and will feature seven tracks. Some track titles that we have been made aware of are the title track "Young Love", a track called "Unstoppable", another track called "Disaster" and of course the hit single "Smile". Bonnie elaborated today with more of just what the set will contain.
"The record will be a mix of upbeat pop songs, and some slower pop ballads. The opening track is actually a ballad titled 'Highway Heart'. There are two more ballads on the EP, actually, but I can't give everything away!" Bonnie exclusively revealed to us.
"Another really fun song which I love is titled 'Look What U Got'... it's just a really unapologetic anthem about a guy who doesn't know just what he's got until it's gone. Could it be a single... who knows? Maybe some day. Maybe not," Bonnie teased.
"At the moment my main focus is still on 'Smile'. It's really taking off and I'm excited to see just how far it's going to go. I don't plan on releasing anything else right at the moment, but there will definitely be at least two more singles from the EP. At least two more, that's what my label have told me. I'm excited!" Bonnie revealed.
Bonnie's latest single "Smile" is currently available on iTunes and in stores now.

Promo Spot: Rising Star
Bonnie McKee performs "Smile" on the hit new show.
As the very first celebrity performer for the series, Bonnie has a lot to prove. Fortunately for Bonnie, there's no intimidation of having the worry about raising the wall for her. Instead, if the meter reaches over 70%, Rising Star will donate $100,000 to the Bonnie McKee Foundation.
Fans check in and get ready to swipe either "Yes" or "No".
Bonnie's performance starts off simple, with her performing behind the piano, as she's done before. Upon reaching the first verse after a run through of the chorus, Bonnie gets up and starts engaging the crowd, and the meter starts to sore. Kesha is the first judge to swipe "Yes", with Brad Paisley and Ludacris quick to follow. By the time Bonnie reaches the second chorus, the meter has already smashed 70%, and continues to rise.
Bonnie parades around the stage and makes her way down to her fans, thrilled that the amount of votes needed to secure the donation was met. By the end of her performance, the meter is sitting on a series-high of 97%. The crowd and all judges stand up and applaud Bonnie for her terrific performance. Josh Groban then walks onto the stage to congratulate her.
JG: Wow, almost 100% success rate! That must be reaffirming for you! America loves you!
BM: I don't know what to say, I'm still shocked! I think more than anything I'm just happy to have been able to raise the money for the Bonnie McKee Foundation, and of course to be here performing for all of my wonderful fans!
JG: Kesha, you were the first to swipe "Yes", you obviously liked Bonnie's performance
K: You know I love you Bonnie, this girl has worked so hard to be where she is today and she deserves every bit of success, I'm so happy for you girl, that was an amazing performance! I don't know if I'm supposed to do this, but I'm going to anyway.
*Kesha gets up out of her seat and walks over and hugs Bonnie, the crowd goes wild, Kesha goes back to her seat*
BM: You know I love you too, I just feel so blessed to be here right now.
JG: Brad, what did you think of Bonnie's performance?
BP: I think we have a clear star who's already taking the world by storm and is only going up from here. I have nothing to fault about that performance Bonnie, it was phenomenal.
L: Yeah, same here man, it was dope. This is what all of our contestants should be aspiring to be like, a true star right here.
BM: Thank you, thank you all so much.
JG: Bonnie's new single "Smile" is currently on iTunes and in stores across the country. Ladies and gentleman, Bonnie McKee!

Instant Classic News
Bonnie McKee's "Smile" covered by Korean group 2NE1
by Helen Hudson
"Smile", the latest single by Bonnie McKee, has been covered by a Korean girl group known as 2NE1.
The successful K-pop act posted their cover music video version of Bonnie's hit on YouTube yesterday and it's already received thousands of hits throughout Asia.
This cover could provide surprised and unexpected exposure for Bonnie McKee's music to a whole new market, a market which is certainly a tough one to crack for non-Asian acts. Other successful western acts in Asia include Avril Lavigne and Lady Gaga, and places are few and far between.
Bonnie responded to the cover, saying, "I was very surprised when I first saw it. My manager showed it to me, and I was like 'Woah, that's my song. They've done a really good job of it, but it's so different.' I didn't expect it to receive the amount of attention that it did, but 2NE1's cover has given my song and music exposure throughout Asia that I may otherwise have never had."
Sales of Bonnie's song have increased throughout Asia significantly overnight. Bonnie's latest single "Smile" is currently available worldwide in stores and on iTunes.

Kesha appears on Teen Nick Top 10
27-year old pop queen Kesha has appeared on an episode of the Teen Nick Top 10 to officially debut her music video for 'Beautiful Mess' on TV. Kesha also told us her top 3 favourite music videos of the moment.
Kesha debuted her visual for 'Beautiful Mess' on TV
Kesha's top 3 music videos of the moment:
01. Rihanna - Medusa: I just love everything Rihanna does and this video is no exception. It's fits the song (which is amazing) and is just a masterpiece. This one will go down in history, trst me.
02. Iggy Azalea - Fancy (feat. Charli XCX): Clueless is one of my favourite movies ever so a music video inspired by it could only be worse. But it isn't! The concept of the video is so well thought and actually honors the movie, instead of just ripping it off. Iggy's banging body is also a plus.
03. Zendaya - Gunshots (feat. Taylor Swift): Another amazing one! It was so hard to pick the final 3 but this one definately needed to be there. The video is fierce, well executed and obviously I love me some TaylordT!
The show then moved on the debut Kesha's own visual live on TV with kesha announcing it: "Well guys, it's been a long time since my last visual, but it's finally here. FOr the first time on TV here's 'Beautiful Mess'!"

Aguilera set to host SNL
It has been revealed by NBC officials that Christina Aguilera will host next week's edition of Saturday Night Live. This would mark Aguilera's second stint as the leading lady of SNL with the first being back in 2004, alongside musical guest Maroon 5. She has previously performed many times over here, however, this will surely be a great moment in Christina's career.
Having said that, as of yet it hasn't been confirmed as to whether or not Christina will perform "Nighthawks" or even her upcoming second single although there's sure to be some kind of musical surprise from the "voice of our generation". Here at the HQ, we feel as though this will seemingly bring to life Xtina's great sense of humour which was seen during her seasons on NBC's "The Voice" but only a few true glimpses of it.

Promo Spot: Jimmy Kimmel Live
JK: Our next guest has written #1 hits for some of the biggest stars in the industry, but she's finally stepping out from behind the songwriting desk and is ready to take the world by storm. Please say hello to Bonnie McKee!
*audience claps*
JK: Welcome to the show!
BM: Thanks, it's lovely to be here tonight.
JK: How are you liking the spotlight? I know you've been behind the scenes a lot, is it difficult to adjust to being the one that everyone's looking at now?
BK: I'm loving it! I wouldn't say it's difficult, but it's certainly different. I've always been performing so that's not a big deal to me, but performing my songs for my fans is just a crazy feeling. I love it! I get so excited every time.
JK: Now the new single's called "Smile", and you've been promoting it a lot recently. How is that going for you?
BM: The response has been great so far! I've already performed "Smile" a few times here in the States, I even performed at the 4th of July Fireworks which was an amazing experience. I've also been to the UK and Australia promoting which was great fun, and now I've been informed that "Smile" is actually starting to blow up in Asia!
JK: Sounds like it's been a bit of a crazy week for you then, wow!
BM: Yes, it's been full on, but that's all part of being a pop star. I'd be lying if I said I didn't love every second of it.
JK: Now, as we know the EP is coming out next week, how will you be promoting this? Will you be going to every single country around the world for this one too?
*the audience laughs*
BM: Oh of course, but I plan on going to all of the planets too. One world just isn't enough!
*the audience laughs*
BM: No, but I will definitely be promoting the EP across the US and hopefully the tour will take me around the globe too. Yes, there will be a tour for the EP, which I'm really excited about. Initially I'm just looking at the US leg but my team and I are working out some things and I should be able to expand on that.
JK: That sounds incredibly demanding. How do you cope with all of the pressure?
BM: Just the same as anyone, I suppose? I've been exposed to this kind of pressure before, having to write a particular song by a certain date, or finishing up all of the songs for an album, and so on. So I'm prepared, I think. It's my time, and I'm ready for it.
JK: You most certainly sound like you are. The new single "Smile" is available to purchase on iTunes and in stores right now everyone, thank you Bonnie McKee!

The 27-year old singer-songwriter admitted that her album was a lot more personal than her previous efforts, which were decided by Dr. Luke, while Kesha is the executive producer for this third album. However, the album is not gonna be full of cry songs and heartbreaking anthems. Kesha still has her partyanimal deep inside of her, so be ready for a bunch of party anthems on the album too.

Okay Kesha, but do let us know first when you're official okay?
After the interview Kesha sang a beautiful rendition of her hit single 'Beautiful Mess' and a cover of Kelly Clarksons hit single 'You Don't Need Me'. Both songs showed of Kesha's ever growing voal range and ability to captivate an audience.
