Kindness, a.k.a. Adam Bainbridge, makes a highly anticipated return to their own music with “Cry Everything,” featuring a duet with longtime collaborator and friend,Robyn. Centered around thumping bass and a swirling sample of Todd Rundgren's “Pretending to Care,” “Cry Everything” is an intricate, optimistic ode to stepping into the light and loving yourself after a particularly dark period. Pulling energy from queer, vocal house music and self-empowering funk, “Cry Everything” is the feeling of exhaling after years of holding it in, of total catharsis, of forgetting everything that came before.
Pop Star, Chris Mann, will debut his 4th studio album, NOISE, in concert on Thursday, March 28th, 2019 at the Peppermint Club in West Hollywood, CA. The highly anticipated album, NOISE, will be released as individual singles each month available on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music and across all digital streaming platforms. Mann wanted to “make noise” year round and felt this new release model would allow him to better and more deeply engage with his fans, allowing each song to resonate fully in its on way. “Gentleman,” the album's first single, was co-written by Mann, Cameron Forbes (3X Platinum, #1 smash single “Taste” by Tyga), and Willy Beaman (Greyson Chance, Nico & Vinz). The feel-good single sets the tone for the album with a bass-filled urban swagger topped with vintage horns and soulful, falsetto melodies harkening the best of Justin Timberlake and John Legend. NOISE also features a special guest vocal from one of Mann's own idols, 4 time Grammy award winning superstar, India.Arie.
