IVY LEVAN DEBUTS THE LYRIC VIDEO FOR TEASER TRACK “THE DAME SAYS”
Singer and songwriter Ivy Levan unveils the lyric video for “The Dame Says” today. The track which she co-wrote, is a taste of what’s to come in anticipation of the release of her brand new single “Biscuit” out January 13th on Cherrytree Records/Interscope. Check out “The Dame Says” teaser track HERE.
Raised in Bentonville, Arkansas, Ivy displayed an affinity for singing and performing from a very young age. Ivy’s mother filled the house with an enormous variety of music: R&B, Soul, Dance, Big Band and Rock ‘n’ Roll and as she grew up, Ivy began to expand her musical palette with a wide range of music – everything from Whitney Houston to Depeche Mode, Etta James to The Misfits. While there were no musical boundaries at home, she was most drawn towards music by extraordinary vocalists, hard-driving rock bands and heavy, urban beats which culminate in her own distinct version of swagger with a unique sound built around powerful, sultry vocals full of grit and venom.

RACHAEL SAGE VIDEO “WAX”
“Wax” by prolific songstress Rachael Sage from her new album Blue Roses, may just be her most evocative yet. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Nick Clark and set in the eclectic, non-profit Los Angeles-based MorYork Gallery, the clip shows the colorful Sage – who is also a visual artist herself – seamlessly integrated within the extraordinary industrial jungle of veteran sculptor Clare Graham. Made entirely of recycled materials such as soda-cans and puzzle pieces, Graham’s unusual artwork provides the perfect context for Sage’s alt-pop song about the karma we create within relationships. Renowned theremin master Armen Ra (Antony & The Johnsons, Marc Almond) also makes a guest appearance in the video.
