In a previous post , we kinda came around to seeing why Jessie J was being given such deafening industry-backed hype as this big deal: Girl has some strong pipes, enough to convince us that in a live format, ticket-buyers wouldn't leave disappointed. But those hoping that those better-than-average vocals would be matched with some interesting new pop sounds on J's debut offering Who You Are may come away a bit perturbed when finally catching the album in it's entirety. Contrary to the promising, attention-grabbing zing of introductory single [...]

ANYWAY - The E.P. is released on Abracadabra - a label that I'm new to - and our reliable sources inform us that the next release, produced by Pilooski, is gonna be a biggie (more on that soon). Here's the original, if you like - you [...]

Nope that's not a come-on line, its the motto of Abracadabra . This brand new label is the brainchild of two global veterans of dance music: Manu Barron, manager, promoter, and chief of A&R at the Social Club in Paris and Dirk Deruyck, entrepreneur and founder of Eskimo Recordings .
