    Mic Crenshaw Releases His New Single ‘Afrika’ featuring Kiloriti and A’ Revolution9

    Mic, Kiloriti and A’ Revolution spit bars about Pan African consciousness as a solution to the issues facing Black and Brown people within the United States.

    PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — “Afrika” is the latest single from Mic Crenshaw featuring Kiloriti and A’ Revolution from his new album, Retribution. Filmed in Zanzibar, Arusha, Tanzania and Portland Oregon, Mic, Kiloriti and A’ Revolution spit bars about Pan African consciousness as a solution to the worsening conditions of discrimination, systemic racism, economic inequality, and countless other issues of disparity facing Black and Brown people within the United States.

    From the stunning visuals at the beginning of the video, Mic Crenshaw establishes his love for both the Motherland and his current home town in Oregon. Simultaneously Kiloriti raps and sings in a beautiful multilingual performance, flowing seamlessly between Swahili, Maasai and English about global unity among Africans on their native shores, throughout the Diaspora and all of humanity. As the 3 MCs exchange revolutionary lyrics back and forth among different backdrops of lush landscapes, turquoise oceans and the Bush the powerful message of unity can be felt in each rhyme.

    Raised on Hip Hop, Funk, Metal, House, Punk and Reggae, Mic Crenshaw would later embrace Dancehall and Afrobeat in his diverse musical influences and tastes. Crenshaw’s sharp commentary that can be heard so strongly within his music is forged through decades of social justice intertwined with activism and multiple, creative, cultural exchange projects on the continent of Africa.

    Crenshaw’s previous single, “Retribution” was the second release from his upcoming album of the same name, an autobiographical work detailing Mic’s social, emotional, psychological, political and cultural development. “Retribution,” “Africa” and “We Are Tigers” are all also both produced by Johnny Cool. A multifaceted producer and artist, who’s worked with Ella Mai, John Legend and the lyrical legend, Rakim. Crenshaw has long worked with African MCs from Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. For at least two decades Mic Crenshaw has been working with the group Soundz of the South, from Cape Town. They actually introduced him to the term, cultural activist and Crenshaw has identified himself as that ever since. The songs are all rooted in Hip Hop, Punk, Dancehall and Soul and the album is a reflection of all the life experiences that have gone into creating and defining his unique journey.

    About Mic Crenshaw:
    Originally from Chicago, raised in between the Windy City and Minneapolis, he now resides in Portland, Oregon. As an independent artist, poet, educator, media producer and activist, Mic Crenshaw has been making a difference in the world since he was a teenager. A founding member of the Minneapolis Baldies and Anti Racist Action, youth movements that actively confronted white supremacist gangs within the hard-core music scene. He’s also a lead U.S. organizer for the Afrikan Hip-Hop Caravan, using cultural activism to develop international solidarity related to Human Rights and justice through Hip-Hop combined with popular education.

    Mic Crenshaw is also the co-founder of GlobalFam, a record label, lifestyle and entertainment company. As well as the Executive Director of Education Without Borders, which supports education, music and art initiatives across the globe. Through their combined efforts the organizations launched a project to create (and maintain) a computer center for disadvantaged youth in Burundi, Central Africa.

    Performing Arts at Fawn Lake (PAFL) Announces its First Concert of 2026 to be Held on February 21st

    Christòpheren Nomura, Monica Yumus and Gerald Steichen will present an unforgettable evening of songs and duets of love, romance and (of course) death!!

    I cannot remember kicking off a PAFL season so powerfully. Our audience will be thrilled by this trio.”
    — Jim Silk, PAFL President

    SPOTSYLVANIA, VA, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Performing Arts at Fawn Lake is dedicated to bringing top musicians from around the world to perform live in the private Fawn Lake Community, located in the Central Virginia County of Spotsylvania.

    This will be Christòpheren Nomura’s first concert at Fawn Lake since his selection as Co-Artistic Director of Performing Arts at Fawn Lake in July 2025.

    An internationally acclaimed lyric baritone, Christòpheren has moved audiences around the world with his immense talent, charm and wit. He is definitely a voice to hear. Hailed as one of classical music’s “Rising Stars” by The Wall Street Journal, Christòpheren Nomura has appeared in opera, oratorio, recital and music festivals throughout the world.

    Opera roles have included Papageno, Figaro, Marcello, Malatesta, Mercutio, Don Giovanni and Guglielmo with such companies as Seattle Opera, San Francisco Opera, Dallas Opera, Cincinnati Opera and German opera houses in Hamburg, Berlin and Kiel. In oratorio, Mr. Nomura has appeared as soloist with such noted orchestras as Boston Symphony, Boston Pops, San Francisco Symphony, Utah Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, among many others in works ranging from Monteverdi’s Vespers, Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s St. Matthew Passion to Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 5 and Frank Martin’s Sechs Monologe aus Jedermann. .

    Concerts have included performances of Brahms’ Requiem with the Washington National Orchestra at the Kennedy Center, Handel’s L’Allegro with Chicago’s Music of the Baroque, Bach’s St. John Passion at the National Cathedral and Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen with the Pacific Symphony.

    He made his Broadway debut in 2015 in “Allegiance”, the musical with George Takei and Lea Salonga.
    Mr. Nomura is a recipient of the highest post-graduate award from New England Conservatory, as well as winner of the prestigious Young Concert Artists International, Naumburg Competition, and International Fulbright Scholarship which enabled him to study with renowned baritone Dietrich Fischer Dieskau.

    Internationally renowned soprano Monica Yumus will perform at Fawn Lake for the first time. The NY Times described her voice as “especially winning”, “utterly captivating” and a voice destined for super-stardom. She has performed on the world’s leading stages and is acclaimed for her sterling artistry as well as for her leading role as a social entrepreneur and advocate for arts and culture. Known for her “commanding and alluring soprano” (Opera News) and “glorious” interpretive gifts (Daily Camera), Monica has appeared as a principal artist with The Metropolitan Opera for over a decade – the first leading artist from her native Bangladesh to do so.

    In 1999, Monica made her professional opera debut at an unusually young age (22) with Palm Beach Opera in the role of Countess Olga in Umberto Giordano’s Fedora after winning the Palm Beach Opera Competition that same year. She then took first place at the Florida Grand Opera Competition and was awarded the Bori Grant for Study Abroad. In a career that spans over 20 years, she has performed across the globe in concert and operatic appearances in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, collaborating with stars including Jon Batiste, Andrea Bocelli, Joseph Calleja, José Carerras, Joyce DiDonato, Jamie Barton, Plácido Domingo, and Bryn Terfel.

    Yunus’ concert and recital appearances include solo recitals at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Alice Tully Hall, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and Steinway Hall in New York, at the Manuel de Falla Hall in Granada, Spain, and at Madrid’s Auditorio Nacional with Her Majesty Queen Sofia in attendance. Chamber works performed include Delages’s Four Hindu Poems in concert in Alice Tully Hall, and Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate at St. Anselm’s Church in New York.

    Monica, who was born in Chittagong, Bangladesh to Russian mother, Vera Forostenko Yunus and Bangladeshi economist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Muhammad Yunus, earned both her Bachelor of Music and Masters of Music degrees from The Juilliard School.

    The pianist at this performance will be Gerald Steichen, also performing at Fawn Lake for the first time. He not only plays the piano, but conducts symphony orchestras, acts in Broadway plays, and conducts opera touring companies, including the U.S. Tour of “The Phantom of the Opera”.  He conducted the final public Broadway performance of “Cats”.  He has presented piano concertos and served as on-stage pianist for New York City presentation. With a career that ranges from symphony to opera and Broadway to chamber music, Conductor Gerald Steichen has established himself as one of America’s most versatile musicians. No stranger to the stage, Mr. Steichen played the role of Manny the Accompanist in Terrence McNally’s Tony Award-winning Broadway production of “Master Class”.

    He currently serves as the Music Director of the Ridgefield (Connecticut) Symphony Orchestra, Principal Pops Conductor of the Utah Symphony, and just completed fifteen seasons with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. This season, Steichen debuts with the Detroit Symphony, and returns to lead the Hong Kong Philharmonic. His passion for education in the arts has led to numerous guest appearances with student orchestras and choruses throughout the United States, including four years leading the student orchestras at NYU. For New York’s Lincoln Center, he spent eighteen years with the “Meet the Artist” series as conductor, clinician, and pianist. With a strong commitment to new music and emerging composers, Steichen has conducted readings of new American operas as part of City Opera’s VOX American Composer’s Showcase, and served as conductor for the for the New York-based Azure Chamber Ensemble.

    Steichen is a native of Tonkawa, Oklahoma; and holds degrees from Northern Oklahoma College, Oklahoma City University and the University of Southern California.

    Since its founding in 2022, PAFL has hosted internationally acclaimed performers Violinist Michelle Kim, Tenor J. Mark McVey, Cellist Wendy Sutter, Pianist William Wolfram, Soprano Gay Willis, Pianist Duk Kyu Kim, Baritone Prince Havely, Pianist Maxwell Foster, Violinist Laura Frautschi, Cellist Kristina Cooper, Pianist/Composer John Novacek, Jazz duo and recoding artists Trumpeter Marcus Printup and Harpist Riza Printup, Violinist Brett Deubner, Pianist Blair McMillen, Baritone Christòpheren Nomura, Pianist Karen Delevan, Clarinetist Pascual Martinez-Forteza, Pianist Gema Nieto-Forteza, and Violinist Kyungha Ko.

  • Sally Said So Professional Dog Training Expands In Home Support Across Raleigh and Surrounding Triangle Communities

    Sally Said So Professional Dog Training Expands In Home Support Across Raleigh and Surrounding Triangle Communities

    Sally Said So Professional Dog Training grows Triangle coverage with structured in home programs that build calm, reliable behavior.

    RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sally Said So Professional Dog Training announced continued growth of its Raleigh service area, bringing structured, in-home dog training to families across Raleigh and nearby Triangle communities. The company’s Raleigh location provides customized training plans that begin in the home and extend into real world environments, with programs commonly designed to show meaningful progress over 30 to 90 days.

    The Raleigh program is built around a balanced approach focused on behavioral wellness, not just dog training. The method is positioned as an alternative to treat dependent reward only programs and fear-based dominance models, aiming instead to develop reliable behavior through clear guidance, reasonable consequences, and timely reinforcement. Training plans are designed to be individualized based on a dog’s temperament, triggers, home environment, and daily routines.

    “Raleigh is where Sally Said So started, and the mission has remained simple,” said Shane Gentry, owner and founder of Sally Said So Professional Dog Training. “We want calm, safe households and confident dogs. The decision-based approach helps families build structure without relying on bribery, force, or fear. When the training begins in the living room and carries into the real world, the results tend to stick.”

    Demand for practical, in-home training has increased as families look for solutions that address everyday behavior concerns where they occur most often. Sally Said So Professional Dog Training reports that many training plans focus on improving leash manners, household rules, impulse control, and behavior around common distractions. Programs also support dogs working through anxiety related behaviors and higher intensity concerns that require careful management and consistency.

    The Raleigh service area includes communities such as Apex, Cary, Chapel Hill, Clayton, Durham, Fuquay Varina, Knightdale, Pittsboro, Sanford, Wake Forest, Wendell, Zebulon, and nearby locations. Consultations are used to evaluate behavioral goals, identify major triggers, and outline a step-by-step training plan tailored to the household.

    Sally Said So Professional Dog Training also noted ongoing professional affiliations and safety focused training standards across the organization, including staff CPR training and participation in industry and veterinary adjacent networks. The company was founded in Raleigh and has expanded to additional North Carolina regions while maintaining a locally owned operating model.

  • Savoy Ellis Returns with ‘I Miss You (feat. Anna Moore)’

    Savoy Ellis Returns with ‘I Miss You (feat. Anna Moore)’

    The new single explores vulnerability after a lovers quarrel, when pride drops and truth remains

    LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Producer and songwriter Savoy Ellis releases “I Miss You (feat. Anna Moore),” the latest entry in his “Love Singles” series and a return to the creative partnership that helped shape The Love Album.

    The track captures a specific emotional territory: the moment after an argument when defenses come down and what’s left is honest. There are still issues. There’s still tension. But beneath it all, she misses him, and that admission changes everything.

    Over warm, groove-centered production, Anna Moore delivers a performance that feels like a late-night phone call: measured, vulnerable, and entirely her own. Ellis built the track from the ground up, handling production, songwriting, mixing, mastering, and artwork, creating space for Moore’s voice to carry the emotional weight without unnecessary flourishes.

    This release reunites Ellis and Moore following their collaboration on “Over and Over Again” on Ellis’ debut album ‘The Love Album’. On “I Miss You,” they focus that same creative chemistry on a dreamy soundscape that lets the emotion sit front and center.

    “I wanted to flood the world with love and music and the ‘Love Singles’ gives me the freedom to do that,” says Savoy Ellis.

    “I Miss You” continues Ellis’ “Love Singles” series, which began last summer with “Only To Love You Baby (feat. Kafeeno).” More singles are expected throughout 2026.

    Available now: https://www.savoyellis.com/i-miss-you

    About Savoy Ellis
    Savoy Ellis is a Los Angeles-based producer and songwriter rooted in gospel, jazz, and soul traditions. Known for emotionally driven production and collaborative storytelling, Ellis builds records that prioritize feeling over formula. His work includes The Love Album and an expanding catalog of singles that examine love from every angle: messy, beautiful, and unflinchingly real.

  • Why Arizona Bike Week Draws Interest Beyond Motorcycle Riders

    Why Arizona Bike Week Draws Interest Beyond Motorcycle Riders

    Art, Music & Combat Sports Among Many Draws at Nation’s Third-Largest Bike Week Celebration

    Arizona Bike Week has become so much more than a motorcycle rally”
    — Lisa Cyr

    SCOTTSDALE, AZ, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Arizona Bike Week returns to WestWorld this April, and while motorcycles are the main focus at the 29th installment, the five-day event also draws music fans, art enthusiasts, thrill-seekers, and spectators. Making it more like a full-scale indoor/outdoor festival than a traditional bike rally. From concerts and combat sports to stunt shows and shopping, here are just a few reasons non-riders are gearing up for one of the biggest and best-attended cultural events on the national motorsports calendar.

    1. Live Music Under the Stars
    A different headliner will hit the RockYard Wednesday through Saturday nights at Arizona Bike Week, with Black Stone Cherry, Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening, Cody Jinks, and Ted Nugent taking turns on the main stage. A vibrant, open-air atmosphere and performances by some of the biggest names in rock and country will keep the energy high well into the evening.

    2. Spectacular Stunt Shows
    Arizona Bike Week’s series of stunt shows keeps spectators on the edge of their seats, with every jump, flip, and trick creating real-time risks that leave little margin for error – and audiences begging for more.

    3. Artistic Expression at Its Best
    From body art to custom bikes, there’s no shortage of beauty at Arizona Bike Week. In addition to a massive vendor showcase featuring custom paintings, tattoo art, jewelry, and other creative pieces, Arizona Bike Week also offers guests a front-row seat to some of the most distinctive personal styles, with many attendees showcasing incredible custom, one-of-a-kind motorcycles.

    4. Prime Shopping Opportunities
    Expect about 250 vendors on-site offering up everything from apparel and jewelry to motorcycle parts and accessories. Arizona Bike Week’s vendor village has plenty to please everyone, from the serious riding enthusiast to the first-time attendee.

    5. Non-Stop Action in the HellRacer Dome
    Those who’ve never seen flat track racing need look no further than the HellRacer Dome, a significant crowd draw at last year’s Arizona Bike Week celebration. Held on a flat, oval dirt track, flat track racing features bikes in a virtually constant turn. Also on the roster for this year’s HellRacer Dome is a Slide School, where participants can develop turning and flat track techniques under the tutelage of Johnny Lewis. Also new is the addition of electric unicycle races, sure to keep crowds locked in from the first lap to the last.

    6. Combat Sports in the Spotlight
    Check out “Bikes & Fights,” part of the Arena Wars Fighting Series inside The Pit, Arizona Bike Week’s newest action arena. It all kicks off at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11, giving guests a chance to see some of the world’s leading MMA fighters face off in a limited seating, up close experience.

    7. A Look at the Latest Bikes & Products
    Some of the globe’s leading bike and gear manufacturers are setting up shop at Arizona Bike Week, giving guests a glimpse of the demo fleets and upcoming models and designs coming down the pipeline. Perfect for riders as well as those who prefer to watch from the sidelines, the showcase gives attendees a chance to explore new technologies, chat with brand reps, and check out the industry’s latest and greatest bikes and gear without stepping inside a showroom.

    8. A Chance to Check Out Local Bands
    In addition to the nationally known headliners in the RockYard, Arizona Bike Week also highlights up-and-coming local bands like Miss Conduct, Last Train to Juarez, BadJune, and Magnum Axxe, all of which earned spots at Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale’s Rock Out to Arizona Bike Week competition in early December.

    9. The Kickstand Social Hub
    Need a central meeting spot or a place to kick back throughout the day? Pop by The Kickstand, Arizona Bike Week’s prime social hub featuring trivia, activities, and all-day fun and games offered up by local celebrity emcee, Pete Cummings.

    10. Peak Season in Scottsdale
    Springtime in Scottsdale is prime tourist season for a reason – mild temperatures and consistently sunny skies make it the perfect time to take a trip to the Valley of the Sun. In addition to a jam-packed events calendar, spring in Scottsdale means easy access to the outdoors and ample reasons to dine al fresco, among many other draws.

    “Arizona Bike Week has become so much more than a motorcycle rally,” said Arizona Bike Week Producer, Lisa Cyr. “The motorcycles are the main subject of the story, but the music, art, and energy play a big part in attracting new audiences – and keeping people coming back for more. You don’t have to ride to feel connected to what’s happening here. The riders welcome our four-wheeled friends with open arms.”

    Arizona Bike Week offers an array of ticket options and experiences, from all-encompassing Rally Passes that grant access to all five days and all four concerts to single-day passes for those hoping to catch a specific show or performance. The PowerYard offers free entry until 5 p.m., with paid access available thereafter (excluding nightly concerts). RV and tent campsites are also available for those looking to stay close to all the action.

  • VBO Introduces Event Manager 3.0, a Modern Backend UI/UX for Event Ticketing Professionals

    VBO Introduces Event Manager 3.0, a Modern Backend UI/UX for Event Ticketing Professionals

    New interface focuses on usability, clarity, and operational efficiency for performing arts organizations, museums, and colleges and universities

    We focused on clarity, consistency, and usability—so teams can spend less time navigating software and more time managing successful events.”
    — David Boehme

    SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — VBO Tickets, a leading event ticketing platform serving performing arts organizations, museums, and colleges and universities, today announced Event Manager 3.0, a modernized backend UI/UX designed to improve how event professionals manage, administer, and analyze their ticketing operations.

    Event Manager 3.0 represents a significant evolution of the VBO platform’s promoter and administrator experience, where teams handle event setup, ticketing workflows, attendance tracking, and reporting. The redesigned interface applies modern UI/UX principles to reduce complexity, improve data visibility, and support faster, more confident decision-making.

    “Event Manager 3.0 is the result of listening closely to how event professionals actually work,” said David Boehme, CEO of VBO Tickets. “We focused on clarity, consistency, and usability—so teams can spend less time navigating software and more time managing successful events.”

    Designed Specifically for Event Ticketing Operations
    Unlike consumer-facing ticketing tools, backend ticketing systems must support high-volume workflows, complex configurations, and time-sensitive operations. Event Manager 3.0 was designed specifically for these demands, with improvements that include:

    • Streamlined navigation across event management, CRM, reporting, and setup
    • Faster access to key metrics such as attendance, revenue, and mobile usage
    • A modern dark-mode interface optimized for data-heavy views and extended work sessions
    • Consistent workflows to reduce errors during live events and peak sales periods

    These enhancements are particularly valuable for organizations managing seasons, exhibitions, performances, and multi-event calendars, including performing arts venues, museums, and higher education institutions.

    Introduction
    Event Manager 3.0 is currently being introduced through a beta program, allowing select organizations to experience the new interface as part of a guided, iterative rollout process.

    The phased approach allows refinements from real-world operational use cases while maintaining reliability, performance, and service standards VBO clients expect.

    Additional updates and broader availability will be announced as the rollout progresses.

    Continuing VBO’s Commitment to Event Organizations
    Event Manager 3.0 builds on the company’s long-standing commitment to pairing powerful event ticketing software with responsive, hands-on customer support. The redesigned backend reflects VBO’s belief that technology should simplify complex operational work without sacrificing flexibility or control.

  • The HellRacer Dome Returns as a Central Action Hub at Arizona Bike Week April 8 – 12, 2026

    The HellRacer Dome Returns as a Central Action Hub at Arizona Bike Week April 8 – 12, 2026

    From Flat Track Racing to Slide School; Here’s a Sneak Peek of What’s Happening Inside

    The HellRacer Dome is a favorite hangout for our motorsports enthusiasts. But even non-riders should check it out”
    — Lisa Cyr

    SCOTTSDALE, AZ, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Arizona Bike Week returns to Scottsdale this spring, bringing with it major concerts, suspenseful stunts and bike shows, and a full lineup of racing and experiences in the HellRacer Dome, the rally’s go-to hotspot for high-energy action.

    A significant part of the festivities at the Southwest’s biggest bike rally, set for Wednesday, April 8, through Sunday, April 12, at WestWorld, the HellRacer Dome will host a series of races, training sessions, motorcycle displays, and exceptional experiences designed to educate riders and captivate spectators.

    A fan favorite, flat track racing, returned to Arizona Bike Week last year after a multi-year hiatus. Known for its loyal fanbase and intense bike-on-bike action, flat track racing sees riders race around a 1/8-mile dirt track, in a nearly constant left turn, requiring careful precision and skill from the racers.
    Also happening under the HellRacer Dome is the Slide School, with professional racer Johnny Lewis instructing all sessions and helping participants develop confidence and control on two wheels.

    Electric Unicycle Racing from Amped Electric Games will also draw fans to the HellRacer Dome, adding a fast-paced and unexpected twist to the event lineup. Participating riders reach high speeds while balancing on a single wheel in races that reward precision, balance, and reaction time.

    “The HellRacer Dome is a favorite hangout for our motorsports enthusiasts. But even non-riders should check it out,” said Arizona Bike Week Co-Producer Lisa Cyr. “The action inside is fast, fun, and totally unpredictable, giving guests a front-row seat to all the excitement.”

    While the HellRacer Dome is always a central hub of action during Arizona Bike Week, it’s one of many event draws, with some of rock and country’s biggest names taking over the RockYard Wednesday through Saturday nights and a full vendor showcase featuring everything from apparel, leather goods, and tattoos to bikes, bike accessories, and other gear and merchandise. Bike shows, stunt shows, and combat sports are also part of the festivities, with “Bikes & Fights,” part of the Arena Wars Fighting Series, setting up shop inside The Pit, Arizona Bike Week’s newest action arena.

    Arizona Bike Week offers numerous ticket options and experiences, from all-encompassing Rally Passes that give fans access to all five days and all four concerts to single-day passes for those planning their visits around a specific show or performance. The PowerYard allows free entry until 5 p.m. with paid access available after that time. RV and tent campsites are also available for those who want to stay close to all the action.

  • Vocal Equipment Store Offers Comprehensive Range of Professional Vocal Equipment for Musicians and Performers

    Vocal Equipment Store Offers Comprehensive Range of Professional Vocal Equipment for Musicians and Performers

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Vocal Equipment Store, a United Kingdom-based retailer located in central London, provides musicians, vocalists, and audio professionals with access to a curated selection of vocal equipment. The store specialises in products designed specifically for vocal performance and recording applications, serving customers who require dedicated equipment for voice-based work.

    The retailer maintains an inventory spanning several product categories essential to vocal performance. Their vocal microphones selection includes options suited for both studio recording and live performance environments. Microphone selection plays a significant role in capturing vocal quality, with different models offering varying frequency responses and pickup patterns suited to different vocal styles and performance contexts.

    Beyond microphones, the store stocks vocal effects processors and vocal effects pedals, enabling performers to shape and enhance their vocal sound. Effects processors and pedals allow vocalists to apply real-time modifications during performances, with capabilities including reverb, delay, pitch correction, and harmonisation. These tools have become increasingly relevant for performers seeking to expand their sonic palette or achieve specific vocal textures in live settings.

    Vocal equipment represents a distinct category within the broader audio equipment market. Unlike general-purpose audio gear, products designed for vocal use often incorporate features addressing the specific frequency ranges, dynamic characteristics, and tonal qualities associated with the human voice.

    HIP Video Promo Presents: Divergent premieres new lyric video for ‘Rev It Up’ on Music-News.com

    Divergent Races into Sophomore Era with ‘Rev It Up’ Lyric Video

    JOHNSTON, IA, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — When the idea of coming together to start a new original project was first floated, lead vocalist/ guitarist/keyboardist James Richards, bassist/vocalist Mike McAlister, and drummer/vocalist Paul Richards (James’ brother) had no idea that a single conversation would transform into a bold artistic statement—rekindling their lifelong passion for music and performance that had lain dormant for years and bringing pure, spirited rock back to listeners worldwide. With no set roadmap for reinvention, the process of creating Divergent’s first record focused primarily on building a new identity—one that didn’t simply revive the Chautauqua Road Band, the cover band that first brought them back to the stage after high school, but reflected their current drive to be unapologetically different.

    They jumped headfirst into the behind-the-scenes creative process, finding their collaborative groove along the way. Now, with an impressive debut album already under their belt and the release of their official “Rev It Up” music video just around the corner—heralding the arrival of their sophomore record of the same name—fans might want to buckle up, because all signs point to a band in full ignition, fired up and racing headfirst into their next phase at lightning speed.

    There’s an unofficial Australian slang word that happens to fit Divergent and their fellow car enthusiasts perfectly—people who are obsessed with the world of fast cars, high-performance engines, and motor racing. When James, Mike, and Paul settle into the stands at the star-studded Indy 500—or any of the exhilarating races that pack out their local Midwest tracks—they tap into their inner “Revhead,” fueled by the dopamine rush of growling engines. That same energy powers their latest single, “Rev It Up,” which captures the wide-open feeling of hitting the road and watching the speedometer climb, knowing nothing can stand in the way of a rebel behind the wheel. Every line James writes is over the top, brushed with brazenness, and soaked in rock-and-roll bravado. Paired with punchy power chords and pounding drums, the track feels like the soundtrack fans have always needed—an excuse to “Rev It Up” without ever leaving their garage.

    As the first visual introduction to their high-octane next chapter, the “Rev It Up” lyric video is a holy grail for petrolheads—the pinnacle of automotive desire and the thrill of flooring the gas pedal. Each shot celebrates Divergent’s long-held love of classic cars and racing, turning chrome finishes, leather seats, shimmering pistons, and smooth-shifting gears into something mouth-wateringly decadent. And with the 1970 Chevelle Supersport often hailed as “the king of muscle cars,” it only makes sense for its driver to exude the searing mojo of an outlaw—the kind of daring figure who pushes limits, shrugs off danger, and leaves flashes of red and blue in their rearview. In this visual, those deep-set fantasies roar to life—while viewers sing (or shout) along over the crunch of tires kicking up dust. Here, there’s no speed limit and no need for pleasantries—just a long stretch of open road, scenery begging to be blurred past, and a destination somewhere far beyond the horizon.
