Shot In The Dark back on iTunes Charts

Shot In The Dark

Emma-Lee‘s Shot In The Dark is back on the iTunes charts this month, recently hitting #34 on the top Jazz singles in the USA and #28 in Greece. The song originally hit the charts in October 2011 when it appeared on Lifetime Network’s reality show Dance Moms, at that time peaking at #22 in the US and #11 in Greece. It has also inspired a series of tribute Youtube videos by young fans of the show – featuring everything from solo and group dance routines that the young girls choreographed themselves to homemade commercials for Britney Spears perfume… super cute! Here are a few I’ve stumbled across:

Solo dance by TheDancer20
Britney Spears perfume advertisement by TheAbby013
Artistic video interpretation by shadyandalyssa
Group dance routine by NSLgirls3
Solo dance by RibbonsofScarfs
Solo dance by Ferrusloki

“Not Coming By” Video Premiere

Emma-Lee‘s official video for Not Coming By (directed by Josh Warburton) premiered this morning on MOKB. They called the song “A deliriously catchy (North) Americana number that overtakes you like a cool evening fog, slowly gaining energy before finally exploding into a shower of Marachi-flavoured horns.” Not Coming By is the first single from Emma-Lee’s upcoming record Backseat Heroine, which was produced by Marc Rogers and yours truly. :)

It Won’t Be Christmas (Till You’re Here) on NCIS

It Won’t Be Christmas (Till You’re Here) by Julie C was featured in the opening scene of NCIS: Los Angeles last night! The episode is called Higher Power. I especially liked how the lyric “it’s not about the 25th, it’s about the one you’re with” synced up with the scene where the couple gets their sexy on… :) well done NCIS!

Fairytale Ending released!

Mike Ferfolia: Pop Star Reject

Mike Ferfolia‘s brand new album Pop Star Reject just hit iTunes and it features Fairytale Ending, a ballad I co-wrote with the my talented friend Maxwell Roach. Mike has the voice of an angel, and we met when I asked him to come in and sing on some tracks. One of the songs was an early demo of Fairytale Ending… and as soon as Mike started to sing, it was immediately clear that he was the perfect singer to perform it!
