Yeule Shares New Danny L Harle-Produced Song “Too Dead Inside”: Listen
I thought it was interesting to use a jungle beat for a song within the Yeule sonic sphere. I think I wanted to see if lyricism had potential to pull a shiny, new, up-beat aesthete into a darker realm. Some days I find myself having little to no reaction to things that happen, good or bad. It’s as though I just close off from everything. I might as well be a ghost. I’m watching everything from above, detached from reality. I watched someone die before, and they really wanted to live. A lot of the time, we like to say we’re dead inside. I think it’s the way we cope, because it’s just too familiar and too convenient to be absent. I think I always had a lust for life despite romanticising death often. When something happens to you that leaves an imprint, a deep scar, it takes...

The Box That Rocks: Ralph McDaniels On The Legacy of Video Music Box
Before Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City, the Tri- State area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut had the gift Video Music Box, hosted by VJ Ralph McDaniels and the Vid Kid aka Lionel C. Martin.

When the introduction of the show kicked off, a large boom box in front of the NYC skyline and Whodini’s “5 Minutes of Funk” playing in the background, viewers were hypnotized for an hour with videos from local, now globally recognized artists, and any party anywhere in the area.

Shawn Mendes Caught in a Blizzard Of Emotion in Chilly ‘It’ll Be Okay’ Video
Love can leave you cold, especially when it leads to heartbreak. That’s the simple message in the video for Shawn Mendes‘ emotional single “It’ll Be Okay.” The kind of blue ballad released in the wake of the singer’s high-profile November breakup with Camila Cabello after two-plus years of dating finally got a visual treatment on Thursday (Jan. 13), more than a month after Mendes dropped the song.

The Chainsmokers Announce Their Return In Hilarious Satire Video: Watch

At the end of the video, the fake Chainsmokers are then replaced with the real thing, with the duo’s Drew Taggart a...
