A Toast to the New Year!

God has been good to us in 2010! With the new year approaching, we can't help but reflect on the progress we've made this year; struggles and all. We have a lot to look forward to besides new music, we look forward to new beginnings. Be sure to stay tuned, we have some pretty big announcements to make in the coming months.
We appreciate everyone that has been rooting for us; you keep us more motivated than the haters do! For those who have been reaching out to us to write, Leggo!!! Keep in mind that we are working on a number a projects so if you don't get a record back in a day, don't get salty! Writers, get at us, let's get these placements!

We'd like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year!

Happy Holidays!!! :)

So great things are in the works, but we actually won't speak about them in detail until they happen. ;) Trust me though...you'll be the first to know. As we approach the new year, we'd just like to take to time again to thank you for your support; and to wish you all a very happy holiday season. May all your dreams come true, your families stay blessed, and desires be granted. Keep striving toward your goals and remember it is better to give than it is to receive. What are you getting family and friends for the holidays? What do you want for Christmas? Any special vacation plans? Keep us in the loop :) Take care and God bless.

Artist and Producer Spotlight!!! L.A. Stand Up!!!

Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the world of 80'S'ix! Today we'd like to just take a moment to focus on new releases. As you are well aware, CD's that have recently hit stores include Rihanna, Kanye, Trey Songz, Nicki Minaj, Chrisette Michele, Jazmine Sullivan, Ne-Yo, etc. What we are most excited about though is Miguel's album, 'All I Want is You'. When listening to Miguel, you can definitely hear who his musical influences are, ranging from Phil Collins, Jimi Hendrix, and Donny Hathaway to Prince. What sets Miguel apart from the rest is the fact that he can really sing, and the instrumentation and lyrics on the record just can't be compared to anyone else out right now. This indeed is real music, music with substance...the sound we've been waiting for. Love, love, love 'Hard Way', 'To the Moon', and 'My Piece', in which he pours out his heart and talks about how his main girl, his love, is his piece of mind, and wins his heart; while other girls will continue to want of piece of him. We definitely recommend purchasing the album and following Miguel ( @migmoney ) on Twitter. Special, special shout out to The Fisticuffs ( @FisticuffsMusic on Twitter) who produced several songs on the album! What sets the Fisticuffs (Brian & Mac) apart from the rest is they play all instruments you hear in their production...no samples! They are ridiculously talented and are sure to take the music world by storm. Not only have they produced for Miguel, but they've worked with artists such as Jazmine Sullivan whose album 'Love Me Back' is getting great reviews as well. The Fisticuffs produced 'One Night Stand' on her first album, Fearless. Congrats to The Fisticuffs and Miguel on an amazing record! This is only the beginning ;)
