Angel Taylor Named ‘VH1 You Oughta Know’ Artist on the Rise
January 16, 2010 by FromTheCrowd

Love Travels was named iTunes’ Best Pop Album of 2009, and now Angel rings in the New Year as the latest ‘VH1 You Oughta Know’ artist. The network will celebrate Angel’s rising star with the broadcast premiere of her first music video, “Like You Do,” Saturday, January 16, on “VH1 Top 20 Countdown.” She will perform on the network’s series “Tough Love” Sunday, January 17, and the video will enter VH1 rotation beginning Monday, January 18.
Additionally, YouOughtaKnow.VH1.com is home to the video for “Like You Do” as well as exclusive interview clips and photos. Angel will also be performing on the VH1 Best Cruise Ever that sets sail from Tampa to Grand Cayman April 15-19, 2010.
Billboard magazine hailed “Like You Do” for its “breezy, sentimental pop” and the “sassier tone” of lyrics that are “striking in their assertion of conflicted desire,” while the Associated Press called the album “one of the top debuts of the year.” As a “VH1 You Oughta Know” Artist on the Rise, Taylor joins the esteemed ranks of Amy Winehouse, The Fray and label-mate Adele.
Angel spent most of 2009 on the road in support of Love Travels – opening for the likes of Adele, Brett Dennen, Kate Voegele, Brandi Carlile and Five For Fighting – and resumes touring this month with a series of promotional performances, in-store appearances and college campus visits. Visit her website – www.angeltayloronline.com – for details.
She made her television debut October 17, 2009 when she performed “Like You Do” on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, and her music has been featured on prime time television hits like “One Tree Hill” and “90210.”
Love Travels was released in September 2009, and first single “Make Me Believe” has already been downloaded more than a half-million times. “Fresh and honeydew-sweet…her glowing pop tunes will win over fans of both Corinne Bailey Rae and Colbie Caillat,” says People magazine, who gave the album a three-out-of-four stars review.
Billboard got it right when they dubbed the 21-year-old singing/songwriting sensation one of their 15 Artists to Watch in 2009 – and she remains one to watch in 2010, when Love Travels promises to take Angel Taylor to even greater heights.

Lifehouse to Release Fifth Studio Set ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ December 8th

Lifehouse announces the release of their fifth studio album Smoke & Mirrors on Geffen Records December 8th. First single “Halfway Gone,” co-written by Lifehouse lead singer Jason Wade, Kevin Rudolf (“Let It Rock”) and producer Jude Cole (Rocco Deluca, Beth Orton, MoZella), has already been serviced to radio and is available on all digital outlets today!
With Smoke & Mirrors; lead singer/guitarist Wade, drummer Ricky Woolstenhulme Jr., bassist Bryce Soderberg, producer Cole, and live guitarist Ben Carey have created a set that combines their live sound with great record making.
Smoke & Mirrors showcases two sides of Lifehouse – songs like “Smoke & Mirrors,” “Wrecking Ball” and “Had Enough” (with guest vocals by Chris Daughtry) have a raw and stage driven feel to them capturing the live, rock side of the band; a sound they had perfected after 10 years of solid touring. While tracks like “All In,” “Here Tomorrow Gone Today” and the first single “Halfway Gone” are songs sure to be heard on radio for years to come.
Lifehouse’s multi-platinum 2000 debut, No Name Face, produced “Hanging by a Moment,” a #1 alternative hit which crossed over to become Top 40′s Most Played Song of 2001, while 2002′s Stanley Climbfall solidified the band as a touring force. Their 2005 self-titled platinum effort yielded “You and Me,” a giant hit ballad (Wade, Cole) that set a record by spending more than 60 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. 2007′s Who We Are, also produced by the Smoke & Mirrors team, included the hits “First Time,” “Whatever It Takes” and “Broken,” which combined sold over 3 million digital downloads. To date Lifehouse has sold over 5 million albums.

VH1 And Sixthman Bring Music to the High Seas for the
Ultimate Vacation Experience Hosted by 3 Doors Down
VH1 Best Cruise Ever to also feature Lifehouse and Shinedown When it Sets Sail in 2010
New York, NY -July 16, 2009 – VH1 and Sixthman today announce VH1 Best Cruise Ever, the first-ever official VH1 entertainment cruise set to sail in 2010. This music festival at sea, hosted by 3 Doors Down, also features Lifehouse and Shinedown, and will set sail from Tampa, Florida to Grand Cayman April 15-19, 2010 on the Carnival Inspiration. An exclusive pre-sale for the cruise is available now through July 22nd at www.vh1bestcruiseever.com and tickets to the general public will be on sale starting August 3rd.
VH1 Best Cruise Ever will also include performances by special guests Finger Eleven and VH1’s “You Oughta Know” artists Carolina Liar and SAFETYSUIT and several other artists. In addition to seeing these artists perform in a unique and up-close-and-personal setting, guests will enjoy VH1-themed onboard activities, contests and more.
VH1 Best Cruise Ever will feature full electric performances by the mega-rock force 3 Doors Down. The quintessential fivesome, hailed as “the thoroughly modern American band” (Billboard Magazine), are looking forward to hitting the high seas. Bass player, Todd Harrell says, “We’re bringing all of our RockBand friends…it’s gonna be a big party on the Caribbean!”
3 Doors Down are die-hard road warriors, whose decade-plus ascension has been firmly cemented into rock’s record books. They have attained massive mainstream success with 15 million albums sold and seven #1 hits. The band tours constantly, but this will be the first time they host their own four-day boat bash.
“The ‘VH1 Best Cruise Ever’ is one more way for VH1’s fans to experience the music and entertainment they love, said Nigel Cox-Hagan, EVP, Creative and Consumer Marketing for VH1. “This experience will bring music lovers together for a high-seas festival packed with performances and lots of fun in the sun.”
“We are excited to partner with VH1 to bring together communities of music fans for a vacation like no other,” said Andy Levine, owner of Sixthman. ”Fans will not want to miss the lineup of concerts and activities onboard combined with the unique flavor the VH1 brand brings to the table.”
While watching non-stop music shows and engaging in unique artist interactions, guests can also enjoy all of the amenities and facilities aboard the “Fun Ship” Carnival Inspiration, which last year underwent an extensive multi-million-dollar refurbishment that saw the addition of a water park, adults-only retreat, resort-style pool and numerous other features.
“Carnival is far and away the most preferred and successful cruise line when it comes to hosting music festivals at sea which bring together artists and fans to enjoy intimate performances and other activities in a high quality, relaxing and fun vacation setting,” said Cherie Weinstein, Vice President of Group Business Development for Carnival Cruise Lines.
Cabins for VH1 Best Cruise Ever are currently on sale and start at $799 per person based on double occupancy plus taxes and fees. For more information, go to www.vh1bestcruiseever.com.
