What Makes U "Say Yes"

Look Into My Eyes & "Say Yes"
Jason Walker
Jason Walker & Tony Moran are "So Happy" to "Say Yes" to #1!!!

Two-time Grammy nominated dance producer Tony Moran and Out Music Award winner Jason Walker are following up “So Happy”, their #1 Billboard hit from this summer, with a celebratory new track for fall, “Say Yes”. Written by Tony Moran and Mike Greenly, the hard-pounding single features another awe-inspiring vocal performance by Jason Walker, along with a superstar collection of remixes and a thrilling new music video by Karl Giant. “Say Yes” is available now on iTunes via http://www.mrtanmanmusic.com.

“Tony Moran approached me about doing another track right after we finished recording ‘So Happy’, our song that would climb all the way to #1,” recalls Jason Walker from his New York home. “What else could I do but ‘Say Yes’?”

“Mike and I were inspired to write the song from all the wedding ceremonies we’ve each been attending since the supreme court legalized same-sex marriage,” explains Tony Moran. “It’s made us reflect on the power of saying yes and how that simple three letter word can move mountains, promote progress and change life as we know it.”

“I asked Jason to record the single for us because that magical voice of his exudes power. He’s an incredible talent and someone that I truly believe represents the future of music.”

Moran and Walker re-enlisted videographer Karl Giant, the director of the “So Happy” video to helm "Say Yes" - check it out after the jump!

Out & "So Happy" Jason Walker

Cool Rider
Jason Walker

Jason Walker has a new single out! Aren't you "So Happy"???

Two-time Grammy nominated dance producer Tony Moran and Out Music Award winner Jason Walker unite on the season’s most powerful pop-dance record, “So Happy”. Written by Tony Moran and Chris Willis – the American gospel singer turned electronic dance music phenomenon for his work with David Guetta - the epic single features an amazing vocal performance by Jason Walker, a superstar collection of remixes and a visionary music video by Karl Giant.  “So Happy” is available now on iTunes.

                                                                 So Happy

“With all that's happening in the world today, isn't that what everyone wants: to be happy and feel good,” wonders Jason Walker from his home in New York City.  “The dance floor is my happy place.  It’s where I can forget my troubles and let the music take over.  For me, music is the universal truth and when a hard beat pulses through my body, there is simply no better feeling than that.  My hope is that ‘So Happy’ lifts listeners to their own place of pure joy.” 

When deciding on a location to shoot the song’s music video, videographer Karl Giant – who has shot videos for Cyndi Lauper, Ultra Nate, and The One’s - had in mind a destination that was a bit grander in scale than a dance floor.  He whisked Walker to a land of breathtaking panoramas and transcendent realities. 

“We went to the Salt Flats in Utah!” Walker explains.  “It turned out to be one of the most exhilarating, life-changing experiences ever. Five days in the desert was insanely riveting.”

"Get Down" KC Is On Top!


KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND BREAKS TOP 30 ON THE BILLBOARD DANCE CHARTS FOR FIRST TIME IN 31 YEARS

Accolade Comes Exactly Forty Years After Band's First No. 1 Single "Get Down Tonight," Topped Chart on August 30, 1975 


KC is doing what he does best, topping....the charts!
 
August 30, 2015 marked exactly forty years since KC and The Sunshine Band’s 70s decade-defining and transcendent dance hit “Get Down Tonight,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, marking the band’s first mega No. 1 hit that would spawn several more, and an over forty year career that's still going today. Now, for the first time in 31 years, the Miami-born group led by Harry Wayne "KC" Casey celebrates their first Billboard chart single in 31 years in “I Love You More,” currently at No. 30 on the Billboard Dance Chart.

The electronic and techno-infused "I Love You More," a Tony Moran Mike Lorello radio mix, is gaining popularity among DJs and dance clubs from coast to coast. Penned by Casey, he never expected the tremendous reaction it's been getting.

"In 2013 I woke up out of some sort of musical coma. And started writing again with the energy I had forty years ago. 'I Love You More' is a result of this new energy and path that I am currently on. The song is about having so much love for someone that each day it continues to grow," said Casey.

"I Like You" Debby Holiday


One of my favorite singers and people, Debby Holiday is back with a new twist on a chart topping classic "I Like You."

The song celebrates the 30-year anniversary of Phyllis Nelson’s original. It was a #1 hit on the Billboard Dance Chart in 1985. 


I checked in with Debby to get an exclusive comment for Entertain Me on her current gem:

 "What an amazing journey this has been with Tony Moran. From the first phone call when he told me about the song - to our time in the studio & filming the video! Tony works with passion & focus like I do … & I'm thrilled to hopefully honor the beautiful & talented Phyllis Nelson. Music … what a blessing!"

Yes, it was Mr. Moran's idea to cover the Phyllis Nelson original and he asked Debby to do the honor. I for one am glad he did.

This is Ms. Holiday's third collaboration with Tony - hey if it ain't broke, keep going!
