WATCH THE NEW JEREMY GLOFF VIDEO "LIGHTS ON"


Spring 1987. A twelve year old boy is getting ready for his middle school dance. He taught himself all the dance moves to Janet Jackson’s “Control” singles. He keeps his fingers crossed. He really hopes the DJ plays Janet so he can show his classmates how good he can dance. Friday night arrives. One more look in the mirror. His parents drop him off and the dance begins. He wishes for Janet. “Gimmie A Beat!” At ten p.m. his wish comes true. The DJ’s playing “Nasty” by Janet Jackson and his dancing begins. The music pounds and his classmates watch in awe. He feels like the pop star he wants to be when he grows up. Just like Janet! Just like Madonna! He feels like a hero. The following Monday afternoon back to school. So much whispering. Turns out the kids were watching as he danced but not in admiration. They called him mean names for the next six years and his life forever changed. He’d never feel brave enough to dance like Janet again. That boy finished high school. He taught himself guitar. He graduated from college. He went on to release fourteen indie-acoustic albums. But never again would he allow himself the freedom and abandon of that middle school dance in 1987. Until now. That boy dancing to Janet Jackson was me and I present to you my new album ‘1987’. The time has come to dance…again.

The damn human mind and it’s craving of noise

Why Mariah Carey’s new album has stalled.

Earlier this year the hype was rampant.  Press releases.  Interviews.  And a lead single that was, face it, pretty killer.  The buzz surrounding Mariah Carey's E=MC2 album was huge...
