Hi guys, It’s been four years! Carvel cake time!
First off I’d like to thank you for reading my blog. Thanks
for tuning in. All of you are important to me, even if it is just one
person. Thank you publicists and thank you artists, and thank you for everyone
that has given me the time of day.
Thank you to all the people I told that checked it out,
people showing up out of the woodwork, and all the interest and support I have
gotten from sharing this site with you.
I’d just like to take this time out and let you know,
especially if you are just reading for the first time, who I am, and a little
background on Girl Blue Sees The Light.
Girl Blue Sees The Light stands for many things. One, it
stands for listening to the radio’s hum-drum same 7-song rotation every 30
minutes airplay, to the point in which you will know certain songs that you
abhor by heart. It stands for a sonic enlightenment. Everyone doesn’t carry a
radio around, but most can download music and listen to
mixtapes, satellite radio, and albums off their phone and computer. All in all
it is just a new way of getting your music, and more control over what you
listen to.
Another meaning of Girl Blue Sees The Light is alchemy. It’s
simply an air of darkness made to transform to an air of light. If Girl Blue
has Seen the Light, then she is no longer blue anymore (she probably would be
green, color wise, but that’s not what I’m getting at lol). It is a symbol of
renewal. I understand that a true artist gets to the bottom of his or her
feelings to create the most honest meaning of expressions, however, there is
also an energy I want to create on here, so when you come here you feel…
lighter (no pun intended).
Theres a few questions that if you have never been here
before I’d like to answer….
Why should I read this blog at all? Why your blog?
I can spot the next superstar from like eons away, so you’ll
know before anyone else. There’s also some great music on here, positive but
not cheeky, fun but not in a trendy way. You’re getting quality music here. You’re
getting an all around artist, all around meaning their recordings are on point,
their television appearances are on point, and most of all they know how to
perform LIVE. I’ve seen many of the people on the blog rock the house and have
met many of them as well, and they’re just DOPE all around.
Who’s the girl behind the blog?
Indeed, a bot did not write this! I am a living breathing
human being. Yet I have decided to give the shine to the artists who deserve
it. If you want the more personal side, I’d like to direct you to the original
stories to the left of the tab bar on the top of the webpage. Penny S. Cilpen
is a fictional character, but I get inspired by life and I use her to channel it.
The entire blog, I believe is a creative use of my personal expression, and I
have more ideas up my sleeve.
Don’t know who I am? Go to “Who Am I” in the right sidebar
list.
I am a little confused as to what OTLC stands for.
Elaborate?
The OTLC are the artists to watch. OTLC stands for “Outside
The Lines Crew,” and they are called that because they color outside the lines
with their work, like a kindergarten kid would. Kindergarten kids have no
inhibitions, and they are free. They don’t know about rules or regulations, and
they express themselves boldly. When young kids color, they color all over the
place! They do not fit in the lines of which they color, as true artists do not
fit in the confines of labels or boxes.
What proof do you have that you can spot the
next big thing?
Something I want to say about finding the next big thing—all
the artists on my blog deserve success, but as you know and I know, accolades
and stats don’t due some artists justice. Nas has never won a Grammy. Just
think about that.
So, with that being said,
1) Ariana Grande is an amazing singer that I did
an OTLC on when she was on Victorious and just got signed to
Universal Republic. Her first album went number 1 on the Billboard Charts.
2) Aaradhna is a talented soul crooner from New
Zealand, and her last album, Treble & Reverb, has gone Gold.
She is now working with Truth & Soul (of Adele fame) for her next album
that should be out within the next year.
4) Kirby Lauryen rose to her own potential by
posting over 250 songs-a-day on YouTube. That’s right, she wrote over 250 songs
herself, arranged them, and performed them on the piano in front of the world,
every day without fail straight. She since has been signed as a songwriter to
Roc Nation, writing for Kat Dahlia, and Ariana Grande.
And more to come!
You don’t post ANY of the people that are on the radio at
all? I want to hear some pop and some rap.
Don’t get me wrong, I like listening to the radio, in small
increments. But if I posted what everyone else posted then you could just as
likely go to their blog as mine. I also see someone’s music getting big, and
the point of my blog is to spot it before it blows up.
I like your stuff. How can I hear more of what you have to
say?
There’s a subscribe button in the top right corner. You know
what to do! I’ll give opinions of the pop stuff and radio stuff about upcoming
artists in my emails that you won’t get on the blog, and I will call out
artists that you will probably hear on the radio in the coming months.
If you want to subscribe to my posts (RSS) and not the email
list, put your e-mail address in the box that says “RSS Feed Only,” on the
right sidebar.
I think you’re onto something, but I know a whole lot more
artists coming up that you’re not posting about.
I don’t post about all the artists I know that are coming
up, just the ones that I think deserve to blow up. I also want to show you a
unique mix of artists that you won’t get anywhere else. If you know someone you
think is all around hotness, you can email me at girlbluestl@gmail.com,
and if I cannot disagree, I will post about him/her/them, and shout you out for
putting me on.
I am an artist. I want to know, how I can send my work to
you?
Artists, send your stuff at girlbluestl@gmail.com! I am
watching everything and if I like it, I’ll go from there.
Hope you’ll stick around for every next post. --GB
