Encore Brand New Single:Tit For Tat & Video

Fresh from touring with Jessie J and supporting NDubz on their sold out Arena tour, Encore are ready to make their mark on contemporary British pop music with release of the remarkable ‘Tit For Tat’. ‘Tit For Tat’ is released on July 17th 2011 and, true to Encore’s trademark blend, manages to combine a banging baseline and a gritty production with soulful vocal melodies, edgy rhymes and sweet harmonies. Encore are Pierre Joseph, Cairo Woodword and Mark Asari, initially three solo artists who were already making a mark in their own right on the urban music circuit. A preliminary collaboration session in the studio, after meeting at an open mic night in early 2009 eventually led to the creation of Encore; an urban boy band with a distinctively pop edge. Creatively the boys emerge from all walks of their deferring musical lives. Mark is a noted songwriter, Cairo a producer and Pierre a rapper. Together they create the perfect blend of smooth vocals, head bopping beats, individual lyrics and genre synthesis which has made some of the UK’s artists stand up and take notice, being the recent subjects in both Tine Tempah and Boy George’s blogs. Mark has been penning songs since the age of 16 and now at 22, he is currently working with Chipmunk and Tinie Tempah, featuring on Tinie’s platinum selling album. Pierre (23) the MC of the group honed his skills on the playground whilst going to school with the likes of Tinchy Stryder and Dizzee Rascal. Cairo (22), learning production skills at a young age from his musical father, already has fans in Vanessa from the Saturdays and Marvin from JLS. The ‘Encore blend,’ as the boys like to call it, is unique in its sound because it involves a plethora of musical styles and showcases the group’s musical diversity. Some of which include dubstep, rap, grime, drum & bass, rnb and soul. Pierre says: “Encore are three guys with individual minds, ideas and sonic influences who have come together to create a new sound that isn’t out there in the mix right now.” Need they say more. Get ready to give a standing ovation. Watch/blog/share the video for ‘Tit For Tat’ here:

CHORDS, RIFFS, TABS AND TURN-AROUNDS

Gospel, Jazz, Folk, Country, Rock, Soul, B-Bop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Punk and Pop, it all came "Out of the Blues" . On the Focus Music page we aim to take a look at the journey popular music has made through the decades with links to influential artists of each era. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and original Blues men including Robert Johnson, Edward Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt made their way north from the American deep South and brought the "Blues" to a wider American audience. This in turn lead to the birth of "Rock and Roll" in the 50s with artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. "The Beatles" were inspired by the great guitar riffs of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard's soulful sound and "Rhythm and Blues" burst onto the UK music scene in the 60s spawning the "Mersey Beat Sound" and "Beatlemania" and the rest they say is Hi...

With the excitement surrounding the release on Florence + The Machine’s second album reaching fever pitch, here’s ‘Shake It Out’ - the massive lead single to be taken from ‘Ceremonials’ .
