#LAonLockExclusive RIELL - First [Music Video PREMIERE]
‘
First’ is the 3rd single to be released from RIELL’s debut album PARADISE which will be out in October 2020. Following the release of ‘Stubborn' and 'Control of Me', the ‘First’ video is the 3rd in a series of 5 connected videos filmed in Toronto.The project was written and developed over a period of two years while touring around the world, coming to fruition in places like England, Costa Rica, India and Canada.
"I wrote ‘First' at the end of summer one week after I moved to England for a semester abroad in my tiny dorm room on an old, beat up guitar I bought at a second hand store for 10 pounds,” says RIELL. "I was changing everything about my environment, so I was inspired to think about altering my perspective on past and future relationships. Instead of asking if I was good enough for somebody, I wondered what it would be like to ask if they were good enough for me. The music video concept is about growing from past mistakes and lessons, as shown in the ‘Stubborn' and 'Control of Me' videos prefacing it, and ending up somewhere better because of it. The video jumps from flashback clips from the past 2 videos, as well as foreshadowing clips from an upcoming video, to shots of some of the most beautiful places I could think of: an altering of perspective.”

New Music Video: Born - "Don Julio Pena"
New music video from Boston’s Born (of G.Dot & Born). The video’s a tribute towards his mentor Don Julio Pena, who’s helped him sharpen his skills as a fighter, and instilled in him the discipline to pursue his goals outside of the ring. The video’s taken from his Born Flexin mixtape which dropped back in May.
The IGNORVNCE-produced banger, which appears on Born’s recently released Born Flexin project, serves as the soundtrack for visuals filled with footage from Pena’s career. The video is a collaboration between Josh Bliss Lighten and Third Eye Fly, who used clips of the fighter knocking out his competition and also training at the Hardknocks gym.
As dope as it is to what Pena do his thing in the ring—that clip where he elbows his opponent is just brutal—it’s the training footage that really hits home. That’s because you get to see exactly what guest Geo Fendi means when he raps, “Heart of a lion, Don Julio with the uppercuts,” on the hook. This is a man who works himself to the bone to do what he loves and help others reach their goals.
“Julio is a great example of a stand-up man,” Born says of his hero. “He’s a champion at heart, and he motivates everyone while showing them it’s not how many times you get knocked down, it’s how many times you get back up.”
That right there is what inspires the Boston emcee, who himself has used Muay Thai as a way to stay disciplined and focused on his music career. As for feeling like Don Julio Pena? “It’s feeling like a champion!” Born exclaims.

About the artist:
Born and raised in Dubai, UAE the singer-songwriter carved out the beginning of her musical career performing across almost every local venue in the city. With her acoustic guitar in one hand and her passion for the arts in the other, she quickly racked up a string of shows juggling between playing covers and a handful of originals, in hope of seeing what her next step would be.
Reaching what she ultimately felt was a plateau in her journey, she soon decided to undertake in creating her first official release with the new and upcoming local producer Rayan. Embarking into a new direction and sailing into a significantly unexplored genre of music in the Middle East, it wasn’t long before the spirit of her first EP, “Alter Ego” came to life.
Bringing her childhood inspirations to the forefront of her music, whilst discussing themes often subdued, Shébani represents the first female singer-songwriter to embrace the challenges of modern day relevance in music whilst embodying the significance of reflection.
Alter Ego:
They say some things are better left unspoken, but with “Alter Ego” the notion is put to the test. How do we decide what things should be said? When is the line crossed when speaking truths? Shébani examines the aspects of turmoil, regret, the lines that define loyalty, and the lines that break them. Enrolling producer Rayan to shape the music behind those topics, the EP peeks through the keyhole of what is unexplored within ourselves.
After a long stint of attempting acoustic and Indie, “Alter Ego” was born when Shébani re-evaluated her musical direction and decided to follow her urban upbringing. Returning to her childhood influences of Contemporary R&B, Pop, PBR&B, and Hip Hop, the aim was put together an EP that represented her journey to date. With Rayan to dictate the instrumentation and lead the production, it wasn’t long before the spirit of the EP would represent the harshest truth; the alternative side to her personality she was uncovering was simply who she was all along. The songs encapsulate the inner struggles of finding the bravery to expose yourself to the world. Rather than lamenting on the presence of a hidden side, the 6 tracks on “Alter Ego” explain the various burdens that come from concealing your true self.
Using dark insipid keys over urban glitch beats, the album takes a fresh swing at redeveloping the modern-contemporary R&B sound of today. Using the unconventional blending of electronic and classical instruments together, the EP intentionally drives at creating a sonic mood of unrest and an atmosphere of neglect.
“Alter Ego” makes us question the intent and quality of our social circles, relationships, identity, and idea of loyalties. The EP forces the listener to decide for themselves the value of gut instinct, and how much they truly value intuition.
