This Week's Music&Film-October 3,2014

This week we have a blend of entertainment,with a film trailer in "Taken 3," a live video in Steve Winwood and Chaka Khan's "Higher Love," a studio/location video in Selena Gomez&The Scene's "Round&Round," and some stills in Jefferson Starship's "With Your Love" and Lauryn Vyce's "Let Me Be." "Taken 3" starring Liam Neeson will hit the cinemas in January 2015.
Winwood and Khan's "Higher Love" is a classic duet from the VH1 cable channel,while Lauryn Vyce's "Let Me Be" was posted on YouTube a year ago.Jefferson Starship's "With Your Love" includes former Jefferson Airplane members Paul Kantner,Marty Balin and Grace Slick." Selena Gomez&The Scene's "Round&Round" was filmed in Budapest,Hungary.
I try to vary the music so we don't nod off.Have a great time with these songs.You don't even have to go out-I brought them all in here.

Catch the studio track of "Angie" in a slide show posted here.The track features a strings arrangement with acoustic guitar.The Stones also have this soft side of their music,let's not forget.It's not all rockers.

As shown in the promo,the Stones are still in the moment and hitting their notes.They wouldn't settle for anything less.*
We also have some more Tom Petty tonight in "Refugee."It's the official,original video with remastered audio bringing it into the 21st century.*

Tonight's Music:Hayley Williams and Lauryn Vyce;Sochi Winter Olympics

In tonight's music,two songbirds are featured:Hayley Williams of Paramore and Lauryn Vyce(Lauren Vogel).Williams is rapidly gaining in prominence by the day,and Vyce is aspiring.Neither of the ladies was raised in the entertainment capitals of Los Angeles or New York.Williams grew up in Mississippi and Tennessee,and Vyce in St.Louis.*
The Williams offering is "Stay The Night" by Zedd featuring Hayley Williams.The petite redhead really lights it up for Zedd.Her onscreen presence is off the charts.She understands the camera well and has a fine sense of how to use her body,which,as a veteran of several music videos and innumerable concerts,she ought to do.There could be a cinematic career in the making here,should that interest her at some point.
"Stay The Night" had more than 34 million YouTube views as of Friday afternoon.Enough said.*
Vyce is building her career out West in L.A.She is focused on the pop genre and seems to be doing all the right things.No one will be able to say she didn't explore every angle of the industry.The pipes are definitely there.Her biggest exposure so far has been her song "Do It Again" being used in one of the Sandals Resorts "living the dream" TV spots,which is still being aired after an already extensive run on national television.Tonight's "Catch Me" is a well-crafted synth pop track that is easy for radio stations to squeeze in,it is so short.*
At the Sochi Winter Olympics,the opening ceremony went reasonably well.All right,one of the snowflakes didn't turn into an Olympic ring as planned,but it's nothing the media should make a big thing of.The American athletes were pleased with the colourful Russian vision of history and culture.
Russia has sent 232 athletes to the Games-the largest delegation in Olympics history.
