The artists of hip hop and
pop music known as Alliance of Fire have released their official
debut single, “Get to You.” The track has been proudly published
on the Driving Records Music Group independent record label without
the involvement of the corporate music industry. Harmonic, melodic
and delivered in the tradition of the world's best-loved hip hop of
all time, “Get to You” is a single to put Alliance of Fire on the
map once and for all.
Boston's Alliance of Fire
cite as main artistic influences Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
and The Roots. Much like these legendary performers, their own sound
on “Get to You” mixes elements of hip hop and rock for a blend of
pop likely to appeal to a broad variety of listeners.
One notable difference,
however, is that Alliance of Fire cannot be called 'rap rock,' that
oft-maligned term given to heavy-metal music overlain with rap
vocals. Rather, Alliance of Fire combines highly danceable pop sounds
with electric guitars, harmonized vocals and cadenced rhymes and
lines for a result which nightclub DJs and rhythm-and-blues fans both
can agree upon.
“We are four
musicians who in the past worked together on our solo projects but
decided to do a project collectively,” write Alliance of Fire. “We
wanted to create a new sound all while having catchy melodies and
good lyrics.”
Hearing their debut single
“Get to You” for the first time is enough to tell that these
musicians are no amateurs. The production is slick, the performances
are nailed, and the songwriting is radio-ready. It's true, too, that
Alliance of Fire aren't pretending this is their first rodeo.
“Much of the
material we've had sitting in the archives for a while,” they
write. “Finally decided to release it. We feel as if the
hip-hop/rock style hasn't been done this way before.”
Asked to comment on the
overall themes of their freshman release, Alliance of Fire say
simply, “Our single is about being romantically involved with
someone, hurting them, and being willing to do whatever it takes to
get them back.”
“Get to You” by
Alliance of Fire on Driving Records MG is available at over 600
quality digital music stores online worldwide. Get in early, pop,
hip-hop and rock fans. Very early.
