  • ALL(H)OURS Release Their 5th Mini Album, NO DOUBT

    ALL(H)OURS Release Their 5th Mini Album, NO DOUBT

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Emerging K-pop stars ALL(H)OURS have released their fifth mini album, NO DOUBT. The central theme of the album is about pressing forward with no doubts and having strong convictions amid feelings of uncertainty and confusion. The release of NO DOUBT comes shortly after ALL(H)OURS wrapped up their first North American Fancon, ALL the HOURS. NO DOUBT was created from the energy and excitement of their touring experiences, featuring more powerful music, visuals, and performances than in their previous mini album, VCF (September 2025), marking yet another powerful comeback for the group.

    Containing six new tracks, the album opens with “NO DOUBT,” a gritty and mysterious opening track that introduces the emotional direction that runs throughout the album. Following that is the album’s title track, “DEAD MAN WALKING,” a dark trap-rock hybrid track also rooted in the witch house genre. The focus of the track is about being “dead” but still moving forward as if alive; it’s about knowing what the end will be but still moving forward while being consumed by feelings of defeat, fear, violence, and even a twisted form of pleasure. The third track, “Piece of Me,” is a hip-hop R&B track highlighted by its dreamy soundscape over a composed beat, completed with stylish melodies and rap. Continuing the introspective narrative from the title track, “Piece of Me” follows the ups and downs of love and obsession, intermittent bursts of energy, along with the feeling of suffocation from reality. The fourth track, “7 o’clock,” is a unit song featuring members KUNHO, YOUMIN, MINJE, and ON:N, and is an upbeat pop-rock track that blends band instrumentals and bright melody lines, refreshing the album’s atmosphere. The fifth track, “미쳤으니까 (Cause I’m Insane),” is also a unit track featuring the other members of ALL(H)OURS, YOUMIN, XAYDEN, MASAMI, and HYUNBIN, and draws from elements of future bass and hip-hop. The track musically expresses the attitude of holding onto one’s own truth with feelings of turmoil. The album finishes with “나의 봄, 나의 빛, 나의 숨 (My Spring, My Light, My Breath),” previously released ahead of the group’s first Fancon, written by all the members of ALL(H)OURS with the hope that it would elevate the song’s emotional resonance with their fans.

    “Our title track ‘DEAD MAN WALKING’ captures our ambitions and determination, that we will be moving forward until the very end, even in difficult and hopeless situations. In addition to this powerful title track, our B-side tracks showcase a different kind of charm, including the tracks we personally participated in composing and writing. We hope you’ll show lots of interest and love for them!”
    -XAYDEN, a member of ALL(H)OURS

    From their debut to now, ALL(H)OURS have consistently maintained their unique energy. With each release, they continue to define their musical and visual identity. NO DOUBT is yet another stepping stone in showing their artistic journey.

    ABOUT ALL(H)OURS

    ALL(H)OURS is a South Korean boy group under EDEN Entertainment. It was founded by Cho Hae-sung, the former vice president of JYP Entertainment, who managed groups such as Stray Kids, TWICE, and ITZY. As of January 2025, EDEN Entertainment became a JYP Entertainment family label.

    ALL(H)OURS debuted on January 10th, 2024, with their first mini-album, ALL OURS. The group comprises seven members: KUNHO, YOUMIN, XAYDEN, MINJE, MASAMI, HYUNBIN, and ON:N. The group name, ALL(H)OURS, is a play on the phrases “all ours” and “all hours,” which represent the group’s commitment to always giving their all in everything they do.

    The group received three Rookie award nominations from prestigious awards shows, such as Best New Male Artist at the 2024 MAMA Awards, 32nd Hanteo Music Awards, and 39th Golden Disc Awards.

  • Historic Academic Partnership Launches Women in Hip-Hop Archives & Scholarship Initiative

    Historic Academic Partnership Launches Women in Hip-Hop Archives & Scholarship Initiative

    UMass Amherst, Princeton University, and the Hip-Hop Education Center unite to elevate women’s legacies in Hip-Hop through archives, scholarship, and the arts.

    This is more than an academic collaboration, it’s a powerful reclamation. Women have shaped Hip-Hop from the beginning, often without acknowledgment or permanent record.”
    — Martha Diaz

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In a historic and unprecedented partnership, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts, and the Hip-Hop Education Center (HHEC) have launched Fresh, Bold & So Def: Women in Hip-Hop Archives & Scholarship, a bold three year initiative dedicated to celebrating, documenting, and expanding the cultural legacy of women in Hip-Hop.

    Powered by the recently donated Women in Hip-Hop Collection founded by HHEC President and trailblazing archivist and curator Martha Diaz, this initiative will activate new research, classroom learning, creative production, multimedia storytelling, public scholarship, and community centered dialogue across both campuses.

    “This is more than an academic collaboration, it’s a powerful reclamation,” said Martha Diaz, Founder and President of the Hip-Hop Education Center. “Women have shaped Hip-Hop from the beginning, often without acknowledgment or permanent record. Fresh, Bold & So Def ensures that our stories aren’t just preserved, they’re studied, uplifted, and amplified by the next generation of artists, scholars, and cultural keepers.” – Martha Diaz

    UMASS AMHERST IGNITES THE MOVEMENT
    In Fall 2025, UMass Amherst launched its first course under the initiative: Hip-Hop Cultures, taught by Dr. Whitney Battle-Baptiste, Director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Center, and Taelore Marsh, Archivist of the Irma McClaurin Black Feminist Archives. With fifty students enrolled, the course blends archival research methods with live engagement from pioneering voices including Joan Morgan, who coined “Hip-Hop Feminism,” and Michele Byrd-McPhee, founder of Ladies of Hip-Hop.

    UMass Amherst also welcomed Priscila Altivo, the inaugural Lisa Cortés Fellow, following an extraordinary gift announced by award-winning filmmaker and Hip-Hop legend Lisa Cortés at the Fresh, Bold & So Def Symposium at Lincoln Center. Altivo expands on the foundational work of India Mallard, the archive’s first official archivist, funded by the Catalyst Fund of the Society of American Archivists Foundation.

    “Our students aren’t just learning history, they’re stepping into it,” “By working directly with this groundbreaking archive, they’re recognizing the power of women’s voices and their critical role in shaping global culture.”- Dr. Battle- Baptiste

    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY EXPANDS THE VISION THROUGH PERFORMANCE & SCHOLARSHIP

    In Spring 2026, Princeton will debut Miss-Education: The Women of Hip-Hop, a dynamic course and multimedia performance lab led by Chesney Snow, Lecturer in Theater and Music Theater at the Lewis Center for the Arts, in partnership with renowned scholar Dr. Francesca D’Amico-Cuthbert, and acclaimed Hip-Hop artist Eternia.
    Students will create live performances inspired by The Lyricist Lounge Show (MTV, 2000–2001), along with podcast-style conversations featuring prominent women across Hip-Hop.

    “This collaboration pushes the boundaries of how Hip-Hop can be taught,” said Snow. “We’re centering the storytellers who built the culture but were too often overlooked.” -Chesney Snow

    PUBLIC PROGRAMS: A MOVEMENT THAT MEETS THE COMMUNITY
    Beginning in 2026, both institutions will launch a series of public symposia, conferences, and exhibitions. UMass Amherst will host the first major student-led convening in April 2026, featuring immersive installations exploring women’s contributions to dance, music, film, beatboxing, theater, and visual arts.

    As part of HHEC’s intergenerational mission, the newly formed Black Lavender Collective, a Black feminist and queer-centered organization founded in Spring 2025, will host its inaugural Black Feminist Healing Symposium.

    THE VISION: BUILDING THE FIRST INTERCOLLEGIATE WOMEN IN HIP-HOP RESOURCE

    The Women in Hip-Hop Archive, created by Diaz in collaboration with the Irma McClaurin Black Feminist Archive, is the first archive of its kind. It stands as a cultural bridge between generations of feminist thought, ensuring that BIPOC women’s perspectives are no longer marginalized in academic and artistic spaces.

    ABOUT THE HIP-HOP EDUCATION CENTER
    The Hip-Hop Education Center (HHEC) is a pioneering cultural institution dedicated to empowering individuals and communities by catalyzing social change and educational equity through research, curated curricula, collaborative programming, career and leadership training, and the development of a living archive. www.hiphopeducation.org

    The University of Massachusetts Special Collections and Univsity Archives inspires discovery through the collection and curation of cultural heritage materials for the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and beyond, contributing to the vital conversation between past and future. As part of a community dedicated to the values of diversity, social equity, and positive social change, SCUA acts through its collections, services, programs, and exhibitions to promote free inquiry; the production, exchange, and preservation of knowledge; and joy in learning.

Founded by Dr. Irma McClaurin, Black feminist anthropologist, academic administrator, award-winning poet and author, past president of Shaw University and leader in higher education, the BFA seeks to identify Black women from all walks of life who are artists, activists, and academics but may not be well known, and document their wide array of contributions at many levels: community, state, national, and global.

    ABOUT THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LEWIS ARTS CENTER
    Princeton University’s programs in Creative Writing, Dance, Theater & Music Theater, Visual Arts and the interdisciplinary Atelier form the Lewis Center for the Arts. Envisioned by former President Shirley Tilghman as an initiative to elevate the quality and expand the breadth of creative opportunities on campus. The Center serves the campus and the wider Princeton regional community through the presentation of over 100 public performances, exhibitions, readings, film screenings and lectures each year, most of them free.

    About The Miss-Education: The Women of Hip-Hop Course
    This course is an embodied exploration of Hip-Hop feminism as scholarship, praxis, and performance. At once a multimedia research lab and a performance workshop, the course positions students as both critical investigators and creative practitioners. Students will engage the contributions of women in Hip-Hop including MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill, Bahamadia, Eternia, and more. Drawing inspiration from the Lyricist Lounge Show’s theatrical hybrid (rap, comedy, sketch, and improvisation fused into music theatre), students will devise original short performances that interrogate the intersections of race, gender, class, power, and art.

  • Broadway Comes to Fawn Lake on Sunday, April 26, 2026

    Broadway Comes to Fawn Lake on Sunday, April 26, 2026

    Prepare for a lively afternoon matinée of music, energy, and unforgettable tunes as Performing Arts at Fawn Lake (PAFL) presents Broadway Hits and Showtunes.

    We’ve pledged to our members that our 2026 events program would have excitement and broader appeal to everyone, and here’s proof of that.  We are really proud to bring this to Fawn Lake.””
    — Jim Silk, PAFL President

    SPOTSYLVANIA, VA, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — This remarkable concert will showcase some of the most beloved songs ever performed on the Broadway stage. Attendees will be transported through some of Broadway’s most legendary moments. From soaring ballads to upbeat favorites, the program celebrates the magic, emotion, and excitement that make musical theater so enduring.

    Featured performers for this special concert are Soprano Cree Carrico, Broadway Actor Dwayne Clark, and Music Director Ethan Smith-Cohen. These musicians are coming together at Fawn Lake to present a unique, one-of-a-kind performance that is not to be missed.

    Soprano Cree Carrico is “a notably versatile performer” and “sensational actress” who is continuously praised by critics for her “crystal clarity at the center of every note” making it “hard to watch anyone else when she’s on stage.” As a lead interpreter of 20th and 21st century works, Carrico collaborates closely with a number of composers and librettists and performs in many premières of contemporary pieces, including but not limited to the world premieres of Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek’s Proving Up with Opera Omaha and The Miller Theater in New York, as Rosemary Kennedy in David T. Little and Royce Vavrek’s JFK at Fort Worth Opera, with subsequent performances with Montreal Opera, and as a soloist in Blake Allen’s Insomnia at Carnegie Hall. Cree received her BM from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and her MM from the Manhattan School of Music. And when she’s not onstage, she can be found making fitness fun for everyone at her online business, ButtaBeeFitness.

    Dwayne Clark is a veteran Broadway performer, director, music director, educator, and motivational speaker with a distinguished career in theatre and the performing arts. Most recently, he appeared on Broadway in the Tony Award–nominated musical Shucked, performing the role of Grandpa in the original Broadway production. Clark has appeared in numerous Broadway productions including Paradise Square, The Color Purple, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, In the Heights, Tarzan, Urinetown, Rent, and Smokey Joe’s Café. A versatile performer known for his dynamic stage presence, he has built a career that bridges Broadway, opera, concert performance, and arts education. In addition to his Broadway work, Clark performed the role of Sportin’ Life in Porgy and Bess with the New York City Opera in 2000 and again in 2002. Through this production, he traveled internationally, performing the celebrated role for audiences around the world and bringing one of George Gershwin’s most iconic characters to life across the globe. Beyond performing, Clark is deeply committed to arts education and mentorship. He has directed and music directed numerous children’s productions at Vanguard Theater, where he works closely with young performers, helping them develop confidence, discipline, and a strong artistic foundation through musical theatre. Clark is also a writer and creative developer. Alongside his wife, he created and wrote A Portrait of Ray, a theatrical production celebrating the life and music of Ray Charles, which he is currently working to bring to the stage. In addition, he is the author of three children’s books, reflecting his passion for storytelling, mentorship, and inspiring young readers.

    Ethan Smith-Cohen is a New York based music director. He’s well known in the cabaret circuit, with tons of shows at venues like 54 Below, Green Room 42 and Don’t Tell Mama’s. He’s also worked on a number of workshops for new shows, including Off-Broadway’s Unlock’d by Carner and Gregor which is set to have a regional run in Phoenix, Particle by Selda and Derek, which was a NAMT Finalist in 2025, Modern by Selda and Derek, set to have a regional run at Whitefish, MT, and Untitled by Benjamin Velez at La Jolla, CA. Previous New York credits include Pippin, Kinky Boots, R&H’s Cinderella, and A Christmas Carol. He is currently taking a short respite from rehearsals for Jesus Christ Superstar, which opens in May. Ethan graduated from Oberlin College with a degree in Biochemistry and Musical Studies.

    Highlights include:
    • Favorite songs from both classic and modern Broadway productions
    • Talented performers bringing the spirit of the stage to Fawn Lake
    A fun, uplifting afternoon for the entire community

    Whether you’re a devoted Broadway enthusiast or simply enjoy great live music, it promises to be a delightful afternoon of entertainment to share with family, friends and neighbors.

    — Nick Plummer, CEO of K2 Group

    GUILDFORD, UNITED KINGDOM, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — K2 Corporate Mobility was established in 2002 as a provider of household goods (HHG) shipping services for the mobility industry in the UK. They differentiated themselves by managing each shipment from end-to-end, taking full accountability for its departure, transit and arrival. As their reputation grew, customers sought their expertise beyond shipping, leading to their gradual evolution into an international Relocation Management Company (RMC), providing the full suite of mobility and related services.

    In order to clearly distinguish between each service group, whilst also maintaining the identity and the cohesion of the K2 brand, they have chosen to rebrand K2 Corporate Mobility as K2 Group. K2 Group is a collection of brands or service offerings, specifically K2 Relocate, K2 Bespoke, K2 X Border, K2 Indx, K2 AlphaTech, and Twelve Degrees.

    Each K2 brand shares the same values, contributes to K2’s world-class NPS® of 82 and its Great Place To Work® accreditation, and is driven by the same unwavering commitment to human-centric service delivery. However, each brand has its own speciality:

    -K2 Relocate – Delivers the full suite of relocation services across the globe, via a fully managed service model.

    -K2 Bespoke – Delivers the full suite of relocation services to organisations’ VIP or business-critical populations. Operates globally, via a fully managed service model.

    -K2 X Border – Delivers the full suite of immigration services across the globe. Services include immigration consultancy; document handling; visa application management; and permits and residency application management.

    -K2 Indx – Delivers advisory and assignment management services across the globe. Services include development of a mobility strategy; programme, policy and process design/review; policy counselling; and cost governance processes.

    -K2 AlphaTech – K2’s inhouse technology team. Delivers tailored, highly efficient and user-friendly solutions for all K2 brands and their customers.

    -Twelve Degrees – K2’s inhouse stakeholder communication agency. Delivers personalised, targeted and demonstrably impactful marketing collateral for all K2 brands and their customers.

    K2 Group continues to deliver services to customers in exactly the same way as K2 Corporate Mobility did. There is no change in the type of services delivered, nor in the style or quality of service delivery. K2’s ethos, ‘because it’s personal’, continues to define and drive each and every brand. The purpose of the rebrand is to give each K2 service offering its own identity, and to recognise K2’s evolution from its HHG shipping origins into an international group of global mobility brands.

    Nick Plummer, CEO of K2 Group, comments:

    “This rebrand gives our set of service offerings the opportunity to really spread their wings. To develop their own identity and place in the mobility world. Over the years we’ve figured out how to grow globally without compromise, so of course, ambition meets growth… All our brands remain K2 at the core and through and through.”

  • Vive Latino 2026 impulsará turismo, consumo y ocupación hotelera en la Ciudad de México

    Vive Latino 2026 impulsará turismo, consumo y ocupación hotelera en la Ciudad de México

    Vive Latino 2026 regresa con miles de asistentes y una fuerte derrama económica, consolidándose como uno de los festivales más importantes de México.

    CIUDAD DE MéXICO, CIUDAD DE MéXICO, MEXICO, March 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — La capital del país volverá a ser escenario de uno de los eventos musicales más relevantes de América Latina con la llegada del Vive Latino 2026.

    Además de su dimensión cultural, el festival se ha consolidado como un motor económico para la ciudad, con efectos directos en el consumo, la ocupación hotelera y la movilidad urbana durante el fin de semana en que se celebra.

    La llegada de miles de asistentes nacionales e internacionales suele generar un incremento en la demanda de hospedaje en distintas zonas de la capital, particularmente en áreas con alta conectividad y oferta turística, como los hoteles en Polanco CDMX.

    Vive Latino 2026: fechas, artistas y precios de boletos

    La edición 2026 del Vive Latino se celebrará los días 14 y 15 de marzo en el Estadio GNP Seguros, dentro de la Ciudad Deportiva Magdalena Mixhuca.

    El cartel confirmado reúne artistas internacionales y latinoamericanos como Lenny Kravitz, The Smashing Pumpkins, Juanes, Cypress Hill, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs y Maldita Vecindad, lo que anticipa una importante afluencia de asistentes provenientes de distintos estados del país y del extranjero.

    En cuanto a los precios, los boletos para esta edición se han comercializado en diferentes fases. Los accesos generales para los dos días del festival han partido de alrededor de tres mil pesos, mientras que las experiencias premium pueden superar los diez mil pesos, dependiendo del tipo de acceso.

    Afluencia del Vive Latino: un festival con convocatoria masiva

    El alcance del festival se refleja en sus cifras de asistencia. De acuerdo con datos de los organizadores, en las ediciones de 2024 y 2025 el Vive Latino registró más de 160 mil asistentes por edición, con jornadas que superaron las 70 mil personas por día.

    Estas cifras consolidan al evento como uno de los encuentros musicales más importantes del calendario cultural de la Ciudad de México, con un público que incluye tanto residentes locales como visitantes que viajan específicamente para asistir al festival.

    La presencia de este volumen de asistentes suele traducirse en una mayor demanda de transporte, restaurantes y opciones de hospedaje durante el fin de semana del evento.

    Derrama económica del Vive Latino en la Ciudad de México

    El impacto del festival también se refleja en indicadores económicos. En 2023, el gobierno de la Ciudad de México reportó que el Vive Latino generó una derrama económica superior a los mil 705 millones de pesos durante el fin de semana en que se llevó a cabo.

    Este flujo económico está asociado al gasto en boletos, consumo dentro del festival, alimentos, transporte, hospedaje y actividades turísticas adicionales en la ciudad.

    Sectores como la hotelería y el restaurantero suelen registrar incrementos en la demanda durante el evento. En ediciones recientes, la capital ha reportado niveles de ocupación hotelera cercanos al 69% y 70% durante el fin de semana del festival, incluso fuera de temporadas vacacionales tradicionales.

    Hoteles en Polanco y otras opciones de hospedaje

    Ante la llegada de visitantes durante el Vive Latino, zonas con buena conectividad dentro de la ciudad suelen concentrar parte de la demanda de hospedaje.

    En este contexto, alojarse en un hotel en Campos Elíseos Polanco puede resultar conveniente para quienes buscan combinar la asistencia al festival con actividades culturales, gastronómicas o turísticas en la capital.

    Dentro de la oferta de hoteles en Polanco CDMX, esta zona destaca por su cercanía con museos, parques urbanos y algunos de los corredores gastronómicos más reconocidos de la ciudad.

    Hotel Presidente dentro de la oferta hotelera de la zona

    Entre las alternativas disponibles en esta área se encuentra el hotel Presidente, ubicado en Polanco. El establecimiento forma parte de la infraestructura hotelera que recibe tanto a viajeros de negocios como a visitantes que llegan a la capital para eventos culturales, conciertos y festivales internacionales.

    La combinación entre conectividad urbana, oferta cultural y opciones de hospedaje en zonas consolidadas de la ciudad explica por qué eventos como el Vive Latino continúan teniendo un impacto significativo no solo en la escena musical, sino también en la actividad turística y económica de la Ciudad de México.

  • Oak Cover Launches Signal Over Noise, an Editorial Series on Music and Audio

    Oak Cover Launches Signal Over Noise, an Editorial Series on Music and Audio

    Vol. 1 covers seven compact instruments tested across trains, terminals, and hotel desks.

    Most audio coverage tells you what something costs and how it measures. Signal Over Noise is interested in what it does to you.”
    — Oak Cover Editorial Team

    WHITE PLAINS, NY, UNITED STATES, March 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Signal Over Noise is Oak Cover Magazine’s new editorial series on music and audio: what to listen on, what to make with, what to seek out, and how sound itself works on the mind. Each volume takes a distinct angle. Vol. 1 asks which compact instruments are actually worth bringing on the road, and which ones only look that way in a product listing.

    Seven devices made the cut, spanning a $249 to $2,299 range and representing the breadth of what portable music-making looks like in 2026. The Pocket Audio HiChord ($249) maps Nashville Number System chord progressions to seven physical buttons, removing the theory barrier from on-the-go songwriting. The Torso T1 ($699) is a matte-black algorithmic MIDI sequencer that gives producers a generative workflow independent of a laptop, built around 16 tracks, Euclidean rhythms, and 256 patterns across a screenless interface that rewards learning. The remaining five include the Teenage Engineering OP-XY ($2,299), EP-133 K.O.II ($299), Ableton Move ($449), Midicake ARP ($380), Striso Board ($700 to $800), and Intuitive Instruments Exquis ($299 to $349), covering samplers, grooveboxes, expressive MPE controllers, and hardware arpeggiators that each approach creative portability differently. Every instrument was physically handled and used across real travel conditions, on trains, in terminals, and at hotel desks, before any editorial judgment was reached. Each receives a dedicated standalone review published at oakcover.com

    Vol. 1 was built around a specific test: does this instrument earn its place in a bag? Oak Cover assessed each piece for true portability, learning curve in unfamiliar environments, tactile quality under varied conditions, and whether it supports both brief sessions and sustained work without a studio setup behind it. The category is full of products that perform well in a controlled demo. The question this series set out to answer is which ones actually travel.

    Signal Over Noise will continue across future volumes with no fixed subject. The series may cover headphones and monitors, listening rituals, spatial audio, acoustic environments, or the ways music affects focus, mood, and mental recovery. The only constant is editorial rigour and a clear point of view.

  • Zanna Records Announces ‘Live with No Regrets — Analog Rebellion,’ an Analog Recording Featuring Veteran Rock Musicians

    Zanna Records Announces ‘Live with No Regrets — Analog Rebellion,’ an Analog Recording Featuring Veteran Rock Musicians

    We want to record it the way many classic rock records were made — live, raw, and analog.”
    — Gianluca Zanna

    SEDONA, AZ, UNITED STATES, March 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Independent label Zanna Records has announced plans for an upcoming hard rock recording project titled “Live with No Regrets — Analog Rebellion.” The project, written and produced by Gianluca Zanna, is scheduled to be recorded at Clear Lake Studios in Los Angeles at the end of March 2026.

    According to information provided by Zanna Records, the recording will bring together a group of established rock musicians for a live analog session intended to capture performances in a traditional recording format.

    Zanna Records describes the project as an effort to return to a classic rock recording approach, with performances recorded live to analog tape rather than relying on modern digital production techniques.

    Origins of the Project

    Producer and songwriter Gianluca Zanna says the project has personal significance, tracing back to his early years as a musician in Italy.

    “When I was a young man in Italy playing guitar with my brother Marco, musicians like Rudy Sarzo were among the artists who inspired me,” Zanna said in a statement. “Those records shaped how I saw music. To now have the opportunity to record a song with musicians who played on many of those influential albums is something that means a great deal to me personally.”

    Zanna originally wrote the song “Live with No Regrets” in 2025. According to Zanna Records, the song’s original guitar arrangements were created by his brother Marco Zanna, who is now participating in the project as part of the recording.

    Musicians Reportedly Participating in the Recording

    According to Zanna Records, the recording session is expected to feature the following musicians:

    Kevin Martin – vocalist known for his work with the rock band Candlebox

    Robert Sarzo – guitarist and co-founder of the band Hurricane

    Rudy Sarzo – bassist known for performing with Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake and Dio

    Robin Diaz – drummer whose credits include Live, Candlebox, Chris Cornell, Peter Murphy and Daughtry

    The project will also involve Danny Saber as executive producer. Saber is a producer and musician whose past collaborations have included work with artists such as David Bowie, U2, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne and Madonna.

    Zanna Records states that Marco Zanna contributed the original guitar arrangements that formed the foundation of the song.

    Recording Approach

    Zanna Records says the session will be recorded entirely on analog tape at Clear Lake Studios in Los Angeles.

    “This project is about capturing a real performance from experienced musicians playing together in the same room,” Zanna said. “We want to record it the way many classic rock records were made — live, raw, and analog.”

    Legal and Industry Representation

    According to Zanna Records, legal representation for the project is being handled by the David Helfant Law Firm. Public relations and artist representation is provided by Jodi Jackson of JJ Entertainment in Los Angeles.

    In an email communication to the publisher of this release, Zanna confirmed that contracts with participating musicians have been signed and executed and that he has authorization to promote their involvement in the project.

    Details about the project have also been published on the official website of Gianluca Zanna.

    About Zanna Records

    Zanna Records is an independent music label based in Sedona, Arizona, founded by musician and producer Gianluca Zanna. The label reports a catalog of more than 150 original singles across multiple genres and distribution reaching over 1,000 FM radio stations worldwide.

    According to the label, its YouTube channel surpassed 19 million views in March 2026. Zanna Records states that its work has received coverage in publications including Rolling Stone, Forbes, Billboard Italia, Entrepreneur UK and Music Connection.
