Gallant Pays Tribute to Prince

Some devastating news hit the music community as word spread about Prince’s death at the age of 57. Multiple artists spoke about his passing on social media sites expressing their condolences and grief. It was clear to all that Prince was nothing short of a legend to the industry and he will never be forgotten. With Coachella weekend two occurring over the weekend, many were wondering who would pay tribute to the king during their live performances. Many artists decided to step up to the plate and pay tribute, a favorite here at RisingMusicTalent.com decided to do it twice. Gallant got tweeted by a fan earlier in the day asking if he would pay tribute to Prince and he replied, “There is absolutely nothing that an amateur like me could EVER do that would even come close to tribute enough.” Gallant proved himself wrong when himself and Jhene Aiko covered Prince’s “Diamonds and Pearls” at the end of Gallants set. Later in the night, Gallant also joined Sufjan Stevens to cover Prince’s “Purple Rain” to end the set. It’s clear as one of the greats passes another one is stepping up to fill their shoes. Gallant is one of the most popping artists of 2016, I have said it before and I’ll say it again, don’t expect to hear the end of Gallant anytime soon – this kid is the real deal. Check out the videos below of the tribute to Prince at Coachella and see for yourself, this is pure talent.  

ZHU x Kaskade - In The Morning (Remix)

It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from one our favorites here at RisingMusicTalent, ZHU, but last week he posted a picture to his social followings of a vinyl record with Kaskade’s logo on it. This picture caused some speculation on blogs and social media but today we have our answer. ZHU and Kaskade team up and drop a remix of ZHU’s original track “In the Morning.” If this isn’t ‘vibes’ then I am not sure what else you could be looking for. ZHU is performing at Coachella this weekend and the following weekend for probably one of the most anticipated performances of his career. If you are attending be sure to expect the unexpected as I am sure ZHU will be pulling out all the stops. ZHU will go on tour following the Coachella performance and hit all the top cities, hopefully we will be hearing more from the man behind the scenes soon!

He singly handedly has captured the interest of his massive following to constantly wonder what’s coming next. Every it seems ZHU is able to do something so original that it creates constant eyes on him attention.

MOAG Artist Gallant Releases Ology April 6th

Mind Of A Genius record label, home to the artist ZHU and newly added group THEY, has been making noise all year. They’re about to keep their streak going when their R&B artist, Gallant, drops his first full-length album, Ology. Gallant is known for his picture painting lyricism that could easily be considered true poetry. It is backed by his incredibly bone chilling voice that reaches heights you could not imagine by the looks of him. Gallant stepped into the game a couple of years ago dropping his EP that turned some heads, but now focused and more ready than ever I guarantee this album will make his name known around the world. Zane Lowe, Beats 1 radio host, endorsed Gallant and released a single for Ology, Weight In Gold, as a premiere the show. Gallant is one of the most talented artists I have heard and it is no surprise that his name is popping up on just about every festival lineup for the summer. He is joining ZHU on his Neon City tour that is kicking off later this April, and you will definitely regret missing the chance to see these two perform. ZHU is the man behind the production for the album Ology, who is the farthest thing from a stranger to the EDM world. ZHU shows off his talent and diversity as an artist combined with Gallants pure talent as an artist is truly going to be something special. Listen to Weight In Gold below and scoop some tickets to the tour this spring!
