SEATTLE – Even before the official drop of Aradia’s (www.aradiamusic.com) highly-anticipated full length album Citizen of Earth, the Seattle-based electronic pop artist’s fresh, trippy and infectious “roktronica” vibe is creating a huge buzz.
The multi-talented singer/songwriter is nominated for two Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA), including Best Pop Song for “Trouble” and Best Music Video (a visual media award) for “Today.”
The 5th Annual HMMAs will be held November 4, 2014 at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.
After holding a weeklong social media scavenger hunt (October 17-23), Aradia (in conjunction with Sci-Fi Commons) is holding her album release show for Citizen of Earth as part of the 1stAnnual Intergalactic Halloween Ball at the FRED Wildlife Refuge – the perfect setting for this creative and colorful, sci-fi fashionista.
Calling it “a bit geekier than the typical neighborhood bar shindig,” Aradia promises a literally Out-of-this-World Halloween party themed for everyone who loves Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Marvel or DC Comics and Steampunk. But the cool, less nerdy folks can still come and enjoy cosmic cocktails, video games, the DJ/dancing and the singer’s ethereal rhythmically charged, electrifying performance performance. Tickets can be purchased at: http://www.brownpapertickets.
In anticipation of the October 28 digital release of her album, Aradia released a series of fun and clever videos on her YouTube channel of random classic cover songs before dropping the incendiary clip for her empowering original tune “On Fire.” On September 26, she shared her video of “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” a wild performance piece with the singer on keyboards which shows what might happen if Kurt Cobain hopped in a blender with Eurythmics. On October 3, she rolled out “White Wedding,” a cover of Billy Idol’s original song, then October 10 will share a free digital download of “Like A Prayer.” The clip for “On Fire” will be officially released to the public October 28.
Also this fall, there will be a Triple A radio campaign with Twin Vision for songs from Citizen of Earth.
Aradia is sure to make waves across the curious universe with a unique sound that blends rock, pop, trip-hop and electronic; her sound has been likened to an otherworldly mix of Donna Summer, Trent Reznor, David Bowie and George Harrison.
Citizen of Earth is a unique collection of songs reflecting dark and light, featuring what Aradia calls “musical images of intense situations and the feelings they evoke.” Her multi-faceted music and dark/light sensibilities are just the foundation for the whole aesthetic of Aradia’s artistry, which includes crafty costuming, a dynamically choreographed stage show and the occasional shock value moment in the tradition of Madonna and Lady Gaga.
