POP SONG AND BEST MUSIC VIDEO

The Sci-Fi Fashionista’s Release Concert for Her
New Album ‘Citizen of Earth’ is Part of the 1^st Annual
Intergalactic Halloween Ball on October 24

SEATTLE – Even before the official drop of Aradia’s (www.aradiamusic.com ^[2]) 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 ^[3].” 

The 5^th 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 1^stAnnual 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.com/event/869263 ^[4].

In anticipation of the October 28 digital release of her album, Aradia released a series of fun and clever videos on her YouTube channel ^[5] 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 ^[6],” 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 ^[7],” 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.
