Aki Harada(原田 亜希,Harada Aki, born November 6, 1982) better known by her stage name, Sowelu, is a Japanese pop/R&B singer signed onto Avex Group's label Rhythm Zone.
History
Her career started in 2002 with the release of her first single Beautiful Dreamer, a soft love ballad which did very well in the charts, and was later featured on the Relaxin’ with Japanese Lovers compilation album. Her first single was modestly successful, and it wasn't until the release of her album Geofu in the summer of 2003 that she gained recognition. Geofu did exceptionally well in the charts, scoring a number 4 position with more than 300,000 copies sold. Her first single after Geofu, "Rainbow" was used as the theme song for the Japanese drama Netsuretsuteki Chukahanten, and the other A-side song on that single, "breath ~Omoi no Youryō~" was used for the national promotion campaign of JFN Radio. She performs under Sony Music Japan's DefSTAR Records label.
Her next big single "Glisten" was used in a make-up commercial for Menards products, and did fairly well in the Japanese market. With this success, she gained even more popularity, and was asked to sing the end theme for the popular TBS animated series Fullmetal Alchemist, entitled "I Will", giving her an easy in with American fans. Because of "'I Will"', the two other songs included with her "I Will" single, "Candy Rain" and "Pearl Color ni Yurete", became popular among American fans. In 2005, her song "Candy Rain" was featured on the Soul Tree: a Musical Tribute to Toshinobu Kubota album and "Pearlcolor ni Yurete" was on the Momoe Yamaguchi tribute album Thank You For.... Likewise, her third single "Fortune" was selected for the American J-Pop compilation album Neo Soul, and "Across My Heart" written by Kenny Lerum and Barry J. Eastmond, from the Geofu album, was added to the "Smooth Listening Compilation" album.
After signing with Beluga Heights Records, Derulo released his debut single "Whatcha Say" in May 2009. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song served as the lead single from Derulo's self-titled debut studio album, which was released on March 2, 2010 and reached number eleven on the
Billboard 200. "In My Head" and "Ridin' Solo" were released as the album's second and third singles respectively. While both attained peaks within the top ten in multiple countries, "In My Head" became Derulo's first number-one single in the likes of Australia and the United Kingdom. A further two singles were released from the album: "What If" and "The Sky's the Limit".
The song was announced by Tiësto in early April. A lyric video for the track was later uploaded to the artist's YouTube channel on April 13.
British radio station BBC Radio 1 opted to play an alternative version of the song titled "Naked", which replaced every occurrence of the term "wasted" with "naked".
Music video
The song's accompanying music video was released on April 25, 2014. It runs for approximately three minutes and twenty-one seconds and is directed by Tabitha Denholm. The video features six women (Taylor Godfrey, Allegra Carpenter, Kassi Smith...) enjoying themselves. Tiësto and Matthew Koma are seen starring on a TV show called "The Tiësto Show" where Koma is also seen singing the song.
Passion is the ninth studio album by English neo-progressive rock group Pendragon. It was released as a special edition in April 11, 2011 on Madfish, a division label of Snapper Music and in regular form through Toff Records, the band's own imprint. Two packaging formats of the Madfish album exist, digi-book and super jewel case both accompanied by a DVD featuring a behind-the-scenes footage titled 'Progumentary', filmed by the band themselves during the recording of the album. There is also a two-disc, three sided orange coloured vinyl edition with gatefold sleeve.
Passion is the sixth studio album by British extreme metal band Anaal Nathrakh. It was released on May 17, 2011, by Candlelight Records. The album features guest appearances by Drugzilla, Rainer Landfermann, Ventnor and Alan Dubin.
Track listing
All lyrics written by Dave Hunt except where noted,all music composed by Mick Kenney except where noted.
Passion (re-released as Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ) is an album released in 1989 by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It is his second soundtrack and eighth album overall. It was originally composed as the soundtrack album for the film The Last Temptation of Christ, but Gabriel spent several months after the film's release further developing the music, finally releasing it as a full-fledged album instead of a movie soundtrack. It is seen as a landmark in the popularisation of world music, and it won a Grammy Award for Best New Age Album in 1990. It was remastered with most of Gabriel's catalogue in 2002.
Overview
As the soundtrack for the film, Gabriel used the resources of the organization he founded, WOMAD, to bring together musicians from the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South Asia. He worked with them to create music meant to enhance the mood of the film, but also added a modern ambient musical touch to the original pieces, producing a musical work that has influenced many musicians in the years since its release. Passion introduced many listeners to such artists as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Youssou N'Dour, L. Shankar, and Baaba Maal.
MIX, often branded on-air as Today's Mix, was a channel on XM Satellite Radio playing the Hot Adult Contemporary format. It was located on XM 12 (previously 22) and plays a mix of hit songs from 1980-present day, except for urban music. MIX was one of 5 channels on XM's platform that plays commercial advertisements, which amount to about 3–4 minutes an hour, and are sold by Premiere Radio Networks. The channel was programmed by Clear Channel Communications, and was Clear Channel's most listened to channel on XM Radio, in both cume and AQH, according to the Fall 2007 Arbitron book.

drøstlar draga

Svalinn heitir

brim og bjarg brenna

Tveimar ek Sowelu fahido
