Billboard, the renowned music industry authority, has named Jason Crabb‘s performance with Gloria Gaynor as one of the six best moments during the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the documentary, I Will Survive.

Billboard called the collaboration on “Singin’ Over Me”a ‘stunning duet’ and highlighted it and Crabb’s involvement with Gloria as some of the best moments during the event and film. The documentary features several minutes of Crabb’s involvement and recording sessions with Gaynor during the creation of her GRAMMY winning recording, Testimony. 

The performance took place during Gaynor’s mini-concert after the premiere and was a surprise to attendees during the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, June 9, 2023.

The Betsy Schechter produced and directed documentary recounts Gloria Gaynor’s life while also chronicling her comeback journey. It is both a moving story of an artist’s resilience and a behind-the-scenes look at the music industry.

The Tribeca Film Festival, a prominent annual event that celebrates the best of independent cinema, showcased a diverse range of captivating films and memorable experiences. Crabb joined Gaynor at the film festival along with other celebrities such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Nick Jonas, Jon Hamm, Alicia Silverstone, Oscar De La Hoya, Mario Lopez, Mark Wahlberg, Milli Vanilli, and more.

Seven years ago, Jason Crabb was about to make his solo Carnegie Hall debut. Gloria Gaynor followed him on Twitter. Crabb did not believe it was her. He called his publicist to confirm her identity and then messaged the disco icon on Twitter and asked if she would like to be his guest at his Carnegie Hall debut. Gaynor responded “yes.” As they visited in the dressing room, she said it was a bucket list item for her to play Carnegie Hall, and Crabb couldn’t believe she had never played Carnegie Hall.

So, Crabb surprised her that night, and pulled her on stage to sing “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” with him. As a result, Crabb helped Gaynor check off an item on her bucket list. That was back on June 4, 2016. Now, seven years later – almost to the day – Crabb joined Gaynor at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Crabb is currently touring in support of his latest hit and EP, Good Morning Mercy.

Onyinye Nnodim, the Paris-based Nigerian recording artist, has released her latest single called “Biasom.” The song’s inspiration came to Onyinye in the wee hours of the morning when she heard someone singing in her native dialect as she was about to wake from sleep. “Biasom” is a deeply emotional and heartfelt song about love, dedication to God, and His goodness.

Onyinye’s soulful voice is accentuated beautifully by the serene melodies that accompany her, ushering in a unique listening experience. The lyrics are thoughtful and deep-rooted in Onyinye’s life experiences, allowing listeners to connect with Jesus. 

Onyinye’s passion for music and counseling has taken her from her hometown to Paris, France, where she currently resides. Her love for fostering better relationships spurred her to host Relationship GPS on Instagram and Facebook, a platform where she offers practical relationship advice to singles and couples alike.

Onyinye’s work as a counselor has equipped her with the expertise needed to give valuable insights into the intricacies of love, communication, and connection. Her commitment to serving in her local church, Dominion City, where she has served as a worship leader for 18 years, has been instrumental in honing her music skills and building her artistry.

As a recording artist, Onyinye’s sound is an amalgamation of Afro-beat and contemporary gospel, with her music aimed at inspiring and empowering people. Her powerful vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and captivating melodies have earned her a considerable following and awards. 

In addition to being a talented musician and counselor, Onyinye is also a devoted wife and mother of four. Her family is the bedrock of her inspiration, and she draws heavily from the joys and challenges of marriage and parenthood in her music and counseling sessions.

The release of “Biasom” marks another significant milestone in Onyinye’s burgeoning music ministry. To listen to “Biasom” and stay up-to-date on Onyinye Nnodim’s latest releases and performances, please subscribe to her YouTube channel and follow her on Instagram.

The Yoruba [a language predominately spoken in the western region of Nigeria] titled song translates to mean “Mystery” upon translation into the English language.

As Father’s Day approaches, it’s important to acknowledge that many men are accustomed to prioritizing the needs of others over their own. So, what better way to show them that their needs matter than by curating creative gifts and celebrating them in unique ways? Here are some fun and distinctive ideas to honour our fathers:

1. Prepare his favourite meal:

Most men have a meal that they absolutely love. Celebrate your father by preparing his favourite dish, making him feel special and appreciated. You can also try a new recipe that he’s never experienced before, but be cautious not to overdo it and risk ruining the dish.

2. Make it a Spa/Self-care Day:

Help your father relax by booking a spa session or creating a self-care routine at home. Treat him to a much-needed pedicure, massage, or other soothing activities. Utilise scented candles, aromatic oils, and soulful music to enhance the ambiance and melt away the stress he’s accumulated. 

3. Engage in his favourite activity:

Make Father’s Day memorable by spending the day doing something he loves. This shows that you recognize his interests and genuinely care about what brings him joy. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure, a sports activity, an artistic pursuit, or simply taking a walk together, cherish the moment and create lasting memories.

4. Organise a family night celebration:

Invite family members, close friends, or neighbours to a festive gathering, filled with enjoyable activities such as games, cooking, singing, dancing, and heartfelt conversations. Consider having family members take turns imitating or mimicking their dads, fostering laughter and strengthening family bonds. These shared memories will be cherished and may even become a beloved family tradition.

5. Create a DIY gift or card:

Curate a thoughtful gift or handcraft a personalised Father’s Day card. Consider something he has always wanted, a gift that symbolises his importance to you, or a reminder of a significant moment you shared together. Write a meaningful, heartfelt note expressing who he is to you, how he makes you feel, and the depth of your love. Don’t shy away from being vulnerable and genuine. Alternatively, you could create a photo album capturing special “father moments” or craft a scrapbook or artwork. These heartfelt gestures will be cherished by him forever.

Remember, whether you’re celebrating him as the father of your children or your own father, the most crucial aspect is to show him love, respect, and spend quality time together. Father’s Day is a day to prioritize his happiness and make him feel special. Celebrate fatherhood by creating lasting memories and showing appreciation for his love and support.

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS –June 15, 2023 – Today, June 15th, Dutch singer-songwriter and music therapist, Harry Kappen, releases his new single “Not All Of Us Agreed”. This song is an indictment of the rapid development of new technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence, and the many questions it raises for human beings.

The lyrics of the song provide an avenue to think about our current and future interaction with technology. It questions the reality of the news we see, if we will one day communicate with our government only through robots, and whether humans will eventually turn into algorithms.

Harry Kappen is known for his thoughtful and profound lyrics, and this track is just the latest in a long line of emotionally charged songs. Last year, he released “Wargames”, an anti-war song in response to the Ukraine war. Early 2023 saw the release of “The Freedom Inside”, a song that is an invitation to individuals to consider the great global changes that are happening around them.

“Not All Of Us Agreed” by Harry Kappen is available across all streaming services on June 15th.
