  • Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA (1888PressRelease) October 04, 2014 - Today's independent musicians are taking control of everything from record distribution to the recording process itself, and pop artist, Avalonne, is no exception. For her latest single, "The Pressure (On the Run)", and forthcoming EP, "Alpha", she trades in the typical, high-tech recording studio in favor of a minimalist, Eco-friendly home setup.

    "The Pressure (On the Run)" is a sweeping, synthpop track about how the stress of everyday life can affect even the truest of love. Avalonne sings, "We're just young, dumb, in love...and on the run," and pleads in the middle of a rap verse, "Can we please keep running?"

    The "green" single was recorded in Avalonne's home studio using Apple's Logic software and a low energy microphone, eliminating the need for extra, power-guzzling equipment. This method of recording is a drastic change from her last single, "Like A B*tch", which was recorded in Los Angeles, in a professional recording studio, with Nipsey Hussle's engineer, Wizzo.

    In addition to taking a socially-conscious approach to recording, Avalonne is also hoping to inspire more people to make music by incorporating Apple Loops into each song on "Alpha". While many music producers shy away from using Apple Loops in their work, due in part to their availability to all GarageBand and Logic users, this won't be the first time that the public has heard Apple's prerecorded sounds in pop music; Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Usher's "Love in This Club" both prominently featured Apple Loops, sparking numerous debates among producers about their use in commercial music.

    "I started getting really serious about making music after buying my first Mac and experimenting in GarageBand, and it changed my life," says Avalonne, "I want to show people what they can accomplish with tools that they may already have."

    Avalonne's new EP, "Alpha", is set to release in January 2015, while "The Pressure (On the Run)" will be available on iTunes and other digital stores on October 24, 2015.
