ZG Productions Biggest Event Yet!!!!!

ZG Productions had no idea that on April, 16th, 2011 we would be walking into on of the biggest events we have ever been a part of. Pacific Events transformed the La Jolla Hyatt into A custom nightclub with 7 9 x 12 foot screens which I did music video mixing on, a huge circular trussing hung from the ceiling that had a sound system projectors and lighting that looked amazing. We also had Eve Selis and her amazing bad backing me up and it was awesome. If you never tried a virtual reality machine, well they had one along with Video Games, Charming Expressions, Hair Extensions, Surf Simulator and so much else. From the moment the ballroom doors opened you could feel the excitement and the guests had that WOW look on their faces. ZG Productions was so happy to be a part of that amazing Bat Mitzvah Event!

ZG Productions CD, 2007's Will I Am "Song About Girls"

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD "SONG ABOUT GIRLS CD" HERE

In all honesty, I’ve called Will.I.Am a sell-out. It’s hard to believe the b-boy dropping verses with the Black Eyed Peas back in the day is the same guy dancing behind Fergie, but for people have heard his album have to reconsider. His solo album that was released September 2007 and still remains as one of my favorite creations. Song About Girls is musically adventurous in a way I couldn’t have imagined; a simmering stew of 70’s disco, 80’s new wave and contemporary pop that’s sometimes brilliant.

Will.I.Am isn’t the only producer making booty songs, but at least he’s got his own style. I Got It From My Mama was the lead single off Songs About Girls and while we could debate whether the “hot mother equals hot daughter” formula is true, what can’t be argued is the track’s contagious appeal. He gets the ladies feeling so good about themselves they want to show off, a far cry from the testosterone drenched bangers that treat women like cattle. Speaking of which, The Donque Song (come on will, it’s “Donkey”) is Will.I.Am's ode to “mega-ass.” The beat is a surprisingly effective combination of speaker shaking bass and 70’s disco melodies, it’s like someone brought a roller skating rink to the club. Only Snoop could rap over a song like this and the Doggfather speeds up his flow for a memorably trippy verse. These songs aren’t as catchy as My Humps, but they’re not as borderline Teeny Bopper, either. Sorry Fergie, I just call em like I see em.

One listen to Songs About Girls confirms that Will.I.Am is an expert producer. One More Chance drops distinctly island percussion over softly climbing synths and reverb-heavy guitars, it’s the kind of mad genius mixture that somehow creates a living, breathing song. Will.I.Am. continues his spacey vibe on Ain’t It Pretty, a valium-slow joint that takes the old love at first sight cliché and gives it some soul. He’s not necessarily breaking new ground on Ain’t It Pretty, but he’s certainly pushing the boundaries of hip-hop with extended instrumental jams and infusions of electronica. He hits his creative peak on She’s A Star, a haunting song that relies on Will.I.Am’s meager but distinctive vocals. Production quality, concept, lyrics, She’s A Star is the complete package. These tracks show Will.I.Am has the potential to go down as a brave musical experimenter. Songs About Girls has plenty of both.

Not many people know that the world wide hit from Estelle ft. Kanye West "American Boy" is actually a track from Will.I.Am's Song About Girl's. Will.I.Am has continued to stay at the top of the charts since his solo release in 2007 but I am very anxious to see if he is going to put out another solo projector if the future. Below is a link to download the full album.

ZG Productions Featured Artist "ADELE"

ZG Producitons loves quality music and loves to follow the budding careers of new talented musicians and recording artists! Recently we have been listening to a lot of 21, the latest album of the 22 year old London native, Adele. Although Adele is not exactly brand new to the music scene (her debut album, 19 won 2 Grammys in 2008), we want to recognize her impressive accomplishments by featuring her in today’s post! She is becoming more popular in the US as each day passes, and her sophomore album, 21 recently broke Madonna’s record of holding the number one spot on the UK album chart by a female artist for the longest amount of time! The album 21 beat Madonna’s 1990 album, The Immaculate Collection by keeping the number one position for a period of 10 weeks! What an enormous accomplishment for such a young artist with only her second album!

In a time when much of the music on the radio is packed full of fun lyrics and auto-tune, it can be refreshing to hear someone with pure and raw emotion belting out a heartfelt love song about their broken heart. Adele’s 21 is just that—refreshing. She wrote the album when she was 21 about her experience of a recent failed relationship. Her vulnerability along with her smooth voice and honest lyrics prove to be the perfect recipe for a truly beautiful and moving album. ZG Productions looks forward to what Adele will come out with next, and we wish her a long and prosperous career!

March Mitzvah Madness!!!

March was a busy month for ZG Productions with 4 Bar / Bat Mitzvah Events. We were happy to be a part of all of them but one that stood out was our March 19th Bat Mitzvah for Mara Huberman. The event was held at L'Auberge Del Mar. We started the night out with appetizers and drink on the main level patio for the 1st hour. With rain in the forecast we had to switch a couple things around, one being where we were going to hold the hora. We ended up fitting 150 plus people into an area and had Wayne Foster Entertainment ready to play for the grand entrance. Once we kicked off the grand entrance there was so many people in our hora area that they blocked the sound of my microphone for me to run the hora so I ended leading the hora with just my voice and it was great. People were dancing and it was a great way to set off the night. Next, we had the guest move a room where we had set up a video screen for the photo/video montage that ZG Productions created. Once that was finished it was up to the top deck where they had tented the whole area in and it looked and felt like you were at an Oscar's after party. The kids and adult had an amazing spread of food to choose from and I even was able to get a quick bite. An hour into dinner the kids were than escorted to the bottom level where ZG Productions transformed the room into a nightclub. From Up Lighting, Dance Floor Lighting to Glowing cubes that the guests could dance on. At the end of the night you could just feel the vibe in the room and it was great! Below is a recap of the night and ZG Productions would just like to thank and congratulate the Hubberman's!
