NYC Girl Group Glamazons Give Us "Moive Star"

No, no. This isn't the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race season four. This is a hot new (well kind of) girl group out of NYC that is ready to serve up their debut single on a hot plate for all the world to see. If you've been a fan of America's Got Talent, then the name might sound quite familiar, and their message of talent coming in all shapes and sizes will definitely strike a chord with all listeners. Why don't you check out their single "Movie Star"?


Meet Tina, Emma, Kenya, and Megan. These ladies may not be the original Glamazons, but surely they will become just as beloved and remembered as their reality TV predecessors. What I really like about the song is that they sound amazing, both together and separately.  I love the way they blend together with one another and how they mesh as a group. It is obvious that there is a lot of chemistry within the group, which is essential to the survival of any pop act.

What I don't like is the composition that is supporting their vocals. It's not bad, but it feels like it is missing something. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but the back track doesn't feel as full as I could see it being with a few tweaks. It's not exactly enough to deter me from loving the song, though, which really saved the project for me in the end.

I think what really makes this group something special is their message. They are more than just a pop act, they are real women. Tina, the sort of spokesperson for the group, gave me a great insight into what the group is all about:

"We are set on proving that no matter what shape or size, color, gender, sexual orientation you are you can live fearlessly and embrace who you are. Defy the standards of what normal is.  For anyone that has ever been told "no" before...we will rise up, celebrate, and proudly shake what our mamma gave us."

That's not all, either. If you've been checking out their FB page, you've probably seen hints dropped here and there that "Movie Star" is getting a video released with it, but I have some solid proof of this based on some of the tasty inside bits Tina gave to me.

"We just filmed the music video with Mattioli Productions, an LGBTQI centered production company and it will be ready for the fans by November 1st!  It's going to be super fun, glamorous of course, and we even snagged a Ferrari! We can't wait for it to be released!"
OK now even I am excited! For now, grab the single on iTunes. Keep on the lookout on their official Facebook page for the new video that is due out within the next two weeks. You guys ready for this!?
