I know I've already raved about this single once before, but it's time I gave this a little press again. Why? Because they are releasing it over again for all their new fans they've gotten over the past year. Still though, you're wondering why I'm posting about this still? Well the answer to that one is because they are friggen awesome.
"Movie Star" was the debut single from the NYC all girl group The Glamz. They are known for being full figured and proud of it, giving a big boost to girls who feel self conscious they aren't a size zero. Since my last post about them, they have become LGBT pride icons, touring various parades and festivals around the country gathering new fans from across the country. As a followup to their recent success, they've decided to re-release their debut track for everyone to enjoy.
Megan Allen, Emma Craig, Tina Jensen, Kenya Morris make up this fantastic group, and they are not afraid to get out there and prove that sexy comes in all forms. "Movie Star" is a great example of mixing together beautiful voices and fierce fashion, and it serves as a great way to get introduced to the girls. The track is fun and poppy and is their first (but hopefully not last) venture into original music. Beforehand they did covers and mashups, but now that they've got an original track, they are starting to blow up!
The song is produced by Lemon Shark Productions and written by Michelangelo Sosnowitz. You can grab the track on iTunes in order to support these fine ladies and get us more music by them in the near future.

The Glamazons Debut Video "Movie Star" Hits The Web
It was a big step for NYC girl group The Glamazons to go from doing covers to making their own original track. Now they've taken it that one step further and made a music video. Check out "Movie Star", the debut video and single from The Glamazons.
This video has been a long time coming. I know that these girls put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this production, and it definitely shows. Creating anything from scratch is a challenge, and doing so in the music business, without major label backing, puts it on another level. That is why even though there are a few faults in the video (mainly being in the changing of quality from scene to scene), that I really appreciate this and all they put into it.
That being said, it did look like they had to shift from one camera to another during production, or perhaps even one lighting style/crew to another. There is a distinct shift in video quality from scene to scene which is a bit off-putting, but not enough to really deter someone from watching the whole thing. I also feel a bit like some of the lighting really clashed with their makeup (and not the other way around because in the clubs when you perform that's how you look) making the close-up portions look awkward.
But there are so many more good things about this video than bad. For starters, other than the small collection of clips I posted earlier, their makeup is flawless, and their outfits fit them very well. These ladies know their bodies, and being models, it's no wonder. They have a killer fashion sense as a group, knowing how to make themselves look good individually while still looking like a cohesive group.
My absolute favorite part of the video is the choreography. This video has more on point dancing than the lastest Fifth Harmony video "Sledgehammer" that came out recently, and those girls are tiny! These full figured ladies are not afraid to get out there and dance like their lives depended on it. This is clearly where they are most comfortable, and it really shows.
You can grab a copy of the single on iTunes. And let's help these ladies get the views on this video that it really deserves!

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!?
