This week’s music program introduces new singles from Charlie XCX featuring Rita Ora and Imagine Dragons, as well as the latest album from beloved Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin, which are highlights in the British music market. Bardiya Afshin, Wednesday, February 11, 2015: New releases in the British music market from Radio Farda. The single 'Doing It' by English singer-songwriter Charlotte Aitchison, known as Charlie XCX, has been released recently, featuring English-Albanian singer Rita Ora, who previously topped the UK charts in 2012 with hits like 'Hot Right Now,' 'R.I.P,' and 'How We Party.' According to Charlie XCX, she and Rita Ora experienced a dangerous incident while filming the music video. Charlie mentioned in an interview with Metro magazine, 'This Barbie truck almost killed us.' Apparently, the pink vehicle that Charlie and Rita drive in the music video had an accident, but the passengers were not seriously harmed. The song 'I Bet My Life' by the American alternative rock band Imagine Dragons, released last fall, has made its way into the British music market this week. This track has been used for the new advertisement of the Jeep vehicle and Sprite soda. The band’s lead singer, Dan Reynolds, stated that the song discusses his difficult relationship with his parents and how it remains strong despite adversities. Imagine Dragons was formed six years ago in Las Vegas and gained fame with songs like 'It's Time' and 'Radioactive,' winning a Grammy for Best Rock Performance in 2013. Latin pop star Ricky Martin has released his tenth studio album this week, titled 'A Quien Quiera Escuchar,' which he announced about two months ago with a short video on social media. In another video, he revealed the song titles to his fans by writing them on paper in front of the camera. The main single 'Adiós' was released last fall in English, Spanish, and English-French versions. The 43-year-old artist began his artistic success over two decades ago with his self-titled album in South American countries, and by 1998, the song 'Livin' La Vida Loca' became a global party anthem. Ricky Martin's previous albums have sold over 55 million copies to date.
