Usher Has No Problem With Endurance - Carerra's Style


The prestigious sunglass brand Carrera; famous for their fashion and sporty eyewear, appear in Usher's latest single “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)”. In the video, Usher wearing the 80's inspired "Endurance" style sunglasses by Carrerra, are 80's style retro with their recognizable drop shape.

Usher Raymond IV (his real name) was born in Dallas, and has sold more than 40 million records worldwide since his first album “Usher” was released in 1994. He has won several Grammy Awards and performed duets with Sean Combs, Beyonce and Will.I.Am, to name a few. In addition, he has signed young, new talent 15 year old Justin Bieber. Bieber started singing just three years ago. He was discovered on YouTube after posting videos from a local singing competition. Bieber's big break came when he met Usher by chance. He auditioned and was offered a recording contract by Island Def Jam's L.A. Reid. All signs are looking up and positive for Usher... perhaps Usher has the next Jesse McCartney on his hands.

With his song, “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)”, from his new CD, Usher is already outperforming American classics in the charts. “Raymond Vs. Raymond”, will be available on-line and in the best CD stores by March.
The music video “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)”, directed by Chris Robinson, shows the life of the R&B Singer, businessman and artist all in one, dedicating time to his brand, his music and his reversals. The video also shows the artist, considered as an American sex-symbol by the people, trying to preserve his private life and give his faithful girlfriend all the attention she needs.

Alicia Keys in Carerra; Looking Good With A Broken Heart


If you have ever had a good relationship "gone bad," you will love to cry (and hum) to the new song “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart," by Alicia Keys; which is the latest single from her new album The Elements of Freedom.

In the (new) video clip, Keys plays a seductive and modern heroine who has extraordinary powers. These powers allow her to save the lives of all people, except for the person she loves for whom her arms turn into a deadly weapon. Keys who stars and sings in the video is fashionable in "modern" retro everyday wear; including wearing a pair of really cool retro inspired Panamerika 1 sun glasses by Carrera. The Panamerika 1 sun glasses from the Carrera Vintage collection are inspired by the style of the 1980s and immediately catch your attention because of their unique metal frame in the form of a tear which makes them recognizable at once.

Fashionistas be warned ... if you want to be ahead of the fashion curve, the Carrera look is starting to spread among many music stars. Fashion icon and singer Britney Spears for example, is wearing Carrera glasses in her clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkr7phyrvNY

Key's talent is confirmed worldwide as a 2-time Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist (and actress,) and her voice has often been called one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. I love Bob Dylan’s quote about Alicia Keys. “There’s nothing about that girl I don’t like,” he told Rolling Stone in 2006 when asked why he had mentioned her in Thunder on the Mountain, the opening song of his Modern Times album.

Suffice it to say; "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” will surely be a new success for Key's. Everone loves a good love song, a good crying song and a good voice.
