Intimate can be loud. Rambunctious can be endearing. Heartfelt can be lighthearted. POWERS introduced themselves to the world on that premise. And it listened. Their recent romping bursting, single, "Beat of My Drum" shot up to the top of the Hype Machine popular page instantaneously after its summer release, and found itself on top of Spotify's viral charts and iTunes Emerging Artists spotlight. Following up with an equally impactful, "Loved by You", the 2 most recent releases have garnered nearly 5 million plays in just two months. The band's first track last fall was featured globally on ad campaigns for J. Crew & Mastercard. Indie Shuffle has called them "Infectious and damn right catchy", and Stereofox encouraged us to look up indie-pop in the dictionary (they said we'd find the song there - we did).
POWERS is Mike Del Rio and Crista Ru. If you haven't heard their names, rest assured, you've heard their tunes. After Mike Del Rio inked a publishing deal with Alex Da Kid (Rihanna's "I Love the Way You Lie", Imagine Dragons), his writing and productions started popping up on TVs, playlists and radios everywhere. After working with top pop artists such as Selena Gomez, Kylie Minogue, & Cee Lo Green, Mike most recently made waves by producing the anthemic X Ambassadors ft Jamie N Commons & Jay Z "Jungle" and executive producing The Knocks "So Classic" EP (of which POWERS wrote and featured on the title track "Classic"). On the flip side of this creative powerhouse is writer Crista Ru. Aside from lending her breathy vocals and exquisite toplining to POWERS, her credits read like a who's who of the recent pop landscape. From penning the lead tune from Selena Gomez's most recent release to working with Swedish pop duo Icona Pop, Ms. Ru has a poignant knack as an artistic muse and a searing-hot songstress, stirring the two together to create electrifying performances.
With a versatile background in crafting both sonic and melodic textures, it's clear that this LA duo is poised to continue their blossoming ascent as these two tunesmiths are doing classic popular songwriting with a biting and prescient sense of modernity. With POWERS, one listen will loop your ears and your heart. And in 2015, that's a rarity that you're going to want to hit repeat on over and over again.
