Ben Alessi will be performing at this summer’s Billboard Hot 100 Festival at Nikon Theater At Jones Beach, headlined by Demi Lovato and Rick Ross. Be sure to get your tix before they sell out: http://www.hot100fest.com/

Producer Ben Alessi is back with his dynamic new track “Only,” premiering today (Mar. 2) exclusively on Billboard Dance.

“Only” perfectly embodies a completely dysfunctional yet addictive relationship. Alessi’s vocals soar and weave beautifully into the atmospheric, full production, as he sings lyrics like, “Only want it when it’s not mine/ You only want me, want me when you’re high.”

Not only do we get a new track from Alessi, Billboard Dance also has a teaser to the Nnamdi Simon-directed “Only” video, expected later this month. The track follows the release of “U,” which was treated to a stellar remix by Michael Brun, and Alessi’s debut EP is set to drop in 2017. (more…)

Ben Alessi is an up-and-coming New York City singer-songwriter with a taste for the tropical and a love for the electronic. His voice is an instrument in itself on single “U” as he plays with melodies and staccato. There’s something in his delivery that says “Caribbean,” and now that Haitian-born Michael Brun has tackled the remix, it’s definitely got that island touch.

Brun turns the brightness up on the already-colorful tune. It’s bouncy and fun, the kind of tune you turn up on the perfect Saturday with friends. Just in time for the weekend. Check it out below.

Get ready to fall into a colorful hypnosis. NYC-based recording artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Alessi has released the music video for “U,” the first single off of his forthcoming EP whichBillboard Dance is premiering exclusively below.

The stunning video was directed by Nicholas Wingate, shot on Brooklyn’s iconic Coney Island and perfectly emulates what it feels like to fall in love in (and with) New York City. It’s an enchanting sonic and visual experience.

“It’s a beautiful, visual experience – a portrayal of youthful love with a technicolor twist,” says Alessi. “My team intro’d me to Nick. After seeing his work, I knew he’d pull it off, and we agreed Coney Island was the perfect world for ‘U’ to live in. Nick did an incredible job making the vision of the single come to life.”

Check out the video below. “U” will love it.

“From The Rabbit Hole” is a product of BHiMG, a new independent record label based in New York. Curated over the time it spent looking for its first acts to sign, A&R Shane Galvin felt the Rabbit Hole acts on the compilation deserved increased listenership, even if the start-up label could not sign them all. Label president Dick Wingate and managing partners Christian Cedras and Krista Retto agreed, and the compilation was born! The label intends to create a “From The Rabbit Hole” compilation every year or so, featuring different cities’ underground acts that might be below the general industry radar, but whose music and maneuvers in their local scene prove they are the rising leader in their genre.
