SPOTLIGHT
Mizz Nina
(http://twitter.com/mizznina1780; http://www.facebook.com/officialmizznina): Malaysia’s “IT” girl, who has opened for Bruno Mars, Usher, Justin Bieber and most recently Flo Rida, has just unleashed her new single, “Take Over,” featuring Flo Rida and produced by KOOLADE. The track, a club banger, is already on the way to becoming an international smash. Upon its release in March of last year, her debut single, “What You Waiting For,” racked up a whopping 600k in mobile downloads in a matter of weeks, making it the first English-language Malaysian single to have that distinction. Her latest collaboration is poised for the same if not greater success. Be sure to check out the song and video here.


ON DECK
Kiyana:
Can you remember the last time R&B produced a bona fide star? One whose soulful voice, powerful lyrics, authenticity, passion, honesty and energy had her poised to become the voice of a generation? That time has come once again. And 21-year-old Atlanta newcomer Kiyana is the real deal. Her “Take Me Away” single has generated over 4,500 spins at Urban, enough to make it the #1 played indie record at the format, while notching up 125k YouTube plays to date. Additionally, her mixtape has been downloaded 150k times. Check out her mixtape here, and “Take Me Away” on YouTube here. Could Kiana be the next Aaliyah?

BAND SIGNING
Wheels favorites Imagine Dragons have just inked a deal with Interscope. We hear it came down to Jimmy Iovine’s empire and Superball Music. Congrats, fellas! Imagine Dragons is managed by Mac Reynolds.
