"It's About Friday Night"
A decade after “Friday Night” first introduced Beck Martin to a global audience, he is still doing what he set out to do: making music, building an audience and giving people a reason to feel good.
Beck Martin is an international singer, songwriter, DJ and EDM artist whose career has been defined by music, independence, and an unwavering commitment to creating his own path. Born in Prague, Czech Republic, Beck Martin later moved to the United Kingdom and established his career in London. His work spans music, live performance, digital media, publishing and independent music entrepreneurship.
Martin began releasing music well before his 2016 appearance on The X Factor UK. His early catalogue includes the album I Love My Life, released in 2015, as well as the singles “Friday Night” and “Bad Boy.” His music has continued to evolve through successive releases, collaborations, and EDM productions, with his catalogue now including tracks such as “Monday Morning,” “To the Top,” “Evil Angel,” “Friday Night,” and the new release, “It’s About Friday Night,” created with fellow London DJ and producer DJ Asym.
His 2016 X Factor UK appearance introduced Martin and his original song “Friday Night” to a huge audience and led to the memorable “Mr Friday Night” identity that came to be associated with that performance, and Beck returning to the X Factor stage for the 2016 Finals at Wembley Arena. Today, that initial television chapter is just the spark of a much broader body of work. Martin has continued to develop his career independently, releasing new music, producing visual content, building his own creative and business infrastructure, while maintaining a substantial social-media presence over a decade. His entrepreneurial work includes New World Arts Ltd., the independent company behind his music and other creative projects. Martin has also pursued publishing, releasing 'Red Evil' in 2014, and later; 'Building a Dream', a book focused on pursuing an ambitious life on one's own terms. Music, however, remains at the center of Martin's work.
His latest chapter began with “It’s About Friday Night,” and his collaboration with DJ Asym. The new release reimagines the original “Friday Night” concept through modern electronic production, the addition of soulful female vocals, and an anthemic dance-floor sound that simply stays in your head.
Martin has described the song's message as extending far beyond Friday itself - a personal philosophy centered on valuing every moment and truly embracing life. The accompanying music video continues that vision, bringing the song's energy into a contemporary visual format. With an established catalogue, an independent creative operation, and a career that has continued to evolve beyond music and into media and entrepreneurship, Beck Martin is building forward a philosophy worth experiencing: Enjoy every moment, dance, and live each day fully.

Not only that, but he also dropped the original HITStory on streaming 14 years after its release. HITStory 2 is even more dramatic, all-encompassing, and punchy than the original, showing Hit's growth as a producer and MC over his lauded career. With guests Quavo, Dom Kennedy, Jazze Pha, Chase N. Chase, Johnathan Hulett, Ty Dolla $ign, Ab-Soul, and James Fauntleroy, there's a lot of soul and grit on the tracklist to love. - via HotNewHipHop

Becky G (@iambeckyg) - "Glitch" | @Vevo Live Performance
Vevo, the world's leading music video network, announces Becky G’s 'Official Live Performance' of “Glitch” from her album Baraja Bendita, out now. This release marks the second installment of an exclusive series of performance videos, following the previously released “2AM.”
'Official Live Performance' is Vevo’s flagship original content franchise, which creates immersive, bespoke worlds for today's top artists to showcase their talent through the power of live performance. These productions are the result of deep creative synergy between Vevo, the artist and their team, and help artists connect with their global fanbases through exclusive visuals that are tailored to their album's unique vision.
"Each song on Baraja Bendita really evokes a different kind of emotion, and I was able to channel that for each video in this project. I enjoyed expressing myself and transforming the space into something new for each song. I can’t wait for fans to experience it in this new and unique way," says Becky G.
A stark contrast to “2AM”’s soft introspection, “Glitch” is all confidence, power and sass. “Glitch” kicks off with Becky G picking the camera up off the ground and directly staring down her audience. Clad in a white bodysuit, navy sweats and black strappy heels, she executes a perfectly choreographed routine with an array of dancers surrounding her. Fiercely fitted against flashing lights, she takes no prisoners.
Becky G and Vevo previously worked together for a Vevo Footnotes video where she exclusively provides commentary break downs of the creation, lyrics, and meanings of some of her major hits including "BailĂ© Con Mi Ex.”
“We’re excited to have worked with Becky G, a trailblazing artist that not only brought so much passion to our shoot, but seamlessly blends genres and culture to empower her community and transform Latin music. Intimate and vulnerable, her performance makes you feel like a guest within Becky’s home,” says JP Evangelista, EVP of Content, Programming and Marketing, Vevo. “This video is a teaser to the bigger world of Baraja Bendita, with every video we’re releasing in our series possessing an entirely unique vibe, choreography, lighting, and energy – much like the unexpected card dealt from a shuffled deck. Our team really translated each song into a fully realized live experience, culminating the series with a final short film for the album.”
