Black Gs - Dile Covid (Official Music Video) Premieres April 24 , 12.00am

About Black GSBorn and raised in River state, Nigeria, Black Gs didn’t know his potential in music until his grandmother heard him sing one faithfulmorning and recognized the talent in her grandson. She immediatelybrought him to church and got him involved in the choir of the church. It was there that Black Gs’ talent was nurtured and his potential was brought out for his whole congregation to sing. As his confidence started to rise, he started to realize how musically inclined he was, where rhytms and beats were something he managed to follow with ease. It was his overall love for music that pushed him to continuously improve himself. He would listen to various artists from the US and from Africa to develop his musical culture. Even after establishing himself to his current status, Black Gs still feels that he could expand and improve himself by learning from the best. Michael Jackson was an inspiration to him which drove him to not only sing but also dance during his performances. It cannot be denied today that Black Gs amazes his audience with his heavenly voice and dancing skills.Stay Tune to Dile Covid ( Official Music Video Premieres 24 April 2020 ; 12:00am. ) * Project by The Giving Bank* In collaboration with aforadio* Distributed by Universal Music Nominated as “best Pop act” at BITE MY MUSIC GLOBAL  AWARD in 2012. Nominated as “best collaboration” at the African Entertainment Awards (AEA) in 2012.Awarded  “best Pop/Rnb” artist of the year at the African Entertainment Awards (AEA) in 2012.Awarded  “Rnb artist of the year” at the Global African Music Awards (GAMA) in 2012.Won the CLUB RECOGNITION award by VOGUE CLUB in 2012. Featured as  “Best New Act” in AfroAsia Magazine, issued in 2013.Nominated “artist of the year” at the African Social Awards Malaysia in 2016.Songwriter and singer on the track  “Safe Train” by the Vessbroz; which won best original song category by Indiewise USA (Industry boost competition in 2016).Opened for one of the most recognized Nigerian artist in the world “WizKid” live in Malaysia, in 2016.Featured in the international album “LOST” released in 2017 by the Vessbroz which ranked #69 on DUTCH ALBUM TOP 100 in 2018.First Nigerian artist to perform live on Malaysian National TV (TV1, RTM [Selamat Pagi Show]) Appeared in more than ten TV commercialMade his debut Movie appearance in “Crazy Rich Asians” commonly known as the first movie produced by Hollywood featuring an Asian dominant cast.

#JANGANKELUAR delivers important message!

Since the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) on March 18, Malaysians have been frequently advised to stay home to help curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus.Everyone hope that the situation will recover soon and we will eventually be able to return to our normal daily lives. To achieve that, the choice is in our hands.Therefore, to show support to our government's effort, the recording company, Universal Music Malaysia & Def Jam Malaysia has come up with a special project through a hip hop song, #JANGANKELUAR.Watch the video below :  17 Various Artists – #jangankeluar (OFFICIAL MUSIC LYRIC VIDEO)Interestingly enough, this campaign-based project brings together 17 different singers in terms of genre and musical background in one song. Among those involved are Shila Amzah, Yonnyboii, Hafiz Hamidun, Rabbit Mac, Shalma Eliana, Sophia Liana, Alvin Chong and Bella Astillah.Besides those listed, Luca Sickta, Kmy Kmo, Tuju, KOWACHEE, ASYRFNSIR, Abubakarxli, Siqma, DOLLA and Malik Abdullah are also involved. All the singers performed at home before these performances are incorporated into a song. In fact, each singer has also been assigned a 'key' according to the parts they have to sing. Luca Sickta said it is a call out to the public asking them to stay at home during the MCO. “This song is a project that brings together 17 artists including myself and Kmy Kmo. It is a reminder for the public to comply with the rules in order to break the Covid-19 chain. “The original song was produced by Jkei and written by Yonnyboii and the additional lyrics was done by me, Kmy Kmo and Tuju."The song was created with the hope that people will be more cautious and not to take the current situation lightly," he said. Luca Sickta also mentioned that the rapping or Rap Sing in the song was done by a designated singer. “I would say that the vibes of this song are more towards urban R&B and pop. Each singer brought in their own singing style but still following the key that was set. “Even though the recording was done separately by each singer, it was not a problem for me.  By that I mean that I consider this a very special project in terms of lyrics, message and the production,” he said. Meanwhile, the singer who normally sings spiritual songs, Hafiz Hamidun considers his involvement huge. “As Malaysians, no matter who we are, should utilize the expertise and creativity that we possess for good use. Even as a singer, it doesn’t mean that I can't contribute to good cause."Although it's just a line, I consider it a big contribution. When I got the demo from Universal Music Malaysia, I was thinking to myself that this will be my first time singing the Hip Hop genre. But it doesn’t feel strange since the song features a fresh melody," he said.For a De Fam band member, Sophia Liana, the song is hoped to inspire Malaysians to continuously adhere to the government's order to stay home.“My hope for this song is for it to inspire all Malaysians to stay put at home.” “We hope that we will be able to break the chain of the Covid-19 virus quickly and we will be able to return to our normal lives as soon as possible.”Sophia Liana, who did the song recording via her cellphone said, "There will also be donations made to this project to be given to government-approved charities.” Meanwhile, the actor and singer, Alvin Chong, hopes the awareness on the importance of staying at home will increase through the song. “#JANGANKELUAR is a song dedicated to remind everyone to always stay put at home. Many frontliners are now risking their own lives to save us and the Covid-19 victims.” “I am very happy to know that Universal Music Malaysia has offered me to be involved in this campaign. One of my goals in life is to sing and give back to the community at the same time.” “There is no doubt that the Covid-19 incident has affected the public tremendously. I hope it will be gone soon and we will be able to get back to our old lives and feel safer,” he said.Another great thing about the project is it has the full support of Spectrum Outdoor Marketing and Yoodo, a digital mobile service.The Head of Yoodo, Chow Tuck Mun said the project was not solely for entertainment but more importantly was the message it conveyed. “Yoodo is proud to support #JANGANKELUAR. It not only brings great and catchy entertainment, but also an important message to all Malaysians, especially in current situation. "In conjunction with this project, Yoodo offers free mobile data to enable everyone to enjoy entertainment and connect with one another," he said.The #JANGANKELUAR song is available on all digital platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, KKBox, Deezer, Joox and Apple Music starting April 14, 2020.

Meet Mxmtoon

mxmtoonShares New Track “fever dream”On her 2019 debut album the masquerade, 19-year-old singer/songwriter mxmtoon delivers what she calls “rhyming diary entries”: an off-the-cuff account of her most private thoughts and feelings, usually dashed off very late at night, straight from her brightly lit brain. In her deliberate refusal to hide behind metaphor, the now Brooklyn-based artist otherwise known as maia achieves a quiet bravery, an unrestrained honesty that gives voice to those who often go unheard.“When I first started making music it felt like an escape from my day-to-day life, where I’d have to put on a mask to hide what I was really feeling,” says maia in reflecting on the title to the masquerade. “Writing songs was a way to express all the things I couldn’t talk about in face-to-face interactions, and share them with a community of people who maybe also needed to put up a façade to get through the day.” Newly relocated from her native Oakland, maia is currently at work on a pair of back-to-back EPs due out later this year with the first single the spellbinding “fever dream.” With its soaring chorus and shapeshifting textures, the song finds mxmtoon executing her sound on a far more sonically adventurous scale than she’s ever explored before. maia gives some insight into the song telling us “launching myself into the music industry was a rollercoaster chapter in my life, and even still i’m extremely new to this world. “fever dream” is about exactly that, and the leap of faith that’s required when you make decisions in your life at different points. you may not always know the outcome, but trusting yourself, allowing yourself the opportunity to take risks, and the chance to face new challenges can be utterly rewarding. much of my life since has felt like a fever dream, a blur of moments sometimes too grand to even comprehend, but i wouldn’t have it any other way.”Over the past couple of years, maia has built a remarkable bond with her audience entirely on the strength of her resonant songwriting and unaffected presence. Her 2018 debut EP plum blossom clocked more than 100 million streams on Spotify alone—not bad for songs recorded by herself in her parents’ guest room. She’s now amassing millions of followers and subscribers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, making a point of using her ever-growing platform to speak out on issues close to her heart. “As a young bisexual woman of color from a family of immigrants, a lot of current events directly affect who I am,” says maia, who’s mixed Chinese-American. “I firmly believe it’s my obligation and opportunity to speak on issues that affect us all.”Since the release of the masquerade—as well as its accompanying original Spotify podcast and graphic novel—mxmtoon’s following has only continued to flourish. Boosted by glowing praise from the likes of The New York Times and The New Yorker (who lauded her songwriting for showing an “emotional sophistication that reminded us that there are some things we never outgrow”), the album’s breakout success recently saw maia embarking on her first-ever UK tour. In addition, she’s now gearing up to support Lauv on his forthcoming spring tour of Asia.    Despite the grander scope of “fever dream”—an element amplified by her notably more powerful vocal command—mxmtoon’s upcoming output carefully preserves the warm intimacy that’s always defined her material. As evidenced on the masquerade, she possesses a singular talent for turning detailed narrative of the most mundane moments into songs with deep meaning—a transformation propelled by her delicate melodies and utter aversion to self-seriousness. Made in collaboration with musician/producer Robin Skinner (aka Cavetown), the album offers such standouts as “prom dress”: a layered meditation on expectation and disappointment penned by maia in a moment of sheer frenzy (“I ate a Double-Double from In-N-Out and then couldn’t fit in my prom dress and started having a panic attack,” she explains).On songs like the impossibly breezy “seasonal depression,” the masquerade reveals mxmtoon’s rare gift for illuminating experiences typically unrecognized in pop music. “I wanted to be honest about the feeling of waking up and having no desire to do anything with your day—but then also maybe help people feel a little better and lighter when they’re stuck in that gray moment,” she says. Meanwhile, on the album’s showstopping centerpiece, mxmtoon presents a particularly confessional track called “my ted talk.” “I find myself writing all these songs about romantic relationships, which is ironic considering I’ve had very little experience with that,” says maia. “That song came from me asking, ‘Am I even allowed to write something I barely know anything about?’ But I’ve realized that my songs are a way for me to untangle my emotions and try to make sense of what I’m going through, even if I don’t fully understand it in the moment.” In each piece of music she creates, mxmtoon matches her lack of artifice with the graceful musicality she first honed by studying violin and cello as a child. After writing her first song with two friends for a music class at age 13, she continued writing on her own but mostly kept her output to herself. In 2017, Maia began posting her music on SoundCloud, first only sharing her comedy songs but eventually uploading a heart-on-sleeve track called “feelings are fatal.” “At the time I was like, ‘Whatever—I have 200 followers, I’m just gonna post it,’” she recalls. “But then people really responded to it, which made me realize that I needed to keep my music as candid as possible, because that’s what people connect with.” As her recent touring has shown, mxmtoon relentlessly brings that unabashed candor to her disarming live performance. Her first ever headline US tour sold out months in advance in part to her army of fans across social media platforms. In the past year, she’s augmented her live set to include a drummer and guitarist/keyboardist/background vocalist, a shift that’s paradoxically made each show all the more intimate. “Having my band frees me up to interact with my audience in a way that I can’t normally do if it’s just me up there with my ukulele,” she says. “It’s been so much fun, and I’m excited to keep elevating the live show as I keep touring.”In her endless effort to create true connection onstage and in her music, mxmtoon has attained an undeniable solidarity with her listeners, ultimately providing some much-needed solace for the shy, the sensitive, the routinely underrepresented. “When I listen to my first album, it feels like a musical of the things I’ve gone through and the life inside my head,” says Maia. “I hope people come away from it feeling like the songs belong to them too—like now there’s a piece of art in the world that speaks to their own experiences, even if they’d always felt like they were alone.”About mxmtoon(born July 9, 2000), also known as Maia,  American singer-songwriter and social media personality from Oakland, California, known for singing and playing the ukulele. Her 2018 self-released EP, plum blossom, recorded in her parents' guest bedroom, has been streamed over 100 million times. Her 2019 international tour has nearly sold out, and her debut album the masquerade was released in September 2019.Website Facebook InstagramTwitterYoutube Channel

R&B songstress Nadhira bounces back with a brand new track “Kau Selalu Ada feat. B-Heart”

2018 was a rather silent year for Nadhira with the release of her single, ‘Hold Me Down’ via Warner Music Malaysia in February of that year being the only release from the R&B songstress. It was as though she had only managed to grace the surface of scene she knows so well. She did some club shows, did one or two collaboration tracks but it was complete silence right after with many new artists mushrooming and overtaking her.In this time of silence, she realigned, refined and redefined what it meant to be an artiste in the industry here in Malaysia. Observing and strategizing all this time while more and more artistes are churning out material. Almost a year later, the solitude gave birth to ‘Kau Selalu Ada’, a dual-language neo-soul track fused a taste of the Nusantara sound. The track features a 16-bar breakdown where popular rapper, B-Heart, a protégé to the legendary ‘Malique of Too Phat’ can be heard ‘spittin’ bars’ as how the hip-hop community would call it.‘Kau Selalu Ada’ was co-written by Nadhira with Asfan Shah & B-Heart. The track was produced by legendary R&B producer, rafikoncept, who has worked with artistes like Hunny Madu, One Nation Emcees & Lufya Omar. In the early stages of conceptualization of the song, it had a very traditional harmonic minor tune which slowly morphed into a more modern and current trend of alternative R&B as it went along. Drawing influences from international artistes like Sabrina Claudio & NIKI, brought forth the creation of the song.‘I wanted to write a song that depicts what I truly seek for in love; a two-way love affair, sung mainly in my mother tongue. I wanted to get in touch with my roots and connect it to my art, in both language because I’ve never done anything like this before. This is the me now. I really love hip-hop and R&B so the way this came together perfectly really represents who I am right now’, says Nadhira.Every new release should always be complemented with a music video. The music video was shot by ATG (who’s recently worked with Zamaera & Lil’ Asian Thiccie) and styled by socialite/photographer Bibo Aswan. The concept of the music video shows both Nadhira and B-Heart as strangers who keep crossing paths in the city that eventually end up being together. The ‘money shot’ as professionals call it would be the studio sequence where Nadhira is seen dancing among giant sheets of fabric clad in a gold dress. B-Heart, on the other hand is ‘trapped’ within the sheets and reveals himself but never in the same space until the closing scene of the video.On 30th November 2019, Nadhira & B-Heart performed to an intimate crowd of friends and family at the NOSCLO Concept Store in SS15, the flagship store of the local streetwear brand who was also the main sponsor of the music video. The artistes performed 8 songs in total with B-Heart kicking it off with 3 of his originals (Sembilu, Bilang Mama, Apa Lagi Yang Tak Kena?) followed by a duet with Nadhira (cover of Drake’s From Time), and then performing the single, ‘Kau Selalu Ada’ together. The performance was then closed with Nadhira performing 3 of her originals (Feel That, You Got Me & Hold Me Down). A special preview of the music video was also held giving the audience first dibs before the official release of the video on 6th December 2019.Listen to the single, ‘Kau Selalu Ada’ hereWatch the official music video for ‘Kau Selalu Ada’ here

An Honest Mistake Releases Their Latest Christmas Track - Mistletoe Is For Quitters

All I want for Christmas is you! Yes, it’s that famous Mariah Carey tune everyone knows so well; so good that, An Honest Mistake had put their own spin of the song on their 2016 EP, ‘An Honest Christmas’. The EP featured 4-tracks, 2 of which are originals and 2 cover songs which featured Daiyan Trisha, So I’m Jenn, Nick Davis and ex-Singapore Idol contestant, Daphne Khoo aka Haneri.This year, the band has taken on the challenge of putting out yet another Christmas track, titled, ‘Mistletoe Is For Quitters’. It is a song made popular by pop rock group, ‘Forever The Sickest Kids’. While the instrumentation on the original track features the piano and the acoustic guitar, An Honest Mistake did the complete opposite by adding overdriven guitars, energetic pounding of the drums, ultimately making it a full-on rock song.Here’s what the band has to say about the motivation behind putting out the song; ‘We just wanted to continue this trend of putting out Christmas songs in Malaysia, mainly because nobody’s doing it. Plus, it’s a reason to celebrate. It’s the holidays, and we’re celebrating time together with the family and loved ones. The lyrics of this track just resonated so much with us. The line, ‘I’ll be home for Christmas, you can count on me’, just tugged a little on our heart strings. The vocal harmonies were really fun to tackle in the studio as well. We took it as a challenge to push ourselves to do a little more. We wanted to show that Christmas isn’t irrelevant in Malaysia. Of course, there’s no snow and popular songs like ‘Frosty The Snowman’ would have very little meaning to us but coming home to loved ones? Who wouldn’t resonate with that? No matter what your background is, Christmas is an all-around celebration for everyone’.Together with the release of the track is a music video shot by Navin Daniel of Aperture Bear Productions who happens to also be the band’s videographer. The music video also showcases the band’s latest addition, Sonny Wan on bass. This also marks the departure of long time guitarist, Leonard Chua and the shifting of Tomas Tam, from bass to guitar. The band will host a farewell party for Leonard on 21 st December 2019 at their annual, ‘An Honest Christmas Party’ at Six In The City in Petaling Jaya.

楊丞琳邀金曲新人王ØZI跳脫舒適圈 音樂與影像的突破力作《Love is Love》

楊丞琳邀金曲新人王ØZI跳脫舒適圈 音樂與影像的突破力作! 混血妝、放電”貓眼” 時髦捲髮、高馬尾 oversize外套+中空運動Bra 出道邁入20年來 大家從未見過的”歐美風”丞琳 12/4首播MV 率性”丞哥”演繹性感小野貓 歌詞貫穿視覺 徹底”不做自己” 丞琳挑戰R&B、饒舌 ØZI激讚!成功轉型”嘻哈琳”! 睽違3年,楊丞琳最新的第11張專輯《刪·拾 以後》終於正式推出!實體與數位榜都有非常好的成績!其中被視為丞琳出道以來最大突破的《Love is Love》歌曲,邀請2019金曲獎最佳新人獎得主ØZI創作、製作與拍攝MV;早在ØZI大獲肯定之前,丞琳即在整合專輯曲風過程中,特別選定他為專輯內節奏強烈的快歌進行創作,無非就是看中ØZI在現今華語音樂圈當中扮演不可忽視的角色。他擁有美式背景卻能將創作融合跨越東西的文化共感,運用歌詞訴說跨越差異的男女觀念,朗朗上口的曲調都為當今樂壇注入新的能量。力邀ØZI為新專輯增添新色的丞琳表示,「整張專輯最大的挑戰就是《Love is Love》,錄音跟MV拍攝都完全跳脫我的舒適圈,雖然我是一個不停在變化的人,可是我真的沒有跳到他的領域過。」本以為丞琳沒有嘗試過這樣的曲風會在錄唱卡關,但沒想到她在配唱過程中毫無障礙,ØZI更對丞琳的唱法表示高度讚賞!丞琳唱出所有在愛情裡的女人都曾義無反顧地秀出所有的愛,但無私並不等於回報,男人的感情有愧終究是每段愛情裡面陳舊的劇情,原來Love is Love,即便知道會是經歷傷痕的愛都還是讓人奮不顧身,《Love is Love》MV今天(12/4)於官方YouTube頻道播出。  由於饒舌、R&B這些領域對丞琳來說真的太陌生了,除了音樂創作也需要ØZI幫她把關歌曲的視覺,丞琳直呼:「找他當導演真是再適合不過!」ØZI的創意思維跟過去傳統MV拍攝很不一樣,更打造丞琳從來沒有過的樣子,時髦慵懶捲髮以及梳乾淨的高馬尾;身穿oversize外套,裡頭中空僅著運動Bra;充滿混血感的妝容,戴上”貓眼”效果的角膜變色片,從頭到腳濃濃的歐美風,是大家從未見過的楊丞琳,她笑著表示,「從頭到尾很ØZI的風格,大家應該從我出道20年來,沒有看過我這個樣子吧!就連拍雜誌都沒有。」ØZI回應道:「所以這樣才好玩啊!其實整個program我的角度就是希望能夠呈現很不同的;因為新專輯整個氛圍,特別是音樂方向都是丞琳在主導,覺得可以給她一個完全不一樣的Look,從音樂到視覺,整體感會比較一致。」 丞琳回憶兩人第一次見面時,自己便掏心掏肺把所有的感覺告訴ØZI,她表示,「那是一個很好的開始,讓兩個人變很熟,錄音很順利、拍MV很放鬆,有些東西是我不習慣的,需要他給我一個指令一個動作。」而《Love is Love》是兩人聊完的歌曲,ØZI在寫這首歌的時候對視覺也有很多的想法,加上丞琳看過ØZI拍的MV,非常激賞他的導演功力,因此很放心地把自己全然交付;ØZI則除了稱讚丞琳的唱功了得,也盛讚她MV表現極佳、很自然!一幕在濃煙大霧的空間裡,身陷其中的丞琳詮釋找不到方向的迷惘,不斷地憋氣不打緊,下一個鏡頭要邊聽導演指令、邊唱對嘴,深陷茫茫煙霧中要非常心無旁鶩;但更挑戰她的是平時”丞哥”率性慣了,MV中要對著鏡頭放電,還要從側面撥弄秀髮,或是露肩做出嫵媚動作,ØZI用“名媛摸”、”肩膀痛”很白話的指示讓丞琳秒懂,她望著像張床的平台幽默回應:「我想”晚安躺”。」ØZI更不吝嗇的教她饒舌技巧,現場傳授不用唸得太清楚,利用手勢遮一下嘴的巧妙秘訣。 沒想到私底下很有話聊的兩個人,在眾目睽睽之下一起拍MV反而變得詞窮了!ØZI坦言,除了拍自己的MV外,其實很少同時當演員又當導演,所以這次也是跳脫了自己的舒適圈,他笑言自己有時候腦袋轉換不過來,就會發生一些很跳針的狀況;不過ØZI信心滿滿雖然不是第一次幫人執導MV,但這兩年來能力進步許多,丞琳忍不住虧他說:「雖然我是他”第二次”執導的MV,但我相信會是他目前為止最滿意的一支!」ØZI希望在畫面上突顯歌詞的氛圍,像是為了男生改變自己的妝容、改變自己喜歡的東西、逼自己去喝金牌…等等,因此設定讓丞琳有很大的突破,ØZI很開心地謝謝Rainie願意做這些嘗試;丞琳則笑言:「這首歌講述”不做自己”這件事,今天也真的都不是我啊!哈。」平常習慣大素顏的丞琳,透過歌曲分享自己30歲前的故事,曾經每天去咖啡廳看一本書,假裝自己跟對方一樣的去迎合,有所領悟的她表示,「對方要喜歡原本的你,而不是投其所好;可以培養一起的興趣,但不代表要成為他。」

Rainie Yang 楊丞琳全新單曲《節日快樂》

楊丞琳Rainie Yang個人第11張專輯『刪•拾 以後』首波單曲『節日快樂』 節日未完的快樂  翻覆成鬧騰的苦澀當孤獨終究必須 我選擇 讓明天閃耀 作為楊丞琳第11張全新專輯『刪•拾 以後』,自籌備階段楊丞琳心中就非常清楚專輯的概念與方向,身兼新專輯音樂統籌和專輯製作人的她,於收歌階段便主動一一聯絡與專輯主題契合的創作人,親自說明來意與對歌曲的想像,讓創作人各自發揮。而『節日快樂』這首歌曲的主題也是陳綺貞與楊丞琳兩人討論後所呈現的成果,由陳綺貞詞曲創作並擔任配唱製作。在歌曲的配置上,電吉他的彈奏搭配鼓擊等樂器,襯著楊丞琳娓娓唱出的歌聲逐漸堆疊,在曲調臨近結束時化繁為簡、完整收尾,恰恰符合了『節日快樂』這首歌曲的意境:歷經複雜而化整純粹,回歸真正的我,認知真正的自己。 而『節日快樂』想說的是一個在節日被忽視的故事,在越鬧騰越歡快的情境下,不管是單身抑或是身邊有伴侶,其實,人生來都是單數,某種層面上,單身與否跟孤獨程度並不是反比,反而可能是相差無幾的。不管人是否在一段關係中有人陪伴、生活是否激盪,面對孤獨時都是給自己的省思,反芻點滴經歷的一切,更重要的是進而接納。而『節日快樂』同時也被賦予『刪除與拾起』的專輯主體概念,我們並非得屏除什麼而留下什麼,而是可以更瀟灑地去接受。然而,有時自我限制反而是過不去的最深窒礙。『節日快樂』所訴說的是人人都有可能有意識地活著無意識的孤獨,但當我們不再抗拒,懂得從容面對,那就是孤獨最自在的狀態。

I want people to feel hope and to know you will come out the other side stronger and a better version of yourself.”Sophie Muller, who previously worked with Gomez on the “Good for You” video, helmed the iPhone 11-shot visual.
