The state of the world has become a very confusing place; a place in need of more love and happiness. Love is the essence and pathway to real happiness.
Pharrell was on to something when he recorded “Happy” in 2014. I had hoped that it would catch on and inspire other artists to record music that would encourage us to be happy.
Jason Walker must have been reading my mind because he has recorded a song that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. The track has made me “So Happy.” Walker grew up in Pittsburgh, singing in church choirs and then in local R&B and Blues bands. He first shined on the national spotlight with a winning performance on TV’s “It’s Show Time at the Apollo”.
“With all that’s happening in the world today, isn’t that what everyone wants: to be happy and feel good,” wonders Jason Walker from his home in New York City. “The dance floor is my happy place. It’s where I can forget my troubles and let the music take over. For me, music is the universal truth and when a hard beat pulses through my body, there is simply no better feeling than that. My hope is that ‘So Happy’ lifts listeners to their own place of pure joy.”
Two-time Grammy nominated dance producer Tony Moran and Out Music Award winner Jason Walker unite on the season’s most powerful pop-dance record, ‘So Happy.’ Written by Tony Moran and Chris Willis – the American gospel singer turned electronic dance music phenomenon for his work with David Guetta – the epic single features an amazing vocal performance by Jason Walker, a superstar collection of remixes and a visionary music video by Karl Giant.
For the music video, he and videographer Karl Giant traveled to the Salt Flats of Utah! “It turned out to be one of the most exhilarating, life-changing experiences ever,” says Jason. “Five days in the desert was insanely riveting.”
When deciding on a location to shoot the song’s music video, videographer Karl Giant – who has shot videos for Cyndi Lauper, Ultra Nate, and The One’s – had in mind a destination that was a bit grander in scale than a dance floor. He whisked Walker to a land of breathtaking panoramas and transcendent realities.
“I’m extremely proud of Jason’s performance on So Happy,” says Tony Moran. “It is destined to become a crossover pop hit.” “Each is so different with his own unique style of producing a vocal,” he continues. “The one thing all have in common is a passion and tenacity that drives them. Making dance records is hard work but when done right, boy, is it magical. Dance music has the power to make everyone ‘So Happy’.”
From the first note to the last beat your frown will be turned upside when listening to “So Happy.”
