Twin Atlantic “Heart & Soul” Hits US Radio, NY & LA Shows Announced

Breakthrough band Twin Atlantic are returning to the US, with intimate small club shows at LA’s Troubadour July 21^st and New York’s Webster Hall Studio July 24th. The Glasgow 4-piece will be previewing songs off their new Gil Norton & Jacknife Lee-produced album Great Divide, out August 18^th via Red Bull Records.

The first single off Great Divide, “Heart & Soul” premiered on Radio 1’s Zane Lowe as the “Hottest Record in the World,” was added to the station’s A-List and debuted at #17 on the UK sales chart. The track is currently climbing the US radio charts: it was Most Added at Alternative last week, with over a dozen new stations adding it to their full time playlist including SiriusXM Alt Nation, The Point in St Louis, WBUZ/Nashville, WLKK/Buffalo, and many more. “Heart & Soul” has won acclaim in NME, Rock Sound, The Sun, The Mirror and more, and USA Today called it “as catchy as any boy band you'll hear all year, but built with old-fashioned rock-guitar hooks. And a Scottish brogue.” Watch the video for the track here

In the three years and countless shows since the release of their acclaimed debut album Free, Twin Atlantic has become known as one of the UK’s most exciting live bands. They spent the spring travelling Europe with 30 Seconds to Mars, scored a primetime slot on the John Peel stage at Glastonbury last weekend and are currently playing stadiums in the UK with Kings of Leon. Reading & Leeds confirmed for later this summer.

Atlanta's Love and Hip Hops Momma Dee talks to INTRO Magazine

INTRO Magazine received that chance to talk to the one the only and in that order Momma Dee from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. As you know we talked about the show and what she thought of Love and Hip Hop franchise since she has become part of it.

INTRO Magazine: What do you think of the Love and Hip Franchise?

Momma Dee: Love and Hip Hop Atlanta is the most popular reality show on television right now. Its something about that Georgia red clay. Love and Hip Hop is a true reality show. We are not scripted. When it comes time to do the green screen comments I tell them just cut the camera on. I don't hold anything back. I am not going to be someone else just because the cameras are rolling. That is all me that you see on television. When I give my son advice you see me telling him what I would tell him off camera. My feelings about cast members are my true feelings. Like I said nothing is scripted.

INTRO  Magazine: What new projects are you working on currently:

Momma Dee: Currently I am working on a book that is set to be released in 60 days called "My Life And In That Order". The book is based on my life. I talk about the things that I went through as a child to an adult. I talk about how my mother put me out because her new husband said he did not want me in the house. I was a child. Not many people know or understand how you feel when your mother comes to you and says "My husband doesn't want you in the house so you need to leave". I talk about my life as a pimp. I talk about the high level officials that would call me up to meet with one of my girls. I call one official out specifically. I am also reviewing some movie scripts to see if that is something else that I would like to do. 

INTRO Magazine: There are many people that question what you do as a mother based on what they see on the show. How do you feel about that?

Momma Dee: I try and be the best mother that I can be to my children. I have other children besides Lil Scrappy and I talk to them the same way that I talk to him. I come from an era where you never held anything back. Everyone talks to there children differently but that is how I talk to mine. I just try to be the best mother that I can. 

INTRO Magazine: What advice can you give to other mothers that are like you trying to do the best that they can?

Momma Dee: As a mother I believe that other mothers should be the best mothers that they can be for their children. There are times when things just don't go the way we plan. In those times just focus on being the best mother that you can be. I try everyday to be the best mother that I can be for my children. I try and give the best advice that I can. As a mother you should do the same.

INTRO Magazine: I would like to thank you for taking the time to speak to us. 

Momma Dee: I want to thank you for giving me the time to talk to you. I want the readers and fans to know that there is more to come on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta but most importantly I want the mothers out there to just be the best mothers that they can be.
