My two fav female artist one from the mainstream pop world, Demi Lovato and the other from the conscious crew, Kellee Maize have both come out with videos recently about light! Yes there is light at the end of the tunnel! Both sides of the music spectrum are getting it. They have seen the light and are daning in it! Metaphorically and litterally. In their videos they both dance in the neon light. 
Kellee Maize with her video "Dancing with Lightning." And Demi's "Neon Lights," both artists have neon highlights either in body paint as in Kellee's video or neon lipstick and nail polish, as in Demi's. All brightened with the black light which pops bright and white colors. See for yourself and let me know which on you like most.

I like how Demi has showcased a song and video within the mainstream that isn't scandalous and sounds amazing! It's a great dance track that has lyrics I wouldn't mind repeating. It's not blatant negative programing or over sexualized. Go Demi! that's a hard thing to do and get away with in the mainstream. Demi is not like her counter parts such as Miley Syrus. She has some how been able to successfully sing on carrying positive messages throughout. This video shows a matchure Demi that has grown from a child star to respectable female pop star. I like her progression into this awesome dance sound in a lyrically clean way. And notice she didn't have to dress skimpy or do crude acts to get there. She's just herself. 
I love the line "you're all i see in all these places, you're all i see in all these faces, so lets pretend we're running out of time." Make the most of your time and follow your heart is the message I interpret. "Baby when they look up at the sky. We'll be shoot stars passing by. You'll be coming home with me tonight" is just sensual enough not to be over the top. "Be still my heart, cuz it's freaking out." This are super relatable lyrics and emotions most people can identify with.  Mixed with a great dance track and Demi has herself a hit. 


As for Miss Kellee Maize. Female rapper google superstar. She's representing the conscious crew having LED hula hoopers in the video. Peace signs, hearts, buterflies, diamonds and tribal art  are drawn on bodies with the neon paint. It has a nice low beat without being dub step. The chorus is cool saying that they like to do things that are exciting that might scare others. In a sense that is the conscious path. It's scary to face the forces of mother nature, a.k.a life; light. As when there is light it expose the darkness much more clearly and quickly. She is danincing with lightning. She has her own control over this force, she has over come the natural fears. "Let's frequency match" my fav line. 
If you are frequency matching with this drop a line in the comments and tell me how. Are you liking this conscious music blog? And which video was your fav? Would love to hear from you. Blessings and Beets/ Beats.

A True Conscious Artist; Demi Lovato

Being amongst a spiritual community I have revered, encouraged and blogged about accomplishments of others because they have inspired me. I promote and blog through this site out of my heart because I love to share with others what gets me up. What helps me to feel good about myself, determined and confident. This is one of my labors of love. Much like a musician with their music. 
Just like a musician you can do your dream as a hobbyist or a budding professional. Though when you go into the professional realm, people will do things for fame or to further their career that may not match up with their true essence of their love for that passion. This can happen with almost a guarantee every time in the music industry. Well all parts of the media industry for that matter. And I have seen friends and acquaintances sacrifice some of their purity to get ahead. That can hinger their creation and or themselves. I can go on and on about the negative, manipulative, dirty, and un-godly energy swirling around the entertainment industry, but I won't cuz you get it. Its really hard as an artist to stay pure to your heart creation while still paying your bills and eating. Also once successful one can have the same struggle to keep their creation in the highest light energy field from praying mantises who want to put their own energy spin on what the creation should be like.

A Conscious Artist is about staying true to you no matter what. As that is what connects and grows an audience. Being a true Conscious Artist is not just about having inspirational lyrics set to music people will actually listen to. A Conscious Artist has the following. 

A real connection to their audience. 
Vulnerability.
Authenticity.
Adds value to their fan's lives.
Walks their talk.
Humility.

These artists are not only found outside the mainstream. My honorary TRUE CONSCIOUS ARTIST AWARD goes to the MTV Documented, Tabloid Scrutinized, Disney Star, DEMI LOVATO.
I have been singing her song from hearing it on a top 40 station for months without knowing who she is. I found out, and I like! 

From growing up in the spotlight with Barney, Disney channel shows and movies, Demi caved under the pressure system of hollywood. The pressure to perform, stay skinny and be a role model (or false prophet). Well now she has earned her role model status by admitting and openly talking about her struggles, with bullying, anorexia, bulimia, depression and cutting. She went on talk shows and even had an MTV Documentary about her personal issues showcased to her fans and the world in hopes that speaking out could give a voice and a chance for others to get better. 
This is truly an inspirational artist to be so forthcoming with things most people would try to avoid talking about, especially in the public eye. 

Within the conscious community I have seen most people wanting to only talk about the positive. In any community really we want to portray ourselves like we have it all together. "How are you doing today?" "Great" - we say after we had an existential breakdown in our car about the purpose of our life, before we saw that person at our local health food store. That leaves no room for a real connection, community, or help. It leaves the most compelling thing about you tucked away in the corner collecting dust or worse mold! And we're allergic to mold! Conforming to the mold and fitting into one. It's just not for us! 

It's a little counter conscious to say but it's true. Revealing these types of things, pain, discomfort, and distorters actually doesn't harm you, it helps you. Revealing is to put in the light. When things are looked at long enough in the light and at the right angle, they can become clear. You can come to a clear understanding of why you went though that, why you have been kept clear of certain people, why you feel a certain way, it's all ok. That is exactly Demi's message. For revealing her secretes hasn't harmed her, its helped her, in recovery, connecting to her fans that feel similar and ultimately furthering her career. In the right light, the dark can become bright. So say what might be scary to say. It can save you and your career. 

So with your creations, people, please, don't sugar coat it! Don't let someone else change your vision or misrepresent your work, or under represent it! Be you, be bold, be brave! Don't cave!

My fav Demi song "Together."
