 Title: Shine Length: 3:36Genre: Pop, Electro, EDM Songwriers: Drake Anton Zaslavsky (mISTER_b), Aaron Styles Producers: Drake Anton Zaslavsky (mISTER_b)Taken From - Evangelion: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Aaron Styles has quickly risen to become one of the major breakout stars this year. The 16 year old actor, model and part time singer has already garnered an impressive resume for someone of his age. The New York native has quickly become a new force in the modeling world, most notably becoming the cover star of the Spring/Summer 2015 issue of Man About Town. Aside from that, Aaron has also modeled clothing for H&M in their summer 2015 line, and has now signed on to do the same for Reserved, another prestigious clothing store. Although the fresh faced starlet has a knack for modeling, his true love and niche is in the acting world. At just 16, Aaron is already a hot prospect. He has starred in the netflix-only film "Chasing Sally" and prior to that Styles has appeared in Walt Disney's "Prom", "Science Fiction Land" and "Shark Business", not to mention being apart of the Joey Lawrence helmed "My Fake Fiance". However, none of these movies would feature the multi million dollar budget of Aaron's upcoming film "Evangelion", which is set to hit theater's this August. The Warner Bros action and fantasy movie starring Aaron is about a young and timid boy with a troubling past and deceased parents; who's life suddenly changes when he willingly signs up to be recruited as a fighter and must fight to save what's left of the world alongside others with Evangelions, human controlled cyborgs created by the UN as they go up against "Angels" who are outer space mutants looking to end the world once and for all. Aaron talks about it during his Man About Town Interview:
Quote:"Evangelion's are man made controllable weapons created to protect humanity from what is called "Angels", beings who are extremely threatening to human life after a catastrophic event called second impact that kills thousands. Without giving too much away, I play a character named "Preston" who's life changes forever one night. He's a shy, extremely intelligent, down to earth young boy who has an intense obsession with trying to find out the secrets of his parents deaths during the "second Impact". After predictions are made for a third impact, Preston starts investigating these predictions and suddenly everything changes forever for him. I don't want to give away anymore but expect a lot of action, a bit of a post apocalyptic vibe and scenes worth watching. Preston's character develops so much throughout the movie as he goes from shy, depressed young boy to courageous hero and being able to portray that was really fulfilling"
The action packed film that is family friendly and could appeal to all audiences wrapped up it's post production in April 2015 and will experiences a wide and international theater release this summer. So what's a theater film without a soundtrack? Warner Bros put a green light on the formation of a soundtrack album for the movie in late 2014 and began forming ideas for what the album would actually sound like. The album will feature different artists performing songs to get the movies themes across better and the completed album will most likely experiences an August 2015 release as well. When the sound track album's head executive producer Shawn Moretsky got word that Aaron was indeed also a gifted singer, he wanted to test out how well the actor actually was. Aaron was called in for a meeting where he was asked to sing and essentially blew the producer away. Shawn stated "I was like, what the hell!? Is there anything that this boy cannot do?? I instantly felt like he needed to a featured vocal on the soundtrack. What's better than having a soundtrack, but having a soundtrack where the star of the movie is actually singing the leading single of the soundtrack album. It works perfect.". Styles was then referred to popular music DJ, Drake Anton Zaslavsky better known as mister_b. Drake was contacted prior to knowing he would be working with Aaron to possibly work on a track for the sound track album in which he accepted. Aaron and mister_b entered the studio together on March 2nd, where the DJ presented Aaron with a set of different written records and beats that he felt would be great for Aaron vocally and for the initial themes set for the movie. Aaron instantly fell in love with a track entitled "Shine", but felt he could write parts of the track to better fit himself and the film. One week later, the two met again to actually record the track since Aaron finished writing and mister_b was done mixing the final rip of the song, ready for vocals. Aaron and mister_b finished the track only two days later and the track was then mixed once again and was ready for release, in June, the single was officially ready to be distributed and released.
Shine is a single performed by Aaron Styles and features the production values by the collaborated artist mister_b, and is the leading single taken from the Evangelion movie sound track album entitled Evangelion: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The single was written by it's performers, Aaron Styles and mister_b and will be released on June 7th, 2015 to digital outlets and to airplay radio stations as well. This single is also the introduction to Aaron Styles as a vocalist and could be looked at as a debut record for the actor who has already gotten his foot into acting and modeling.
Lyrically, "Shine" is an empowering record about coming in contact with someone or something that lifts you up and makes you feel stronger and more empowered all the while taking you out of your darkness to experience a sense of euphoria, strength and courage. Although the single could be looked at as a love song, it works hand and hand with anything that essentially makes you feel strong or brave and is in direct relation to the Evangelion soundtrack as in the movie Aaron ("Preston") goes from a shy timid boy to heroic fighter after coming in contact with his Evangelion in which he is control of, and the machine instantly gives him massive strength and power to fight, which is something the character never experiences before. As said before, even though the single is in direct comparison to the movie, it can be largely relate-able to anyone who feels they are taken out of a sense of darkness once they find something, or someone that makes them happy or feel brave. Aaron uses his stellar vocals to get this message across over a EDM beat.
Production wise, "Shine" features pumping beats and stellar synths courtesy of mister_b that charge from the very opening sequence of the record that easily proclaims the attention of the listener. Aaron's heavenly tone and range stands tall over the quick backing beat. The teen star seems to have a lighter tone than most of his male counter parts and it works exceptionally well over the dance pop vibe of the record. "You make me feel as the only one, Never before, I knew what true courage was" Aaron declares on one of the verse lines, before the pounding chorus proves itself too catchy to be rejected in the electro banger of this infectious leading single, it's certainly a breath of fresh air to hear a record that is lyrically different from the essentially pop record. Aaron proves that he can go into higher tones as he sings out the chorus with power and capacity almost entering a belt but keeping it in his safe zone and staying true to his vocal abilities and so does not enter a belt. During the bridge, the song breaks into an atmospheric thrill that features synths were Aaron emotionally sings about feeling like a soldier ready for war, feeling real, and no longer being afraid before Aaron makes use of his vocals and does a shocking high note before the song breaks into the chorus once more. After the final chorus, the song then goes into a final powerful dance break that could take the listener by surprise, the electric dubstep driven instrumental lasts only a few seconds but is the perfect ending to an empowering dance pop record.
SHINE
Under your spell, I’m well
Safe embraced by your good luck charm
The way I felt, I can tell
You fix my disarm
I don’t need to hide anymore
Don’t need to be afraid of the future
You make me feel as the only one
Never before, I knew what true courage was
You took me out of the sameness
And my life is no more stagnant
You took me out of the darkness
And now I shine brighter than diamonds
You took me out of the sameness
And my life is no more stagnant
You took me out of the darkness
And now I shine brighter than diamonds
And those opaque days, loneliness
Used to my best friend
When I had reach the limit
You showed me strength
I only have reasons to laugh
Sadness had been left in the past
‘Cause you took me out of the darkness
And I don’t need to be afraid
You took me out of the sameness
And my life is no more stagnant
You took me out of the darkness
And now I shine brighter than diamonds
You took me out of the sameness
And my life is no more stagnant
You took me out of the darkness
And now I shine brighter than diamonds
You make me feel like a soldier
Ready to fight this war
You make me feel real
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not the same
And you were the reason
That made me change
Oh!
You took me out of the sameness
And my life is no more stagnant
You took me out of the darkness
And now I shine brighter than diamonds
You took me out of the sameness
And my life is no more stagnant
*DANCE BREAK*
