Let the music elevate you.

This is one song that is going to make you dance in a whole new way. This year get your feet taping to the beat of good music for the soul. American singer and humanitarian Isabelle Fries and singer-songwriter Seth Baer have recently released the glowing new single “I Want You For You.” The duet is their first vocal collaboration with Seth having written several of Fries’ past hit singles.

Get your gratitude on as we applaud the dynamic duo that is capturing the spirit of mankind when it is at its best. Expressing an unwavering dedication to breaking out of the barriers of just being a pop tune, the pairs’ songs known for their lyrics’ melody along with a message of healing, strength, and hope, the catalog of music they have created together has resonated with listeners everywhere.

“Fight for Me,” “Just a Dreamer,” “Scrapbook,” “With a Bow,” and “Shine Through the Rain” are some of the songs that launched her career. Now the new single is looking to capture the same sparkle of potent magic.

Maxim once referred to the gifted singer as being poignantly unique in style and grace when they wrote, “In a world where fame clouds the mind, Isabelle has learned the art of creating authentic and impacting singles, and she is using her platform to be the voice of the unheard.”

Now dazzling listeners with the newest “I Want You For You” lyrics, ears are wide open to the cascade of inspirational poetry. Fully embracing a relationship between a couple that is both compatible and full of challenging aspects, she belts out: “Look at you, you got your guard up. Suspicious of all of them who show love and thinking that you don’t deserve love. Wish you could see what I do. I want you for you.”

A song about finding your perfect match and getting that person to see the beauty in themselves is the ultimate equation of love and the sacrifices we make to have that harmony in life. Acknowledging the meaningful message of the song, collectively Fries and Baer point out, “Music has the power to bring people together, and this collaboration is an example. This song is meaningful to us because it puts a positive message into the world about the importance of seeing people for their heart and soul and not for their status or exterior.”

From a production standpoint, The single that is resonating with the masses for its positive outlook helms from Upper Octave, Inc.and is written and produced by multi-Grammy-winning producer and mix engineer Rob Chiarelli and, Nate Highfield, Kaelie Highfield. Rob’s work appears on dozens of Gold and Platinum albums and motion picture soundtracks. He has worked with musicians like Christina Aguilera, Ray Charles, LeAnn Rimes, Pink, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, and Madonna. Nate and Kaelie Highfield are sought-after composers for ads for TV and film and whose music can be heard on Netflix, Hulu, ABC, NBC, McDonald’s, Verizon, Maybelline, Xbox, Oral b, T-Mobile, Capital One, and many more.

The team is a perfect fit for the storied background of both the performers. Fries’ tracks have gained eight million streams on social media and music platforms. Inspired by icons such as Sir Elton John, Amy Winehouse, and The Lumineers, she stands out as much as a musician as her predecessors as she does a true humanitarian.  Since a teenager, frequent visits to Uganda have led to her becoming a board member of The Global Livingston Institute. In 2017, while performing in Uganda for GLI for their annual iKnow Concert Series, she announced her founder position of the Bulamu Raise Your Voice Community Foundation as a sister foundation to GLI. The organization uses music to inspire and encourage others as they help implement sports, music, and other extracurricular activities in the schools. They are also developing better recycling initiatives and teaching water safety in Lake Bunyoniyi.

Baer is a Los-Angeles based singer and songwriter from Seattle whose current residency at Universal Studios brings notable esteem to the group. His music draws influence from bands like Nirvana and The Fray.  A lifelong musician, he has toured the country performing his original music.

Check out the inspirational work today. “I Want You For You” is streaming now on all major music platforms.

It’s official: Jay-Z will headline the 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and fans are already “Crazy in Love” with the idea that he might not be doing it alone… 

While Roc Nation’s announcement didn’t confirm any guest performers, it certainly didn’t rule them out, leaving the door open for a potential appearance from his wife, Queen Bey herself, who previously headlined the halftime show in 2013. 

Super Bowl LXI is February 14th at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Inspired by the iconic psychological horror of American Psycho, our first of three covers puts Naomi in a world where fashion meets fear.

As she steps into the DC Universe in Clayface, Ackie reflects on her unconventional career journey and the lessons that have kept her grounded. As she puts it, “I've learnt since then to hold things lightly.”

The Knockturnal sat down with Porter who opened up about bringing a little bite to the world of Panem, one snakeskin ensemble at a time.

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
