Irene Michaels: From FIRE AID NYC to the Flame of Glamour
House Music/EDM recording sensation Irene Michaels after performing for the Creative Vision benefit FIRE AID NYC produced by FENIX360 for the LA Fire victims she was off to rock the Grammy Awards. This year the Grammys also was in a fund-raising spirit in collaboration with Musicares Fire Relief.
While in LA Irene is set to record new music as a follow up to her multi-award winning hits “I Like Rain” & “My Heart.” The songs have collected honors from the Josie Music Awards, the Get Out Awards 2023 and this year’s BroadwayWorld Cabaret Awards 2025.
The 79 year old jet setter travels endlessly and at a moments notice to enhance her career and to give fans what they want and expect. After a holiday performance in NYC at the Copacabana for “50 Shades of Gay: A Christmas Cabaret” and as a feature act at “Pause the World for Peace” at Times Square in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the United Nation’s International Peace Day she will again be coming to NY to perform at the Get Out Awards on March 3, 2025. On March 28 you can see Irene at the Epiphany Performing Arts Center in Chicago and then again April 4 as she opens for TV talk show host Mickey Burns @ Chelsea T&S in Manhattan.
A new version of “My Heart” will be released shortly featuring rapper Twizm Whyte Piece whose rhyme addition to the song will be an anthemic phenomena. The new version will be released by Tribeca Records. The song was originally written and produced by iconic DJ Joe Smooth and is working its way through the nation….

Concrete Club have always had that thing going on where they’re pulling from post-punk and indie rock without sounding like they’re trying to prove anything. This track takes that further. The synths sit in a way that makes you listen, and there’s this rhythm that just locks in and makes you want to move without thinking about it. It’s the kind of song structure that works on you after a few listens, not just the first time through.
What I’ve noticed about Concrete Club is that they’re not interested in smoothing out the rough parts. They’ve been grinding the Manchester circuit, building an actual following, and their songs aren’t about sounding polished. They’re about real things: what it’s like living in a city, losing track of time on nights out, trying to find something that makes sense when nothing does. “People Like Us” fits right into that.
Rowetta’s featured spot here is the thing that makes it work. Her voice against Jonny Brewster’s, with Kallum Delf on guitar, Mark Demuth holding down the bass, and Jamie Butterworth on drums, it all just clicks. They brought in Jonny McGill to handle the drums on this one, and you can feel the fresh energy that brought, but it still sounds unmistakably like them.
This is a song that gets better the more you sit with it. If you’ve been sleeping on Concrete Club, this is the one to start with. Listen here.
