South African singer Louise Carver sees her single ‘Sunrise’
with US DJ Joe Bermudez take the #6 spot on the Billboard ‘Dance/Club Play’
chart - http://www.billboard.com/charts/dance-club-play-songs
An incredible achievement for a South African artist as the
chart celebrates the week's most popular songs played in dance clubs, compiled
from reports from a national sample of club DJs, with Joe Bermudez and Louise
Carver getting more plays than singles from the likes of Calvin Harris, Zayn,
Nick Jonas and Ariana Grande. They’re sitting just behind Justin Timberlake
who’s at #5 with his single ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling!’.
'Joe and I worked on the track 'Sunrise' in Boston and spent
many long hours in studio getting it right. Just knowing that people are
enjoying it, makes us so happy. I love working with Joe because we both are all
about the music and the journey it takes us on,' comments an ecstatic Louise
Carver.
The single is released to South African radio this week and
Louise is eager for her SA fans to hear the track.
How did these two meet and create a Billboard charting
single?
Joe Bermudez was the opening act for the David Guetta/Akon
tour in South Africa a few years back. On his way to a 5fm interview he heard
the Pascal & Pearce track for “Days Go By” featuring Louise Carver on
vocals. Loving the sound of Louise’s voice, Joe wanted to work with her and
tracked Louise down. She initially recorded the vocals for ‘Sunrise’ in South
Africa, but Joe invited her to Boston where they worked together on making an
incredible dance track. And the rest, as they say is history.

About Louise Carver
Louise Carver is one of SA’s most successful female artists.
No stranger to having success with dance tracks, ‘Sunrise’ is without a doubt
her biggest charting single to date.
Louise launched her career at the tender age of fifteen and
2 years later released her debut single ‘It Don’t Matter’ which became an
instant hit and reached no.3 on the 5FM top 40. Her first album, ‘Mirrors and
Windows’ followed just after. It was her first EP ‘Looking Around’, which
explored her fascination with dance music and club life. Her music caught the
attention of legendary deep house producer, Kenny Hawkes, who worked with her
on the track, ‘Play the Game’ which went to no. 1 in Europe.
Due to the success of ‘Play the Game’, Sony UK licensed
Louise’s song, ‘I’d Say Yes’ which went to no. 1 in Europe, Russia & South
Africa and is still a firm favourite on the dance scene worldwide.
Her success continued to soar and her 2nd full-length studio
album [‘Silent Scream’] connected her with well-established British production
duo, ‘Tin Tin Out’. Louise signed a deal with Sony Music SA and release the
first single from the album, ‘Empty Fantasy’ which went to No.1 across SA
radio. Louise would also receive her first SAMA nomination for ‘Best Adult
Contemporary Album.’
In 2007 her 3rd album ‘Saved By The Moonlight’ was recorded
with the incredibly talented Theo Crous garnered another two SAMA’s in 2008 for
Louise with ‘Best Female’ and ‘Best Adult Contemporary album.’ ‘Saved By the
Moonlight’ spurned two more successful singles, ‘The Only Thing’ and ‘Didn’t
mean to call and at the 2009 SAMA’s ‘Didn’t mean to call’ was nominated for
‘Record of the Year’.
2011 she was nominated for another 4 SAMA nominations for
her album ‘Look To The Edge’ – “Best Female”, “Best adult contemporary, Song of
the year for ‘Warrior’ and Remix of the year for ‘These Days’.
5 Studio albums later and Louise Carver is adding the final
touches to her 6th studio album, which will be released later in the year
