Rocky Inspired Video For Rene Lopez's "Shing-A-ling Is What I Bring"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) In honor of the iconic boxing film's 35th Anniversary, Native New Yorker Rene Lopez is proving that he is "in his prime" with the release of the new video for "Shing-a-ling Is What I Bring". Inspired by the movie Rocky, and his determination to succeed, Rene has encompassed the drive and passion of the character as he strives for a KNOCK-OUT album!

This month Rene will be performing at Nublu every Thursday, beginning today. He will additionally be appearing for a performance at Arlene's Grocery on February 28th. Rene will be playing old favorites as well as tracks off his latest album, ELS (released this past summer by Nat Geo Music).

ELS stands for Electric Latin Soul, a term Rene has coined for the new style of music he has developed. A mixture of Latin soul and Boogaloo with elements of rock, hip-hop, and R&B - Rene's sound is one that is distinctly Nuyorican. ELS features co-producers Mario Caldato Jr., a.k.a. Mario C (Beastie Boys,Jack Johnson, Bebel Gilberto) and Jason Lader (Julian Casablancas, Jenny Lewis), as well as special guests Joey Altruda, and Money Mark (John Butler Trio). The album as a whole is a nod to Rene's Latin roots, with an eye on modern electronic music and good ol' rock-and-roll.
