"Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere I would've followed you..."
I am sure the lyrics above is no stranger to all of you anymore. A good news I would like to announce to all of you who love "Say Something", A GREAT BIG WORLD is coming to Malaysia this August 2014. Below are the details of the show:
Date: 7th
August 2014
Venue: KL
LIVE
Time: 8.30pm
Connections define music as much as notes,
melodies, and rhythms do. When it strikes the right personal chords, an album
can alter the moods, outlooks, and even lives. A Great Big World, a New York pop singer-and-songwriter duo —Ian
Axel and Chad Vaccarino—treasure the precious bond between artist and listener.
This is the power of A Great Big World
to be able to touch the inner souls of its listeners.
The
WonderLand+ is honored to
announce the debut concert of A Great
Big World Live in Malaysia 2014, kicking off on 7th August 2014, KL
Live, 8:30pm. Early bird promotion for tickets will start to

The ticket prices are categorized into Early Bird (From 30th June – 30th
July 2014) RM198 Great Zone [Lower Level (Center)], RM158 Big Zone [Lower

The songwriter duo, Vaccarino and Axel first
met in the NYU practice rooms while still in college. After a few twists and
turns of fate in 2012, the friends formed A
Great Big World and have released a six-song EP funded by Kickstarter. It has created the viral
sensation "This Is the New Year", which ended up being performed by
the cast on Fox's Glee. A recording deal was then offered to them.
In late 2013, everybody who had heard the
group's single "Say Something"
reacted to it. After playing during a pivotal segment of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, this
little song began its journey to becoming a big platinum-selling hit. The
terse, tearful piano and Axel's heavenly hypnotic vocals tugged on heartstrings
worldwide. One heart that felt it especially hard belonged to none other than Christina Aguilera.
"We got this email from her that was
written like a poem about the song," Axel recalls. "She told us that
she wanted to work with us, and we were completely floored. We couldn't believe
it. A week later, we were in Los Angeles recording it with her. Everything just
started happening after that," Vaccarino goes on. "Soon, it was like
we'd lived a whole lifetime in just a few months."
A Great Big
World went on to perform the song with
Aguilera on NBC's The Voice,
and that version took off to #1 on
iTunes. The same phenomena occurred after a heartfelt performance at The American Music Awards,
which generated worldwide applause. They closed out the year bringing the
audience at The Victoria's Secret
Fashion Show to its feet followed up by sold out New Year's Eve gigs
supporting Maroon 5.
The album also boasts great songs like “Rockstar”, "I Really Want It",
"Already Home" that coast forward on swinging piano and uplifting
choruses that instantly invigorate and inspire. It's pop with a purpose and a
positive message. As Vaccarino sums it up, "There is no separation between
people. We're all an integral part of one great big world.”
Without any doubt, the breakout band of 2014, A Great Big World will have lots to
share at the performance on 7th August. Their debut album, “Is There Anybody Out There” is out now
by Sony Music.
