Blessd Releases Virtual Reality Version His Hit Single “Quien TV”

Blessd is taking his recent hot a step further…

The 22-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter and rapper has released a virtual reality version of his 2021 hit “Quien TV,” marking Warner Music Latina’s first full VR video in Meta Horizon Worlds.

BlessdIn the more than three-minute video, Blessd is seen entering the recording studio and begins to chat with his love interest.

“Hi love, when can we see each other?” he asks. “Any time. I live in Horizon Worlds,” a character named Laura replies. After asking how he can get to her, a Meta Quest 2 system magically appears at the studio. Blessd wears the gear and is instantly transported to the virtual world, where he begins his journey to find Laura. Toward the end of the clip, a phone call interrupts Blessd and transports him back to his reality at the recording studio.

The video was brought together by Warner Music Latina, Blessd, Meta, NSpire Create Labs and Merc Holdings Inc. A two-dimensional version of the video will be available on Blessd’s Facebook page. “Quien TV” officially premiered December 6, 2021. A remix featuring Ryan Castro was released on January 27, 2022.

The virtual reality video comes on the heels of Blessd taking part in the 2022 Billboard Latin Music Week, where he joined Colombian hitmaker Ovy on the Drums in the “Making the Hit Live!” panel.

In a span of 30 minutes, the producer and the artist worked together to create a promising reggaeton track, on which Blessd improvised, singing lyrics about heartbreak. While the track — which they broke down as they were making it — was not completed due to the limited time, attendees encouraged the duo to release the song after hearing a teaser that left everyone in the room wanting more.

Jessica Meraz Lands Major Recurring Role on The CW’s “Supergirl”

Jessica Meraz has landed a superrole…

The half-Mexican American actress has landed a major recurring role on The CW’s drama Supergirl.

Meraz will portray Menagerie/Pamela Ferrer, an iconic DC villain and a member of Manchester Black’s “Elite.” Menagerie is a jewel thief who doesn’t mind hurting people.

The DC/Berlanti Prods.drama Supergirl, from Warner Bros. Television, is now in its fourth season on the CW. The series is headed into the network’s annual DC crossover, which kicks off on Sunday.

The casting marks Meraz’s return to WBTV whose cable division produced Major Crimes for TNT. Meraz was a series regular on the final season of The Closer spinoff.

Meraz recently appeared on stage at the Pasadena Playhouse in the Jason Alexander-directed Native Gardens. She is currently recurring on Tacoma FD for TruTV and has also been working on Blue Ribbon Content’s Splash Damage, a VR experiment currently in development.

McCreery’s Post Tour Plans: High School Baseball

He may be the American Country Awards’ reigning New Artist of the Year, but Scotty McCreery is still a regular high school senior. And, he’s planning to play ball after his stint on Brad Paisley’s Virtual Reality tour.

The 18-year-old part-Puerto Rican country singer will be heading back to his native North Carolina to play baseball for his high school in Garner. And, even though he’s an American Idol champion and has sold more than a million copies of his debut album, McCreery isn’t getting any special treatment from his coach.

“Singing don’t really mean you can really play ball well,” he recently admitted to ABC News Radio. “So, they had to see if I had a little something left in me.”

But McCreery doesn’t think that’s the only challenge he’ll face on the field.

“I have a feeling it’s gonna be rough,” he admits. “I’m a pitcher, so I have a feeling when I get on the mound, guys are gonna be taunting me. I’m just gonna blow it off and strike ’em out!”

Unfortunately, the rising country star has to miss the first games of the season as he concludes his touring commitment, but he’s happy that everyone is working with his schedule.

“I enjoy high school, I enjoy being there with my friends and getting to hang out,” he explains to BlogCritics.org. “But I also enjoy the music and getting out here with the fans and singing a lot. It’s really cool for me to be able to do both. It’s been a fairly nice balance with schoolwork and being on the road. We’ve made it work.”

It’s good that McCreery is learning how to find a balance between his singing career and his academics, since he plans to attend college in the fall.

“That’s going to be another monster,” he tells Nashville’s Tennessean newspaper. “But we’re going to figure out a way to do [it]. It might take me 50 years to get a degree, but I want to get there and go to college.”

The singer has already been accepted to East Carolina, with applications still out to North Carolina State, Belmont University and Middle Tennessee State University.

“In the music business today, you’ll be around and in a few months everybody forgets about you,” he continues. “I want an education to lean back on.”

Scotty’s run on the Virtual Reality tour comes to an end on March 3 in Lexington, Kentucky.
