Matt Goss wants to help you say “I do.”

Formerly the lead singer of British rock band Bros, Matt is currently headlining at Caesars Palace’s Gossy Room in Las Vegas (yes, the venue was named after him), and last month released his EP I Do as well as his latest single: a joyful, jazzy ode to marriage proposals also called “I Do.” We recently caught up with Matt to discuss the inspiration behind the song and his advice for putting on toe-tapping wedding entertainment.

What was the inspiration behind “I Do?”

I’m a hopeless romantic. I started thinking – what’s the quintessential song for a man or woman to propose to? And I wanted to write a song that was utterly inclusive of all demographics. I thought, there isn’t a song you can definitively propose to. I was engaged before and I remember my knee gave out. It’s a beautifully submissive place to be, looking up at your lady, asking “Will you marry me?” I wanted to write a song that was powerful, authentic, glamorous, and romantic. I had a couple days at the piano and then I thought, “I’ve got the song.”

Get To Know Dreamy New Singer Cody Karey

If your iPod is peppered with songs by Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, and Jackie Evancho, you’ll find lots to love about Canadian tenor Cody Karey’s self-titled debut. The 23-year-old’s collection of soaring ballads doesn’t exactly break new ground, but Karey’s powerful voice and heart-melting lyrics will more than satisfy fans of the aforementioned masters of operatic pop (in fact, all have worked with famed producer David Foster).

Those searching for a wedding first-dance song will find plenty to choose from here, as virtually every track sounds tailor-made to accompany a waltz between newlyweds. Passion radiates from the achingly beautiful “You Are the Song,” while the guitar in “If Ever I Fall” is an unexpectedly pleasant accompaniment to Karey’s classically-trained voice. Even non Italian-speaking couples will appreciate “Tu Sei,” which nicely highlights Karey’s operatic range. This newcomer proves himself to be a welcome addition to the Grobans, Bocellis, and Evanchos of the world.

For Topher Rhys, producing the first Los Angeles revival of the rock musical bare since its premiere in 2000 at LA.’s Hudson Theatre has been a project nine years in the making.

He first heard a cast recording of the musical, which is set in a Catholic high school and explores the romance between roommates Jason and Peter, in 2004 when he was 16 years old. The story’s dark examination of religion intrigued him, and he has been “circling it” ever since.

“It’s interesting how this show has stuck with me for so long, to the point where we’re opening tonight,” Rhys says, sitting in the Hayworth Theatre just three hours before opening night on Friday. “And I succeeded in our goal of bringing the show back to LA.”

Artist: Christina Perri

Album: The Ocean Way Sessions EP

Label: Atlantic

Rating: 5/5

If Britney, Rihanna and Ke$ha are the head cheerleaders of the music world, then Christina Perri is whatever you call the quiet girl who spent lunch strumming her guitar behind the bleachers. And as everyone found out at the 10-year reunion, turned out to be way cooler than the cheerleaders. As the 23-year-old singer-songwriter croons in her fantastic EP The Ocean Way Sessions, “Karma tastes so sweet.”
