New Music: Muni Long - "Ruined Me" (from Upcoming Album "Revenge")


Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Muni Long shares new single "Ruined Me" across all streaming and digital music platforms.


The heartfelt and hypnotic track follows Muni Long's previous singles "Make Me Forget" and the Billboard Top 5 smash "Made for Me" and is set to appear on her highly anticipated sophomore album Revenge on August 30th via Def Jam Recordings/Supergiant Records.

About the upcoming album, Muni states, The record is definitely my story. I’m focusing on my journey, elevating, and growing as an artist. It’s so much deeper than simply writing songs. It’s therapeutic for me to get all my thoughts out. I’ve been working towards this moment for 17 years. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I’m focused on healing and leaving a brightness wherever I go. From my perspective, I think I did a really great job of expressing how I feel in the music. It’s like one big diary entry.

Revenge is available for PRE-SAVE

Milli Vanilli's "Girl You Know It's True" U.S. Trailer | In Theaters August 9th


Vertical has unveiled the final official US trailer for the music biopic titled Girl You Know It's True, from German director Simon Verhoeven. It's about the infamous music duo known as Milli Vanilli, referencing one of their biggest tracks (Paramount+ also released their own official Milli Vanilli doc last year). This movie is a fictionalized biopic version of their story. Dancers Pilatus & Morvan rise to fame in the late 80s and become stars with No.1 hits, even winning a Grammy. This is the true story of Rob Pilatus & Fab Morvan, who conquered global music charts as the duo "Milli Vanilli." Their fame turned to infamy when it's revealed the iconic voices behind their hits were not their own, but those of other singers.


Starring Tijan Njie as Rob & Elan Ben Ali as Fab, plus Matthias Schweighöfer as their sketchy record producer Frank Farian. This is a German movie because Rob and Fab met and lived in Munich, and their "Milli Vanilli" fame started in Munich in the 80s with Farian. This was already released in Germany (and Europe) last year, and it will finally be getting a US release on August 9th.

See the official US trailer below:


Milli Vanilli, consisting of German Rob Pilatus (Tijan Njie) & French Fab Morvan (Elan Ben Ali), became a music phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 1990s. With songs like "Girl You Know It's True" and "I'm Gonna Miss You," they stormed the charts around the world. Fab and Rob seemed to have a great career ahead of them - until it finally came out that they didn't sing any of their songs themselves. What followed was one of the biggest crashes in music history. Fab and Rob had to give up their Grammy, the buyers of their albums were awarded compensation and it was over with Milli Vanilli. Girl You Know It's True is directed by German actor / filmmaker Simon Verhoeven100 ProMen in the City 1 & 2Friend RequestWelcome to Germany, and Nightlife, and a producer on the Milli Vanilli doc. Produced by Quirin Berg, Max Wiedemann, Kirstin Winkler. This initially opened in Germany in December last year before anywhere else. Vertical will release Girl You Know It's True in select US theaters starting on August 9, 2024.
