Brandon Hilton seems to be on a roll. Just a few weeks ago, I blogged about his new video. Now, the Dallas singer is releasing his new single, “Adrenaline,” from his upcoming album Nocturnal. Not too bad from a self-made ce-web-rity. According to his e-mail sent out last night, this album will show a whole new side to Hilton. “Adrenaline” is Hilton’s first ballad which he figures will show his more artistic side.

“People were complaining because all I usually create is fun dance music, well my new album isn’t like that, I’m showing my serious side as a serious artist,” his e-mail states.

Personally, I’m not really sure an “artist” would bow to pressures of people complaining. Hey Hilton, if you don’t wanna do ballads, don’t. “Adrenaline” is a decent effort with just enough going right and wrong to balance it out. Overall, the tune is simple but I have to say, it hooked me. I mean, it’s auto-tuned to hell and a little cliche in the lyrics department, but it works well enough.

And we’re all in agreement here that Hilton provided one of the best lines ever in his press release. According to the e-mail, when he was asked about Nocturnal, he said — get ready for it — “this is all I will say, this album is about my death as an Internet Celebrity, and my birth as an Artist!”

So priceless.

  1. wow, I love this track from him. its so different from his other songs, thanks for posting this. I do believe he uses melodyne on his voice, not autotune. but I’m not sure.

  2. This track is quite different than anything he has done up to this point. I think it is good to see him stretch into a new area. That’s how we all learn and grow. You have to challenge yourself! Kudos

  3. I”m sorry, but I have no idea why this is even in the Voice..maybe Rich Lopez got a kickback or something. But the song is absolutely bad. The production quality is very low and making your voice digital and using pitch doctor is not a good thing at times. Plus, he mumbles his words, so you can barely understand what he is even talking about.

  4. I have watched Brandon Hilton since a few years ago and I love having seen his transition from Internet Celebrity into Artist. So proud of you, Beautifully Handsome! You have my support 100+ percent always! Each of his songs makes me feel alive and teaches me some life lesson. His music has helped me get thru some very difficult times, especially lately.

    Love & Peace,
    Chelle

  5. Brandon still trying to be a world wide celebrity is like hiring the smurfs to do a world tour.He is a person obsessed with being famous/ It is really sad so very sad indeed!

  6. “it’s auto-tuned to hell”……………….. lol you nailed it on the head with that comment….he would sound ridicules with out it….lol..lol..lol…lol…lol..lol

  7. where is Brandons real voice in this song its like a electronic nightmare it is awful sorry

  8. he’s released several songs that show his real voice, have you heard of ‘You’re Mine’ ? check that out, thats all him, no editing or autotune, and surprisingly he still sounds amazing.

    Asking an Electro artist not to use Electronic effects is like telling T-Pain not too. Its barking up an irrelevant tree. this is the genre that his music is, he doesnt have to prove anything to anyone, if people could do better, than they would. you all talk smack on him, but can any of you back it up?

    my guess is VERY doubtful…

  9. well well another one of Brandons 3rd person personalities comes to the rescue!! J Haubner opps I mean Brandon your not fooling anyone!

  10. actually my name is Jonathan Haubner, I’m a singer as well as Brandon, I’ve known him since 9th grade in school. my email is – firefly198812@yahoo.com feel free to email me at any time.

    your ignorance is not appealing.

  11. I don’t understand why this blog has such a Brandon Hilton boner.

    Yes, it can be argued that his electronic style of music requires voice synthesizers or auto-tune much like many of today’s pop stars; however, the difference between famous artists who use auto-tune and Brandon Hilton is that their music actually sounds good. Even with auto-tune Brandon Hilton’s “music” is still off-key and lacking in musicality.

  12. ewwwwwww a Friend of Brandons…really?….hummmmmmmmmmmmmm he is not that appealing to be friends with. You might want to reconsider that Friendship for someone less as lame.

  13. Bottom line, you dont know him and have never met him, therefore you know nothing about him, except the lame bullshit you’ve read online trashing him. you’d be shocked to know how wrong you are. the internet is a disgusting cesspool of lies and rumors and jealousy for anyone who’s doing something with their lives.

    at the end of the day he’s making a name for himself, and I dont think he cares whether he gets famous or not, he’s doing what makes him happy. He’s been into music since I’ve known him and as far as I know his entire life.

    what are you doing with your lives? oh yea, hating on someone on the internet, behind a computer screen, while he’s out in the real world doing something with his. you’re belief system needs a reality check.

  14. lol when I see that commercial for the audio tune thing that’s out for Christmas I vision Brandons Fail ass with one making his lame ass shit he calls music

  15. The ridiculousnes of the comments that have been left here have amazed me. People have the freedom to like what they like and to not like what they don’t. But to attack each other personally or another persons work is not only inappropriate, but just makes a complete jackass of you. Many of you have succeeded at a whole new level here! Be proud. The only fail I see here is the ignorance of these readers..lol

  16. I agree with Bman, its not your place to judge someone’s art and life, its your job to live your own life.

  17. If u ask a review to be put in a public newspaper and are wanting to be a public star expect public criticism!!!!

  18. Now now stop it!!!! I’m perfection!!!!Don’t be hating my crooked nose and my obsession with being Famous.
    After all the more you Hate me the more Famous I get for not being Famous! Yea I’m Famous for not being Famous so get over it. BTW catch my new single sold at Kmart world wide its called ‘My Sour Stinky Booty Hole” only 55 cents. Go buy your copy today my Granny in South Carolina has to make her Trailer Payment!!!

  19. Why the Dallas Voice would even write about this guy is
    amazing, this stuff can be done by anyone, there is absolutely
    nothing original or unique about this. It’s horrible, generic loops
    and beats as usual with over saturated effects on the vocals. I’ve
    played guitar for 30 years and worked with local bands and Brandon
    Hilton (real last name Barnett) just plain does not have any
    talent. The Dallas voice should get someone from Dallas Sound Lab
    to critique Brandon’s music, bring in a real singer to discuss his
    vocals. Brandon makes a big deal about being on I Tunes, I can
    record and sell my farts on I Tunes. It’s not like getting signed
    to a real record label. Has Brandon declared himself to be a record
    label and sign himself yet? Brandon has little to no marketable
    skills and uses his “I’m gonna be famous!” shtick to freeload
    whatever he can. Check out this so called demo
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lGsuDhge7g it sounds like someone
    playing with a low quality karaoke machine, it’s pathetic. Another
    one of his crappy fake collaborations.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klwMykCCna0 And my all time
    favorite, Brandon proposing to some frumpy chick using a ring from
    Avon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJG_ZQvDzyQ The more that I
    find out about the guy the more I debate if he is really gay, sure
    you can see pictures and footage of him kissing a guy but he comes
    across more and more like that wimpy guy that couldn’t play sports
    or hang with the guys and would play with dolls and play dress up
    with the girls. He’s a attention whore and if a little make out
    session with a guy gets him attention like say an article in the
    Dallas Voice then he will do it. The Dallas Voice should refrain
    from posting anymore articles about Brand until he shows real vocal
    talent and gets rid of the generic music, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
    NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT HIM OR HIS MUSIC WHATSOEVER!

  20. hey hey I told yall to stop making fun of me. I cant help it my Daddy hit me upside the head when I was younger and said I would be nothing in Life. That is something I have to deal with.Ill be a starr one day and everyone will buy my crappy music.Ill prove each of you wrong.

  21. Have You seen that shit he says he is filming that he calls
    a Movie??? LOL its worse than a Spanish soap opera. Just like
    singing skills Brandon has no acting skills. This boy needs to wipe
    all this shit offline and start over. Well I think its kinda to
    late for that. He now claims that he was offered a Book deal.
    Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm why in the world would someone buy a book about
    a complete nobody??

  22. LOL@ Kelly people don’t know this or maybe they do but
    Brandon started out as a skinny ass drag queen and trust me it was
    scary. He then became such a out cast and not to mention annoying
    that people stop hanging out with him in his small town of
    Greenville SC. He is a waste of Gay space!!!!!!

  23. There is a guy in Dallas that photographed Brandon, the world famous Phoenix Taylor. He has books out and after you preview his books it offers to let you make a book. This will be like Brandon’s if he has one. Be sure and check out Phoenix’s “The less you wear the less you pay” and his “If you’ll only love me all your photos are free” specials. Brandon is just a mooch playing up to the gay community while wanting to play dolls with the girls. Face it, Brandon can’t get any attention by doing anything remotely manly to get attention, try to talk to Brandon about anything that requires above a junior high education, he has no marketable skills in the workplace. He’s just a mooch that gets attention by pretending to be gay.

  24. its funny to see that literally EVERYONE is making music and has “a new single coming soon” these days! money can buy you fame, but it cannot give you talent! remember that! ♥ Thats why I neither!

  25. I read The Observer And Forth Worth Weekly and it seems like he would be all over those papers, The best way for Brandon to ruin his so called career would be live shows. His live footage consists of pathetic dancing while he lip syncs and be sure to throw in out of sync backup dancers. I’m gonna be Paris Lohan and I’m gonna be the next big thing, I’ll remake Brandon’s international hit “Sexual” and maybe feature Brandon. Remember that name PARIS LOHAN, The Voice will be squealing FABULOUS when they hear me!

  26. lol I seen his so called LIVE show performance at some hole in the wall night club and whats funny is the definition of LIVE is just that LIVE. not lip syncing and right at the start someone in the audience yelled BOO hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah to fucking funny BRANDON YOUR A JOKE!

  27. 1st off he is not from Dallas. 2nd he is not a singer and can not sing that’s why he doesn’t sing live at his so called live shows. He is so insecure that he pretty much lies about everything. From making up fake appearance dates to saying he is best friends with real famous people. He rips off everyone’s style and has the nerve to sit back and say that real famous people rip his style off…lol..lol… FAIL FAIL FAIL

  28. lol BRANDON SAYS : who’s ready for ‘PRETTY LITTLE LIARS’ tonight? BIG surprises this season! ♥

    LOL YEA BRANDON WE ARE READY FOR YOUR LIES BUT YOUR NOT PRETTY!

  29. CONFIRMED: Brandon Hilton recording with Grammy nominated producer for NOCTURNAL!

    *** BRANDON RECORDING WITH AND SOMEONE PRODUCING YOUR SO CALLED MUSIC IS 2 DIFFERENT THINGS! GET IT TOGETHER POSER!

  30. Brandon, you have no talent. I kind of want you to become a celeb, so more people can see how deluded you are. For now you’ll just remain an infamous joke to everyone who’s known of your online presence all this time.

  31. It is sad that he does not just give it up. I mean no one in Hollywood is going to hire a skinny ass gay guy.
    That is just the way the world is.Brandon please just give it up and try getting a day job at burger world.

  32. ^ what you all are doing proves that he is exactly on the right track, wherever he is, so are the talkers. Jealousy is a sickness!

  33. lol why do people do around and say people are jealous of other people?? Im in no way shape or form jealous of Brandon I just think he is a Joke thats al

  34. I am very jealous, I’ve played guitar for over twenty years and now I find out that talent isn’t necessary. Musicians and singers all over the country will be begging Brandon to share his secrets of success, just wait. I could lip sync to Cds instead of doing something stupid like using my real voice and actually learning how to play an instrument. There is a very good reason that Brandon cover his voice up with effects and it’s called not being able to sing and his dancing is like a 14 year old chick pretending to be a stripper. Dina saying people are jealous does not make up for a lack of talent.

  35. I s that the Dina in the goofy engagement video? That was one of the worst attempts at humor I’ve ever seen, you’re supposed to laugh just because it’s Brandon. What do you interpret as jealousy Dina? Anyone with a computer can duplicate what Brandon is doing, a person with a “real singing voice” can do what Brandon is doing and do it better with a karaoke machine from Toys R Us. When I saw ballad, I expected something with maybe acoustic guitar and a natural voice. This song is not a “ballad” by any definition of the word. You also have to extensively redefine dancing to consider anything Brandon does as dancing. Dina if anyone is jealous it’s you, he’s gay honey.

  36. Dina is a bit of a hog, her cheeks make me wanna try out this Nazi bar soap recipe I found (LOL). I want to get some guys together for a punk rock project, I’m liking “The Godless Sodomites” as a band name. I could write a really fucked up song about Brandon.

  37. Dina don’t be so vague. Give up some details of why people are jealous of Brandon. I especially want to know if he’s a closet hetero.
