\nTo promote the album, Vie has filmed a great new music video for a cover of the John Lennon classic, \u201cInstant Karma,\u201d which sees him playing piano by the sea…and strumming the guitar on the street! But along with these fun scenes lies a more serious message – trying to right what is wrong in the world today. The video can be viewed here: https:\/\/youtu.be\/nFhhMwBxF3E

\n\u201cWhen everyone gave so much to make this video [\u2018Instant Karma\u2019] out of love, I decided that I would pay it forward and dedicate it to a needy cause,\u201d explains Vie. \u201cThe effects of bullying are astounding. I know because I was a victim of it. Lennon campaigned for peace and love and that\u2019s what his song shall be used for.”

\nDonnie has been one of rock\u2019s biggest secrets, who has been crafting melodic power pop and rock songs for over 30 years. He and Enuff Z’Nuff were instant critics\u2019 darlings, with a debut record that soared up the charts generating two long playing MTV hits, “New Thing” and “Fly High Michelle.” A \u201cTop Pick\u201d from Rolling Stone Magazine, and inciting numerous TV and radio performances with repeat invitations from David Letterman and Howard Stern, the group released their “self-titled” and follow up \u2018Strength\u2019 on Atco Records, before being picked up by Clive Davis and signed to his Arista label for \u2018Animals with Human Intelligence.\u2019 

\nThe Grammy-nominated artist has amassed over 25 albums\u2019 worth of songs and decades of live shows to his name, both with and without his former band. Now a solo act, Vie continues his songwriting and performing under his own name. Rolling Stone Magazine described Donnie\u2019s writing skills as \u201cBeatle-esque pop songcraft and ripping hard rock,\u201d while Billboard Magazine says, \u201cIf there is such a thing as false advertising in rock & roll, then Enuff Z\u2019Nuff is one of its textbook examples. Packaged in garish peace-glam attire by their record company, the group was wrongly lumped in with the disposable pop-metal bands of the late \u201980s rather than appreciated for the truly gifted power pop act that they were.\u201d

\n“This is my first record in 4 years. I had to make sure it was great. The songs started coming, starting with \u2018I Could Save the World,\u2019 which opened the door for the rest. I got great artists to play on it like Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big), Roger Manning (Jellyfish), Matt Walker (Garbage\/Morrissey) and many other killers. The record exceeded my hopes and expectations. It\u2019s like an ice cream sundae made out of sounds & colors, with more hooks than a tackle box. And of course my  pipes, stronger than ever! The song \u2018Beautiful Things\u2019 felt like a great album title, so I expanded on that. It hits hard from start to finish. I\u2019m proud to be a big part of it, it\u2019s my best work yet, and that\u2019s saying something after nearly 25 great records with Enuff Z\u2019 Nuff and my solo stuff combined. If you like cool aggressive pop, you will love this. I sure do. Share the love, stop the hate, and lets save the world.\u201d

\nSoon, fans will be able to experience Donnie\u2019s immense musical talents once more, with the arrival of \u2018Beautiful Things.\u2019
