Donnie Vie is one of rock’s biggest secrets who has been crafting melodic power pop and rock songs for over 30 years. He and his band were instant critics’ darlings with a debut record that soared up the charts generating two long playing MTV hits, a “Top Pick” from Rolling Stone Magazine, and inciting numerous TV and radio performances with repeat invitations from David Letterman and Howard Stern. That band was Enuff Z’Nuff, led by Grammy nominated Donnie Vie’s song writing sensibilities and distinctive melodic vocals, they continued on to make some truly great records. Over those years, Donnie has amassed over 25 albums’ 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 song writing and performing under his own name.
Rolling Stone Magazine described Donnie’s writing skills as “Beatle-esque pop song craft and ripping hard rock”, whereas Billboard Magazine says, “If there is such a thing as false advertising in rock & roll, then Enuff Z’nuff 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 ’80s rather than appreciated for the truly gifted power pop act that they were.”
The latest album, Beautiful Things, is still getting the attention it deserves, “As a piece of art it’s stunning. This collection of songs is a wonderful addition to the legacy Vie has constructed over the last four decades, but not just that, these are songs we’ll remember for years to come. These are songs to keep in your heart and let out when you need to get back from the blue.”- The Rock pit.
Donnie’s most recent release was his single “All My Favorite Things”, released worldwide on June 19, 2020 through ADA/Warner Music Group. Donnie states, “I wrote this in the quarantine/stay at home period of 2020, reflecting back on my life, career, and memories”.
As the A-side to All My Favorite Things we have the amazing “Party Time”, this song is a party anthem that is bursting with Fun and creativity from the first note till the last.
Amongst many hundreds of song, Donnie feels this is his most marketable song of his career which spans over 30 years, with 25 records collectively. The song bridges genres and age groups.
The video is something very new, exciting and highly entertaining, raising the bar on any of Donnie’s videos, including all his videos with Enuff Z’Nuff.
It is a parody storyboard themed extravaganza where he plays a very unconventional Batman accompanied by a cast of characters reminiscent of the 1966 Batman series. The fun packed video also includes the actual Bat mobile.
The Party Time song and video both contain Chip Znuff, which has brought the two together for the first time working together in 8 years.
“It’s Party time, let’s have a good time”
