Brainpower & Orange Grove Release Official Video “All the Same”

Brainpower and Orangegrove released the video for their new hit “All the Same.” The clip is shot on the three islands of Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao. The release came when the single is breaking charts in the United States. K100 Radio in Atlanta rated the track “ILL” at “ILL or KILL,” and many nationwide college charts are picking it up as well. DC Comics/Marvel legend Mike Grell helped Brainpower and Orangegrove by creating the ‘All The Same’ cover art.

About Orange Grove

Coming from one of the smallest dots on the world globe with the biggest heart, the Sint Maarten-bred band Orange Grove (OG) wants to move more than people’s bodies; OG won’t stop until they have infiltrated our minds and spirits with their infectious sounds and vibrations. They are bringing the Caribbean vibes to the colder capitals of the world and injecting more heart to the warmer ones (however much that’s possible).

Charismatic singer Michael Maidwell and close friend (and guitarist) Jacob Streefkerk formed the group in 2001. What started as a hip-hop group turned into one of the most unique blends of sound to come out of the Caribbean. OG’s music is a melting pot of everything they love: traces of rock, hip-hop and reggae are splattered all over their sound. For more than 10 years they have continued to expand their fanbase from the Caribbean to Europe all the way back across the Atlantic to the United States. This group of five dedicated and driven individuals forms an unstoppable assembly with one goal in sight: spreading the feel-good vibes to the world!
