When we finished our first round of recordings with Elisa Girlando we backed off and gave our ears and minds a little time to decompress. Then when we went back through the songs one song jumped out at all of us "another songbird". We were concerned about leading with a ballad, but the vocal was so good we felt we had to go with it.
About that time we were approached to make a video. After discussions we felt the visuals from another songbird with Elisa would make for a great video. We went with the performance and went with "another songbird" as the video. We were more than pleased with the results.
We then had this tremendous video with this tremendous vocal and we decided to push the video ahead of our RED release; get a little pre-show buzz going if possible.
After interviewing several people I came across an old friend Andy Gesner who runs HIP video promotion. I felt very comfortable that Andy and his team would give us a great effort in getting the video out to the tertiary, secondary, and if we got lucky primary video markets. Phil and I discussed and Phil gave me the go-ahead to hire Andy.
The results from our first two weeks with another songbird is VERY Positive. We received adds throughout the county with some very big adds including:
1) FUse On Demand: 18,000,000 households add for September
2) Powerplay Music TV: 17.8 million viewers
3) Sidewalks: 3.5 million viewers
4) Street Timez 190,000 viewers
5) VME media 5,000,000 viewers
6) Screenplay 25,000 retailers nationwide
7) multiple Internet sites including :billboard/tvguide/allmusic video, 9:30 club, singinfool and many others!!!
We have a great song, we have a great vocal, we have an awesome video and programmers are seeing it. Wait until they see Elsia live it will blow their collective socks off.
