Releasing New Children's Music

Hitplay records is launching a new children's music division ; Lifepathentertainment.

 Lifepath will initially be devoted to releasing quality children's music. The first release "Americana vol 1" contains 16 classic children's songs such as: BINGO.itsy bitsy spider, old grey mare, etc. An additional bonus track written by Phil Garland is also included on the CD.

There are several things that separate Lifepath from other children's music. First and foremost is the quality of the music. "We noticed from a musical perspective that most children's music available was  hastily arranged, poorly recorded, and generally pretty terrible" states Hitplay CEO Phil Garland. "Additionally, it can be quite trying for a parent to listen to this over and over and over"! "So I came up with the idea of putting quality first", states Phil. "Great players, real instruments, serious vocalists (like ELisa Girlando) with quality packaging,combine to make a cd children will love and parents will enjoy. Its like a record should be!"

Of course having the resources of RED music behind the CD gives it a shot at being sold in some of the largest outlets in the country. So that allows lifepath to focus on the extra quality.

As if having quality music with major distribution is not enough, lifepath has developed an online activity book to accompany the CD. "We thought it would be a great added value if we had lyrics, coloring pages, mazes, and puzzles available for children on line" states Dave Bollard. Parents can sign onto the lifepath page and their children can safely surf the site and download whatever activity pages they want. "Additionally we will offer free mp3's and special offers on new products once the site develops" states Bollard.

COME OVER TO THE LIFEPATH WEB PAGE NOW AND GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE SITE. Sign on and run through the pages and we are sure you'll agree that this is an excellent concept for brining music to children.

Classic songs, professional production, online activity book, and major distribution are the cornerstones of lifepathentertainment. We hope you enjoy.

A Strategy Develops

After our 2 hour meeting with the president and vice-president of RED music our Elisa Girlando CD release strategy is starting to develop. 

First we are going to go with the song "another songbird" as the single. The new video is up on the net and I would ask you all to check it out. The video came out great, it is "art". Most times we would not lead a new act out into the market with a ballad but the song and performance are so special we have to take the chance.

Next we are going to team up with the RED Internet team and really boost E-Girls web presence and style. Watch the sites over the next month we should see quite a lot coming from our RED partners.

The goal is to begin having Elisa play regionally with a strong Internet presence in an attempt to build on the buzz surrounding Elisa. Once that occurs we will have ammunition to go after larger venues and radio.

Our meeting was very positive and business like as the RED team really is looking for ways to break E-Girl to the world. It should be a fun ride.

A tremendous show another milestone

This past weekend we had the debut performance of Hitplay recording artist "Elsia Girlando and Out Of Truth". The show took place at Bodles Opera House in Chester, New York. We choose this venue for their love of music. We also wanted to see how the band and E-Girl would mesh, away from the NYC crowds.

Well we couln't have been happier. E-Girl sang her heart out, the band played their guts out, and the near capacity audience was BLOWN AWAY!!!! What a night!

After a discussion with CEO Phil Garland, who performed with an intensity I have never seen before, we all feel the band is capable of playing with anyone anywhere in the world. Elisa's vocals where spot on perfect, and the banter between songs was both relaxed and intirguing. The show is ready to go my friends so dont miss it.

Also today I was notified by Mike Lewis, director of internet marketing at HitPlay, that E-Girl's myspace page surpassed 19,000 hits tonight.

Another great week here at HitPlay.

peace,
