Fans Get Chance to Play with MXP4 Interactive Singles from 3 of The Mercury Prize 2009 Nominees including winner Speech Debelle
9th September 2009: MXP4 today announced interactive singles from 3 of The Mercury Music Prize finalists - Speech Debelle, winner of the prestigious prize –La Roux and Bat for Lashes. The interactive singles, based on MXP4’s interactive digital music solution, showcase these leading British music artists, allowing fans to play with remixes of their songs (REMIX IT), sing along to the tracks (SING IT) and strip down the song to listen to the different instruments (MIX IT).
MXP4’s solution is designed to work stand alone or with new interactive digital album formats such as Apple’s Cocktail or the CMX format music labels are reportedly working on.
Fans can go online to create their own music experience as follows:
Consumers can use different MXP4 modules to:
· MIX IT: Take out specific instruments to play along or listen to different instruments
· SING IT: Re-discover lyrics and play with it by muting/adding the vocals
· REMIX IT: Discover and play with remixes to create their own version
Albin Serviant, CEO of MXP4, says: “In the same way that The Mercury Prize recognises new music talent in the form of the best album from Britain or Ireland, the adoption of our technology by these artists is recognition of the emergence of interactive music. The music industry is seeing the revenue opportunities that bringing back the total album experience can deliver. MXP4 is at the heart of this trend, delivering it today to allow consumers to play with the music and consume it in new ways.”
