Wyclef TouchTunes Previews and Parties


11/26/07
.
(PR) TouchTunes Music Corporation, the largest on-location digital entertainment network, today announced the pre-release of award-winning recording artist and humanitarian Wyclef Jean's latest album, �The Carnival II (Memoirs of an Immigrant)." The album will be available on 15,000 TouchTunes digital music systems nationwide on November 26th, giving fans the chance to enjoy Wyclef's newest album a week before it's scheduled to hit store shelves on December 4th. Other TouchTunes locations across its network of nearly 30,000 digital music systems will be able to download and offer songs from the album beginning on November 26th as well.

Columbia Records and TouchTunes will also bring Wyclef fans under one roof through a series of special listening parties at TouchTunes locations across the country, at least one of which will feature an appearance by Wyclef himself. TouchTunes' work with Wyclef and Columbia not only highlights the strength of its entertainment network, but also shows TouchTunes' ability to create excitement via specially designed events -- which bring listeners together for actual social network experiences.

Beginning last week, participating TouchTunes locations featured a series of on-screen billboards that created awareness for the album's first single, "Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)" as well as Wyclef's new documentary film, "Cry Haiti." Listeners were also able to respond to an interactive survey about the new album and had the opportunity to join Wyclef's fan club. Additionally, Wyclef's record label, Columbia Records, began distributing 50,000 co-branded post cards throughout its network of influencers across the country.
