In general, we hardworking trueAnthem folk like to be generous. With everything we possibly can...our love, our new music, time...
We've given you a solid seven days to recover from whatever New Year's madness you chose to partake in. We are hoping you stayed up past midnight, at least? ;)
And in that same spirit of generosity, trueAnthem has been working around the clock...(often past midnight!) to continue to hone our model for the new music industry. We stand by our original goal: ensure that music creators continue to get paid.
We want great music for the rest of our lives! And we know that in order for that to exist, we need to find a way for the fan to always get their tunes for free, with the artist still getting paid for their work.
Cause believe us...the 3 minute Mariah Carey song that you are in love with has a LOT of effort behind it.
We're talking...
The woman herself, or her songwriting team, first experiencing some heart-wrenching moment of love lost...or just some super sexy one-night stand (you pick).
After that, the time must be made to feverishly scribble down lyrical ideas...and/or an instrument must be present for the melody to flow from the now heartbroken (or sexed up) artist/songwriting team...
that passion must then be revised and revised until, indeed, a HIT song is born...
then...well, the whole step to actually produce and record the song to what you finally download for free...it's too late for us to get into that tonight. :) but trust me, it's a lot of time, money, and 20,000 dollar microphones that come into play before that final product is delivered to you.
SO, all we ask today, is that you continue to hang hard with us at tA, trust us, and help us spread music and love and paychecks to the artists of this world.
Happy New Year.
May we all resolve to continue to work to save, not only the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, and our own retirement accounts, but also the ailing music economy...
With all our love and magic,
Happy 2009!
Peace out,
trueAnthem.
