Four singles in four months. Are you crazy… we hear you say. It sure feels like it at times. Safe to say, it’s been full on to say the least. A lot of work and time at the helm, but it has been worth it. Things are beginning to move for the songs and the new album.
So Why Release This Way
The Idea was straight forward really. To do it differently. As social media and online music platforms continue to suck the life out of the music industry, especially independent music operations like ourselves, the crew at Sad Opera Entertainment and Arge Musik Austria came up with a neat and nifty plan. Why not try to take back control, if even in a small capacity. And that’s been the crux of it in fairness. So thanks Babsi, Julia, Sabine and Geri. It’s been so much work but it has been worth it. So the bookings, stats and radio plays tells us. We march on!
