Foghat Releasing New Album ‘Under The Influence’ On June 24

0

Foghat have announced plans to release a new album, Under the Influence, their 17th studio record and first since 2010’s Last Train Home, this summer.

Under the Influence was produced by Grammy-nominated Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood). Work began in 2013 at the band’s Boogie Motel South studio in Florida, but eventually moved to Nashville’s Dark Horse Studios.

“I met Tom when presenting three awards to Buddy Guy and Tom (his producer) at the Memphis Blues Awards,” founding drummer Roger Earl said in a press release. “Tom said that he was a fan, and would love to produce a Foghat record. Putting that in the back of my mind, this was the perfect opportunity. Tom came down to Boogie Motel South to meet the band and we clicked and started writing together immediately. Working with him was inspirational!”

Under the Influence will be released on June 24.

Spotify adds sponsorships and statistics to playlists

0

Music listening has changed a lot over the years. We’ve moved past the album, the single, even the download. Now it’s all about the playlist. Spotify’s 400+ owned and operated playlists anchor the Spotify brand and experience. Their playlists span every genre, mood and moment, soundtracking the day for millions of people around the world. Playlists make every moment better, from commuting, to focusing, to working out, to gaming, to partying, to falling asleep.

And now, brands can sponsor Spotify’s owned and operated playlists to reach and engage target audiences through the passion point of music, during the moments that matter. Just a few weeks ago, Kia sponsored New Music Friday to introduce its NEW Kia Sportage. Through the sponsorship, Kia was able to promote their new Sportage to users as they discovered new music throughout the week. And so far, the results have been outstanding, both in terms of audience engagement and brand impact.

 

How does Sponsored Playlist work? It’s as easy as 1,2,3:

  1. Find the perfect playlist. Leverage Spotify’s deep music intelligence to find the perfect playlist that best matches your target audience and campaign objectives. Sponsor it for one week.
  2. Promote your playlist. We’ll work together to drive streams of your playlist during your sponsorship, through a combination of native promotion and brand marketing. And we’ll give you social tools so you can promote it, too.
  3. Unlock exclusive In-Playlist Media and native branding. Every listener tuning into your Sponsored Playlist will be immersed in your brand’s message, across audio, video, and display. We’ll work together to blow the doors off playlist usage during your sponsorship to amplify your brand messaging. Our exclusive In-Playlist Media package includes:

– Premium native logo placement

– Ownership of the first ad break

– 100% display SOV

– Industry exclusivity

With Sponsored Playlist, it’s all about matching the playlist to your marketing goals. Think content plus context; the right message in the right moment. Cardio or Power Workout are perfect for a footwear brand expanding from lifestyle shoes to workout sneakers. A QSR adding breakfast to the menu? How aboutMorning Commute? An entertainment company with a summer blockbuster teeny-bopper flick? Teen Party, of course. You get the idea.
