RENAME is proud to announce a new project which is unlike anything we have seen or heard in the music market before. We will release a complete album entitled "Real Songs for Real People" with a projected released date of Summer 2010.
This album will feature 11 songs which will be sponsored by YOU, the music fans, and will be written about REAL people. In fact, each of the 11 songs will be named after a REAL person. Who are these people? They could be YOU! RENAME is seeking no more than 11 "Song Sponsors", plus as many "Fan Followers" as possible to assist in the creation of this album. From now until October 31, RENAME will seek individual Song Sponsors, and anybody can fill a spot.
For the price of $250, you can become a song sponsor and become a permanent part of the Rename album! Here are the details for the Song Sponsors. Each Song Sponsor will have one of the 11 songs NAMED after them, or named in honor of another person that you choose (though we can't use the full, legal name of any person other than the song sponsors themselves). That's right, you can choose to have the song named after yourself, or you can choose another special person in your life for whom the song will be specifically written. It could be a best friend, a lover, a spouse, a family member, or even a pet.
The Song Sponsor will also give Rename a brief description of what they would like the song to be about, so that it relates to the person for whom the song is named. Rename will write the song using the Song Sponsor's ideas, but will retain the license to write the song the way the artist feels it will best fit the band's sound, lyrical style, etc. In other words, Rename will write the specific song, but will attempt to fit the lyrics to the Song Sponsor's general idea. All Song Sponsors will have their names included in the liner notes of the "Real Songs for Real People" CD when it is released, along with a photo of themselves or the person for whom the song was named, unless such a mention is not desired by the Song Sponsor. All Song Sponsors will also receive the same benefits as the Fan Followers...
RENAME is registering Fan Followers who desire to follow the progress of this unique project from the beginning to it's final release. This promises to be a unique and entertaining journey as you see what the band does with each Song Sponsor's name and idea. For the price of $25, anybody can register to be a Fan Follower. Here are the details of what Fan Followers will receive: Fan Followers will receive special production updates from Rename via email as the project progresses. These updates will include notes about which particular songs are in writing and productions stages, AND those updates will be accompanied with exclusive early demos and scratch recordings so you can hear the progress being made on each song in real time.
You'll hear each change that is made and every piece that is added to the puzzle as the "Real Songs for Real People" album nears completion. Fan Followers will also receive an autographed copy of the finished "Real Songs for Real People" CD once it is released. The "Real Songs for Real People" CD album will be released in physical and digital formats once it is complete and everybody will be able to purchase the release at that time. But Song Sponsors will have a permanent place on the album, and Fan Followers will have heard the songs as they progressed toward completion. Take this opportunity to be part of the creative process and enjoy a year of Rename's music! (note: Rename may release other CD's and digital projects during the production of "Real Songs for Real People".
Those separate recordings will not be presented or delivered as part of the "Real Songs for Real People", Song Sponsor, and Fan Followers project.) Real Songs for Real People
