Tomorrow will be the official release of “New You-niverse” both single and lyric video.  This song was written for the ‘Start The Car’ album, but because the lyric wasn’t finished in time I had to let it swim.  Recently upon transferring my analog tapes to digital I heard the guitar part, got inspired to finish the song and recut it.

A lot of people are on social media testifying to the fact that money has been taken from the artist on all fronts i.e., labels, publishers, PRO’s, Live Nation, the venues and now the behemoths Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.

At the same time, you can’t believe how difficult it is to get people to comment, add to playlists, give likes…  It’s a simple gesture that costs nothing but a minute of your time and means so much to the artist.  As you know, people read comments.

To reiterate this point I’m going to personally choose a random comment on YouTube and send another copy of the vinyl “A View From 3rd Street”.

For some reason Spotify wouldn’t allow me to set this single up.  I think their software has been funny lately because last time it was no problem, but because i’ll have to promote it after the release, it disqualifies me from any curators adding to playlists.  This is where people who listen to my music can really help, so once again if you can find the time to leave a YouTube comment, not Facebook that just goes away, but YouTube, and add the song to any Spotify playlists you can, it helps so much.

Thanks to all who’ve subscribed and supported.  It really means a lot!
Cheers-
Jude
