Press Release Source: nFinanSe Inc. On Tuesday May 11, 2010, 8:00 am
TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--nFinanSe Inc. (OTCBB: NFSE - News), a leading reloadable prepaid card provider, in conjunction with its entertainment partner, Inspire, today released Volume 2 on its online music site, www.nFinanSeMusic.com, which provides free downloads by new artists and is intended to appeal to young adults ages 18 to 25.
“Music is an integral part of each of our lives and we want to use it to connect the nFinanSe brand with everyone who loves new, cutting-edge songs,” said Jerry R. Welch, Chairman and CEO of nFinanSe. “We’ve identified eight new, exciting artists, all with an interesting story to tell. Their sounds are all unique, distinctive and fresh for today’s music lovers.”
“We’re proud of our innovative approach to promoting emerging artists and fortifying great American brands like nFinanSe,” said Jimmy Dunne, President of Inspire. “There’s so much amazing talent out there and this is a fantastic way to provide artists with meaningful exposure to a broad, new audience.”
“We have connected the nFinanSe brand with thousands of young music lovers in a very powerful way that is familiar and comfortable for them,” according to Mr. Welch. “We will continue to build on what we have learned with Volume 1 to further expose our brand with this demographic.”
Volume 2 features songs spanning a wide variety of musical artists from country and contemporary Christian to rock and jazz.
Featured artists include:
* Van Risseghem’s career has exploded with critical acclaim from Relevant Magazine and College News Magazine. His single, “The Motions” debuted at No. 1 on the top-40 German radio station BigFM. He was selected as one of the top 100 artists on MTV’s Ourstage.com and most recently was filmed for a 30 minute Cox Cable “ON DEMAND” special.
* Press Play’s debut album “Life Is Beautiful” was No. 45 on the Billboard 200, No. 2 on Christian charts, and they also made the independent record charts at No. 6. All proceeds from the sale of their CD go directly to the Los Angeles Dream Center, which provides shelter, life rehabilitation, education, basic needs, job training and numerous resources to Los Angeles' most impoverished neighborhoods.
* Say It Twice blends the European influences of U2 and Coldplay with American acts like The Killers and Kings of Leon to create their own unique sound. They recently released their self-titled EP and have received positive reviews. According to one reviewer, “The music is honest, unadorned, inoffensive pop-rock...a bevy of soaring vocals, swelling choruses and a mid-tempo simplicity.”
* Tim Halperin’s piano-based pop music has a touch of jazz and hints of his biggest influences such as Ben Folds and Elton John. Fans will tell you that Tim’s way with catchy melodies and his unmistakable rhythmic piano vibe are his most distinctive traits. Currently, Tim is on the “Sorority Tour,” traveling to universities near and far performing for sorority meetings. He’s been featured on AOL Music Main page, XM Radio’s Radar Report, NBC’s Kansas City Live and showcased in Austin’s Red Gorilla Music Festival.
“We view nFinanSeMusic.com as a revolutionary new approach to brand marketing,” Mr. Welch said. “Simply put, it is event marketing meets technology and social media.”
