They invent the vitamin you invent the mix. . .
A
couple years back, Vitamin Water invited hip hop mogul 50 cent into the
lab to help them make Formula 50, but 50 never let them into the studio
to help with his beats. So Vitamin Water decided to get gangstah and
flip it on him!
Not only does 50’s new album drop today, but they’re launching their very first iphone app, “50’s sound lab.” This app allows Vitamin Water fans to go into the studio with 50 and remix his latest single, “baby by me.” Participants can then submit their versions to the nationwide contest. 50’s going to decide the winner, who will then be flown to NYC to hang out with the artist himself.
50’s sound lab is an application that allows users to take various stems of 50’s
song (the chorus, bass, treble, refrain) and reorder them to make their
own remix. remixes can be recorded, then posted to the vitaminwater fan
page and the user’s personal page, or forwarded to friends. there
are two easy ways to play: first, fans can download the free app by
using the iphone app store on their iphones or by searching “vitaminwater” in itunes. no iphone? you can also play by remixing online at www.50soundlab.com.
Apple is so excited about this integration that they are spotlighting
an editorial describing the app in the featured section in itunes next
week (stay tuned for details about this because it's going to be a huge
hit).
You'll see mobile phone media driving users to download the app on the iphone as well as display media at livenation.com. this is all complemented by a full force pr effort. in typical glacéau fashion, we're bringing fans into the studio to check out 50's process. check out the video here . http://www.youtube.com/watch?
So download the free app on your iphone or head to 50soundlab.com to start mixing your own beats. and of course make sure to forward the info to your friends!
