Sony Music Entertainment today announced plans to optimize the Web destinations of its artists for viewing on mobile phones. Sony Music, which was recently ranked by comScore Media Metrix as one of the Web’s top 10 entertainment music destinations, will partner with Azuki Systems, Inc., an innovator powering a new generation of mobile media, to create mobile versions of its artist websites, offering video, photos, news, and more for the music fan on the go.

A mobile version of Michael Jackson’s official website will be the first site to launch under the initiative, marking the first fully mobile-optimized website for a Sony Music artist.

Beginning today at m.michaeljackson.com, the Michael Jackson mobile website will feature Michael Jackson news, photos and streaming access to classic videos such as “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and the unforgettable “Thriller.”

The site will allow mobile music fans to experience like never before Michael Jackson’s celebrated artistry, which has left an indelible mark on music history, and the music that will continue to inspire and influence pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop for generations to come.

“The genius and influence of Michael Jackson’s music and artistry is unparalleled,” said Adam Block, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Legacy Recordings. “We are pleased to be working with Azuki Systems to create a high quality, rich media experience for MichaelJackson.com that will allow fans to enjoy Michael’s art and vision via the site on mobile phones in much the same way they do today on their PCs.”

Sony Music will roll out mobile versions of other artists’ websites in the coming months.

EpicTilt and Sony Music Entertainment Launch TapStar on Apple App Store

Addictive Rhythm Game For iPhone and iPod Touch Features Songs From Superstars

EpicTilt today announced the launch of TapStar(TM) on the Apple App Store. TapStar is a rhythm game for the iPhone and iPod Touch that features music from an exclusive label-wide partnership with Sony Music Entertainment. The game includes songs from many of Sony Music’s superstar artists, such as Britney Spears, Cheap Trick, Cyndi Lauper, John Mayer, Los Lonely Boys, Sarah McLachlan, Three Days Grace, and P!nk. Users can play levels from their favorite artists and show off their TapStar skills to their friends as well as compete for high scores.

“TapStar represents the fruit of our labor to understand exactly what an iPhone or iPod Touch user wants in a music game,” said Jonathan Zweig, CEO of EpicTilt. “We’ve had a number of successful apps on the App Store thus far, with well over ten million downloads on the iPhone and iPod Touch, and we believe that casual gamers and music lovers will enjoy TapStar and make it an iconic app.”

TapStar will give users the ability to sample and play along with a variety of Sony Music’s recordings, and then, from the game, link to the iTunes Store to purchase Sony Music tracks.

With its unique landscape view layout, TapStar offers gamers a natural controller feel and uses the innovative Multi-Touch user interface to easily navigate the four touchpoints in the corners of the screen. By increasing the player’s agility with all four corners, TapStar’s functionality facilitates additional complexity to rhythmic patterns and combos. Meanwhile, TapStar’s powerful gaming engine, combined with its high resolution and smooth graphics, offers gamers an accurate playback experience that never loses a beat.

TapStar is available for download from Apple’s App Store on the iPhone and iPod Touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
