Quelques nouvelles du prochain signle de MAGENTA :
"Magenta will celebrate their move to a new label Tigermoth records, with the release of a single âSpeechlessâ as both a download and CD single on March19th. The song is a slice of exuberant, infectious prog rock with a great hook and a strong contemporary feel.
Says Magenta keyboard player Rob Reed, who co-wrote the song with singer Christina Booth,âPeople may be surprised with Speechless â it shows a side of the band that not many have heard. However, we feel itâs a very strong song, and the perfect vehicle to increase the profile of progressive rock in the UK. We genuinely believe we can get it into the top 40.â
A few years ago this would have been an over optimistic assumption for a band on a independent label, however the huge changes in the way that the UK charts are compiled â with the increasing influence of downloads against physical CD sales â means that if any band can organise its fan base to download their single within the first week of release, it can chart, as several artists like John Otway, Marillion and Koopa have shown.
âThis is also a chance for Prog to show that it can still cut it commercially.â Says Rob. âIdeally, people will download the single, check out our other music, and this will hopefully lead them to discover other prog bands. It should benefit us all.
Weâd like as many people as possible to download the single during the first week of release. There will be two versions of the song, plus a new version of âAngerâ from our second album Seven, so please buy as many of these as you can afford as they all count towards the chart placing. If everyone pulls together, a UK top 40 is a real possibility. You wonât just be promoting Magenta, youâll be promoting Prog.â
The band have shot a video to go with the single and a short clip is online at a special mini-site that the label have set up for the single at www.magentasingle.com. Both CD and download versions also include a superb new full-band arrangement of Anger showcased at the bands live shows towards the end of last year.
The tracks for download will be:
