OVERVIEW

Description

ALB is an emerging french musician who’s planning to release his second album in 2013. The thing is, like many other artists, ALB isn’t supported by a major label yet.

To promote and finance his upcoming album, ALB came up with GOLDEN CHAINS, a unique participative music video, in which the artist took up the challenge of selling his personal daily life’s items… for real.

The goal : to use the revenue gained to fund the production of his next album.

From his old sneakers to his musical instruments, including the rental of his apartment, GOLDEN CHAINS gives the audience the opportunity to purchase in real time all the things that ALB is getting rid of, via well-known e-commerce websites. Such as : ebay, airBnB, asosmarketplace, iTunes, meetic…

Launched on June 13th 2012, with a 0€ media plan, GOLDEN CHAINS has received a warm welcome on the internet and has been relayed in tons of blogs from both the music and media world.

- All the items have been sold in less than 10 days.

- Up to now, the music video has been viewed in 158 countries around the world.

- + 170% of like increase on the artist’s Facebook page

Most of all, ALB is today in studio, recording his upcoming album. He has finally been approached by some major labels and is currently about to be signed.
