Having watched BEYONCE's "LEMONADE" this past weekend when it premiered on HBO, it just crossed my mind as to why none of our HMI bands think outside the box and do something DIFFERENT when releasing a CD. On her previous CD, BEYONCE dropped a cd on the market WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE NOTICE, and at the same time, DROPPED A WHOLE BUNCH OF MUSIC VIDEOS...all in one shot when the CD was released. PURE GENIUS. Which one of our HMI bands can or will do that? That certainly would be something different to bring to the table in the market.

*A CD where all the songs are CONNECTED and tell a continuous story throughout the CD...so you can follow it like you are reading a novel, or watching a movie.

*A CD where ALL THE MUSIC VIDEOS for that CD is released at the same time as the CD drops...or even better yet...Tell a continuous story...

*Some "shorts" to bridge the stories/videos in between....

HMI BANDS....THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT than the usual/normal.

KM!

Pat,
This is a very risky proposition for any HMI band to venture in. Our market is not equipped to handle such innovation. Ms. B sells her product worldwide. It's not to say that one of our bands can't do it but who will be willing to produce such record and the videos that will follow to complete that project?

Shah, I agree oui. It works for her because she's beyonce. Unfortunately, our beloved HMI market is not designed that way. In addition, that kind of move required lots of money. Mwen pa we band nan HMI sa ki gen that kind of money for such move.

Richie tried to do an hour long video with a successful song like pitit deyo but failed. I don't think the HMI is ready for that Pat...
