Kidz Bop Introduces Interactive Music Platform

KIDZ BOP, the most-popular and recognized music brand in the U.S. for kids aged 5-12, today released the latest volume in its best-selling children's music series, KIDZ BOP 15. The album release is enhanced by a range of interactive music experiences at www.KIDZBOP.com, including a free download of the sing-a-long version of the first single, "Let It Rock," and an opportunity for kids to use the Kidz Bop Video Karaoke Maker to upload their own karaoke versions of four different KIDZ BOP songs. For digital mavens, an exclusive, deluxe edition of KIDZ BOP 15 will follow shortly on iTunes, featuring two bonus tracks, "Realize" and "This Is Me." Featuring today's most popular songs, sung by kids for kids, KIDZ BOP CD titles have earned nine Gold certifications since their debut in 2001.

"We are offering unprecedented interactive opportunities for kids to experience KIDZ BOP 15," explains Liz Nealon, general manager, KIDZ BOP. "And all KIDZ BOP products are kid-friendly and parent-approved, making it a worry-free entertainment experience the whole family can participate in at home or on the move."

Leading the way in digital A&R for the 21st century, KIDZ BOP is finding tomorrow's stars by creating a one-of-a-kind virtual space in which talented kids can upload performance videos and web shows for the entertainment of their peers. Nealon has made interactive initiatives a priority for KIDZ BOP since joining the company in October. She adds, "As we continue to evolve the KIDZ BOP brand, we understand the importance of creating a sophisticated, yet kid-friendly, safe online environment that allows this audience to express themselves and interact with others on their own terms. The new karaoke feature gives all kids the chance to take the virtual stage to be seen and have their voices heard."
