London , Monday 12th September - Mind Candy, the company behind the 50 million-strong Moshi Monsters online community for kids, has moved further beyond its digital roots with the launch of a new record label – Moshi Music.
The debut single, ‘The Moshi Dance’ from Moshling Starlet, Lady Goo Goo will be available for download on iTunes from September 18th with an album in the works for later this year. The official single is being launched by popular demand following Lady Goo Goo’s massive success on YouTube, where the ‘The Moshi Dance’ video is pulling in around 1m views a month. The video is currently on over 3m hits - eclipsing established artists including Leona Lewis (her Collide video has 59,266 views), Pixie Lott (All About Tonight has clocked up 401,817 views) and Jedward (the video for Bad Behaviour has received 425,704 views to date).
The Lady Goo Goo single is the first of many planned releases featuring other Moshi Music stars including the likes of Dustbin Beaver, 49 Pence, Broccoli Spears, Hairosniff and Avril Le Scream. Each track and supporting video will be developed to offer both parents and children a combination of awesome visual content, character back-stories, silliness and fun.
Creator of Moshi Monsters and CEO of Mind Candy, Michael Acton Smith said: “We released the Lady Goo Goo music video on YouTube as a bit of an experiment and were amazed at the response and how fast it spread. Kids loved it so we though it would be smart to release it and are developing many more tracks”
