International “Street Buzz” Precedes Release of New Music From ‘Glam’ Singer Here In States and  Europe

New York, NY (Rap Newswire) August 4, 2009 — Today’s music industry scene has been waiting for the next musical phenomenon to storm the charts and steal the hearts of millions (especially male music listeners). That wait is over and the time has arrived in the form of International Model, Jet Setter and Fashion Entrepreneur and Recording Artist, TINU. With a voice and an electric persona that is winning over music executives, music veterans and respected critics, TINU will make the rest of the world stand up and pay attention to her sophomore set, ADDICTED, scheduled for release on EliBi inc, here in the States and worldwide, Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Recently TINU’s debut music video, “Wild Things” from the upcoming CD was recently picked up by MTV BASE, which airs in Europe and Africa. The music video is picking up steam in the states by airing on TV monitors in popular retail stores in malls, music stores and other lifestyle outlets around the country. It has also been added to popular internet sites such as YOU TUBE.COM, YAHOO MUSIC, SPIKE.COM, PUNKTV.COM, BEBO.COM, GRINDTV, MYSPACE.COM, BLASTRO.COM and RNR TV.

With the popularity of stunning recording artists like LADY GAGA, KATY PERRY, PUSSYCAT DOLLS, DANITY KANE, TINU is sure to join that sorority of universal “sisters” that will catch the eye and ear of the current digital downloading public.
Addicted is an eclectic anthology of tracks, each song unique with rock, pop, danced and soul induced vibes. While many contemporary female vocalists turn to the help of ghostwriters Tinu chose to compose the lyrics on her own so listeners inherit a direct look into the singer’s laid-back sense of humor and insightful worldviews. Tinu explains that the lyrics came to her under many circumstances of events that happened at a given time in her life, allowing her to express unadulterated feelings straight from the heart. She describes the warm glow of her man on the sensual track “In Love” then flips it to the bling of a new pair of shoes which inspired “Shoeholic.” Much like Carrie Bradshaw, Tinu often finds herself wandering the streets of SOHO and Tribeca picking up the latest pair of Manolo Blahniks, Christian Louboutin, Guiseppe Zanotti, and in Europe Gianmarco Lorenzi. Although for the most part Tinu remains laid back, listeners get a glimpse into a slightly more hostile side on the track “Not the Devil,” a song that urges others not to judge, written after a fraught conversation with a close family member while the eccentric single /music video “Wild Things” encourages fans to enjoy life without drug use. The dazzling 12 track composition is distinctively fresh, crossing age, gender and cultural barriers. Her music has universal appeal while creating a perfect balance of genuine, intoxicatingly sexy slow burners and feel-good vocal confections that are full of life.

Fluent in two African languages, with a working knowledge of  French, Italian, Arabic and Hebrew, Tinu’s love of culture, aesthetics and fashion and style has been noted in popular women’s/fashion magazines such as ESSENCE and VOGUE and is regularly featured in the social pages of THE NY TIMES. Tinu is scheduled to appear on several magazine covers and feature story spotlights in Europe in support of her new CD, ADDICTED.

Tinu’s label EliBi inc.is confident that her musical style will appeal to a digital/mobile consumer, as well as traditional retail outlets around the world. The company has a strong global distributorship throughout South America, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. . European retailers are creating a “buzz” via emails and telephone calls by inquiring when Tinu’s product will be made available to their outlets and services. EliBi inc. is currently preparing a creative marketing/promotion and internet campaign designed to launch the release of ADDICTED on Tuesday, October 27, 2009. The staff is also scheduling Print and Internet Features/ Profiles on TINU in Urban, General Market and additional International media.
