   Split Sounds, a new music company focussing on innovation and new digital   
   products, has announced the worldwide launch of its first initiative Cover in   
   a Week. Each week, the Cover in a Week team partners with music publishers to   
   hand-select a new song    
   for artists to cover. Artists are tasked with making the most original and   
   entertaining arrangements they possibly can, with the best recordings being   
   selected for potential sync placements in movies, TV shows, ads or playlists.   
      
   "With Cover in a Week, we are aiming to connect the dots between unsigned   
   artists and producers, and the publishers representing the greatest   
   songwriters in the world. Film and television producers as well as advertising   
   agencies are continually looking    
   for unique and interesting versions of great songs, and getting a song placed   
   in these can help establish an aspiring artist's career" co-founder Hilton   
   Rosenthal said.   
      
   In addition to licensing and sync opportunities, Split Sounds has partnered   
   with The Orchard for global distribution across all online platforms for   
   select Cover in a Week versions.   
      
   Split Sounds has been created by father and son duo Hilton and Nick Rosenthal.   
   Hilton has had a distinguished 40-year career in the music space having run   
   international record labels, publishing companies and producing major   
   international artists    
   including work with Paul Simon, Carole King, Johnny Clegg and Harry Belafonte.   
   Nick has been an entrepreneur and product innovator since age 14, and has been   
   featured at South by Southwest and Midem as well as conferences and events in   
   the USA, UK,    
   France, Germany, Switzerland and Greece. He helped launch AWAL’s Label   
   Services division (later acquired by Kobalt Music Group) and has been a   
   consultant to Coke Music and MTV in the areas of music marketing and digital   
   strategy.   
      
   "Covers have become an integral part of the music industry ecosystem, yet they   
   remain fragmented and artists have not yet harnessed their potential. Cover in   
   a Week is the perfect first step for us to begin developing our vision and   
   platform to power the    
   future of the music industry" Nick Rosenthal said.   
      
   Cover in a Week is now accepting entries for the first featured song, with   
   many more to come. Artists interested in being part of the challenge can visit   
   www.coverinaweek.com to enter.
