Lyricize.com, the world’s first and only personalised music service, was launched today by Miyow Pty Ltd. Users can create personalised – lyricized – songs on the website for occasions such as love, birthday, invitations and saying hi. Songs can be downloaded as MP3s, lyricized ringtones for mobile phones, or emailed to friends with e-greeting cards. Over 2,000 names offered (over 90% of English speaking population). Wide range of music genres are available, ranging from Sydney’s latest clubmix tunes to seductive Spanish lover versions.
The parent company, Miyow Pty Ltd, also offers turnkey personalised music solutions for businesses, allowing companies to tailor the words and names sung in advertisements, promotions and regular songs to each individual customer. This also allows artists and record labels to produce fully personalised versions of hits.
Lars Herold, CEO:
Lyricize.com provides an innovative solution to the illegal download problem in the industry, since personalisation of lyrics makes a song unique to each individual consumer.
While this is a ridiculous statement, but good for some PR. I bet there are a lot of people who are going to like the service. It reminds me of those hokey e-greeting cards with the clunky 1908’s-style MIDI audio that has you running for the volume knob.
Bottom line: At $8.00 per song I’m not sure how many people would compose a song in celebration of last night’s date, but that’s the price you’ll pay to be able to customize the chorus, verse and other parts of the song easily.
