And finally - "Thinking of Someone Else" 4-track EP is available for download on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Napster and other major international digital outlets throughout the US, UK & Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

International radio promotion will be launched shortly, but in the meantime, here's quite an amusing forum created re: "Thinking of Someone Else" in the UK...

A few more of these have been active in Russia, Poland, etc. as of lately...

Not to mention new remixes and reworks of the Riffs & Rays and Dr. Octavo versions of the track... Loads more are available on youtube and a particularly ear-catching rework is DJ Simon Cox "Puerta Del Sol Vs ToSE", so do check it out!

Can't wait to hear what you all think of the extended club remixes of "Thinking of Someone Else" available for download on iTunes as bonus tracks to the radio mixes - feel free to comment and share your views, personal favorites, etc. on the iTunes page for "Thinking of Someone Else" (just type in Tinatin and/or the title of the song - et voila!)

Here's to a prosperous AND productive 2009, and as always, so grateful to you all for your immense support - this is only the beginning...so stay tuned ... TONS more on the way!!! :-)

Sharing is Caring - Is It Really?

A few hours ago, I posted a link to an unknown UK seller's advert for an original Promo Only copy of "Thinking of Someone Else" on ebay.

Yes, some of us may argue that a leak, particularly of a physical copy as opposed to a digital download, could possibly signify interest, for there's never a product that survives certain mediums and formats unless there's real, tangible demand for it out there. Partly true, I agree.

But here's the big dilemma - when you're not an independent artist making your own records, writing your own songs solo and basically doing your own thing without a team behind you, how can you possibly expect to keep everyone happy while your music is getting played - and sold, albeit secretly - behind your back? All it does is promotes you as an artist, and the song gets exposed without allowing you to compensate those who were there to make it happen. Let's face, art is great but it's also a business, especially nowadays.

I have now got my producer, the remixer and co-producer of the track, the co-writers, publishers, etc. who are collectively furious about this - and quite rightly so. For while I'm getting my name and ego exposed all over bit by bit, they are losing out on the royalties.

Is that fair? You tell me.... I'd love to hear your views x
