Ariana’s Brand New Key

I want to share great musical news about my daughter, Ariana Hodes. On Monday, May 12 (aka – my birthday and, therefore, auspicious), Ariana’s first single was dropped to radio, literally out of the sky, for radio programmers to “add” and “spin.” Translation – We hope Ariana’s newly recorded song, “Brand New Key,” (remember Melanie?) will be added to country radio station playlists and spun (remember records?) in rotation as often as possible.
Ariana’s photo was on the front cover of New Music Weekly, a radio industry trade publication, and the back cover of CDX, a second industry magazine. Check this link for the article in New Music Weekly. http://www.newmusicweekly.com/magazines/050914.pdf
In 48 hours, “Brand New Key” was reported by New Music Weekly to be the third most added single at a number of country music stations, ahead of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, as well as Rascal Flats. At an influential station in Lexington, Kentucky, Ariana’s song is spinning the same number of plays as Vince Gill and Brad Paisley. How cool is that?!
It’s all about gaining traction so that other programmers will notice, inspiring them to add the song to their playlist. In a quick visit to NH, Ariana visiting WOKQ in Dover and WXXK in Lebanon, giving a brand new cadillac key to the disc jockeys there (car not included.)
Ariana’s version of “Brand New Key” is fantastic, even by biased mother/voice teacher standards. You can hear it yourself by going to Itunes and purchasing it for $.99. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/brand-new-key-single/id872736482 Each Itunes purchase helps Ariana and her song gain attention and traction. You can also call your local country radio stations and request “Brand New Key.” The more requests and Itunes buys the song has, the more everyone wants to get on the bandwagon. Feel free to share this with your friends. Like Ariana on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/ArianaHH11
This is all in the shameless plug category from a very proud stage-mama.
When you hear the song, you’ll know why I’m so thrilled. Happy listening.
