Karaoke for Xbox 360 Brings the Fun of Singing Home
MONTREAL, Canada, November 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The KARAOKE Channel to collaborate on a new entertainment service for Xbox LIVE
The KARAOKE Channel, a property of Stingray Music USA Inc., an affiliate of the
innovative Montreal-based provider of multi-platform music services Stingray Digital Group
Inc., today announced their collaboration on "Karaoke" for Xbox 360, an exciting new
entertainment service that will be available for download through Xbox LIVE in time for
the holidays.
The KARAOKE Channel will draw on its leading expertise in the karaoke business to
provide Xbox LIVE members with streaming of a complete library of karaoke songs, further
enriching the unique experience Xbox 360 owners already enjoy. With a library of over
8,000 songs including the latest hits and golden oldies, in top genres like Pop, Rock,
Country, R&B/Hip-Hop and more, there will be songs for everyone in the family to enjoy.
"As the owner of the world's largest licensed karaoke library and karaoke service on
TV and Internet, the KARAOKE Channel will combine its expertise with the advanced
capabilities of the Xbox 360 platform from Microsoft to develop the best in-home karaoke
experience ever," says Eric Boyko, President and CEO of Stingray Digital Group Inc. "Now
anyone can access our vast library and sing in a fun and interactive way right from their
Xbox."
"Karaoke" for Xbox 360 is simply fun
"Karaoke" for Xbox 360 is easy to launch and makes it easy to sing. Karaoke fans will
sing along to scrolling lyrics on screen while their avatar performs the song on stage
with a full complement of stage props, backup band and an adoring audience. The more songs
are sung and poses struck, the more moola, props, fans and fun are earned as achievements
are awarded.
Songs don't require downloading; they play immediately via streaming for a robust
karaoke experience. To keep the party going, songs can be queued via the top navigation
through search, browse or SmartGlass integration, which connects a tablet or mobile device
to the Xbox 360 console. Songs can be added to Favorites so they're super-easy to find, or
can be found through the History list to sing them over and over again. Other options
include key change and a lead vocal track to help sing less familiar songs. To access all
of the features, an Xbox 360 Headset, Xbox Wireless Microphone or an Xbox 360 compatible
USB microphone is required.
Available on Xbox LIVE in time for the holidays, "Karaoke" for Xbox 360 will have a
selection of free sample songs that will change frequently. Full access to the entire
library is available for blocks of 2, 6 or 24 hours by redeeming Microsoft Points. Songs
are added to the library on a regular basis as they are produced and licensed, giving
everyone a great reason to launch The KARAOKE Channel on Xbox LIVE to discover new songs
to sing.
