Keith Forbes (previously known as I. Write) is campaigning heavily for his latest release "The Lightsaber Album". In a recent press statement he made it clear stating, "This project is going to break the Billboard". With a newly found charisma, Forbes unveiled a new single available for free download entitled "Broadcast". The single seems to engage most listeners with it's self-assessment, of the artist's emotional difficulties due to a lack of followers. As the cinematic chorus approaches you get the feeling Forbes is starving for an audience as he bares his soul saying, "Is anyone out there? I know that you're listening". Forbes delivers his message with conviction; almost as if he knows what the future holds for him. It is hard to say if Keith will reach Billboard success, but my guess is he's is off to a great start.Keith Forbes (previously known as I. Write) is campaigning heavily for his latest... more

What Label recording artist and Popular Music President announced on Friday, March 5, 2010 that he will be releasing a series of viral videos to promote his first single "Terror".
I. Write went into details by stating;
"Its hard for any independent artist to compete against the majors when they have all the resources. But, where they don't give us a lot of credit is in our creativity and that's where their weakness lies. I have always been an artist and an owner so at the end of the day I see it and study it all, so nothing gets past me. I wanted to compete. Terror, Whatevers Necessary, and Popular Music all compete. these videos are just my way of making lemonade. I guarantee it going to be like watching CSI or Law and Order, or Grey's Anatomy for that matter. Your going to want to see it. People are going to watch it. then play the single Terror, then buy Whatevers Necessary. And when its all said and done, ultimately your going to make the decision as to the outcome of not only the characters, but my life. I feel that strongly about the music, that strongly about the label. Just because you spend a million dollar doesn't mean your gonna sell a million records. We can compete. I. Write will make the Billboard Charts. Whatevers Necessary will be received well and sell well. You just have to have a great idea, great music and lots of support. Thankfully I'm blessed to have all three.What Label recording artist and Popular Music President announced on Friday, March 5,... more
