Turning a page
We’ve moved!
Unicum – Management, Publishing & Consulting is now HERE.
New needs call for a new website. As much as I love WordPress, their audio, photo & video upload process (when not requesting a paid upgrade…) was getting frustrating, so thank you Tumblr for being such a great alternative.
It will now be much easier for us to share music, photos and videos on the go of all Unicum artists without the dread of a new recap post building up for me on top of it all…
In case you were worried, fear not : all previous posts will remain on line and are available here.
For any updates from now on, please use the www.unicum-music.com address to land in the right place.
See you there very soon and thank you all for your loyalty!

Links galore
It’s been a good couple of weeks since I last posted and I’m just tired at the thought of all I have to write to sum up everything that has happened since. So I’ve decided I’d just to a links compilation for all artists (pure alphabetical order). Simpler, faster and experimental (as far as my website stats are concerned, as I’m more often than not : baffled).

Mademoiselle Sane a fêté la sortie numérique de son nouvel album “Ca n’coûte pas grand chose de rêver” en début de semaine en partageant en exclu un teaser video sur le making-of de l’album.
Décidément bonne semaine puisque l’album a aussi été mis en avant sur la home page de MusicMe (‘Album à découvrir’) et sur la home page Chanson Française de Deezer (juste a côté de Thomas Fersen). C’est pas beautiful ça?

And now… the update
“Fresh, so fresh, exciting, tadi dadi dum…”
Yes, I know I only post updates every fortnight or so and that I’m terrible at keeping to schedule.
Then again, I also know that those of you who need immediate updates are already fans on facebook and following @unicum_music on twitter
Before I travel to London and the next seven days swallow me up in some kind of frightening time warp, here’s the fresh news recap Unicum Artist by Unicum Artist.
