UNIVERSAL MUSIC ENTERPRISES CASTS A SPELL BRATZ™ GENIE MAGIC™ CD, BASED ON THE WORLDWIDE HIT GIRLS' LIFESTYLE BRAND
New CD Features Songs from The New DVD Of The Same Name As Well As From The Hit Bratz™ TV Series
Los Angeles, CA � March 8, 2006 - The Bratz™ -- Yasmin™, Cloe™, Jade™ and Sasha™, "The Only Girls With A Passion For Fashion™," made their musical debut last summer with Bratz Rock Angelz, which became a staple on the Billboard charts for the rest of 2005. In addition, the Bratz ™ headlined a hit DVD and videogame of the same name, as well as starring in the highly rated Saturday morning series Bratz™ on 4Kids TV on FOX. On April 11, 2006, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will release the newest Bratz™ DVD feature Bratz Genie Magic™. On that same day the brand new album also entitled Bratz Genie Magic, will be released by Hip-O/UMe.
The album includes five songs featured in the new DVD ("Make You Wanna Dance," "Never Gonna Give Up," "The Way We Shine," "Life's A Wild Ride" and "All Together") as well as songs from the Bratz™ TV series, including the popular TV theme song. Genie Magic hopes to emulate the success of Rock Angelz, which rocketed to #1 on the Kid Audio chart and debuted in the Pop 100. Matthew Gerrard, one of today's most in-demand and successful pop writer-producers, has penned all of the songs on Genie Magic. Currently, Gerrard's "Start Of Something New" can be heard on the #1 album in the country, the soundtrack to the Disney Channel original movie High School Musical.
He also co-penned the hit "Breakaway" for Kelly Clarkson and has worked with such artists as Hilary Duff, Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson and Jesse McCartney.
The Genie Magic album embraces the Bratz™ philosophy of self-expression, being who you are and feeling empowered with songs such as "The Real You," "Invincible," "When We're All Together," and "Makin' It Happen."
Bratz™, a wildly popular line of fashion dolls, manufactured by MGA Entertainment, a leader in consumer entertainment products for children of all ages, became a worldwide phenomenon among tween girls. Bratz™ has won more awards and received more press recognition than any other fashion doll brand since its debut in 2001.
