Justin Hines Reveals New EP on Bell Sympatico portal inDiscover.net. Video premiere marks official launch of "Say What You Will" education Campaign for South Africa. Summer Shows also confirmed.
South African producer, Bronwyn Nel, felt that "Say What You Will" would resonate profoundly within her community. Even Archbishop Desmond Tutu created his own whiteboard message of hope for the video.
HAILEYBURY, ON, CANADA, June 23, 2010 /Canada PR News/ -- The video for the South African remix of Justin Hines award-winning hit song, "Say What You Will", from the new "The South Africa EP", recently debuted on Bell Sympatico's new inDiscover.net internet portal. The occasion also marked the official launch of Hines' "Say What You Will" Campaign to help build schools and to further youth education in South Africa.
When South African producer, Bronwyn Nel, felt that "Say What You Will" would resonate profoundly within her community she remixed the song with the Seta/Siyaya Learner Choir and the Keynote Acapella Group prompting Justin's film crew to head to South Africa, in May, to shoot the music video for the new version. Not only did they capture the struggles and challenges of the people at schools like Oprah Winfrey's Angel Foundation's 7 Fountains, Despatch Primary and St. Elizabeth Primary Schools, but the crew's interaction with South African children became the genesis of Justin's "Say What You Will" initiative.
The new video, which is being broadcast on South African TV during the World Cup, perpetuates the "whiteboard" concept that made the original domestic version so popular. People candidly expressed their innermost feelings for the camera by writing them on a whiteboard, pairing a simple and powerful song with a simple and powerful video that was extraordinarily optimistic and honest. Even Archbishop Desmond Tutu created his own whiteboard message of hope for the video.
Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Hines has performed all the over world and is currently touring Canada and the United States. His 2009 sophomore album, Chasing Silver, featured the hit single "Say What You Will," which was the most downloaded singer-songwriter track on iTunes within 48 hours of release and became one of the most emailed videos on MSN/Sympatico. Signed to inDiscover Recordings/Orange Lounge Recordings,
Justin's new release, "The South Africa EP" featuring both the track and music video for the South African remix of "Say What You Will," is available now at inDiscover.net. 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the new EP will go to the Stephen Leacock Foundation for Children, The Association for the Physically Disabled (Eastern Cape) and other charitable partners .
