Redlemon Groundbreaking New Anime Music Flash "Truly" Gets Over 25,000 Hits on NewGrounds.com; Now Also Free on Redlemon Website

Huntingdon Valley, PA (PRWEB) July 6, 2006 -- New musical virtual musical artist Redlemon (www.redlemonfly.com) has received over 25,000 hits for its new original music flash anime "Truly" on Newgrounds.com, the rapidly growing new media portal based in Philadelphia. Rob Sobol, the former singer and keyboardist from SocialVoyeurs, is the musical mastermind behind Redlemon, and hails from just outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Rob says he is stunned at the amount of folks already interested in Redlemon. "I know fans are interested in anime and original music, but I had no idea the level of interest would be this great - over 25,000 hits already! Steve Nathanson, the anime Flash artist, has done a beautiful job of introducing Redlemon to the world!"

Rob also commented that, "The use of new media, like anime, for musical artists, is not completely new, but the use of Flash and new media web outlets for serious anime original music presentation is still considered groundbreaking. For instance well-known bands like Gorillaz have spent tons of money on their animated videos. But I think this represents a democratization of it, where everyday musicians, with the right artist partners, using flash, can make a really big splash without spending a huge amount of money. This is the future of music short form content! Now all we need is a deal with Apple for their video iPods!"

"Truly" introduces the Redlemon character to the world, opening with a vista of a post-apocalyptic planet, ravaged by war. Also available for free on www.redlemonfly.com, "Truly" begins the Redlemon saga, as told on the new release "Fly (the End of Wars)" by showing how Redlemon fights off the evil Army of Necromen and rescues the beautiful Sweet Tart from the grips of their evil leader.

With mature themes ranging from anti-war and child abuse, to the jumpers from the World Trade Center on 9/11, Redlemon's new musical efforts are an intriguing amalgam of pop culture and mythic storytelling. Using sung vocal, diverse instrumentation, spoken word, rap, and compared to artists as diverse as the Beatles, Gorillaz, David Bowie and Elvis Costello, Redlemon blazes fresh ground in bringing important personal and political issues to the pop music forefront.
