Mood Entertainment releases Jewel's latest album

"The Merry Goes 'Round," a collection of children's songs, will be distributed as part of the Fisher-Price™ Music Series

TORONTO, June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Mood Entertainment, a division of leading in-store media specialist, Mood Media Corporation (TSX:MM) (LSE AIM:MM), is set to release the latest music album from singer-songwriter Jewel on August 16, 2011. The new album, a collection of original and classic children's songs titled "The Merry Goes 'Round," is her second production with Mood Entertainment.

Jewel's successful debut in the category, "Lullaby," was released as part of Mood Media's Fisher-Price Music Series in early 2009. The album's first single, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," reached #1 on The Top Children's Songs chart the week of its release.

Ken Cross, President of Mood Entertainment, said "We're thrilled to be working again with such a talented artist on what's sure to be another hit."

The versatile singer-songwriter, actress and poet has sold more than 27 million albums worldwide, has seven Billboard Hot 100 hits, a bestselling poetry collection and a new television show on Bravo. The inspiration for her collection of children's songs is very close to home as she's expecting her first child this summer. Jewel has been keeping her fans up-to-date on the new album's progress online at www.jeweljk.com and via Twitter (http://twitter.com/jeweljk).

"By pairing Jewel with Fisher-Price, and using our retail distribution network, we're creating a market for a fantastic collection of songs that might not have gotten that opportunity in the traditional system," said Lorne Abony, CEO and Chairman of Mood Media Corporation. "This is a proven approach, and we have more partnerships like this in the pipeline."
