Check out this exclusive interview with TLC about why they chose to do this partnership with SongVest!

Why sell shares of royalties for individual songs versus the whole catalog? 
TLC: It’s all about giving our fans the freedom to choose. Some groove to “Creep” while others relate to “No Scrubs.” By offering individual song shares – “Creep”, “Waterfalls” and “Diggin On You” – we let our fans pick and choose what resonates with them.  
 
What’s appealing about selling to retail customers versus institutions? 
TLC: It’s about that genuine connection. Plus, when our fans become stakeholders in our songs, it’s like a musical partnership that goes beyond the charts. We’re in this together, working hand in hand.  
 
How has the experience been so far? Any big surprises? Any big hurdles?  
TLC: Working with SongVest has been smooth sailing. But, you know, every adventure has its challenges. One of the hurdles we’ve faced is explaining this unique concept to our fans, but so far, the journey has been exciting and we’re just getting started. 

Will people be able to stream the re-recorded songs on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music? 
TLC: Absolutely! These new renditions of our classic tracks are available for streaming right now. We want our fans to groove to our beats wherever they are, and these songs are ready to hit your playlists. 
 
Why re-record? 
TLC: Having the ability to re-record gives us the freedom to innovate and share the love with our fans. Re-recording also opens exciting opportunities for our music to be featured in TV and film, and we have complete ownership. 
 
How come every artist isn’t doing this? 
TLC: TLC has always been about finding the perfect fit with our fans. We are always looking for new and innovative ways to connect with our audience and we believe that we are one of the first to do this. We’re setting the stage, and excited to see who’s ready to join us in this musical adventure! 

The Contest ends on February 29, 2024 at 11:59 PM CT (the “Contest Period”).

As part of the deal, according to the press release, TLC is sharing 50% of the streaming royalties generated from these newly-released versions of their hits. “We’ve always tried to show our fans how much they are appreciated, from including their letters in ‘Fanmail,’ and inviting them to be a part of our last project,” adds TLC. “This partnership with SongVest offers another opportunity to show our gratitude to our amazing fans and to include them in TLC history in a very special way.”

SongVest says the limited run of TLC SongShares will be available through VIP Auctions on Friday, May 26. There will be 450 shares of “Creep – TLC Version,” 200 shares of “Diggin’ On You – TLC Version,” and 1,900 shares of “No Scrubs – TLC Version.”

Bidding for one share of any of the SongShares begins at $100 per share. Fans with successful bids at the end of the VIP Auction period will have the first opportunity to purchase SongShares following SEC qualification. Buyers will also have the opportunity to claim a complimentary digital collectible,

“We’re excited to work with TLC to engage their audience in a new and innovative way, helping them create invested fans by selling shares of music royalties directly to their audience,” adds SongVest CEO Sean Peace. “Since SongShares owners receive a portion of the royalties paid out from the songs, SongShares are a great way for artists to directly involve their fans and motivate them to share in the success of their career.”
