Today Ringo announced the winner of the competition to
make the official music video for “Wings,” the first single from his current
CD, Ringo 2012 (Hip-O/Ume). The contest was launched in
January with Genero.tv, giving filmmakers the opportunity to put their work
directly in front of one of the world’s most influential artists and Universal
Music Enterprises, one of the industry’s leading record labels.
In a video statement, which can be seen on his website www.ringostarr.com,
Ringo said, “I want to congratulate everyone who participated in the
Wings video contest. There were so many good one’s it was really hard to choose
but in the end you have to choose just one so in this competition the winner is
Jem Gerard. What a great little video that was for Wings, my song on
my CD," Ringo also gave a shout out to a few others whose video’s were
also really great including, “Menelaos Pab, Chris Martin and Jake Hanne, they
were good too."
Ringo’s new album, titled simply Ringo 2012 and
produced by Ringo, was recorded in Los Angeles and mixed in England by Ringo
and Bruce Sugar. Ringo 2012 is his second album on Hip-O/UMe,
and was released on January 31 in the United States and January 30
Internationally. Of the 9 tracks, two are covers, “Think It Over” and “Rock
Island Line,” and two are new versions of his own songs, “Wings” and “Step
Lightly.”
