LeRose Cleans Up Online With New Album

CJaye LeRose hasn’t stormed up the radio charts yet and she’s anything but a regular face on TV. However, if you have a computer, visit YouTube and are into social networks such as Facebook and Twitter then chances are you may already be a follower or friend.

In 2009, LeRose created her own YouTube channel to raise awareness about animal adoption. But she didn’t receive much reaction until she began posting videos of her songs. She now has over 2.5 million views and 35 thousand subscribers. LeRose has also garnered over 18 thousand Twitter followers and more than 15 thousand Facebook ‘likes.’

“My channel grew like it did not only because of my love for music, but also because of my love for people,” says LeRose who left her hometown Houston only a few short months ago to move to Music City. “I would spend all day just writing people back and answering as many comments as possible. I’ve gotten to be friends with so many of my subscribers.”

Now the young artist is set to release a nine-track album on July 12 called Date With The Tub. “I’ve been waiting so long for this day,” laughs LeRose. “I’m finally ready to take the plunge. Thanks so much to everyone for their support. I love you all!”

The first single from the new package is “The Porch,” which debuted exclusively on Sirius-XM’s The Highway in May. CJaye also helped out the radio network as The Highway’s official video blogger at the recent CMA MusicFest in Nashville.

“Social networking” has become an overused marketing phrase—discussed continuously, but rarely implemented. That makes it all the more contagious when an indie artist without the clout of a well oiled marketing machine, attracts attention in the form of fans, followers and views and ends up with more links than a chain fence.

3. Slow Down
4. Love You Like A Country Song
