Artists are always looking for new and innovative ways to gain audience\’s attention when marketing their latest albums. Beyonce for example did something totally different when she decided to refrain from promoting her fifth studio album and instead released it unexpectedly overnight which had fans in a frenzy. And then there are artists like DJ/producer Zedd who want to go all out by inviting fans to exclusive and unforgettable parties held at secret locations to promote his upcoming album True Colors.
Each song from the album is assigned to a color as well as a city and a surprise destination that will later be revealed to 50 lucky fans who have completed scavenger hunts created by the DJ. 10 colors, 10 tracks, 10 cities, and 10 surprise locations.
Previous \”listening parties\” included caves in Austin, a boat ride in Phoenix, and bonfires in LA while the forth destination of the promotional tour was just held at Alcatraz in San Francisco. Pro skateboarder Tony Hawk even stopped by to show his support for the DJ\’s sophomore album which came as another surprise to fans.
