This summer Banana Republic celebrates the inspiration of urban life with the release of City Sounds, a new digital album featuring never-before-heard tracks from the nine music artists appearing in the City Stories national ad campaign, including exclusive first tracks from OK Go and Liz Phair’s highly-anticipated new albums, as well as songs by Esperanza Spalding, Sara Bareilles, Ayo, Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carrabba, Tommy Torres and more.
The limited edition digital album, available as a gift-with-purchase only in Banana Republic stores starting May 13, reflects the diversity of these artists, ranging from acoustic soul to introspective pop, modern jazz to indie rock.
Paris-based R&B songstress Ayo sings of her travels through European metropolises, while Sara Bareilles and Dashboard Confessional search for love amid the bars and streets of their adopted cities. Both acclaimed violinist David Garrett and Grammy-winning saxophonist David Sánchez find solace at dawn in the canyons of Manhattan, and Latin pop star Tommy Torres and emerging jazz bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding celebrate their beloved hometowns (San Juan and Portland, respectively) across the continent from each other. Among the tantalizing selections are brand new songs from Liz Phair and OK Go’s highly anticipated new albums due later in 2009, only available to customers who make a purchase in Banana Republic stores during the campaign.

I'd personally like to see more student work featured. I'm a future ad school student, and I'd like to see where the bar is being set.

I'd like to see things slightly more structured maybe by consumer products or genre.

Nice blog. I looked through a bit to see more of what I'd like to see and I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to understand marketing better and how to market through my pictures...and wording and this looks like a great place for inspiration.

I'd like to see more critiques of ads and the messages they're trying to send/sending, and perhaps the progression of the company's message. I LOVED the Mocha choca-latte-ya-ya post... HYSTERICAL, and a keen introspective glimpse into the coffee wars... I agree: black folks would make Starbucks THE place to get coffee... we works like that!
And I'm now a follower!
(How could I NOT be? Jewelry Rockstar sent me... ; )
I'd like to see a retrospective of blacks ads from the past, like 'blast from the past' series. Or maybe Black ads from around the world featuring ads from coutries other than the United States.
