Curious about the musician making a comeback?
KFC, known for its famous fried chicken, is making a surprising entrance back into the music industry. In Indonesia, KFC previously had a successful program where local artists’ CDs were sold in their restaurants, resulting in the sale of millions of units.
In an unexpected move, KFC even had a presence at the 2019 Ultra Music Festival in Miami, featuring a set by Colonel Sanders himself. Now, KFC has released a new song titled “Finger Lickin’ Machine,” which is available on various platforms. Although the exact number of listeners is unknown as it has not yet surpassed Spotify’s playcount threshold, the accompanying music video has garnered 4,000 views since its debut on Monday.
Looking ahead, the Glenn Gould Foundation is preparing for a significant event in Toronto on May 9 to honor Elton John. Additionally, for those interested in managing a grunge band, a new video game called ROCKBEASTS allows players to immerse themselves in that role.
Alan Cross, a prominent figure in the music industry with over 40 years of experience, has interviewed some of the biggest names in rock, from David Bowie and U2 to Pearl Jam and the Foo Fighters. His expertise has extended to his work as a musicologist and documentarian, particularly through programs like The Ongoing History of New Music.
While it may seem unusual for a fast-food chain like KFC to have ties to the music industry, their history of successful ventures in music-related projects suggests otherwise. With their ability to navigate both the culinary and musical worlds, KFC continues to surprise and innovate in unexpected ways.
