-No. 1 Trending Topic on Twitter and Over One Million Streams on MySpace -Sliimy Debuts as First Artist on Perezcious Music/Warner Bros. Records *Sliimy is pronounced "Slim-ee" - (rhymes with Jimmy) though some fans refer to him as Sleeeeeeeeeeee-me NEW YORK--(Business Wire)-- 20-year-old French singer songwriter Sliimy - already a phenomenon in his own country as well as on Twitter and MySpace (myspace.com/sliimy) with over one million streams - will be digitally releasing his debut CD "Paint Your Face" on Perezcious Music/Warner Bros. Records on September 15th, it was announced today by his record label. Sliimy is the first artist signed to Perezcious Music - Perez Hilton`s label with Warner Bros. Records. Sliimy has been described as "an artist with high energy and childlike glee that suggests a kindergarten Prince with ADD let loose in a toy instrument shop of the future" and "a tumble of colours and curls with an array of styles and eras who darts between exuberant pop-funk and mournful ballads." It`s no wonder that last month he became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter as part of one of the biggest viral campaigns of the year with everyone from Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus tweeting, "Who is Sliimy?" Blog gossip king Perez Hilton began writing about Sliimy`s music last December after receiving an email of Sliimy`s cover of Britney Spears' "Womanizer." As a result, Sliimy was signed to Warner Bros. Records in France while still in high school. His CD went to No. 2 in France and has been certified gold. Sliimy opened up for Britney Spears and Katy Perry on select dates in Europe this summer. Sliimy`s "Paint Your Face" CD was co-written by Sliimy and musical partner Feed who produced all the tracks as well. Sliimy is already receiving critical raves from music publications like NME as well as UK`s The Guardian: "The first word that comes to mind is fabulous." And from Radio France: "An album so zingy and fresh it explodes in your mouth like the sweetest of sorbets! This album should be sold in a cone." "Sliimy has been compared to Mika and Prince but truly is a unique artist that makes music that is universal, fun, sophisticated and quirky pop songs that will make you happy and put a smile on your face," commented Hilton. The first single, "Wake Up," written by Sliimy and bundled with a joyous colorful accompanying video is currently available on iTunes. "The two ii`s are just meant to make you smile," revealed Sliimy who was born in Saint-Etienne, France. Press: Warner Bros.
