SCEE Announce SingStar 90's
MC Hammer, The Spice Girls and The Cranberries It Must Be The '90s!
London, July 2007 - It's time to dig out your oversized baggy jeans, start wearing your cap on the side and get an undercut, because the '90s are making a comeback!
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is pleased to announce what we've all been waiting for: the full line up of artists and tracks, to feature in the upcoming release of SingStar® '90s. It was the decade that brought us Friends, Seinfeld and Hypercolour T-Shirts, now the '90s are back and in your living room at last, with SingStar '90s due for release exclusively on PlayStation®2 this August.
Featuring the who's who of 90s music icons such as MC Hammer, Sir Mix-A-Lot, REM and the Spice Girls, SingStar '90s will have you and your mates longing to wear Bum Bags all over again.
Nothing screams '90s quite like The Cranberries' Zombie and Billy Ray Cyrus' Achey Breaky Heart and nothing will get you as pumped as everybody's party favourite - Love Shack from the B-52's.
Complete with original videos, the line up captures the true essence of what it was like to live in the '90s, with 30 legendary tracks from an array of genres including classic indie rock, pop and rap.
Maybe you like to sing solo or maybe you like to battle it out with a group of friends, either way SingStar '90s has something to offer the most discerning singer. It's all about releasing your inner SingStar, so grab yourself a microphone and start singing!
With technology that recognises your pitch, tone and rhythm, SingStar scores you depending on how well you perform. The better you sing, the more points you'll be awarded.
So, whether you're an Entertainer, the Comedian, a total Diva, the Shy performer or a lovesick Crooner, SingStar '90s has something to offer everyone - after all, inside everyone there's a SingStar!
