ON MY FIRST DAY AT ATLANTIC RECORDS I ....

.....Got to go to the album listening session for Pleasure P's debut solo album, "The Introduction of Marcus Cooper", which is in stores now! It was my first listening event and totally exceeded all my expectations. I was supposed to meet a couple of friends after work, to celebrate our first days at our internships, but THIS was something that made me text them and say "Uh I'm gonna be a little late to dinner". We walked in and there were tables covered in candles and chocolate covered strawberries, along with posters of Pleasure P. Once the event got started, Pleasure started playing tracks from his album and everyone was just listening and having a good time. He explained the background to each track and it was a very intimate session. This was an AWESOME way to start off my experience here at Atlantic. If this is what my first day is like, I can't wait to see what else is in store this summer! Check out some pictures from the album listening session, which was held here at the Atlantic offices and make sure to get Pleasure P's album, 'The Introduction of Marcus Cooper" IN STORES NOW!!

INTRODUCING...

Welcome to the Atlantic Records Intern Blog, a new way to get the most up-to-date news on your favorite Atlantic Records artists, while getting an exclusive look at what goes on during a normal day at Atlantic's New York offices.

We designed this blog to serve many purposes. We wanted the fans, the ones who actually BUY the music and support the artists, to get the latest news from a more personal, informal voice of interns, who are essentially their peers. This blog will also show the interesting, unusual, yet fun things Atlantic interns get to do on a daily basis and will act as a new resource for those who want to intern in the music industry.

The industry is rapidly gravitating towards a more online distribution of information and with blogs becoming the 'Next Generation', we thought that there was no better time than the present to evolve also.

Our goal is for this blog to become an interactive place between the label and it's fans, so comments are GREATLY appreciated. In fact, comments are wanted because feedback is the only way we can grow.
