Universal Music Group is the perfect partner
Music plays a significant role in the upbringing of a child – from the moment they are born until their maturity. Case in point, children’s music, saw a rise with the ongoing pandemic and social distancing directives.
Streaming in the said genre increased up to 9.8% when many states began lockdowns. With Universal Music Group, LEGO will provide children an entirely new way to enjoy playing by bringing music to their own world.
Furthermore, the LEGO Group CMO has acknowledged the incredible ability of music to engage and unite children and their families, just like the LEGO brick.
