Vevo, a joint venture between Sony and Universal Music, claims to be the “Hulu for music videos”. That remains to be seen. However, the site did get a big boost today by announcing that a third (of the big four) music label, EMI, would be adding their content to the site.
The site launches tomorrow and is powered by Youtube. Coincidentally, Warner, the only major label not in Vevo, has a partnership with Google to do videos on their own. Vevo has put out their sloppy version of Video Killed the Radio Star below, with 50 Cent.
