ELVIS™ AND SNAPCHAT PARTNER FOR SPECIAL INTERACTIVE ‘LENS’
New York, NY – August 12, 2016 – The Estate of Elvis Presley has partnered with Snapchat to launch an interactive Elvis-themed selfie Lens in celebration of Elvis Week, the annual festival that pays tribute to the music, movies and legacy of Elvis Presley.
Snapchatters can channel the “King of Rock n’ Roll” with the new lens, which applies Elvis’ signature pompadour hairstyle, tinted sunglasses and music to selfies and videos taken in the app.
The Snapchat lens features iconic Elvis tracks, “A Little Less Conversation,” “Devil in Disguise” and a sneak peek of the song “Kentucky Rain” from the newest edition of the ELVIS WITH THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA project, a remarkable new album that features powerful Elvis vocal performances with brand-new orchestral accompaniments.
