Short story:

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys release a new single, Empire State Of Mind, on Roc Nation Records in the USA. The song is an anthem for New York City, and will become a major international hit single. It will also inspire Katy Perry to write California Gurls, her 2010 song about the delights of California. Empire State Of Mind will also inspire several parodies, including a Welsh variation on the theme entitled Newport State Of Mind by Alex Warren and Terema Wainwright.
