Why is it that a premium value is placed on items that are original creations? Why first-time experiences are never forgotten? Our musical culture shares this same sentiment. In this digital world where imitation or replication is inexpensive, effortless, and instantaneous, it is a delight to rediscover such original favorites and re-live memories through music.

Thus, the creation of True Tones. True Tones are a compilation of ringtones as they were first heard by the public. Original voices. Original instruments. All ages. Across cultures.

Who does not enjoy hearing songs from Scooby-doo, The Simpsons, and of course the all-time favorite, Sesame Street? Definitely not just the kids, but also even those kids-at-heart like moms and dads. Teens meanwhile will of course prefer tunes from Beverly Hills, Buffy, Dawson’s Creek and other popular TV series. For more mature audiences, True Tones offers themes from James Bond, Mission Impossible, Mac Gyver, X-Files and more.

If you’re not much into movies or TV series, True Tones has tunes of various artists and genre for you, particularly pop, hiphop, and dance or techno music. True Tones features not only current hits but music of the past and top hits of tomorrow as well. Sing, rap and dance to these catchy beats.

Yearning for something uncommon and distinct? Go Orientals, Arabic, or Tribal. Discover and appreciate their richness, diversity and exuberance. Listen to rarely heard musical instruments play energetic beats or intense melodies. Hear hums, chants and voices pouring out soulful lines.

In line with this diverse selection of Eastern culture, True Tones also features music from Bollywood, the popular Mumbai-based film industry in India. Listen to Lata Mangeshkar, Sonu Nigam, Kishore Kumar, and other known singer-actors and playback singers. True Tones’ long list of Bollywood tunes reflect how thriving this culture is.

Going patriotic? Search for your national anthem. This list is great not only as a ringtone but also for collection purposes. Speaking of collection, True Tones also compiles Classicals – religious and otherwise; English and European.

Whatever your preferences or style, True Tones has it covered.
