REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 18, 2009 – The Sims fans around the world will be rockin’ out to new Simlish music in The Sims™ 3 World Adventures Expansion Pack* for the PC and Mac this fall. The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that in The Sims 3 World Adventures, players will have their chance to get down, Simlish-style, to artists like GRAMMY award-winner Nelly Furtado, rising star Pixie Lott, German sensation Stefanie Heinzmann, breaking new rock band Matt & Kim, global indie dance rockers Young Punx, and more!

“I was really excited when I heard EA wanted me to be involved with The Sims 3 World Adventures,” said Nelly Furtado. “I love languages, and it was so fun singing in Simlish.”

“We have been busy recording the eclectic mix of songs in Simlish, the official language of The Sims,” said Robi Kauker, Audio Director for The Sims Studio at EA. “The collection of artists’ songs in the game are fantastic and there’s something every player will recognize and enjoy.”

“I think it’s really cool to have a song in The Sims 3 World Adventures,” added Pixie Lott. “You can go over to a radio in the game, play the Simlish version of “Mama Do,” and take that radio with you anywhere you go inside the game!”
