SOLON, OH, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2025 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- Esquire Records is pleased to announce the release of over 100 new original
songs from it’s extensive catalog and forthcoming songbook Set the World to Music. Founded by Cleveland lawyer Hal Pollock—an entrepreneur, author, and lyricist—Esquire continues to expand its global presence in the music world with this major release.
The label has also dropped six albums featuring many of the Esquire songs. The collection spans multiple genres, including Broadway-bound show tunes,
love songs, comedic numbers, pop, and country hits. All tracks are now available on major streaming platforms and directly through the Esquire website at
www.esquirerecords.net.
This release builds on a foundation established by Pollock in 2018. One of the standout tracks is Ukrainian Pie, a clever parody of American Pie, which went instantly viral upon its 2022 release—amassing over 2 billion views on TikTok in just six weeks, and nearly 400,000 views on YouTube
