A modification structure

Post by pdh0224 »

Dear teacher,

The Internet music stores, however, offer endless space and the chance for artists to release new music any time, instead of taking a year or more between releases, which major labels often require. In Universal's effort, the Shazam is starting with a previously unreleased song in addition to its latest album, "Tomorrow the World."

Q : "in addition to its.." modifies "song",doesn't it?

Strictly speaking, it modifies 'is starting', but, like a subjunct, bears a close referential relation to the noun phrase.
