Omawumi, Flavour, MI Thrill at Glo Ringback Tune Launch
The usual industry night entertainment fare recently assumed a colourful hue when Globacom treated lots of young people to a memorable time at Spice Route, Victoria Island, Lagos. It was a big opportunity for many fans to pose questions to their favourite artistes in a hot-seat segment coordinated by Fade Ogunro.
Caller Ringback Tunes (CRBT) allows phone users an opportunity to have fun while using their phones. The launch of the Glo Exclusive Caller Ringback Tunes allows Glo Mobile subscribers exclusive access to many of Nigeria’s new music releases from popular artistes by simply subscribing to Glo Mobile’s Caller Ringback Tunes. The artistes include Naeto C, MI, Omawumi, Flavour, Bez, Chee and one of the best known artistes from the North, Sanni Danja.
Globacom’s top executives, led by Viswanath Nagasai, told journalists that, “Nigerians would readily recall that we blazed the CRBT trail in Nigeria over seven years ago when for the first time in Nigeria, we made it possible for our subscribers to download their favourite tunes and make them their ringback tunes. Others were to follow the trail, and today, Nigerian artistes net millions of naira in revenue from their music distributed by mobile operators in the country through the CRBT platform,” said Nagasai.
He said consistent with its pedigree of leadership in innovation, Globacom is yet again raising the bar by expanding the collection of songs available to customers on its CRBT platform.
“We are not just adding songs for its sake, but we are adding the latest from the best in the business all for the benefit of our esteemed customers. We are talking about new releases that music lovers have been waiting with bated breath for an opportunity to download onto their phones for quite some time now. You can now access them exclusively on our platform and serenade your callers with them,” he said.
The songs that Glo customers can readily access include Flavour’s dancehall blaster, ‘Wake Up’, featuring Wande Coal, in addition to all his earlier hits. Also available for immediate download are Omawumi’s latest release currently ruling the airwaves, ‘Megbele’ in addition to her existing songs; Naeto C’s collaborative effort featuring Phyno, ‘China’; Burna Boy’s ‘Checks and Balance’, Sanni Danja’s ‘Alhaji’ and Chee’s collaborative work with Olamide, ‘No More’.
