Music
fans around the world were in for a big surprise on June 18th 2012, when
Spinlet, Nigeria’s premier digital
distribution and promotion company, offered music fans the first 100, 000 copies of the
first-ever all-star album from Empire Mates Entertainment, absolutely free.
The hugely anticipated star-studded album, titled Empire Mates State of Mind, features Banky W, Wizkid, Niyola, Basketmouth, Skales, and other EME acts and affiliates.
The EME album is exclusively distributed by Spinlet for the first two weeks of release, in a deal that pundits say will revolutionalise music distribution in Nigeria, and help reduce, if not curb piracy online and offline.
Mark Redguard, CMO of Spinlet, stated that the giveaway was only a taste of great things to come in the company’s quest to continue connecting Nigerian music makers with their teeming fans. “We are happy to be part of this positive change’’, he said.
‘This is
as an epoch moment, the first of its kind in the Nigerian industry, and part of
Spinlet’s effort to establish a
digital distribution system that not only works, but also serves benefit to musicians,
labels, fans, investors and the industry in general. Nigeria’s music industry has grown tremendously in the past
decade, and it’s about time we begin to
convert that growth to measurable success for all stakeholders, while making
sure that fans can get quality music as easily as possible".
C.E.O of Empire Mates Entertainment, Banky Wellington, also expressed his delight at the partnership. "This partnership means a lot to us, because this is a defining moment in the history of Nigerian music. The issue of distribution is something that affects us all, and I’m glad Spinlet is providing a technology that works –helping fans to get our music without any ado, while delivering value to us as musicians and entrepreneurs. I see this as the future of music distribution in Nigeria, and I’m very proud that EME took this bold step’’.
The Empire Mates State of Mind album, is available exclusively as a free download on Spinlet, Nigeria’s premier digital distribution and promotion platform. Spinlet runs a free mobile application available to all Android, Symbian and smart phones.
Apart from EME’S album, other artistes currently available on Spinlet include 2face, Bez, Ice Prince, and Reminisce. Others are MI, Dare and WizKid.
