Deezer, one of the world’s premier music streaming services, has launched an editorial takeover from Britain’s favourite girl group Girls Aloud. Launched on the day their new collection ‘Ten’ is released, Girls Aloud have teamed up with Deezer to recommend their ten favourite albums and create an exclusive playlist and video giving fans an insight into the music they know and love.
The diverse selection of albums picked by the band reveal the eclectic tastes of the five girls, albums include: Tracy Chapman’s self titled classic debut album, Joe’s ‘All That I Am’ (both selected by Cheryl Cole), Kanye West’s ‘808s and Heartbreak’, Frank Ocean’s ‘Thinking Of You’ (both selected by Nicola Roberts), Drake’s ‘Best I Ever Had’, Swedish House Mafia’s ‘Don't Worry Child’ (both selected by Nadine Coyle), Lana Del Rey’s ‘Video Games’, Kings Of Leon’s ‘Use Somebody’ (both selected by Sarah Harding) and Usher’s ‘8701’ and Destiny's Child’s ‘The Writings On The Wall’ (both selected by Kimberley Walsh).
Mark Foster MD of Deezer UK and Ireland said: “We are delighted to be doing our first editorial takeover on Deezer with Girls Aloud. Deezer is all about music discovery and working with great curators of music. Girls Aloud's flawless track record over the past decade speaks for itself, so we're glad that they're joining us to curate and recommend great music on Deezer”.
Susie Lucas, Head of Mobile at Universal Music UK added: “Deezer are an important partner for us and the girls taking over recommendations is a great way to enable their fans to discover new music, as well as lead fans to their new album 'Ten'. We believe it is important to have editorial and curated content on streaming services and having this come direct from the artists has the greatest value of all.”
Deezer launched in the UK in September last year. It already has over 23 million users worldwide. With 20 million licensed tracks, Deezer is set to become the number one destination for all UK music fans. For further information, head to www.deezer.com.
Cheryl, Kimberley, Nadine, Nicola and Sarah will be back on tour in February next year with ‘Ten – The Hits Tour 2013’.
