FAB News: Mcomm and Sony Bring Usher to Nigeria

Nigeria’s leading entertainment and value added service provider MComm, and Sony Music Entertainment Africa, have announced a historic partnership between both companies that will officially bring Usher Raymond’s hot new album “Looking 4 Myself” to Nigerian music fans.

Speaking in Lagos early this week, Mcomm CEO, Chidi Okeke, said

“This is a landmark partnership, with Nigeria being the first West African country to have an official international release from a Grammy winning US artist. We believe this will form a foundation for potential future strategic alliances with Sony Music. The album will be available nationwide from Monday, 29th June, as part of an official release, in Compact Disc (CD) form. “Looking 4 Myself” will be sold in major cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port- Harcourt, Enugu, Ibadan, and will be available in designated album stores and retail outlets nationwide.”

“Music has and will always be the international medium of communication and Mcomm is all about delivering the very best of music, local and international, to music fans on our shores. There are also a number of exciting partnerships in the pipeline between Mcomm and other brands which are geared towards connecting Nigerians with their favourite music brands from everywhere in the world”, he adds.

According to Usher Raymond, his seventh studio album, ‘LOOKING 4 MYSELF’ is “a record that really gives people an experience.”

On the album, the seven-time Grammy winner takes bold steps into unexpected musical territory. Assuming the most active role of his career as a songwriter, and working with a wide range of producers and collaborators—including Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Max Martin, Will I. Am, and Luke Steele — one of the best-selling musical artists in history has blended electro dance beats with his signature, era-defining R&B, pop, and hip-hop sounds to create a style that goes beyond any defined category.
