GUBA’S DEBUT ALBUM ‘HILANG’ TO RELEASE EXCLUSIVELY ON WOWLOUD®

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – 9 July 2012 – Malaysia’s first cloud based music streaming service, WOWLOUD^® is pleased to announce the pre-listening of ‘HILANG’ by Guba – the latest addition to Laguna Music’s family of independent artistes. ‘HILANG’ will be officially released in Malaysia on 18^th July 2012 but WOWLOUD^® members get to listen to the full album one week ahead of everyone else starting from the 11^th July 2012, 12:00 A.M.

HILANG will leave listeners astounded by the voice of the Sabahan born alternative-folk singer-songwriter, Gabriel Roberts, better known as Guba. The 10-track album will include a duet single with actress/singer Diana Danielle and the already-released first singles ‘You’re So Fine’, a duet with the multi award winning songstress, Yuna as well as ‘Sunday Morning’ and ‘You & Me’, both of which had garnered significant airplay in the local radio, earning Guba the number one spot in the Hitz.FM Kota Kinabalu Borneo English Top Ten (BET 10), Hitz.FM Malaysian Top Ten (MET 10) and XFM Malaysian Top 40.

“When I first listened to Guba’s singles on WOWLOUD^®, I was truly impressed by Guba’s voice. There are many talented artistes in our homeland which have yet to be discovered due to the lack of opportunity to reach out to the audience. I’m really happy to hear that Laguna Music has chosen WOWLOUD^® as the channel to feature Guba’s debut album before the official release. Through WOWLOUD, we hope more people can get to know the great talents from our local music scene,” commented Chung Jaan Hao, CEO of MNC Wireless Berhad.

General Manager of Laguna Music, Jeremy Little said, “We’re really happy that the release of Guba’s debut album is finally here. We’ve been working on the album for the past year with some of the most talented musicians and engineers in Malaysia. We’re quite proud to say that HILANG is one of Laguna’s finest productions and what better way to celebrate the release of the album is through an exclusive debut at our very own homegrown music streaming service, WOWLOUD^® . Both have very similar traits; local and quality.”
