Txttunes (www.txttunes.com) is pleased to announce the launch of our new Txttunes Widget this Christmas, and the first artist to use the service will be Cypress Hill's B Real, whose new album The Gunslinger 3: For A Few Dollars More (Latin Thug Records) was released worldwide on Dec 11. The widget can be accessed here at www.myspace.com/brealonline.
Txttunes allows computer users to purchase songs, which are charged to their cell phone account rather than a credit card. In addition, Txttunes users can create their own wireless communities and fan clubs and other wireless services.
Latin Thug will be marketing the widget to over one million fans, enabling them to be the first U.S. consumers to purchase B Real's new single and receive the MP3 full track download to their PC or Mac.
Fred Sherman, President of Latin Thug Records, said, "Latin Thug Records is always seeking new ways to deliver our music to our fans. The Gunslinger series was created by B Real to bring his new music to his fans and to prepare the world for his upcoming solo album release. We are both excited to use the power of this amazing new Txttunes technology to both enable new revenue and to build an SMS-based fan community."
Matt Coleman, SVP at Txttunes, stated, "The widget is fully customized for Cypress Hill and B Real fans and enables them to opt into a TXT community fan club and receive special offers and exclusive tour merchandise, as well as an enter-to-win contest each time a fan purchases a B Real track via their cell phones.
