Dave Stewart slams MySpace, creates mobile music game with Nokia
Ex Eurythmics man Dave Stewart isn’t a big fan of MySpace, it seems. “Rupert Murdoch bought MySpace, and he bought every kid’s music and video – that’s 1.6 million bands’ songs – and they did’t get a share of anything. There’s something not quite right there,” he said, talking to Music Ally at Nokia’s Games Summit in Rome yesterday.
However, Stewart and Nokia also announced plans for an innovative new mobile game, Dance Fabulous, which will attempt to break a new artist called Cindy Gomez. The game will feature her songs, dance moves and avatar, and potentially will direct gamers off to the Nokia Music Store to buy the tracks too.
Full details will be in our interview in today’s Report, due to be sent out this afternoon.
