The stars are Asem, Tinny, Reggie Rockstone, Edem, Irene Logan and Sharifa Gunu.

The rest are Kwabena Kwabena, Gyedu Blay Ambulley, Pat Thomas and Paapa Yankson.

This was made known by Glo Ghana Boss, George Andah, during the launch of the Glo 'Reserve Your Number Campaign' in Accra.

Some of Glo's ambassadors who attended the launch lauded the deal they had with Glo and also praised Glo for selecting them as its ambassadors.

Gyedu Blay Ambulley said Glo did a smart thing by selecting both young and senior musicians as ambassadors, unlike the other telecom operators who only focused on young people and failed to appeal to the elderly in society.

'We are a people of culture and so any company which fails to blend the old and the new is not being smart and I think Glo is smart on that count - we were selected by Dr. Mike Adenuga himself and I commend Glo for that,' he said.

Ambulley said the blend of the old and new on that album would give it staying power, as well as wider appeal.

He also lauded the Glo deal as very good for him because it gave him cash to invest in his music and other things, adding that some companies thought senior musicians like him were not making music anymore but that was not true.

Pat Thomas said he was happy with the Glo deal because it improved his financial condition and boosted his business, even though it also denied him invitations to certain shows, particularly those sponsored by other telecom operators.

'But I am happy Glo is about to launch because it would mean more shows and more money for us - our group album will also yield revenue in sales and royalties for us,' he said.

Paapa Yankson said even though his name was known among the elderly, many of the young people did not know him, expressing optimism that his deal with Glo and the new album would be a platform to make him popular among the youth.

Hip-life Grand Papa Reggie Rockstone was the first to come out ahead of last year's Christmas holidays to say that until the Glo deal, his bank account was almost empty but that one deal had lined his pocket with enough money to build his popular self-named club, Rockstone's Office.

Reggie also lauded Glo for taking on senior musicians Ambuley, Pat Thomas and Paapa Yankson.

'Glo has been generous and as they launch it means more money for us the ambassadors from shows and the proceeds of the album sale,' he said.

Asem, who sang on his 'last song for the year' album that 'Glo has satisfied me', also told Adom News he had high hopes for the Glo album, adding that the money was good and he hoped all his other colleagues got similar deals because 'it encourages you to pursue the career you love with passion.'

Irene Logan said apart from the Glo album, the contract also gave her time off the stage to write and record more songs, which she would start releasing and performing this year, particularly on Glo platforms.

'I have been off stage for a while but I can't complain because it was a win-win situation for me as I got time to rethink my career and write more songs - so this is the year Ghanaians will hear more of me - lots of singles, good music and videos from Irene,' she said.
