Celcom Axiata today announced that they’re partnered up with New York based Yonder Music Inc to allow Celcom users to indulge in a feature-rich digital music streaming service with a tremendous library of music.
Yonder does share a bit in common with other services like Deezer and Spotify to name a few, but it allows you to download the music you’ve purchased to your device and it functions on a pay to play model. So you’re only paying for what you want to listen to.
Yonder’s CEO Adam Kidron claims that the service would make it better for both users and the artistes involved as they will be paid fairly in proportion to the amount of times their tracks are played. As for the users, they get a huge library of music that’s not just tied to the latest releases but goes back into the classics and the obscure as well.
To celebrate the partnership, Yonder Music recorded a new R&B pop version of the Man Bai classic “Kau Ilham Ku” with was produced by J-Key and Russel Curtis; featuring Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza, Yna, Ariel Noah, Afgan Syahreza, Elizabeth Tan, Cita Citata, Joe Flizzow, SonaOne, Jaclyn Victor and many others.

Yonder will be available to those who own Celcom accounts, with the app being free to download till 18 December on Android and iOS devices. Streaming music on the device is at a zero rate, so it won’t impact your monthly quota.
For those who are on Celcom FiRST Blue and Gold, the service will be completely free for 6 months and 12 months respectively.
