MONTREAL, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stingray (TSX: RAY.A; RAY.B), a leader in music, video content distribution, business services, and advertising solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of Stingray Karaoke in NIO’s smart electric vehicles across European territories. This exciting new feature will be available in all NIO cars sold in Europe over the next two years, with each vehicle enjoying three years of complimentary karaoke service.

As NIO enhances its presence in the European market, the partnership with Stingray introduces Karaoke, a distinctive feature designed to enrich the in-car experience. Stingray Karaoke offers an extensive library of songs across various genres and languages, catering to a diverse audience. Users can easily search for tracks by title, artist, lyrics, era, or genre. The service features a wide array of musical styles including Rock, Country, Pop, R&B, Latin, K&J Pop, and tunes suitable for family enjoyment, ensuring a rich selection that appeals to all ages.

This seamless integration allows NIO vehicle users and all passengers in the car to enjoy interactive karaoke sessions, whether the car is parked or on the move. When stationary or during charging, the vehicle’s central screen displays the lyrics, enabling everyone in the car to participate. Additionally, a QR-enabled Passenger app provides on-the-go entertainment, allowing passengers to view lyrics, control the session, and sing along via their smartphones.

"Partnering with NIO to bring Stingray Karaoke into their line of smart electric vehicles represents a significant milestone in our journey to enrich lives through the power of music and entertainment, and to expand our global presence," said Louis-Robert Lemire, Vice President of Strategic Operations at Stingray. "This service is more than just singing along to your favorite tunes; it's about creating memorable moments and joyous experiences that passengers and drivers can share."

"NIO is committed to continuously developing and expanding our in-cabin experience and entertainment offering for the enjoyment of our users. This collaboration to bring Stingray Karaoke into NIO models marks another major step in this pledge," says Benjamin Steinmetz, Product Experience Director at NIO. "Enabling every drive to become a fun and engaging karaoke session with friends and family aligns perfectly with our commitments and our joyful brand DNA."

Stingray and NIO are committed to delivering exceptional experiences to vehicle users, and this partnership marks a significant step towards creating a community of joy and connection on the roads of Europe.
