changed and that's why Game
Records is going digital. Carolina signed a deal with one of the biggest
players on the field. With Believe digital she found a perfect partner to assist
her international digital story. First we will release the back catalogue on
the net and the original video clips of the Game artists will finally be
presented. A new album by Yvan Guilini, "Music forever", has been released in November 2020.
