As was reported earlier in the week, EMI has signed a US distribution agreement and worldwide license deal with a re-opened S-Curve, marking a return to EMI for Steve Greenberg, whose previous signings included Joss Stone and Fountains of Wayne. The first artists signed in this
multi-year, multi-album deal are Sir Tom Jones and rock band We The Kings.
Jones, who has sold 75 million units worldwide, is in the studio working on a new album which is being produced in part by Greenberg, Mike Magini and Betty Wright, the same team who produced Joss Stone’s first two releases. We The Kings are a Bradenton, Florida based alternative pop/rock band whose upcoming record is being produced by Sam Hollander, best known for producing Gym Class Heroes’ “Cupid’s Chokehold.”
“Steve has a great ear for hits, and we’re pleased to be back in business with him,” said Ronn Werre, President of EMI Music Marketing.
“We worked closely with Steve on breaking Joss Stone in the uk and look forward to future successes with his new venture,” said Tony Wadsworth, Chairman and CEO, EMI Music UK & Ireland.
”I’m really excited to be back working with EMI and bringing S-Curve artists to a global audience,” said Greenberg. “EMI has a strong global footprint, a great digital team and real commitment that will serve our artists well.”
