Transgressive Publishing and Warner Chappell Music have announced details of a new worldwide publishing deal for Loyle Carner.
Carner has been nominated at the BRITs and shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize and hit No.3 with his second album Not Waving, But Drowning (64,360 sales, OCC) in April last year. He is managed by recent Music Week cover stars Various Artists Management.
Loyle Carner’s biggest selling single is Ain’t Nothing Changed, with 151,746 sales. He has 1,941,426 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Toby L, co-founder of Transgressive, and Mike Harounoff, A&R manager, welcomed the signing as a “beautiful homecoming”.
They said: “Transgressive had the great pleasure of releasing Loyle Carner’s first single five years ago and we have watched on with pride as he’s gone on to take over the country and further afield with his deeply affecting and powerful songs. With a landmark third album in the works, our reunion feels like perfect timing. Alongside our wonderful team and partners at Warner Chappell, we’re honoured to take forward the stunning catalogue he’s amassed thus far, as well as collaborate closely on all his vital new work. Loyle is a once-in-a-generation talent, and he’s just at the beginning.”
