The Pet Shop Boys have signed a new worldwide publishing deal with BMG Chrysalis, covering their back catalogue and new album ‘Electric’.
Alexi Cory-Smith, SVP of BMG Chrysalis UK told CMU: “Pet Shop Boys are pre-eminent songwriters and we are honoured that that they have chosen BMG Chrysalis to represent their music”.
Pet Shop Boys manager Angela Becker added: “Choosing BMG was an easy decision. [BMG A&R guys] Ben [Bodie] and Hugo [Turquet’s] passion and feel for Pet Shop Boys’ history alongside the company’s clear vision for their future make this an exciting partnership”.
As previously reported, ‘Electric’, out on 15 Jul, will be the duo’s first album released through their own label x2, launched in partnership with Kobalt.
