BMG signs Losers
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 13 July 2015
The most magnificent Losers – aka Tom Bellamy, Paul Mullen and Xfm DJ and occasional CMU contributor Eddy Temple Morris (but don’t be thinking that “most magnificent” was biased reporting, it’s actually scientific fact) – last week signed a worldwide songwriter agreement with BMG Germany, covering the outfit’s past and upcoming albums.
Confirming the deal, BMG A&R Florian Schrödter told reporters: “Losers are a musical epiphany. Songs like ‘Azan’ and ‘Turn Around’ are masterpieces. It’s rare you hear such ‘contrasty’ multifaceted music and, soundwise, such excellent production. No matter which Losers song you’re listening to, you will be surprised sooner or later. Many thanks to Tom, Paul and Eddy for putting your trust in BMG”.
Speaking for the band, Reza Davoudi from artist management firm nineteen95, added: “Tom, Paul and Eddy are complete workaholics, and you hardly see them taking time off. We found the same quality in Florian Schrödter and the whole A&R and creative team at BMG who have been there for a while, attending our shows and discussing further collaboration between Losers and other artists. At the end of the day, music publishing is about relationships and it’s about people. We are thrilled to be a part of BMG Publishing roster”.
In addition to all his adventures with Losers, Eddy is also hosting a brand new stage at the Secret Garden Party later this month and has a new accompanying London night in the pipeline, more on which in this recent Eddy Says column on the CMU website.
