Warner Chappell has signed a new publishing deal with Santigold as she works on a new album.
"Santigold has spent her career breaking musical barriers, blending her versatile artistry with bold, distinctive vocals", say the Warner publisher's CEO Guy Moot and COO Carianne Marshall in a sneaky joint statement. "She's a thoroughly original voice, whose work has spanned records, TV, theatre and film, making her a perfect match for our multi-faceted A&R, sync and creative services teams. We're THRILLED to welcome Santigold to our Warner Chappell family and support her craft as she continues to expand her creative universe".
Name-checking Moot, Marshall and two other Warner Chappell execs , Santigold herself adds: "It's incredibly refreshing to partner with a company that supports songwriters working across so many different mediums. Guy, Carianne, Ryan , Shani and the Warner Chappell team provide a really unique environment for innovation and collaboration, and I can't wait to see what we create together".
It's possible I ruined that quote with too many square brackets. Well don't worry, it didn't really matter. All you really need to know is that this deal comes ahead of a number of new projects for Santigold. She's working on a new album, wrote the soundtrack for upcoming musical fantasy film 'The Kyd's Exquisite Follies', and is developing a feature film of her own. Multi-faceted!
