Japanese superstar singer-songwriter Yoshiki has signed a global distribution and publishing administration agreement with BMG through his record label, Melodee. BMG will provide global distribution for Yoshiki’s new releases, beginning with “Forever Love (Live),” his new collaboration with internationally celebrated vocalist Josh Groban. The agreement also encompasses his solo album “Eternal Melody” and X Japan albums released from 1993 onward, including the hit albums “Art of Life” and “Dahlia.” BMG will additionally administer his publishing outside Japan.
Yoshiki said, “I’ve always believed that music has no borders. I’m now entering one of the most ambitious and creative chapters of my career, with new projects that bring together rock, pop, classical and contemporary music in ways I have never explored before. I’m thrilled to partner with BMG to bring this vision to the world.
The company has also signed Erez’s partner and main collaborator Ori Rousso. The go-forward publishing agreement covers all future works as well as select key tracks from Erez’s catalogue, including “Stuck In Heaven,” “Bubbling,” “Penny Lame,” “Not My Problem” and recent single “I Love You” featuring Armani White. The music of Noga and Ori demands attention, their live show is beyond exhilarating and they keep innovating on every record.
At the same time, they selflessly give energy, motivation and hope through their songs. It is a testament to their ability to inspire and a privilege for us to be a part of.”
