Tame Impala Frontman Kevin Parker Sells Entire Song Catalog, Including Work With Dua Lipa, Rihanna and Others, to Sony Music Publishing
Sony Music Publishing today announced it has acquired the catalog of Tame Impala singer/ songwriter/ producer Kevin Parker, who has also worked extensively with Dua Lipa, Rihanna, SZA, Kendrick Lamar Gorillaz and more. The deal, which expands the company's 15-year partnership with Parker, encompasses his entire catalog of songs as well as future works. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
In addition to his four studio albums and multiple singles with Tame Impala, Parker's songwriting catalog includes work with Rihanna, Travis Scott, Dua Lipa, Mick Jagger, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Gorillaz, Mark Ronson, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Kid Cudi, Flaming Lips, A$AP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Don Toliver, Daft Punk, Miguel, and even long-running Australian childrens' act the Wiggles. He has received several Grammy nominations, a BRIT Awards and, in his native Australia, received an APRA Songwriter of the Year award, two APRA Song of the Year awards, and more than a dozen ARIA awards including Album of the Year and Producer of the Year.
Most recently, he cowrote and coproduced a majority of songs on Dua Lipa's hit third album, "Radical Optimism," which debuted at No. 1 on the UK Official Albums chart last week.
Parker said of the deal, "The idea of passing on ownership of my songs is one that I don't think about very lightly, at all. They are the fruit of my blood, sweat and creativity over all the years I've been a recording artist and songwriter so far. I have a lot of love and trust for the Sony publishing family and have only had great experiences with Damian Trotter and the rest of the gang worldwide. I don't think my songs could be in any safer hands than Sony's, and I'm excited for the future and happy I can keep working with them on whatever the future brings…"
Sony Music Publishing Chairman-CEO Jon Platt said, "I have always admired Kevin Parker and I believe he is one of the most versatile songwriters of our time. Kevin has built a catalog of songs with incredible range and enduring power, and he has always stayed true to his vision. It is a privilege to represent his music, and we are committed to broadening his legacy of success."
Trotter, managing director of Sony Music Publishing Australia, said, "Kevin is a singular talent whose creativity and dedication to his art has enthralled fans and artists since he arrived on the music scene. Having worked with Kevin since before the release of the first Tame Impala album, it has been thrilling to witness his rise to success worldwide, which is so well deserved. We are proud and humbled to be taking custodianship of this iconic catalogue of songs and to be continuing our relationship with Kevin in this exciting phase of his music making career."
