Robbie signs to Universal
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 21 October 2011
So, Robbie Williams will release his next album with Universal Music, he being without a record label partner since his famous EMI deal came to an end with his last record.
And look, here’s people saying things…
Universal CEO Lucian Grainge: “What a thrill this announcement is. To be working with Robbie and his team, and to have the opportunity to support this incredible stage of his career, makes life so exciting”.
Universal UK CEO David Joseph: “Having had the chance to listen to the music I’ve no doubt that Robbie is currently at his most creatively inspired. We are about to witness something very special”.
Robbie’s manager Tim Clark: “This great new deal puts Robbie Williams firmly in control of his own destiny, but with the most muscular of partners”.
And Robbie himself: “I’m really thrilled to be joining the Universal family at what I think is the most exciting time in my career”.
The Universal empire, of course, is Take That’s current label. You all know that already, but I just feel like that’s the sort of thing that should be included in a story like this.
