LONDON, UK (CelebrityAccess) – Blue Raincoat Music has inked a global music publishing deal with Ian Broudie, renowned songwriter, producer, and frontman of the Lightning Seeds. The agreement covers the majority of Broudie’s catalog. It marks a reunion with Jeremy Lascelles, CEO of Blue Raincoat Music, who was Broudie’s longtime music publisher at Chrysalis Music in the 1990s.
The Lightning Seeds, celebrating their 35th anniversary, boast hits like “Pure,” “The Life Of Riley,” “Change,” and “Three Lions,” the latter being the only single in chart history to reach No.1 in the UK singles chart on four separate occasions.
Lascelles expressed excitement about working with Broudie again, recalling their past successes in the ’90s. Broudie, known for his exceptional songwriting, has also produced for artists such as Echo & The Bunnymen, The Zutons, Terry Hall, and The Coral.
Broudie expressed his delight in collaborating with Lascelles again, emphasizing their history of sparking creativity together. Blue Raincoat Music, initially an artist management company, expanded into music publishing in 2016 and acquired Chrysalis Records later that year. The company is part of the Reservoir group.
