Record Labels Quotes

It is hard, though, ‘cos record labels love to boss you around. I won’t let them do that anymore Picture Quote #1

We have signed with Artemis Records. Originally they were our distributor for ‘Group Therapy’. My former manager (Chip Quigley) started a record label (Recon Records) and had Artemis Records as their distributor. Unfortunately, the way the label was run meant that it didn’t turn out the way that we thought it was going to be. We simply got into something that was different to what we initially thought Picture Quote #1

I have friends who have a CD mastering plant in Hollywood and they are very sceptical about European record labels’ understanding of digital technology Picture Quote #1

Commercial success still hasn’t come to an artist that isn’t signed to a record label. There are very few artists that can succeed without the help of a record label. The role of the record label is still required, it’s still necessary Picture Quote #1

It’s what’s on the record not what labels on it. You know, that’s like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard Picture Quote #1

I had to learn the hard way. There was a blindness, without any education or will or drive. Everything I started in the beginning from skate shops to record labels to a million and one side hustles that I went in without knowing how I was going to do it, a lot of those ventures just went out of business Picture Quote #1

I don’t think the label cares about an album... People just want their number-one record Picture Quote #1

What made me want to become a recording artist; I was the first artist that was repeatedly asked by a label to record with them. That label was Def Jam Records Picture Quote #1

There’s definitely some sort of dissent brewing between record labels, publishing companies and artists [about the compensation they get from streaming services] Spotify is returning a HUGE amount of money [to the record labels]. If we continue growing at our current rate in terms of subscriptions and downloads, we’ll overtake iTunes in terms of contributions to the recorded music business in under two years Picture Quote #1

I remember auditioning for record labels and having them tell me, ‘Well, the country-radio demographic is the thirty-five-year-old female housewife. Give us a song that relates to the thirty-five-year-old female, and we’ll talk.’ Picture Quote #1

A lot of people ask me, ‘How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?’ It’s because I knew I could never feel the kind of rejection that I felt in middle school. Because in the music industry, if they’re gonna say no to you, at least they’re gonna be polite about it Picture Quote #1

I’ve had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, ‘Your music sucks, you don’t know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don’t know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.’ Picture Quote #1

I heard the Bloc Party record Japan before it came out in the UK as they are on the V2 record label. I think it has a great vibe and has great songs. I also think the Kings of Leon are right up my street Picture Quote #1

In the early 1970s. 1971, 72. The rooms were closing down, record labels weren’t signing acoustic acts any more. Although they had been pretty much been getting out of that for some time before that Picture Quote #1

I get bored easily, so I need to do a lot. I've started a record label, so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music, which is a passion of mine. I've written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show, which is always really fun Picture Quote #1

The majors, they have to control the distribution, the record outlets, the radio and, in some cases, even the venues. And downloading and pirating have also put pressure on the majors Picture Quote #1

All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art Picture Quote #1

I think that’s the problem in a lot of music. We’ve got these record labels Picture Quote #1

I hate record labels. They think they know everything. I want to hear them try to sing it Picture Quote #1

I’m confused that there is a lack of faith in listening to and deciding what is a great song and instead going for these formulaic, bad songs over and over again. But that’s what happened when people from beverage companies bought record labels and radio stations as opposed to people who love music owning record labels Picture Quote #1

Some record labels want to package you in a certain way and we didn’t want that. Once the record company saw we had some substance and were not a one hit wonder. They got 100% behind us Picture Quote #1

I have friends who have a CD mastering plant in Hollywood and they are very sceptical about European record labels’ understanding of digital technology Picture Quote #1

Even though we’re not the most punk rock band, the way we’ve done things is pretty punk rock. Just kinda say it with a big middle finger to the record labels and do it ourselves Picture Quote #1

In a sense, the music business and I haven’t always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you’re hoping you’ll find someone who’ll help you get your work into the world Picture Quote #1

I’m the only girl songwriter that fights for a lot of things. I fight for songwriting fees, which record labels want you to shut up about Picture Quote #1
