\n\tSpotify<\/a> and Sony Music<\/a> Group have reached an agreement for a new multi-year global licensing deal, the companies announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \n\tThe companies didn\u2019t disclose specifics on the deal beyond confirming it includes both recorded music and music publishing, which they said means \u201csongwriters share more directly in the growth of streaming.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cSony Music<\/a> Group and\u00a0Spotify have long been mutually committed to advancing music streaming and growing the marketplace for all,\u201d Sony Music Group chairman Rob Stringer said in a statement. \u201cThis is further reflected in our new agreements where we\u2019re working to develop futuristic approaches that ensure our artists and songwriters remain appropriately compensated for their work, and audiences are getting a high-quality experience that\u2019s ever evolving.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWith Sony secured, Spotify has officially reached new agreements with all three of the major music companies, after announcing new deals with Universal Music Group back in January <\/a>and Warner Music Group a month later. <\/a><\/p>\n \n\tFor the first time, Spotify now holds direct licensing agreements with all three major music publishers, a notable development after the streaming company caught major heat in the industry last year over Spotify\u2019s controversial audiobook bundling strategy that led to lower payments to publishers and songwriters. The Mechanical Licensing Collective sued over that move,<\/a> though Spotify won as the suit was dismissed earlier this year. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOur partnership with Sony is built on a shared drive to shape the future of music,\u201d Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said in a statement. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re accelerating the pace of innovation to create powerful new opportunities and increasing revenue for artists and songwriters. These agreements aren\u2019t just a milestone; they\u2019re a catalyst for building a more dynamic and prosperous music ecosystem for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.hollywoodreporter.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spotify and Sony Music Group have reached an agreement for a new multi-year global licensing deal, the companies announced on Wednesday.
