(CelebNMusic247-News) Lorde Signs Multi-Million Dollar Publishing Deal

Singer Lorde got a great gift after her 17th birthday, she officially signed with Songs Music Publishing after a lengthy bidding war between major labels like Sony and Universal.

Lorde deal was announced earlier this evening, which includes her music catalog The Love Club EP, her recent album, Pure Heroine, and all future recordings.

Here’s the drop via GigiOnThat:

CEO and founder of Songs, Matt Pincus, is “incredibly proud to be [Lorde] publisher,” which comes as no surprise, as “[they] think she’s a once-in-a-generation type artist.”

The deal, which is worth $2.5 million, according to a person familiar with the terms, caps off a highly competitive, months-long bidding war in which over a half-dozen top publishers were courting the 17-year-old singer (Lorde, born Ella Yellich O’Connor).

It follows the breakout success of Lorde single “Royals,” which this week extends its reign on the Hot 100 to six weeks.
