Warner Chappell Music has struck up a partnership with Analog Metaverse, a boutique rights-management company and music publisher founded by producer Salaam Remi. WCM will jointly administer the majority of the company’s catalog, including the works of Remi, Dennis Brown, Don Blackman, Bobby “Digital” Dixon and Terri Walker.
The Analog Metaverse catalog is comprised of more than 2,000 songs—from “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys and “All I Want Is You” by Miguel and J. Cole to “Fu-Gee-La” by The Fugees and “Here Comes the Hotstepper” by Ini Kamoze. It also includes the Ivor Novello Award-winning song “Stronger Than Me” by Amy Winehouse and Remi’s eight other co-writes with Winehouse, the most co-writes of any Winehouse collaborator.
“I’ve known Salaam for more than three decades, and it’s such an honor to be entrusted to shepherd not only his own life’s work but that of legends like Dennis Brown,” said WCM Co-Chair/CEO Guy Moot. “[WCM Co-Chair/COO] Carianne [Marshall] and I are very intentional about the catalogs we work with and really think about how we can grow and tend to them, both today and for the years to come. There’s a lot of synergy between our approach and Analog Metaverse’s mission, and it's great to be joining forces to help writers and their estates realize their full potential.”
