EMI Label Services The Right Fit For Gallagher

Noel Gallagher’s management team has said that the singer is not tempted to return to working with major record labels after celebrating his first solo number one album with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

Speaking about the singer’s decision to enlist the help of EMI’s Label Services Europe for distribution and promotion surrounding the release, Ignition Management partner Alex McKinlay said that Gallagher, who has released records through his own labels for the past 11 years, first with Big Brother and then with Sour Mash, had outgrown the traditional record label model – adding that the company was also a powerful solution for artists who no longer fitted within the traditional ‘hit-driven’ label system.

“Working with Label Services and our international partners on this record has been a great success and the results so far speak for themselves,” said McKinlay. “We’ve proved that this model works with major releases as well as with more niche releases.”
