Perfect Songs Reports Busiest First Quarter in Five Years... Prodigy Album Co-writes and Virgin Atlantic Synch Keep UK Independent on Top
Perfect Songs, one of the UK's longest running and most successful independent music publishers, is enjoying one of it's most profitable quarters of the decade thanks to a string of high-profile projects.
Prefect's Tim Hutton recently hit number one in the official UK Album Chart with several co-writtes tracks on The Prodigy's number one album Invaders Must Die including the lead single, Omen (which peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart). Hutton has been signed to perfect since 2004 and has previously collaborated with Groove Armada, Ian Brown and Mutya Buena (Song 4 Mutya).
"What strikes you at every turn is how very effortless it all sounds," writes The Times' Pete Paphides of Invaders Must Die. "The album works at a basic irreducible level, as all great pop does. You hear it once, and you want to hear it all over again..."
This follows another high profile project for Perfect Songs: January's synch of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax in Virgin Atlantic Airways' acclaimed, £6 million TV ad campaign. Both the airline - and Frankie's song - celebrate their 25th anniversaries this year and Relax can be heard throughout the commercial, which was put together by Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R and will air around the world for the next 12 months.
Described by marketing Bible MAD as “a strong contender for ad of the year,” it has been praised for “the ever-throbbing soundtrack of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax,” One of the most contentious and well known songs in the Perfect catalogue.
“2009 – our 27th year in business! - is shaping up to be one one of our busiest ever,” comments Clive Black, recently appointed as General Manager of Perfect Songs and its parent SPZ Group. “we have a synch catalogue that the ad, film and TV industry loves, and a brace of fresh, active songwriters who are building for the future.”
