AMLOR Music Publishing and Universal Music Publishing UK have announced a long-term publishing agreement with Jack Savoretti.
The singer-songwriter, who is interviewed in the latest issue of Music Week, is AMLOR's first signing since beginning a global sub-publishing partnership with UMPG UK.
Savoretti secured his first No.1 LP in 2019 with the gold-certified Singing To Strangers (164,205 sales, OCC) and releases new album Europiana, his first since signing to EMI, on June 25.
AMLOR Publishing MD Blair McDonald said: “Over the past 15 years, Jack has proven himself as an outstanding songwriter and much-loved artist. We have long been fans of his and are thrilled to welcome him to the AMLOR family, with the support of Universal Music Publishing. Jack is a key signing for us and we look forward to working with him and his team to uncover new opportunities and build on his career as a songwriter and artist.”
