Swift has said that she will rerecord her catalog in the wake of Big Machine Label Group chief Scott Borchetta’s recent sale of the company — and with it all of Swift’s first six albums — to talent manager Scooter Braun.
The 29-year-old singer-songwriter has told “CBS Sunday Morning” reporter Tracy Smith that she will rerecord her catalog in the wake of Big Machine Label Group chief Scott Borchetta’s recent sale of the company — and with it all of Swift’s first six albums — to talent manager Scooter Braun.“Yeah, absolutely,” replied Swift, whose new album, “Lover,” will be released Friday, Aug. 23.Swift’s spokeswoman could not be reached immediately for comment.
Recording contracts, however, usually include a restriction against an artist rerecording songs delivered to a record label under the contract for a certain length of time, entertainment lawyer Ed McPherson of Los Angeles-based McPherson LLP told The Times on Wednesday. It’s a strategy other artists have turned to over the decades. During an extended contract dispute with Warner Bros. Records, Prince threatened to re-record his entire catalog but never followed through, releasing only an updated version of his hit single “1999.”
