GEORGE MICHAEL RECORDSAGAIN
George Michael has settled his fight with Sony Records. The singer has left the label to record for David Geffen’s new label Dream Works SKG for North America and Virgin for the rest of the world. Both Sony and George Michael appear to be winners. The deal is for only two albums and Sony get S3O million to S4O million USA to release the singer from his contract. Sony also retain the rights to do a 1997 artist-supervised greatest hits compilation (with new tracks) and Sony will also get a percentage (approx 3%) on the sales of George’s albums on his new labels. The first single ‘Like Jesus to a Child’ will be released in September.
