We've got the news that Darin is
currently in Berlin to sign with a new record company called BMG Chrysalis, a
branch of BMG Rights Management (which has some of the best worldwide
recognised artists signed like will.i.am, Kylie Minogue, Gorillaz, Bruno Mars,
Evanescence). The aim of this new label is to launch Darin in Europe, US and
Asia, hopefully with the new album coming next year.
Here's the translated article from
musikindustrin.se which explains the matter in details.
BMG Chrysalis keeps
expanding, both globally and locally. BMG Chrysalis Scandinavia's latest
signing is Darin.
With several chart-topping, platinum discs and music
awards (like a Grammy Award for the Year Best Song, a Rockbjörn as Best Male
Artist and NRJ Award for Best Nordic Song), Darin is one of the most successful
artists in the 2000s.
But Darin is not only famous as an artist, but also as
a talented songwriter. Recently he has not only written to himself but
also to others. He has, among others, worked with songwriters and producers
such as Max Martin, RedOne, Jörgen Elofsson, Arnthor Birgisson, Quiz &
Larossi, Paddy Dalton, Bilal Hajji and Billy Mann and others. Darin has
among other things written songs for artists such as Shane Ward, V Factory (top
40 Billboard Pop Songs), Sasha Lee, David Lindgren and Amanda Fondell (All
This Way , which topped Sweden's Official Singles Chart). His own
songs are titled Lovekiller, Breathing Your Love, Insanity and
the latest released single Nobody Knows - which sold platinum,
entering the top 10 on the radio list, topping the iTunes list and designating
"Week smash hit" on both NRJ and RixFM.
- I think we are going from strength to
strength in the sign entries we do here at BMG Chrysalis Scandinavia,
comments Sanken Sandqvist, CEO BMG Chrysalis Scandinavia. Darin is just
further proof of this.
- We are so proud and excited that Darin chose BMG
Chrysalis that its publishing partners and colleagues around the world are
"thrilled" to have access to Darin's amazing songwriting.
- I look forward to working with BMG, says
Darin Zanyar himself. I think they will fill a large and important role
in my life as a songwriter, both in Europe and the U.S..
- We are more than proud to welcome with
Darin one of Sweden's most successful artists, writes Thomas Scherer, SVP
International Repertoire Services, BMG International in a press release.
- Darin is not only an amazing pop artist but
also a very talented writer for contemporary music in different genres. We are
really looking forward to bring his success as songwriter and artist on the
next level in Europe, Asia and the US.
Right now Darin is taking part in TV shows Så
Mycket Bättre (TV4) and Tack För Musiken with
Niklas Strömstedt (SVT), both of which will be broadcast in the
autumn. Currently, Darin is working on his next studio album which will be
released in Sweden next year.
