All’s Changed! “Nothing’s Changed” has Changed Hands!


Chris Breen signs a Publishing Deal with Leopard Music


On August 23 I signed a single song assignment with Leopard Music for Nothing's Changed and then posted the five copies of the contract off to my Norwegian co-writers, Torgeir Bjordal and Sturle Strauss Lisaeth, for their signatures. Leopard Music Publishing really like the tracks I’ve done with Torgeir and it is great news indeed that we’ve signed the first of our co-writes over to them for global marketing and publishing rights… Hopefully the first of many!

One other track, All Because Of You is earmarked for the opener and single on a forthcoming album… But if that doesn’t happen (Hey! You know what this business is like!), we are happy knowing that Leopard want to sign that song too.

STOP PRESS! NEW SONG "I DON'T KNOW" AVAILABLE FOR RECORDING
Just arrived in from Torgeir's studios in Bergen, Norway is our latest co-write, I Don't Know, again featuring the fantastic vocals of young Irish singer Niahm. Be one of the very first to hear this song by clicking HERE.

Regular visitors to this Blog and to my Lyrico Website will know that Torgeir is one of the main composers and producers I work with and if you listen to the co-writes on the site and All I Want From Love (co-written with Paul Jeffery and produced by Torgeir), you’ll get an idea of the pop-rock sound that I absolutely love working on. My favourite is the powerful and so, so catchy Independence Day. If you’re a professional songwriter and you also write in this style and need a lyricist on a project, or a co-writing team, you know where Torgeir and I can be found! Please just email me on chrisbreen@lyrico.co.uk

In addition to hopefully doing many more co-writes with both Torgeir and Paul over the next year, I’m working on a new pop-rock project with Mark Francis, along with two ongoing dance music ones (Paul again with producer Sharon Sullivan) and the second with writer/producer Richard Cory. Please watch this space to hear a range of new commercial/pop songs (hopefully coming soon!) or get in touch with me if you need material writing in that style for your project!

In a completely different vein, I’ve just completed the third co-write with a new writing partner, Glenn Tollett. All three songs are in a Classical/Popular-Opera vein and two are currently being recorded-up by a new talent in the Opera field, the award-winning live performer, Carl Taylor. We’re hoping these recordings will be available on the Lyrico website soon, but, in the meantime listen to the Scott Davies versions of the first song, Love To Love Again (in English) or Italian (Fammi Innamorar'!!).

Well, apologies for the lack of ‘funnies’ on this posting, but I thought I best at least do one that’s about the music and some real news (for a change!). I promise I'll get utterly daft again for the next posting!

Look after yourselves.

Chris
