Good news for Johnny
Good news for Johnny
I wonder what our friend will say to this
Could it be the difference between representing him as a songwriter before and now as an artist? And his records will no longer be on his New Voodoo label.Shouldn't that say re-signed?
The company has represented the former Smiths guitarist as a songwriter for a number of years, publishing his last three solo albums: 2013’s ‘The Messenger’, 2014’s ‘Playland’ and 2018’s ‘Call The Comet’.

They've distributed/manufactured his music for ages.I thought he was with Warner previously, although Warner is a distributor fro BMG?

Happy for Johnny. His solo albums, although not perfect, have all showed he still got it as a songwriter and a musician.
The very same BMG that dropped Morrissey
.
Yep don’t get too excited Morrissey haters, FWD is right, it should say Marr has been resigned with BMG
which should come as no surprise, as Marr is a very nice person that makes very safe music and when BMG says ‘jump!’ Marr asks ‘how high?’
Edit: Aw, the Morrissey haters don’t like my post.
Well, one could only hope that BMG quietly resigns Morrissey too.

I don’t think Morrissey’s music is the problem. Alain’s tunes are as safe as Johnny’s, and the same pretty much holds for the other co- writers. And this is not a criticism. But is any record company willing to release an album that takes its title from the MEN arena bombing ?which should come as no surprise, as Marr is a very nice person that makes very safe music and when BMG says ‘jump!’ Marr asks ‘how high?’

Yep, people buy his music so they resigned him.
Of course people buy his music, people by music by ‘artists’ like Lady Gaga, etc
Does that mean it’s actually good?
No.
Surface, we’ve been through this a million times, record, ticket sales, popularity does not mean the artist is an Artist or creates good music.
I’m happy for Johnny, he’s a family man paying the bills, it’s a job for him.
