Deezer has launched a new website and social media campaign to publicly champion a user-centric payment system (UCPS) and is planning to launch a pilot in France early next year – if it can get rightsholders onboard. Speaking to journalists at a briefing in Paris last week, the company said that it has a “technical solution in place”, the implementation of which “does not require significant investment” and is now in talks with rightsholders and French policy makers to rally support for the new system. Music companies that support Deezer’s UCPS proposal so far include Because Music, Wagram Music, Play Two, Idol, Tot ou tard, Outhere Music, #NP, Believe Distribution Services, Six et Sept, International Artist Organization of Music, FELIN, UPFI, MMF France and GAM.

La “lyric video” de “Ut Fortis” en ligne à l’occasion de la journée mondiale de prévention du suicide. La chanson, conceptuelle, avait déjà les paroles en anglais, traduites en français. La vidéo réalisée avec la cinématographie du référent directeur de photographie Mitch Martinez, montée par Yannick Martin, est une oeuvre collaborative traduite dans les quatre langues parmi les langages les plus usités dans le monde : le chinois, l’anglais, l’espagnol et l’arabe.

For a long time, we’ve heard Spotify boss Daniel Ek discuss his ambitions for the service to become a true “two-sided marketplace” for artists. In layman’s terms, this means Spotify wants to provide tools for creators that improve the music they make (and the way they market it), as opposed to just giving fans the means to play their tracks. If Spotify can justifiably charge artists money to use these tools, Ek’s comments lead us to assume, then all the better. Last year, Ek’s aspiration for Spotify to become “two-sided” in this manner made a big step forward when the firm acquired part of Distrokid, and announced it was becoming a digital distributor in its own right.
