BRUNO DESPLAN – Album “CoHitDuÔ” & Isabelle Guidon & Francois-Pierre Camin Featuring Clotilde Rullaud Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd Distribution Sergent Major Company Ltd – The Orchard The album "CoHitDuÔ" is written, composed, played on the piano by Bruno Desplan who merges his voice with that of Clotilde Rullaud to form an atypical Quintet with his accomplices the bassist François-Pierre Camin and the percussionist Isabelle Guidon , rallied by the flutist Nadia Feknous . Together, they concoct a sensitive jazz with subtle flavors, spiced with Caribbean syncopations, with Asian harmonies on a melodic French poetry seasoned with contemporary dissonances; which describes in 14 titles the mixture of sounds and words, the sensual, sensory, sentimental and even sexual sensations of a dating relationship to the official union.

The three major music companies are collectively worth more than $85 billion – and they have Tencent to thank. MBW can publish that number with more certainty than we’ve been able to in some time, thanks to last week’s news that China’s Tencent Holdings Ltd. has made a bid to acquire 10%-20% of Universal Music Group, at a company-wide valuation for UMG of €30bn ($33.63bn). By default, this approach from Tencent (run by CEO & Chairman, Ma ‘Pony Ma’ Huateng, pictured) has become the first market-tested barometer of what the strategic value of a major music company may be today. Tencent’s bid slaps a 30X multiple on UMG’s EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) profit figure for the 12 calendar months of 2018 – i.e. the last fiscal year of the music company and its French parent, Vivendi. In February, Universal confirmed its EBITA figure was €902m for this FY2018 period. In order to transition this €902m into an annual EBITDA number, we need ...

Pulse Music Group co-founder Scott Cutler loves this quote from   Apocalypse Now  filmmaker   Francis Ford Coppola. It’s clear that such a glass-half-full mindset is something Pulse lives by. “[Coppola] didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about the [shots] that he didn’t get,” says Cutler. “He got enough great shots to make a movie. And as long as we’re doing well, and it’s working, it’s good.” Pulse is definitely doing well. The independent Los Angeles-based publisher, management and services company has shown a knack for signing some of the hottest songwriters amid a ten-year track record of backing talent. Big recent hits from Pulse writers include Travis Scott’s  Sicko Mode  feat. Drake via OZ, Maroon 5’s  Girls Like You  feat.

Pulse songwriter Marty James also co-wrote the remix of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s Latin mega ...
