AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Music Biz & Rights: Malaysia’s communications minister urged emerging artists to learn basic legal rights before signing label contracts, pointing to tech and digital platforms as new ways to promote without relying only on TV/radio. R&B Spotlight: Kehlani pushed back on claims that “R&B is dead,” saying the genre is thriving and fans just need to dig deeper for new artists. Industry Drama: Dapper Music founder Damilola Akinwunmi responded to accusations from artists, denying forged signatures and arguing quoted “catalogue revenue” figures ignore platform cuts and recoupable costs. Big Releases: The Calling announced its first album in 22 years, Before The World Turns To Dust, arriving Sept. 25. Live & Community: Queens’ International Food and Music Festival returned in Richmond Hill, and a new app called Seen Live lets fans rate and archive DJ sets like “Letterboxd for clubbing.” Legal/AI Culture: A new Billy Joel doc, 1971: Billy Joel’s Lost Interview, will use an AI recreation of the singer from a 1971 interview. Loss: Sri Lankan vocalist Nanda Malini died at 82.
