Linda Perry sues Warner music
Linda Perry, the U.S song writer as well as a singer, claims that the Warner Music Company owes her huge amount of money as royalty from the debut album of singer James Blunt. Linda and James met in the year 2003 and she signed him to produce his album under her label called Custard. Linda gave the debut album of James, “Back to Bedlam” to Atlantic, a Warner subsidiary. Linda has filed a suit in Manhattan Federal Court demanding the lost royalties as well as £2.5 million for damages. The debut album of James Blunt was a hit and it sold over 11 million copies around the world.
The album was able to collect more than £50 million just by the sales. In the lawsuit, it is accused that a multinational corporate company is taking advantage of Custard, a small production company after presenting them with a talented artist. A Warner music spokesperson announced that “Custard” has always been and will continue to be compensated in accordance with the terms of its contractual arrangement with Atlantic. Linda Perry, a former singer of the 4 Non Blondes group, has worked with famous singers like Pink and Christina Aguilera and was able to produce many hits for them.
