PICTURE OF THE WEEK THE TASTEMAKERS Today’s opinion formers predict tomorrow’s headline acts SYNC STORY ANDY COWN MOJO The tale behind a standout sync deal in the industry… 1 Dan Shears & The Velveteen Orkestra • In The Shadows Of Better Men Strawbychka With a songwriting gift that belies his tender years and a back-up band keen as mustard, haunted troubadour Shears strides into town evoking seasoned greats like Cave and Cohen. Not a second is wasted on this crystalline paean to unrequited love. DAVE SMITH LIVE4EVER 2 The Longsands • Worlds Collide Unknown Soldier Records There’s grounded, men-of-the-people lyrics and kiss-the-sky guitar breaks aplenty, but it’s Paul Stephenson’s constant patting of cymbals and impressive, foot-tap- ping drum shuffles which fight off the competition and linger as the standout fea- ture of the latest impressive single release from the Newcastle quintet. CAMILLA PIA BBC 6MUSIC 3 Cult of Youth • Love Will Prevail Sacred Bones Records This latest effort from the -based bunch finds them coming good on their early promise and dishing up Crass Records, Miles Davis and Velvet Underground- influenced punchy, political, strings-tinged stomp-alongs – a “plea for peace in a world gone mad” apparently.

LABELS I BY TIM INGHAM

umber-crunching A&Rs, look away now: Simon Raymonde admits he can’t add up Nand that when he signs a new act to , he never believes he’s going to make any money anyway. Despite these typically self-deprecating allegations, Raymonde – who re-took his maths O-Level 10 times at school – acknowledges that he’s helmed a “pretty good label” over the past 15 years. Which is a bit like saying Mo Farah is a decent little jogger, or that Prince Harry will show you a mildly enjoyable evening in the City of Sin. Since being formed in 1997 by members Raymonde and Robin Guthrie – initially as a controllable conduit to release their own work – the consistent refinement of Bella’s output has been little short of ludicrous. He might not slavishly strive for monetary profit, but Raymonde sure has a knack for striking audible gold. From Australian duo to baritone Mojo favourite , virtuoso Texan rockers to the ‘pied-piper of Brit “Winning the only Music Week Award voted for by times – but each never lasted for more than five or Folk’ , the exec has rarely put a foot six minutes.

THE UK’S OFFICIAL STREAMING CHART launched only around four months ago, but it has already developed its own personality. Rather than simply mirroring what is being downloaded in the one-track digital sector, the chart is demonstrating genuine individuality with some tracks enjoying far better receptions here than at retail or radio. In many ways this fledgling countdown takes in a mixture of elements from far more dyed-in-the-wool industry charts, finding places for a number of the very biggest download sellers, giving continuing support like radio does to recurrent hits long after they have peaked at retail and also backing deeper cuts from a range of top-drawer albums.

Wayne Wilkins’ Ego has landed. Ego Frenzy, that is. He’s one of the UK’s most successful songwriters and producers of the last few years and the publishing company he launched in 2010 has just topped the with Flo Rida’s Whistle. Music Week finds out more about big plans ahead PUBLISHING I BY PAUL WILLIAMS

he UK songwriter/producer behind hits for the likes of Beyoncé, Cheryl Cole and TNatasha Bedingfield is whistling a happy tune right now after his publishing company landed a No.1 song on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Wayne Wilkins launched Ego Frenzy two-and- half years ago with his own Miami-based management team of Danny Dominguez, Greg Frankel and Erica Grayson as a place to sign and nurture fledgling songwriting talent. It has now seriously put itself on the map following the US chart-topping success last month for its British writer David Glass on Flo Rida’s Whistle (left).

“[Whistle] is a little bit of a calling card, but the truth is everybody is getting to know each of our writers now” WAYNE WILKINS, EGO FRENZY

“It is a little bit of a calling card, but the truth is everybody [in the industry] is getting to know each of our writers now so they are all getting in with big writers on their own,” says Wilkins who has been inundated with congratulatory messages from record executives about Whistle’s achievement. “Of course, it helps because basically it is ‘You guys know what you are doing and you’ve picked someone who’s been able to write a No.1 record in America.’” Wilkins suggests it will be Glass himself who will reap the biggest rewards from Whistle’s success as more executives will now be aware of him and what he can deliver. “If you are David Glass and you send in a song WAYNE’S people will listen to it seriously now. For me the most you can ask for if you are pitching in a song is for people to really concentrate and give it a shot,” says Wilkins who hails from Croydon but for a number of years has worked out of Los Angeles. Glass has been known to Wilkins for about a decade having first come across him as a guitarist for whom the Ego Frenzy co- WORLD founder co-authored a string of hits, including Wilkins_News and Playlists 04/09/2012 12:08 Page 29
