Sony Music France Acquires Recording and Publishing Label Spookland

The company will now operate as Bleu Revolver

Sony Music Group France (SMGF) has acquired independent French record and publishing label Spookland, which was founded in 2012 by songwriter-producer Maxim Nucci, AKA Yodelice.

The deal:

  • SMGF takes ownership of the recorded and publishing rights and repertoire of Spookland’s catalog.

  • That includes all the albums by renowned French artist Jain, four albums by label founder Yodelice, publishing rights on 28 tracks by Johnny Hallyday, and emerging artists such as Barry Moore.

  • Spookland will continue its activities under a new banner, Bleu Revolver, in partnership with SMGF.

What they said:

  • Maxim Nucci (Yodelice): “Spookland was born to offer a creative playground that is free, demanding, and open to the world. With both Sony Music France and Sony Music Publishing France, it has made sense for years: today it becomes obvious. This partnership will allow us to elevate our artists and pursue our international ambitions without compromising our identity.”
