London Grammar sign with PPL for international royalties collections
London Grammar are the latest performers to sign an agreement with PPL for the collection of their international neighbouring rights royalties.
The addition of the UK electronic-pop trio to PPL’s roster puts them alongside recent signees Lewis Capaldi, Ice Spice, FLO and Kenya Grace.
On signing with PPL, London Grammar said: “It’s clear to us that the PPL team is committed to supporting artists to pursue a sustainable music career. Its adept handling of data allows us, as musicians, to focus on what we do best – creating, recording and performing music. We would like to thank PPL for all it does, not just for us, but for the wider music community.”
The news comes as London Grammar prepare to headline this year’s Latitude Festival, which runs from 25-28 July.
London Grammar – comprising vocalist Hannah Reid, guitarist Dan Rothman and multi-instrumentalist Dominic ‘Dot’ Major – formed in Nottingham in 2009. Their debut album, 2013’s If You Wait, peaked at number two on the Official UK Albums Chart and includes the single “Strong”, which won at Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
The trio’s second and third albums, ‘Truth is a Beautiful Thing’ (2017) and ‘Californian Soil’ (2021), both entered at number one. Their new album, ‘The Greatest Love’, is released on 13 September.
