Corey Hart Surrenders Publishing To Peermusic

By David Farrell

The deal is a joint signing between peermusic’s Canadian and American offices and encompasses Hart’s entire back and future catalogue worldwide, including the hits “Sunglasses at Night” and “Never Surrender”.


Sony previously represented Hart’s catalogue for the world excluding Canada, and now peermusic’s deal with Hart marks the first time he has agreed to a publishing deal that includes Canada.

The Montreal pop star has sold over 16 million records worldwide, amassing nine consecutive US Billboard Top 40 Hits, and achieving 32 top 40 singles in Canada.

Neville Quinlan, peermusic Canada MD, is quoted as stating that “Corey Hart is a true Canadian icon – his musical legacy and the incredible excitement that his new EP has generated is proof of that. Few songwriters achieve the kind of global success that Corey has, so it’s an honour to welcome him to the peermusic family.”

604 Records Co-Founder Jonathan Simkin Says Carly Rae Jepsen Recorded a Whole Unreleased Album Around 'Call Me Maybe'

The British Columbia-native was signed to Interscope Records, but was reportedly tasked to make a brand new record with all new producers.

An unreleased Carly Rae Jepsen project exists out in the music ether, according to Jonathan Simkin.

In a recent podcast episode of I Hate Simkin, the 604 Records co-founder reveals that prior to the No. 1 success of Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” an entire project had been made — but it didn’t make it to the masses.
