Sony Music Publishing Nashville and Domain Capital Group have partnered to acquire Miranda Lambert‘s catalog, encompassing her complete back catalog of songs. SMP Nashville and Domain have also signed a go-forward publishing deal with Lambert covering future works, extending SMP’s longstanding partnership with the country superstar, which originally began in 2003.
Managing Director, Domain Capital Group Pete Chiappetta says, “Miranda Lambert’s many awards and accolades are a testament to her ability to create impactful songs and her catalog is full of them. We are excited to be able to partner with her as well as Rusty and the incredible team at Sony Music Publishing and see what Miranda does next. This catalog is a meaningful addition to Domain’s country music portfolio and reflects our continued focus on investing in timeless songs and the writers who create them.”
“Miranda is real in every sense of the word,” shares Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston. “Her authenticity sets her apart and has made her a trailblazing songwriter whose voice and songs have shaped modern country music. We are honored to partner with Pete and Domain to champion her incredible songs and continue to support her as she chases her dreams to new heights.”
A critically acclaimed, award-winning songwriter, artist, entertainer, producer and entrepreneur, Lambert’s catalog encompasses No. 1 hits including “White Liar,” “Bluebird,” “Over You” and “Heart Like Mine,” as well as No. 1 country albums including the Platinum-certified The Weight of These Wings, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Kerosene. She has also achieved acclaim for songs she has penned for other artists including Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know,” Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” and Ashley Monroe’s “I’m Good At Leavin’,” plus Luke Combs’s “Outrunnin’ Your Memory” and Lainey Wilson’s “Good Horses,” both of which also showcase Lambert as a featured artist.
Her current Grammy-nominated single, “A Song To Sing,” which she co-wrote and sings on with Chris Stapleton, arrived as the biggest streaming debut of her career, while her additional co-written collaboration “Trailblazer” with Reba McEntire and Lainey Wilson is also up for a Grammy this year. Her tenth solo studio album, the Grammy-nominated Postcards from Texas, continued her streak of 10 consecutive Top 10s on the Top Country Albums chart.
Lambert’s critically acclaimed catalog of music will also serve as the inspiration for a forthcoming project being developed by Sony Pictures Television for Hulu.
Lambert was represented in the transaction by Jess Rosen at Greenberg Traurig, LLP, and Domain Capital Group was represented by Sheppard Mullin.
