Our Record Lable

We have chosen Parlophone as our record label, who will represent our artist, Cara Smith. We chose this specific label for a variety of reasons, such as that this label has signed and represented artist similar to ours, e.g. Garbielle Aplin and Eliza Doolittle. Both these artists target audiences similar to us, showing Parlophone has some experiences attracting females aged between 14-25, and getting them interested in something new. They target British artists who, in their career, become very successful and popular, the Beatles being a great example of this. Parlophone has a good track record and treats its artist well, with the listed female artist reaching fame quickly, ideal for our new, up-and-coming artist.

Parlophone

With more than a century of experience in discovering and nurturing iconic recording artists, Parlophone is among the best known and most loved record labels in the world.

Originally founded in Germany in 1896 by the Carl Lindström Company as Parlophon, the British arm of the label was formed in 1923 under the name Parlophone Records, which quickly developed an identity as a leading jazz label. It has since diversyfied and now signs artists from a variety of genres.

In recent decades, Parlophone artists have continued to make their mark on modern music. The 1990’s saw the careers of Blur and Radiohead take off to huge critical acclaim. In 2000, Coldplay released their number one debut album in the UK, Parachutes, which went on to win a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. With artists as diverse as Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen and Pet Shop Boys, Parlophone flourished throughout the decade as a stalwart of the British music scene.

Most recently, Parlophone has broken influential and popular artists including Gorillaz, Tinie Tempah, Eliza Doolittle, Conor Maynard and Gabrielle Aplin.
