Rebranding Singe as an original songwriter is no doubt a central focus for RCA and Sony. “It’s about working together to find that medium that’s going to be the best thing to get out to the public.” “When you have something as wholesome as music, and you mix it up with something so shallow as money, it kind of ruins the whole thing.” “Every artist and label has to find their middle ground of where they meet,” he says. The singer also admits there is always going to be a natural trade-off when it comes to the artist/label relationship.

ĭespite the looming pressure of returning to the major, compounded further by RCA’s big spend, Singe is earning every cent so far having already penned “over 400 songs that are just sitting on the laptop”. The five-year recording contract worth more than $2 million saw the singer link up with RCA Records and re-unite with Sony Music Entertainment Australia, the label he was formerly tied to as a member of Australian X Factor alum The Collective. With debut single ‘Rush’ and latest effort ‘Please’, released November 1, Singe has released just two original songs in the last 18 months – unusual for an artist who, back in 2016, inked a deal of this size and stature. “Right now, I need to establish myself as an ass-kicking name in this industry.”

“It’s fun to do covers, but at the same time, they’re not my words,” Singe tells TMN at Sony HQ in Sydney. The 26-year-old has pushed the reset button on his career, two years after signing one of the biggest recording deals with a US label for a new Aussie artist.
