Sony Music Releases Streaming Royalties To Legacy Artists

This falls under their initiative “Artists Forward” which aims to enhance industry practice and transparency among creatives. With Sony making the move, will other major record labels follow suit? NME Asia’s journalist Adrian Yap joins us to share his thoughts.
