Q: Tell us how the Michael Jackson<br />

song “Man in the Mirror” originated.<br />

A: “In every way there was just an<br />

angel on our shoulder with this song...<br />

and the work of a great producer,<br />

Quincy Jones. Michael loved the kind<br />

of gospel influence of [the song]. One<br />

of the things that was fun and really<br />

great about Michael was his musicality...<br />

[for example] on the key phrase,<br />

“If you wanna make the world a better<br />

place, you better look at yourself<br />

and make a change,” it’s a really unusual<br />

cluster. It’s like a car horn — C,<br />

D, F, G — and I had it laid out like that<br />

on the demo and Michael just nailed it.<br />

This is a very complicated chord and<br />

there was just no problem… and that<br />

was just his genius musicality with it.”<br />

KERI HILSON<br />

Q: Tell us about “The Way I Are.”<br />

A: When you’re working with Timbaland,<br />

he kind of “scats” the<br />

melody...he was doing, “I ain’t got no<br />

money,” and that became the blueprint.<br />

As he was saying that, I was<br />

thinking “Wow, you have a concept<br />

about being broke and about dating<br />

someone not for their exterior.” I’ve<br />

always had this concept about “taking<br />

your chain off” — you don’t have<br />

to flaunt for me. That’s when I’ll see<br />

the real you...All that is icing...it’s<br />

great, but it’s icing. It was something<br />

I had to say. It was a really conquering<br />

moment to have that song take<br />

off around the world.<br />

GUEST COLUMNIST: Brian Lambert,<br />

SVP Film & TV <strong>Music</strong><br />

Every decade, television<br />

launches a series which<br />

boldly embraces music as<br />

one of its characters. Fox hit<br />

the jackpot this year with the Golden<br />

Globe award-winning musical comedy<br />

“Glee.” While nobody had a crystal ball,<br />

Fox TV music executive, Geoff Bywater,<br />

had the vision and passion to reach out<br />

early and I was fortunate to work closely<br />

with Geoff and Ward at Fox along with<br />

music supervisor PJ Bloom. As a result,<br />

UMPG ended up with 26 songs in the<br />

first 13 episodes of Season 1. We also<br />

had 7 songs on Volume 1 of the Glee<br />

soundtrack and 4 songs on the follow up<br />

Volume 2 (which have cumulatively sold<br />

over 1.3 million units to date). We’re already<br />

off to a great start on the back nine<br />

episodes of Season 1 which begin airing<br />

on April 13th following “American Idol.”<br />

This kind of show, and “Glee” in particular,<br />

has been great for the music<br />

publishing world because it serves as a<br />

great outlet for catalog songs regardless<br />

of who originally recorded them. For<br />

example, when the Glee cast covered<br />

“Lean On Me” (Withers) in Episode 10,<br />

the song hit Top 100 on the UK charts<br />

38 years after its original release.<br />

SUCCESS STORY<br />

Jason Derulo BREAKTHROUGH<br />

Jason Derulo introduced himself to the world with the<br />

No. 1 hit song “Whatcha Say” that quickly went 3x Platinum.<br />

Jason’s second single “In My Head” also reached<br />

the Top 10 and Platinum status, solidifying his hit-making<br />

abilities. Jason shares his talent with label mate Iyaz by cowriting<br />

the catchy hit “Replay,” which ascended up the charts<br />

right along with “Whatcha Say” giving Jason two Top 5 hits at<br />

the same time. With three songs in heavy rotation, and having<br />

toured with the likes of Lady Gaga, it’s safe to say we<br />

are witnessing the evolution of a superstar. UMPG<br />

Battistelli and Luca Francesconi to<br />

BRENTWOOD-BENSON ACQUIRES EMACK<br />

EMACK is the publishing arm of Christian label Gotee<br />

Records. The EMACK catalog includes Relient K, Luna Halo,<br />

Grits, Jennifer Knapp, and more. The deal includes acquisition<br />

of both the song catalog and current artist/writer deals<br />

such as Ayiesha Woods, Sarah Kelly, and B Reith. The<br />

companies will jointly publish future acts signed to the label.<br />

quartets took place between 1990<br />

and 1997, that of Quatuor V in<br />

2005. The unusual Quatuor VII<br />

“Hinterland” for string quartet and<br />

orchestra, on the other hand, defined<br />

by the composer as a hapax,<br />

premiered at the Konzertsaal in<br />

Luzern on 18th April. UMPG<br />

Teatro Dal Verme in Milan and at<br />

the Ponchielli in Cremona. “The exercise<br />

of looking back to the past,<br />

which might seem straightforward,<br />

is in fact today very problematic. I<br />

wanted to avoid the neo-classical<br />

approach,” explains Battistelli. Luca<br />

Francesconi has drawn inspiration<br />

from the libretto of Monteverdi’s<br />

Orpheus. “I compiled a brief text<br />

drawing from Alessandro Striggio’s<br />

work the topical moments in the evolution<br />

of the mood.”<br />

The UPPM Difference<br />

<strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Publishing</strong> Production<br />

<strong>Music</strong> (better known as UPPM)<br />

has just completed another<br />

record year. In spite of the difficult<br />

economy, UPPM,<br />

the world’s leading<br />

production music<br />

company managed<br />

to exceed its goals<br />

for both revenue<br />

and bottom line.<br />

How could this<br />

happen in such a<br />

trying time? Well it<br />

goes back to what<br />

makes UPPM different<br />

from the rest<br />

of our “core” business<br />

in <strong>Publishing</strong>—UPPM<br />

owns<br />

both the “master”<br />

and the underlying composition (“publishing”)<br />

as well. So in essence this<br />

means that UPPM is like a record company<br />

and a music publisher rolled in to<br />

one. This allows for easier, one-stop<br />

shopping for clients and because the<br />

works are not popular songs, they are<br />

a license would be on the Core side or<br />

if they were custom scored. Having this<br />

more affordable option for our UMPG<br />

economic times.<br />

<strong>Universal</strong> has continued its support<br />

for UPPM in 2009 by investing in<br />

the acquisition of one of Europe’s<br />

largest and most well regarded library<br />

companies, KAPAGAMA.<br />

Through this acquisition, UPPM has<br />

strengthened its position in France,<br />

Germany and through-out Europe<br />

as well as in the US where its libraries<br />

are also distributed.<br />

To build on this<br />

market leadership,<br />

UMPG also agreed<br />

to invest in a<br />

total revamping of<br />

the UPPM website<br />

which is the key tool<br />

that UPPM clients<br />

use when searching<br />

for and licensing production<br />

music. The<br />

result of this new<br />

tool was unveiled<br />

at the UPPM Worldwide<br />

Conference<br />

which was held in<br />

London in early March. As technological<br />

tools are a key differentiator in<br />

this market, the new websites will help<br />

UPPM springboard to the forefront<br />

with technology leadership and help<br />

UPPM further its lead in this competitive<br />

market. UMPG<br />

in both regular programming, interstitial uses and<br />
