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 />

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 />

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 />
write two new pieces, requesting<br />
them to draw inspiration from the<br />

Giorgio Battistelli found a source<br />

amorosi, from whose preface he<br />
borrows the title: Inventis facile est<br />
addere. The piece was performed at<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 />

<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 />
