Robbie Williams has signed a new publishing deal for BMG to represent all of his songs going back to his early days with Take That.

According to the deal, BMG will now represent his publishing company Farrell Music. It will include songs dating back to Robbie's first days with Take That to Swing Both Ways, his forthcoming solo album due for release this November.

BMG already owns the rights on songs from the solo star’s first four solo albums including hits such as Let Me Entertain You, Rock DJ and Angels.

Hartwig Masuch, chief executive officer of BMG, said: ‘Robbie Williams is a true international superstar with a world-class management team. We are delighted that Robbie and his team have put their trust in BMG to best represent his songwriting interests.’

Alexi Cory-Smith, senior vice president of BMG Chrysalis UK, added: ‘People love Robbie Williams and they love his songs. I’ve heard Angels performed everywhere from a funeral in Brunei to a wedding in Donegal. I am delighted to welcome him, and his world class catalogue of songs, to BMG.’

Farrell Music publishes Williams’ songwriting credits on around 160 songs and six studio albums.
