RATIONALE SIGNS WITH WARNER CHAPPELL
Ahead of the release of his highly anticipated debut album (October 6th), Rationale (Tinashé Fazakerley) has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with Warner Chappell. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Rationale has also written cuts for Rag'n'Bone Man, Katy Perry and Nause in recent months.
"I know a lot of writers and artists singed to Warner Chappell. If you ask any one of them, they'll tell you that their team is nothing short of brilliant. They work incredibly hard and there's a real family atmosphere that I love. So, when the opportunity arose to sign and work with Paul Smith again, it was a real no brainer for me!"
