Music licensing projects
We've helped a range of music companies and brands to showcase visual artists’ work, from album covers and promotional material, to music videos and live shows. Our licensing team provide expertise and advice to ensure the artists’ rights are respected and protected, while providing clients with clear terms and agreements outlining exactly how the work can be used.
Album cover - EMI and the estate of Terry Frost
The Chemical Brothers selected a work of Frost’s for the cover artwork of their 2021 single ‘The Darkness That You Fear’.
Frost’s work ‘Things to Come’ 1978, was licensed by EMI for reuse for the single cover artwork, released 2 years ahead of the 2023 album ‘For That Beautiful Feeling’.
DACS set up the artwork image licensing agreement between EMI and the estate of Terry Frost.
