 NEW YORK (Universal Press Release) - Universal Music has signed a deal with pop singer Gloria Estefan to administer the publishing of her music, the work of her producer-husband, Emilio, and the catalogs of their two independent labels. Universal, one of the world's top music publishing companies, assumes publishing control of hits on albums by Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony, among others. The Estefans' independent labels of Foreign Imported Productions & Publishing and Estefan Music Publishing Inc. will be consolidated under Universal Music Publishing Group, the company said Friday in a statement. The FIPP and EMPI catalogs of more than 3,000 titles were previously administered by Sony-ATV Music, while Gloria Estefan was previously published through EMI Group.
Gloria Estefan is set to release her first English-language album in six years in the fall. Her hits include "Reach," "Coming Out of the Dark" and "Don't Wanna Lose You."
