Warner Chappell Production Music Introduces Run4Cover Label
Warner Chappell Music (WCM) and Warner Chappell Production Music (WCPM) have joined forces to unveil Run4Cover, a new label that offers fresh takes on well-known and beloved songs. This collaboration combines WCM’s extensive music catalog with WCPM’s production expertise to provide innovative arrangements of popular tunes from various genres and time periods. The launch of Run4Cover aims to cater to a wide range of clients, including major productions and independent content creators, while also simplifying the licensing process.
With the rise of social media platforms like TikTok bringing older songs back into the spotlight, Run4Cover seeks to reimagine timeless classics through cover versions, allowing for creative reinterpretations and fresh perspectives. By offering a diverse selection of covers, the label breathes new life into iconic songs, providing a platform for artists to showcase their talents in unique styles such as string quartet, big band, nu-disco, and “haunting trailerizations.”
According to Pat Weaver, Head of Production at Warner Chappell Production Music, the collaboration with WCM presents an exciting opportunity to reinterpret both popular hits and lesser-known gems from their vast music library. The convenience of providing a one-stop cover solution also saves clients valuable time. Rich Robinson, EVP Global Synchronization and Media Original Music at Warner Chappell Music, emphasizes the importance of exploring different dimensions and facets of great songs through custom covers.
All compositions released under the Run4Cover label are under the control of WCM, while the original master recordings belong to WCPM. This streamlined approach ensures a simplified clearance process for clients, allowing for a seamless experience and personalized cover options. With over 35 years of experience in the industry, WCPM stands as a global leader in production and custom music, releasing over 500 new albums annually across various genres and catalogs within the Warner Music Group family.
