All Saints star Shaznay Lewis is the latest songwriter to sign with Warner Chappell Music.
The star has co-written the majority of songs for the group, including No.1 hit singles Never Ever, Bootie Call and Pure Shores.
And after the deal was confirmed, Shaznay called the company the “perfect place to look after my back catalogue”.
She said: “After speaking to Emily (Foreman, creative manager), Amber (Davis, UK head of A&R) and Paul (Smith, Vice President, A&R and International Songwriters) I knew that Warner Chappell would be the perfect place to look after my back catalogue and will be a great support in my work going forward.
“I’ve been working on a lot of great song ideas and I’m looking forward to developing them with the Chappell team.”
Amber added: “We couldn’t be happier with Shaznay joining the Warner Chappell roster, her catalogue is timeless and one of the classics of the ‘90s period.
“The team is excited to get to work placing her iconic songs in new and interesting places.
“We’re over the moon that Emily was able to make this her first catalogue and futures signing so quickly after re-joining the team and that we’re able to work with Fascination Management on another writer.”
In addition to her work with All Saints, Shaznay has written a number of hits for other artists, including How Ya Doin’? for Little Mix and Stooshe’s BRIT-nominated single Black Heart.
In 2019, she co-wrote the theme music to Netflix’s ‘Turn Up Charlie’, alongside Idris Elba.
The signing comes after Shaznay and bandmate Melanie Blatt were spotted at the studio in an an Instagram Story posted by Grammy nominated producer Michael Angelo on Thursday, April 29, and appeared to be collaborating on new tunes.
Past credits for the musician include Louise and Hilary Duff, although he hasn’t collaborated with All Saints in the past.
It’s yet to be confirmed whether Shaznay and Mel are working on All Saints tracks or whether the studio session was part of a solo project separate from the band.
The group released their fifth studio album ‘Testament’ in 2018.
