BMG Rights Management 

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

Bryan Ferry, CBE (born 26 September 1945) is an English singer and songwriter. He gained fame as the lead vocalist and principal songwriter of the glam art rock band, achieving three number one albums and ten top ten singles in the UK between 1972 and 1982. In 1973, he embarked on a successful solo career. In 1982, Ferry decided to focus solely on his solo work and disbanded his band. However, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001 before ultimately breaking up in 2011.

Roxy Music mastermind Bryan Ferry recently collaborated with Netflix on the German period drama Babylon Berlin, an experience that served as the inspiration for a new solo album called Bitter-Sweet. The album, like 2012’s The Jazz Age, is credited to Bryan Ferry and His Orchestra. The album, which further explores Ferry’s jazz influences, includes reinterpretations of Roxy Music cuts like While My Heart Is Still Beating and Dance Away. Ferry is also tinkering with some of his own solo songs, such as the title track, which Ferry’s refashioned as a sumptuous, smoky affair buoyed by melancholic horns.
