BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Shakin' Stevens, born on March 4, 1948 in Cardiff, Wales, UK, is a platinum-selling Welsh rock and roll singer and songwriter. He holds the distinction of being the UK's biggest-selling singles artist of the 1980s.
With his energetic performances and catchy tunes, Shakin' Stevens quickly rose to fame in the music industry. His unique blend of rock and roll captured the hearts of fans across the UK and beyond.
Throughout his career, Shakin' Stevens has released numerous hit singles that have topped charts and become timeless classics. His talent for songwriting combined with his charismatic stage presence has made him a beloved figure in the world of music.

The groundwork for Shakin’ Stevens new album&nbsp;Re-Set&nbsp;was in pre-Covid 2018, after which came rehearsals and the&nbsp;Greatest Hits – And More&nbsp;tour. That took Shaky around European hubs from Berlin to Vienna and from Prague to Warsaw, then on to an 18-date UK schedule. “He came, he shook, he conquered,” wrote the&nbsp;Daily Telegraph&nbsp;of the London show at Cadogan Hall. Add to this the much-loved hero of 33 Top 40 UK hits, four No. 1s and a 50-year-plus back story has recently delighted fans who watched Shaky's return to live action shortly before Christmas 2022, as Very Special Guest on Status Quo's UK arena tour. Legions of devotees were treated to a set of old favourites ('Green Door,' 'Marie Marie') woven in with the new track Beyond The Illusion that provided the thread from his rock 'n' roll roots to the present day. From his ole house to his new one, you might say.

Reinvention is a much-used word in the music world. But after redefining his sound and style on 2016's hugely acclaimed&nbsp;Echoes Of Our Times,&nbsp;Shakin' Stevens wasn't content just to press repeat for his next studio project. Now, he's hit&nbsp;Re-Set.

That's the title, and indeed the attitude, of a new album that combines extraordinarily heartfelt and meaningful lyrics with the most impassioned vocal performances he has ever summoned from himself, well over 50 years since his first recordings. If that last album set the bar high, he really has Re-Set it once again, in every sense.

But&nbsp;Re-Set&nbsp;is another story, and one that Stevens can't wait to share with his hugely loyal fan base and new admirers alike. “It's a follow-up,” as he puts it, “but it's different. People were surprised by&nbsp;Echoes Of Our Times,&nbsp;and,” he smiles, “I guess the same is going to happen with&nbsp;Re-Set.”
