Document background
The Single Song Recording Agreement is a specialized contract used in the Canadian music industry when an artist agrees to record a single song for a record label or producer. This focused agreement is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where single releases are increasingly common and artists may prefer project-based commitments over traditional multi-album deals. The document addresses all aspects of the recording project, including technical specifications, ownership rights, compensation, and distribution terms, while ensuring compliance with Canadian copyright law and provincial regulations. It's commonly used for new artists testing the waters with a label, established artists doing one-off collaborations, or independent projects with specific producers. The agreement provides a clear framework for the single song's recording, exploitation, and monetization while protecting all parties' interests under Canadian jurisdiction.
