Document background
The Single Deal Recording Contract is a specialized agreement used in the Irish music industry when a record label wishes to engage an artist for a specific, limited recording project rather than a multi-album deal. This contract type is particularly suitable for new artists, special projects, or when parties prefer to limit their initial commitment. The agreement must comply with Irish copyright law, competition law, and relevant EU regulations, while addressing key aspects such as recording obligations, advance payments, royalty structures, and rights exploitation. The document typically includes provisions for digital distribution and streaming platforms, reflecting modern music industry practices, while ensuring compliance with Irish legal requirements regarding contract formation and enforcement. As a Single Deal Recording Contract, it provides a balanced framework for a focused collaboration between label and artist, with clearly defined deliverables and commercial terms.
