Preceding artists to sign the label have been Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor, and Billboard notes that McCartney and Mitchell both scored hits with construct out Music in 2007.

The trade newspaper plus notes that take in Music “seems to be a natural fit for Simon, who has bounced around labels all through her nearly 40-year career.” What kind of longevity with the label that leaves for Simon is questionable, but as Billboard famous, build out Music fits for these artists and makes the new albums hits via
