EMI begins the roll-out of the media campaign for the new album this week, as the major gears up for the first significant release under its new A&R structure.
EMI will hold listening sessions for Viva La Vida this coming Wednesday and Thursday at Abbey Road Studios for journalists from long-lead publications. The listening sessions follow the announcement last week of a new UK A&R structure in which managing directors Miles Leonard and Ferdy Unger-Hamilton were promoted to president of A&R labels for Parlophone and Virgin respectively. EMI Music UK senior vice president Mark Collen, who oversees the Angel label, and Terry Felgate, managing director of EMI Records, will also be changing roles but details have yet to be finalised. A source says that the pair are “considering other senior roles”.
Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends comprises ten tracks produced by Brian Eno and Markus Dravs.
