Range Media Partners on Tuesday announced its formation of a music publishing division headed up by industry vet Casey Robison.
Robison is just the latest to come aboard at the ever-expanding management and production company, which recently tapped William Lowery and Shawn McSpadden to help broaden the reach of label Range Music from Nashville.
He comes to Range from Hipgnosis Songs Group, where he served as Executive Vice President, A&r. Robison’s time there followed his work to cement 2020 Hipgnosis’ acquisition of Big Deal Music Group, the indie music publisher where he served as Co-President and Partner, building and overseeing the pop division, while solidifying joint ventures with Ricky Reed’s Nice Life Music and Julian Bunetta & John Ryan’s Big Family Music.

American Idol promised to bring the special guests for its farewell season, and on Thursday’s audition episode, the Holy Ghost himself came down from heaven, inhabited the soul of a single mother named La’Porsha Renae, and delivered a rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep” so explosive that Kim Jong-un was like, “Ok, girl, I surrender.”

Oh, did I mention La’Porsha wasn’t even the Season 15 hopeful who moved Keith Urban to tears? Or the one who somehow managed to score four “yes” votes from a three-judge panel? Or the one...

Wednesday night's (March 10) "American Idol" kicked off with Ryan Seacrest staring into the soul of the remaining eight men. I wonder if he knew that some major shake-ups were about to go down in the boys' talent department. Hard rockers covered pop tunes, a bad singer didn't completely suck and the grand finale left one judge in tears.
Let's break this down.
Lee Dewyze
Song: "Fireflies" by Owl City
Verdict: Ow! City
It's a Christmas miracle! Lee Dewyze looked like he was having fun while performing! And he showed his creative side by turning the twee electro-pop of "Fireflies" into a frat house jam. He probably should have saved original recording's Auto-Tune, because his pitch was as off as Ryan Seacrest's pronunciation of Owl City. (Did the radio DJ really say "Al City?") Kara went so far as to say Lee's guitar-based arrangement was superior to Adam Young's Postal Service-y bleeps,...

Oh, Chris Sligh. I remember when you first graced my TV screen way back in 2007, a breath of fresh air amongst a crop of season six Idol lookers like Haley Scarnato. Oh, how silly you were, bouncing into that Idol audition room in Birmingham like an ever-huggable Teletubby, spouting off funny-isms like, " to make David Hasselhoff cry." But now, Chris Sligh, you're making me cry. And not in a good way. This past Saturday, you took to your blog to give season 8's top ten Idols some advice following their final tour date. And though you make some valid points throughout your rant (and yes, I will qualify it as a rant), most of your blog post just reeks of arrogance and negativity. So let's take a look, and refute -- and support when necessary -- some of your points, shall we? Note: This blog post was written prior to...
