The record company will undertake a project to produce the ‘album ready for launch’. The singer has already written the songs. Contractual negotiations between the singer and the record company will be outsourced to a legal firm. The record company has booked studio time with an external producer and has hired a graphic design company to produce the artwork. The album will be released through established delivery channels, for example it will be available to download or buy on CD. They have decided that the promotional video and launch event are outside the scope of the project. However, the plan for the launch event will be produced by an external events company as part of this project.
