music publishing company, <b>Sony/ATV</b> has announced the relaunch of <b>Hickory Records</b> to support the release of
<b>Lenka</b>’s forthcoming album <b><i>The Bright Side</i></b>. The upcoming LP will be released on
<b>June 16<sup>th</sup></b> via <b>Hickory Records/RED Distribution </b>in conjunction with<b> Lenka</b>’s own label<b> Skipalong Records</b>.
</span><a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6568942/sony-atv-to-release-album-the-bright-side-for-synch-superstar-lenka-via-hickory-records-the-show"><b><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">PRESS HERE</span></b></a><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">
to read the full story on <b><i>Billboard.com</i></b>. The idea came about when Lenka’s manager,
<b>Ron Shapiro,</b> suggested to Sony/ATV’s co-president, <b>Danny Strick, </b>that Hickory - along with RED to distribute - release
<em><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">The Bright Side</span></em> in North America. Shapiro thought it was a perfect match, since Sony/ATV had been so successful with Lenka. The publishing company has secured more than 200 synchs for her
songs and nearly 70 of them for “The Show," the first single off <b>Lenka’</b>s eponymous 2008 debut album.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">"We've had such luck with synch over the years that we felt this would be a really good opportunity to help Lenka break a single in radio and do the marketing that's required to bring
her to a wider audience," says <b>Strick.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">Lenka</span></b><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"> tells
<b><i>Billboard</i>,</b> “The deal represents peace of mind. I don't have to feel that sort of fear of everything falling apart or people changing guard and then losing interest in me because I know that we've got a great thing going on.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><br>
