Label GB

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Tom Chaplin is the lead singer of Keane, a British rock band known for their heartfelt and anthemic sound. Born in Hastings, UK on March 8, 1979, Chaplin's powerful vocals and emotive lyrics have captivated audiences worldwide. With influences ranging from Snow Patrol to The Killers, his music resonates with fans who appreciate honest and introspective songwriting. Whether performing with Keane or pursuing solo projects, Chaplin continues to inspire listeners with his passionate performances.

Chaplin's distinctive voice has become synonymous with Keane's signature sound. As the frontman of the band, he has helped create hits like "Somewhere Only We Know" and "Everybody's Changing," earning critical acclaim and commercial success. His talent as a songwriter shines through in tracks that explore themes of love, loss, and personal growth.

In addition to his work with Keane, Chaplin has collaborated with other artists such as Brandon Flowers and Richard Ashcroft. He has also embarked on solo endeavors that showcase his versatility as a musician. From intimate acoustic performances to energetic live shows, Chaplin consistently delivers memorable experiences for fans.

This is Midpoint. Tom Chaplin’s third studio album is the first where the musician presents all of himself: as a writer, a singer, a husband, a world-beating artist with a past (and all the ups and downs that come with it) – and as a middle-aged man.

It’s a beautiful collection of songs of reflection and imagination, warmly produced by Ethan Johns (Laura Marling, Paul McCartney), empathetically played by a small group of hand-picked supporting musicians, and recorded in six productive weeks at the end of last year in studios including Peter Gabriel’s Real World in Bath and Paul Epworth’s The Church in North London.
