If they dissolve his contract all contractual liabilities with his artist go too. It's up to be parent label to decide whether they keep them or not.

This may be true for Becky G, GRL, etc., but Luke and Kesha signed a deal in 2005-06 and Jive/RCA came on as distributors for her in 2009.

So all this would mean is that Kemosabe would not operate under the Sony umbrella.

This doesn't seem good for Kesha.

What does this mean to artists signed to Kemosabe records?

I wonder where this leaves Kesha. will they buy her out of the contract? If she's still under Luke and doesn't even have Sony to back her up anymore that makes things even worse for her

It just depends on what the contract is. Sony owns Kemosabe. If Kemosabe gets terminated, then Kesha no longer has any obligations

Then this could prove challenging for Kesha....

This is ultimately going to lead to another lawsuit though.

Dr. Luke will be suing Kesha eventually.

MTE. This is NOT good for Kesha

God exists! Yaaaaas

I would be surprised if Sony dropped him without ensuring that she would be released from her contract as well. There would be very little PR gain for them if it didn't solve her problem.

Not true:

When Kesha signed her record contract with Dr. Luke in 2005, it was between her and his company Kasz Money. He later formed a distribution deal with Sony’s subsidiary RCA/Jive in 2009, which brought Kesha to the label.

It actually is. If this is true then Kemosabe is no longer an imprint of sony/rca.

Imo she's more likely to be stuck in the Kemosabe contract now.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS

[Mtjjproducer]

Am I the only one who thinks Sony is doing this to cover their own ass not to help Kesha

Think about it Kesha is signed to Sony via Luke. If they drop Luke then Kesha will still be signed to Luke but Sony has no part in it. If I were ya I wouldn't celebrate because isn't Kesha in a worse position. Now she has no support from a bigger label and she is still signed to Luke. Now she will most likely never be able to work again because she will be locked into Luke's contract and can't work with other Sony producers like sony offered. This seems like Sony's was of clapping back at both of them for bring them into Luke and Kesha's drama. \

Really smart on their part they look like heros by getting rid of Luke but can get revenge on Kesha by knowing she will never work again after she refused Sony's offer and then suing them.

So sad that Ciara's "Dance Like we're Making Love" was produced by Dr. Luke BUT THANK GOD!!!
