The three-album deal secures release options for all other global territories with EMI, except for the UK and Ireland, where â€˜Wonderâ€™ was developed and has been released by independent record label, Saffron Music Ltd, APA reports with reference to Eminâ€™s official website.

To mark the occasion, Emin performed two of his UK hit songs, â€˜Obviousâ€™ and â€˜Just For One Nightâ€™ at EMI Musicâ€™s â€˜Partnersâ€™ Conferenceâ€™. Held at EMIâ€™s impressive in-house live venue in Cologne, the audience consisted of around 270 leading players in German retail, press, TV and radio.

Commenting on the deal, Emin said: â€œIt is a dream come true for my music to have been discovered by EMI. Signing with a major label, means working with a major team who have experience of working with successful artists. This gives my music the best possible chance of reaching new audiences across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and beyond!â€

The contract signing was attended by Uli Mueke, the CEO of EMI Music Germany and Wolfgang Hanebrink, the Chairman, as well as the senior executives from Eminâ€™s international management and UK record label.

â€œI couldnâ€™t be happier and signing to EMI is a tremendous confidence booster for everyone involved in my musicâ€ said Emin.
