HopeStreet Recordings Signs Deal With Native Tongue Publishing

Congrats HopeStreet!

Purveyors of Australia's best funk and soul, HopeStreet Recordings has penned a deal with Native Tongue Music Publishing to develop and work with HopeStreet's varied catalogue, currently encompassing The Cactus Channel, Emma Donovan & The Putbacks, The Bombay Royale and more.

Co-founder Tristan Ludowyk says of the partnership, "We’re hugely inspired by labels like Stax, with an in-house family that could do everything from write, arrange, produce and perform on the hits. This partnership with Native Tongue provides a great opportunity for our artists and production team."

Native Tongue's Matt Tanner said, "We’re excited to work with HopeStreet, who are a Melbourne institution that continually deliver the best soul and funk artists and releases that Australia has to offer."
