Publishing contracts deal with the "songwriting" side of the music business rather than the recording side. (Refer to the original thread below if you need clarity).

As an artist, while you may not own the masters under your record deal, the one thing you do own is your songwriting catalogue alongside every other person who contributed to the songs.

THREAD 🧵 📍📍
A record deal refers to a contract between a recording artist and a record label that sets out terms including duration, advance/recording funds, revenue splits, ownership, exclusivity etc.
Under a traditional record deal, the artist receives an advance which is primarily meant to enhance/fund the creation of records/albums. The money would also help get the artist out of the "trenches" and into a more comfortable space that allows them to focus on making hits.
