UK LABEL have mainly been concentrating on developing new composers and producers. However, this has resulted in a shortfall in the lyrics department. What they would like to do now is try to match up a few of their best composers with some good LYRICISTS, then put the songs with some of the artists waiting in the wings to be produced by their production teams. A kind of 'Tin Pan Alley' approach, going back to the old way of doing things (Motown, Sun, Stiff etc..), but utilising the Internet to swap creative ideas between the artists and songwriters.
