The global health crisis means that it is unsafe for large groups of people to congregate in the same area.

With this in mind, executives at Sony Music, Warner Music and the Universal Music Group have ordered employees to work from home until 2021 and collaborate with colleagues digitally.

This now means that artists hoping to release material within the next year will be required to do so with help from teams now charged with creating campaigns from the comfort and safety of their homes.

Although offices are open if needed, WFH should be the first option as the labels continue to prioritize the safety of all parties involved. UMG and WMG said they would review the opening of offices in January 2021, while SME stated they don’t anticipate a return to U.S. offices before the calendar year.
