Perfect Songs

Perfect Songs is an independent music publishing company with a catalogue containing many memorable songs of the past 25 years.

It is part of the SPZ Group of companies which also includes Sarm Studios (recording studios), ZTT Records, Stiff Records (record labels) and Music Bank hire (equipment hire and rehearsal studios).

Songs featured in their catalogue include Relax and Two Tribes by Frankie Goes to Hollywood – two of the best selling pop hits of the 1980s, the Grammy Award-winning Kiss From A Rose by Seal, Frankie's The Power of Love, and Dreams and Sunshine by Gabrielle (singer), and Beatbox, Close (To The Edit) and Moments in Love by the Art of Noise – two of the most sampled songs in history.

The company was formed in 1982 by record producer Trevor Horn and manager Jill Sinclair and it has been based at the same office –Sarm Studios - ever since. Horn's credits date back to Baby Blue, a 1979 co-write for Dusty Springfield, via hit songs of the 1980s written for Malcolm McLaren and Grace Jones to co-writes in the 2000s (decade) for Cher, Lisa Stansfield and several worldwide smash hit singles for t.A.T.u..

In recent years, Perfect has signed David Jordan (singer) (whose 2007 debut album, Set The Mood, has sold over 150,000 copies), singer-songwriter Kid Harpoon, Alistair Griffin, and Tim Hutton (whose recent co-writes include Ian Brown and Sugardaddy, a partnership with Tom Findlay from Groove Armada).

Two of Perfect's most enduring songwriters were both signed as almost complete unknowns, and have since collected an impressive line of Grammy nominations and awards. Seal, whose hits include Crazy, Kiss From A Rose, Killer and Future Love Paradise. And Marsha Ambrosius, who signed to Perfect in the very early 2000s (decade) and has written for and in collaboration with Michael Jackson and Alicia Keys.

They helped to deliver some of the most memorable music of the 1980s and in the 1990s worked with Gabrielle, Mark Morrison, rapper MC Tunes, rave act Shades of Rhythm and 808 State.
