16 cents after recouping her advance means she could a earn them a million dollars worth of records/streams and only bring home an additional 50k. Giving your label 950K out of million earned seems like a shytty deal.
Her advance was only $85k

How you take a modest advance and still get locked in a bad deal, that has to be recouped like 60x over by now

She should be in the renegotiation stage

16% is industry standard from what I've seen. She was a nobody working as a cleaner and stripper. She's winning if you ask me. I think it's a 4 album deal. 2 more albums she'll be able to renegotiate. She's antisocial and barely wants to do interviews and performances. She wasn't going to make it as an independent artist. She's literally the exact type of person who should be signed to a label.

I was going off the tweet in op that said her advance was 110K
that's what I think she tried to negotiate but the final number was 85k but that may have just been the first album. It might increase for subsequent albums.

The signed recording contract between Walker and LVRN dates from November 2017, and it looks like whoever had been advocating for the singer came up short during the negotiation process. In the final deal, Walker’s initial advance was $85,000; her initial royalty was 15%; the contract included four options.

I saw something that said she get 6000$ for every 1 million streams. I would've thought she knew she was worth more than that :mjcry:
