549 — GoldState Music

Needs attention

• Surrender: The acquisition agreement is dated May 6, 2024, after both related posts (May 2020). The copy shows a DocuSign envelope ID and the buyer’s signature, but no seller signatures or completion record; the transfer is conditioned on receipt of the purchase price, and the Cash Date/closing evidence is not in the reviewed extract. Confirm execution, closing/effective date, and whether rights to pursue uses predating the transfer were conveyed.
• Happiest Year: The available acquisition is from 2025, after the March 2021 post. The notarized short-form assignment specifically transfers Jaymes Young Music LLC’s scheduled interest, while the work roster reports 100% of Jaymes Young’s writer share and 50% of publishing; Warner-Tamerlane is a co-claimant. Confirm whether any individually held interest was conveyed under the separate APA (the seller signature is not shown in the available extract), the resulting share, and any transfer of pre-acquisition claims.
• The Surrender agreement describes Sony/ATV publishing and collection limits but its referenced underlying publishing agreements/schedules were not separately identified in the organization library. Confirm the full composition terms and any work-specific restrictions.

Rights by work

• Surrender — Natalie Taylor

  Show chain diagram
  - Master: The record identifies Anchor Room, LLC as the sound-recording author/claimant, and its Columbia agreement says the recordings, including “Surrender,” are owned by Anchor Room and exclusively licensed to Columbia. The May 2024 asset purchase agreement purports to transfer the sellers’ entire right, title, and interest in the master to GSM Asset Co II LLC. This supports an acquired master interest, subject to confirming the transfer closed and to Columbia’s exclusive license through April 29, 2030. It does not establish GSM’s ownership when the 2020 posts were made. - Composition: The 2024 registration identifies GSM Asset Co II LLC as claimant of “Surrender,” with transfer stated as “By written agreement.” The asset purchase agreement also purports to transfer the sellers’ entire composition interest. That transfer is subject to the pre-existing Sony/ATV publishing agreements: the excerpt describes administration/retention and collection periods extending into 2025–26. Closing, precise Cash Date, underlying publishing terms, and rights at the 2020 post date remain open.

• Happiest Year — Jaymes Young

  - Master: Not listed for this work. - Composition: A notarized short-form assignment dated July 11, 2025 transfers Jaymes Young Music LLC’s entire interest in the scheduled compositions to GSM Asset Co II LLC; Schedule 1 names “Happiest Year” and lists two BMI work codes. The ownership roster describes GSM’s interest as 100% of Jaymes Young’s writer share and 50% of publishing, with Warner Chappell holding the other publishing half; the 2019 registration likewise names Jaymes Young Music and Warner-Tamerlane as claimants. This supports a transferred, partial composition interest, not ownership of the whole composition. Confirm the extent of any individually held share under the separate 2025 APA and whether the transfer covers the 2021 use.
