There are two things I would like to see us have to become more intelligent Alizée fans.
I would like to see a flow chart or some chart in regards to what company does what and what company is related to what company.
There is Jive Epic - responsible for?
Epic Records
Sony or Sony Mexico
Who reports to whom and who has what responsibilities in regards to Alizée's new album.
What is Institubes exact role. Does Wisteria Song fit in to this picture.
I maybe the only one that is interested in this. It would be cool if Jive Epic would answer that.
Second.
Releasing a song as a single, what does that really mean.
An album comes out, a song is released as a single. What does it mean for that song that the other songs on the album are not entitled to? It's own video? Radio play? An opportunity for that single to become its own profit center?

The following is general info and I can't guarantee that it is 100% accurate.
I believe Institubes is a label under which artists of like mind have congregated. It seems Alizée has tapped into some of those artists to help her with her new album. David Rubato and Chateau Marmont are two such artists whose names should be familiar to Alizée fans.

This doesn't necessarily mean Alizée would be using the label itself.
Jive/Epic is a label under Sony. Labels often specialize in specific genres of music, thus different artists are assigned to labels accordingly. Sony has many such labels.
Wisteria is a publishing company that belongs to Jeremy and Alizée to manage the rights to their work. Having their own publishing company means they get a bigger cut and more control.
There are many aspects of these business models that I am not familiar with. Hope this is some help. If anyone sees any errors in this post, pllease feel free to correct me where I am wrong.

as always, thank you Lefty
