Does Lana own her masters(?) now?

[kitschesque]

I just noticed something while listening to LMLYLAW: there's a "©Lana Del Rey" there among other label and publishing info on the bottom of the screen.

Before it would just be Polydor/Interscope/Universal info. Now it says her name also! Under ALL albums on Spotify. It must've been a recent change.

 

Other artists' credits on the bottom of the screen say just the record label.

I read that the "℗" symbol indicates owning the masters and hers only says "©".

So what exactly is the subject of Lana's copyright here? What makes her situation different from other artists?

 

I have 0 knowledge of legal matters tbh. Is anyone educated enough to guess what that means?

potentially? she bought the rights for AKA for sure but i remember fairly recently in either some kind of interview with her or her management or SOMETHING they said something along the lines of she’s happy in her record contract and she has no plans of leaving (source unsure?) or something like that.

 

interesting thing to note tho: a lot of her merch releases are just copyright of lana del rey, except one shirt from the paradise tour where the print reads copyright elizabeth grant.

She owns the masters to both AKA and Sirens-era music, so she might have Lana Del Rey-era music's masters.
