It turns out EMI's doing O.K. in this era of file-sharing and recessions. Coldplay's album Viva La Vida helped them triple their earnings last year.
In the midst of the earnings news, the release schedule for 2009 was listed...confirming new releases by Gorillaz and Massive Attack this year!
From Music Week:
"The company’s release schedule for the year includes new albums from Air, Gorillaz, Norah Jones, Massive Attack, Kylie Minogue, KT Tunstall and Robbie Williams. EMI is also gearing up for September 9 when it will release the original Beatles catalogue, digitally re-mastered for the first time and the same date as the widely anticipated The Beatles: Rock Band video game."

yeeeeah! new Air, Gorillaz, Massive Attack = 2009 is increasingly fantastic for music :D
I know, it's all love/hate with EMI. I mean, they are Satan, but they've got some pretty great bands to sign their souls away to them.
