Hipgnosis Songs Fund

Recognition Music Group is one of the largest investors and managers of music IP rights and headquartered in London. The company was created in 2024 through the combination of songs and recordings owned by Blackstone Inc's Hipgnosis Songs Assets and the formerly listed Hipgnosis Songs Fund, which Blackstone took private in July 2024. RMG includes the former Hipgnosis Song Management, which was investment adviser to both funds. The combined business was rebranded as Recognition Music Group in March 2025. On May 30, 2025, Sony Music Publishing acquired its subsidiary Hipgnosis Songs Group, and on May 11, 2026, it was announced that Sony Music Publishing would acquire Recognition's complete catalog in a deal which was reported on July 15, 2026 as having completed following regulatory approvals. When the deal was announced, Blackstone said it intended to continue to invest across the music sector through recognition.
