The belief that signing a record contract will almost infallibly lead to some measure of success— the “ideology of getting signed,” as Arditi defines it—is alive and well. Though streaming, social media, and viral content have turned the recording industry upside down in one sense, the record contract and its mythos still persist.

“Getting Signed deserves to garner interest from researchers, music journalists, and artists alike. Furthermore, through its synthesis of theory and empirical evidence, Getting Signed is a useful text for scholars who are looking to tackle fundamental questions about the unequal relationships of power that lie behind cultural production.” (Jabari Evans, Journal of Popular Music Studies, Vol. 35 (2), June, 2023)“Getting Signed is a book that builds a powerful critique of one of the biggest and most influential music industries worldwide, unveiling how the ideological motive of getting signed brings individuals to sign their own exploitation in the promise of economic success. … By providing a toolkit of concepts, theories, and empirical evidence, Getting Signed is an important contribution to tackle fundamental questions about the unequal relationships of power that lie behind many of our daily cultural consumptions.” (Luca Carbone, New media & Society, June 7, 2022)
