Hot take
Insanity Records positions itself as a fiercely independent label with the muscle of a major, thanks to its partnership with Sony Music UK. In less than a decade, they've racked up multiple UK Top Ten singles and albums, plus billions of streams, highlighting a solid track record with both domestic and international acts. The label touts a hands-on, artist-focused approach, drawing from its roots in talent management for a more personal touch. However, despite branding itself as independent, the Sony tie-in means artists may still face the creative and contractual boundaries that come with major label deals. Transparency on artist deal terms and royalty splits can be lacking, and the label's selectivity means it's not accessible to everyone. Still, for artists who want a major label push without losing all indie spirit, Insanity offers a compelling hybrid.
