  "account": "Only Good People, a management and publishing firm based in London and Stockholm, has entered into a partnership with Sony Music Publishing Germany to launch Only Good Songs. The venture's mission, according to Kristina Altinger, Sony Music Publishing Germany's senior A&R manager, is to foster creativity and long-term artist development. Only Good People's roster currently includes artists such as James Newman, Giovanni Damiani, Reece Taylor, and Dom Lyttle, known professionally as Decoy Tunes. Damiani himself co-wrote the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, \"DNA (More Than A Game),\" under the guise of Only Good Songs. As the company's managing director in Stockholm, Martina Pemac emphasizes the importance of the new industry paradigm, where song sales may be swift but their enduring value is far greater. \"Only Good People was constructed as the necessary infrastructure to meet the new demands,\" Pemac states in the company's statement.",
