a+r
The fancy name for the people who hunt down new talent and sign them to a label, usually just to make money off them. They also pick producers and plan recording sessions, like they know what they're doing.
'A&R tried to sign me, but they didn't even know my name.'
I got a call from A&R saying I was 'the next big thing', then I got a bill.
A&R told me I was a 'star in the making', they didn't know I was still in my pajamas.
