To Sum Up: In the most basic sense, a label pays an artist an advance, works their album, gets a team behind the album, and tries to sell the album. In exchange, the artist gives up a percentage of their royalties for as long as the contract lasts, and gives up 100% of their royalties until the advance is recouped.
Think of it like a loan. The label invests in your music and development, then you pay them back a set amount from your earnings. The label also agrees to pay you a set share of money from recording sales known as the royalty rate.
