Music mogul and former Warner Music Group chief Lyor Cohen is on his way back into the music industry after his surprise exit from Warner Music last year. There have been no details surrounding exactly what he's planning, all that's known is that he's teaming with former Warner Music President Todd Moscowitz and Kevin Liles, the former Warner Music Exec VP.

According to Billboard, Lyor's big move has caught the attention and support of Google who has been lobbying to have more "direct influence" on the music industry with their plethora of apps and smartphones.

In any case, the music world will be keeping an eye out on Lyors next move, which is sure to change the landscape of the industry.
