Warner Records in the US has announced it has signed chart-topping Brazilian artist Anitta and will release her first album in the country later this year. The major already works with the musician in her home country, they having released four albums together since 2013.
Confirming that partnership was being extended into the US, the bosses of Warner Records in the country - Aaron Bay-Schuck and Tom Corson - say in a joint statement: “We’re THRILLED to partner with the global Warner Music Latin team to bring Anitta’s incredible music to the US and beyond".
"Anitta is truly unlike any artist we’ve ever experienced", they go on. "She’s not only an extraordinary musical talent, but is a blazing creative force, an electrifying performer and a true cultural phenomenon. Alongside Anitta’s manager, Brandon Silverstein, we look forward to scaling even greater heights together".
Anitta herself adds: “I’m so excited to join the US Warner Records team. It’s the most important moment in my career. Now, I can show more about my art and culture to the world internationally. I can’t wait for everyone to hear all the new music I’ve been working on, which will be a fresh blend of both Spanish and English".
