Mariah Carey and Epic Records have agreed to extend their relationship.
The label announced Monday that it will partner with the artist’s Butterfly MC Records. The deal also calls for additional music from Carey, with a new studio album expected to arrive this year.
“To continue working with Mariah Carey at Epic has been another rewarding chapter of my career,” said Epic Records Chairman and LA Reid. “Mariah’s incomparable talents as a singer, with her vocal range that is nothing short of legendary, are matched by her brilliance as a songwriter, producer, and performer par excellence.
“Mariah’s chart records have established her enduring place in music history, a position that is cherished and supported by her loyal fans worldwide. I look forward to building upon all of Mariah’s success for years to come.”
“I am putting my heart and soul into making more new music,” added Carey. “I am so thrilled for this next chapter and to continue working with, and for, everyone that I love.”
Reid personally signed Carey to Epic Records in 2015. While she has not yet released a studio album on the label, she did release her “#1 To Infinity” collection (and the recent single “I Don’t”) as an Epic artist.
Since joining the Epic family, the artist has also embarked on a tour, starred on “Mariah’s World,” inked a deal with MAC Cosmetics and headlined a Vegas show.
