DefJam (who've signed Rihanna, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Jay-Z) have just signed a new R&B artist.. well new to their label.
AMERIE :D
So glad she's finally got a new label because her last one failed to do anything, they wouldn't even let her release a 3rd single over here nor release the album in the US, despite it being an AMAZING album :rolleyes:
Apparantly the contract is for 3 albums, so I reckon they're gonna promote her like hell to make sure she gets the success she deserves.
I've loved her since the release of One Thing & Touch, she really does deserve the best of attention. Most of her songs should certainly appeal to lovers of the genre she covers most.
Can't wait for the promotion to start, myself.
oooooooooommggg!!! i love amerie!!!
i like her, but she did annoy me at times.

Singer AMERIE is set to undergo a career overhaul - after signing a deal with the record label which turned RIHANNA into an international superstar.
The 1 Thing hitmaker has parted ways with Columbia Records and inked a deal with Def Jam, the company that secured the massive track Umbrella for Rihanna last year (07), catapulting her to global fame.
And Amerie, who has previously released two albums to moderate success, is hoping the new contract with Def Jam will help boost her career to even greater heights.
A source tells Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "Amerie's first two albums did well, but she's ready to step it up a gear now.
"She was offered a deal too good to turn down and the promise to build upon her reputation for classy and sexy R&B."
Thank you. Can't wait.
