It's Official - Martina McBride To Republic Nashville
Just as we expected, the big news today from Big Machine Records / Republic Nashville is that they have signed multi-platinum recording artist Martina McBride to their label. McBride had spent all 18 years of her career at RCA/Sony/BMG and was obviously ready for a change.
As we discussed recently I believe this is a great move for Martina and will look forward to watching how her next album does under the new label.
The announcement was made today at a press conference that was held at the Country Music Hall of Fame (image) in Nashville, Tennessee.
"I'm excited to have [Republic Nashville's] passion, excitement and energy focused on my career," Martina told those in attendance, according to Country Aircheck.
McBride joins The Band Perry, Eli Young Band, Sunny Sweeny, Jaron and the Long Road To Love and Shel on Republic Nashville's roster.
According to Big Machine Label Group president and CEO Scott Borchetta, Martina will begin recording in January for a possible late first quarter 2011 single release, but, he noted, "The music will have to lead."
