Renan90 Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 On the heels of achieving the biggest debut for an all-Spanish-language album by a female Latin artist, Karol G has signed a new deal with Interscope Records. The move sees her exit from Universal Music Latino but reinforces a seven-year-long partnership with parent company Universal Music Group. “Our partnership with Karol and her team dates back to the beginning of her career, and it has been a thrilling journey filled with incredible music,” said Sir Lucian Grainge, chairman and chief executive officer of UMG. “She is simply one of the most exciting artists in popular music today and we’re honored she has chosen to deepen her partnership with UMG for many more years to come.” Karol is set to tour stadiums across the United States later this year in support of “Mañana Será Bonito,” the chart-topping LP that debuted at the top of the Billboard 200. The set made a historic entrance on the list as the first all-Spanish-language record by a female artist to hit No. 1. All four of Karol’s studio albums have entered the charts, though “Mañana” was the Colombian singer-songwriter’s first to enter the top 10 of the list. “ ‘Mañana Será Bonito,’ marked a new era for me that came with many unforgettable milestones,” Karol shared. “I’m continuously amazed at the support my fans give me, which motivates me to deliver the best of me, and I’m certain that this partnership with Interscope and their incredible team will help us continue building and making history. I’m thrilled to see what’s to come.” “Karol G is without a doubt one of the most powerful, creative and dynamic artists in the world,” said John Janick, chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. “We are thrilled to welcome her into the IGA family and look forward to working with her and her team on the next phase of her incredible career.” Added Karol’s manager, Noah Assad, “John, Nir and the entire team at Interscope have built the only platform of its kind which will enable Karol to serve her current fanbase while continuing to grow her audience around the world. We’re excited to get started with everyone at Interscope.” Interscope’s Executive Vice President Nir Seroussi, who oversees the company’s Miami operation, also comments: “Karol is one of the most talented, driven and astute artists with whom I’ve ever worked. She brings with her a world-class team in Noah Assad, Jessica Giraldo and Raymond Acosta, and we look forward to working with them to build upon Karol’s global legacy as an artist.” https://variety.com/2023/music/news/karol-g-interscope-records-universal-music-group-1235633121/
Kayseri Mantisi Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 I love her and listen to her but these descriptions sound a bit exaggerated?

They are but honestly I’m all for it I saw her live and she is not only talented but she’s humble and VERY deserving of her success her MIC was on the entire time and she got and entire arena sold out in a French city (Montreal) Yes she makes slutty p*ssy popping music but as a sl*t who am I to blame her.
memo90061 Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 Will she have a collaboration with Gwen Stefani? XD
tshwark Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) I really try, but I don’t see what’s so special about her. Edited June 6, 2023 by tshwark

THIS! But I think that's why MSB has worked so well it showed the GP that she has way more to offer than slutty ***** popping music
Alfred Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 Look at those 3 happy white men executives, looking so proud

Her reggaeton is good and she has a lot of charisma, but honestly, I don't know if she could have a successful crossover. Anitta (Warner) and Rosalía (Columbia) have been trying for years and still can't.
Sergi91 Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Interscope doesn't even know how to manage their own artists much less someone from a Spanish market

Anitta (Warner) and Rosalía (Columbia) have been trying for years and still can't. With the right material she could do some damage. She got at least 3 top 40 hits in the US, PROVENZA made it to last year's Hot 100 year end chart and it never crossed over to Pop radio, she has what it takes, the other two didn't even hit top 40 with a collab, she did it alone

OraEmpire Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 There is some new info from Billboard, she will own all her future masters and have her own imprint label called "Bichota Records" and Interscope will distribute. And the deal is apparently worth up to 100M$. https://twitter.com/billboardlatin/status/1666445047133270022
