After spending more than a decade with Sony Music Nashville’s Arista label, Carrie Underwood has signed a new record deal with Capitol Records Nashville. Carrie’s new label home is one of four labels that form Universal Music Group Nashville (UMGN), which includes artists such as Luke Bryan, Keith Urban and George Strait. Carrie says of her new journey, “It’s so inspiring to me as an artist to feel this excited about the future.  The incredible team at UMG shares the heart and passion I have for music as well as the drive, and their innovative spirit has shown that together the possibilities are endless.”

While it’s unclear why Carrie departed Sony, she did have kind words for everyone she’s worked with so far. Underwood said, “I also want to be sure to thank every single person who has played a part in my recording career so far.  I will be forever grateful to them for all we achieved together.”
