Kylie Minogue has signed a new deal with
Jay-Z's Roc Nation.
The singer is the latest star to join the
company, which manages artists such as Rihanna, Rita Ora and MIA.
"Roc Nation would like to welcome
Aussie singer, recording artist, songwriter, actress and designer Kylie Minogue
to the family," Jay-Z announced on his Life and Times blog.
"Kisses from my new home rocnation #KM2013ROC," Minogue tweeted of the news. Her signing to Roc Nation follows Timbaland's new deal with the company earlier this week.
Roc Nation's website only has Kylie listed under "Management" not "Artists". This likely means her deal is similar to Shakira's, in that she is managed by the label, but not signed to them for a record deal. Roc Nation seem to handle a lot of artists in a management capacity who are not actually signed to the label.
Whatever the case I hope this means good things for the future!!!
UPDATE:
Billboard has confirmed that the deal is only for management! AND: a new single is coming very soon!!! HURRAH!!!
The Aussie singer's U.S. publicist confirms to Billboard that the partnership is for management services, while she is still signed to Parlophone as a recording artist. Minogue has already been added to the "Management" section of Roc Nation's site. She joins artists ranging from Rihanna, Solange, M.I.A, Shakira and Timbaland, another recent addition, on their roster. Meanwhile, an industry source tells Billboard Minogue will release a new single "soon." She's been at work on a new studio album since at least the spring of 2012, as previously reported."

I am in shock about this, but at the same time not suprising since she has already parted ways with Terry Blamey. Let's just hope this will go well for her!
It seems that she has only signed to the management aspect of the label, which could mean that she is still signed to Parlaphone as her record label...
Confirmed by Billboard...just for managment only! THIS IS HUGE...for our girl...Billboard also reports that a new SINGLE will be released SOON! Whooooop!
WOW! Thanks sweetie!!! Glad she's is still signed to Parlo - and I am HYPED over the fact that we will get a bran new single so soon! 2013 looks set to be yet another fab Kylie year!
Let's hope this doesn't mean that anything she releases under the new arrangement sounds like Rihanna, Rita Ora or MIA, because that really would be shit. Jx
Those were my first thoughts!
