Syleena Johnson Lands Label Deal With Universal, Preps September Release
Syleena Johnson will reintroduce herself to the world of R&B with the launch
of her own label, Aneelys Records (Syleena spelled backwards), through
Federal/Universal Music Group. Federal, a subsidiary of Universal Music
Group, signed Aneelys Records to an exclusive world-wide distribution
agreement and Johnson's fourth studio album, "Labor Pains," will be the
label's first release. With three critically acclaimed albums, one Grammy?
Nomination and several dozen collaborations under her belt, Johnson's newest
venture will further cement her place on R&B's landscape.
"I am so excited about this venture. For the past 10 years, others have had
control of my career. Now, I am in control and the level of Aneelys' success
is dependent on me and I look forward to that challenge. Having full control
allows me to sign my own acts, call all of the shots and release my album
when it is truly ready, I am blessed," said Johnson.
Johnson's newest work is entitled, "Chapter 4: Labor Pains," which is an
in-depth look at her most personal struggles in life. Johnson continues, "I'm
really excited about this album because it will relate to anyone who has put
in hard work, labored to achieve a goal, suffered pain and come through on
top. It will contain what my fans have come to expect of me, powerful,
truthful and inspiring songs."
I thought "Chapter 4: Labor Pains," was the perfect name for this album
because I gave birth to my first child last year which was a difficult
delivery for me. It's about struggle to reap the greatest reward."
Aneelys Records' first single will be "Shoo Fly," which is a controversial
tale of baby mamma drama produced by the legendary Traxster. "I have put
together a wonderful team, my A-Team and I truly believe we are in for a
magical ride," said Johnson. In addition to launching Aneelys Entertainment,
Inc., completing "Labor Pains" and releasing "Shoo Fly," Johnson is training
with fitness expert Will Franklin in preparation for a mini-tour this summer.
Labor Pains due date is September 2, 2008 which is the day after Labor Day
and ironically Johnson's birthday. For more information on Syleena Johnson go
