Amerie signed to Def Jam label

R&B singer Amerie has left Columbia records and has signed a 3 album deal with Def Jam records, part of the Island group. Def Jam, home to Rihanna, Mariah Carey and Jane Jackson, has a successful past in making R&B artists big in the industry. After 3 modestly successful albums, could Amerie be the next big thing since Rihanna? Here is the news confirmed:
The 1 Thing hitmaker has parted ways with Columbia Records and inked a deal with Def Jam, the company that secured the massive track Umbrella for Rihanna last year (07), catapulting her to global fame.
And Amerie, who has previously released two albums to moderate success, is hoping the new contract with Def Jam will help boost her career to even greater heights.
