American Idol‘s Kellie Pickler has been signed by Black River Entertainment. CEO Gordon Kerr made the announcement, stating: “What’s not to love about Kellie? She’s real, she adores her fans, she’s rooted in and committed to country music and she’s genuine. How can you ask for more than that?”
Commenting on her new label, Pickler said, “In looking for a label partner, I was really drawn to the Black River family because they hold similar values that I do. From our initial meeting, it was clear to me how much the entire team respects the artists’ musical vision, and I’m really looking forward to getting back into the studio to record and release new music to country radio.”
Pickler was a contestant on the 2006 season of AI. Following her elimination, the popular Albemarle, North Carolina singer signed with 19/BNA Records and released her first album, Small Town Girl. Selling 800,000 copies, that album included the singles “Red High Heels” and “Things That Never Cross a Man’s Mind.” She followed Small Town Girl up in 2008 with a self-titled CD and in 2012 with 100 Proof.
