The girls let the cat out of the bag last week via their social media platforms, but Sony Music has today officially confirmed that they’ve inked a deal with Brisbane siblings The Veronicas.
New music from Jess & Lisa has been a heck of a long time coming; they’ve not released a new studio album in seven long years and the last taste of new music was back in 2012 with ‘Lolita’.
Now with the new deal in the bag, Sony has confirmed that the girls’ highly anticipated third studio set (on which work continues) will be released later in the year.
In a statement released late today, Jess Origliasso gushed about the sisters’ new home.
“The opportunity to work with such a successful team that understand and support our freedom as the artists we are, and who have embraced us to help lift us higher than we’ve known in the past, is nothing short of a privilege and blessing,” she said. “With Denis Handlin and the Sony Music team worldwide, we finally feel at home to create music and a career without limits.”
The Sony CEO returned the praise. “The Veronicas are outstanding Australian artists, and I am thrilled to have them join with the Sony Music family. We are very excited to bring their new album to the fans later this year and to be a part of this next phase in their exciting career.”
