Olly Murs signs to EMI Records
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 30 August 2022
After more than a decade with Sony Music, Olly Murs has announced that he’s signed a new deal with Universal Music’s EMI Records. He is currently in the studio working on the follow-up to his 2018 album ‘You Know I Know’.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be signing with EMI, a super label with a great roster of talent”, says Murs. “I now have a new family, a new team and I can’t wait for this exciting new chapter in my music career”.
The deal sees Murs reunited with EMI Records co-President Jo Charrington, who was at Sony when he first signed there as an ‘X Factor’ contestant. “I’m THRILLED to be working with Olly again”, she says. “He has become one of the UK’s most loved voices and entertainers, building a huge and devoted audience. His new music is stellar, full of heartfelt up-tempo bangers”.
EMI’s other co-President, Rebecca Allen, adds: “Jo Charrington and Olly’s long-standing relationship and successes together give us the best opportunity to build and deliver an even more ambitious new chapter”.
In recent years, Murs has focussed more on TV work, having been a judge on ‘The Voice UK’ since 2018. He’s also on a second series of ITV ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ knock-off ‘Starstruck’.
