"We're beyond excited to finally announce our new partnership with Sire Records and to turn the page to the next chapter of our careers as artists," PRETTYMUCH says. "We've taken the past year to redefine ourselves-individually and collectively-and to take the driver's seat in all things creative. Already, the collaborative spirit and energy we've felt with the new team has given us the confidence and the motivation to strive for bigger and better ideas we didn't know were attainable, and most importantly, they've let us be authentic to ourselves in the process. We can't wait to share what we've been working on with the world, but don't call it a comeback... for us, this is just the beginning."
Rani Hancock, President of Sire Records, says, "We are thrilled to welcome PRETTYMUCH to our Sire Records family. They are true quadruple threats - impressive singers, songwriters and producers, and captivating performers - who have put in the hard work over the past 3 years to build a strong fan base. Now it's their time to thrive.
Sonny Takhar, Mitch Eisner, and the team at KYN are incredible partners, and we can't wait to share PRETTYMUCH's new music with the world."
