Stacey Kent announced the following:
MESSAGE FROM
NAIVE RECORDS, my new label: “naïve is thrilled to announce the signing of a new contract with worldwide jazz star, Stacey Kent
The brand new album of Stacey Kent, Summer Me, Winter Me, will be released on November 10th, alongside an international tour.
Stacey Kent's own catalogue was distributed by Believe since 2020. We are glad to reinforce our collaboration and to create the conditions of a tremendous success for both the new album and Stacey Kent's
catalogue.
About this agreement, Stacey Kent said:
"I’m thrilled to have joined the naïve family, releasing my new album, Summer Me, Winter Me, in partnership with this fantastic label. We’ve been working together behind the scenes for months and it’s great to be involved with such a dedicated and talented team.
Having devoted the last few years to small group and orchestral projects, this is my first quintet album since The Changing Lights in 2013. Mostly recorded in New York, this is an unofficial “requests” album. I’m looking forward to presenting these new songs and hope to see you at a concert soon."
Pierre-Antoine Devic, Head of Classical music and Jazz at Believe, said:
"Joining forces with such an artist as Stacey Kent is a milestone for naïve and Believe. We fell in love with Stacey's music years ago and we are proud to contribute to the development of her profile worldwide. Welcome to naïve, Stacey!"
