Jessica Andrews Signed To Disney's Carolwood Records

Jessica Andrews, who released several albums on the now defunct DreamWorks Nashville label, is back with a new label. Andrews signed with the Lyric Street sister imprint Carolwood Records, President Randy Goodman said today.

"We're thrilled to have an artist of Jessica's caliber and track record to help us launch Carolwood," said Goodman. "The music is great, and everyone is excited about her debut single, Everything. Our goal with Carolwood was to come out of the box and take our first single all the way, and Jessica gives us that credibility and shot."

Andrews came on the country music scene at the age of 15 as her first single hit the charts and in 2000 had a chart-topping single and album of the same name, "Who I Am." In 2002, There's More to Me Than You hit 17 on the charts. Eight other songs have charted, though none made the top 20. In recent weeks Andrews has been at work in the studio with Rascal Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus, who produced her debut Carolwood Records single.

"I'm really excited to be a part of Carolwood Records and pumped to be the first artist and first new music they deliver to country radio," said Andrews, 24. "Over the last few years I've been focusing on writing and getting geared up with new music. Marcel wrote an amazing song in Everything and working with Jay (DeMarcus) has been the icing on the cake. I'm just ready to get out there and share my new music."

Everything is Andrews' first new music in over three years. The song will deliver to country radio on Nov. 4 for immediate airplay. Her new CD is expected to be out next spring.
