Westlife Sign A New Deal With Warner Music UK Label East West Records

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Last month, it was revealed that the 'What About Now' hitmakers - made up of Shane Filan, Markus Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne - parted ways with EMI over two years after the release of their 2019 album 'Spectrum', which topped the charts in the UK and featured five songs written by Ed Sheeran.

A spokesman for the band said at the time: "They�ve agreed a mutual parting of ways with EMI and details of a new and groundbreaking partnership are imminent.
�The next 18 months are shaping up to be the band�s busiest, including a new album, sold-out stadium shows - featuring a first show at Wembley Stadium - plus their biggest-ever global tour, which will include their first-ever American shows.
�The band are also considering opportunities for a spectacular end-of-year TV show and a documentary special.�
And on St Patrick's Day (17.03.21), the Irish group have announced their label news and teased new music.

They said: �Not only is it St Patrick�s Day but we are also celebrating our brand new partnership with East West and Warner Music. We have found a record label that share the same energy and high ambitions as the four of us, in what will be a very busy year, where there will be some surprise announcements and of course new music!�

Jeremy Marsh, head of Rhino UK and East West Records, added: �Westlife are one of the most popular and commercially successful boy bands of all time, and we�re thrilled to be working with them to share their new music� their fans are going to be blown away by what�s coming! At East West, we believe we can find new and interesting spaces for them, and we already have a lot of ideas in full swing. It�s also great to be reunited with Sonny Takhar and to be working together again after 20 years!�
