LeAnn Rimes scored a serious recording contract, will release an album this year

Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes at LAX over the weekend. She was returning home after a trip to London. Eddie Cibrian was with her in London, but I guess they flew back separately. Thankfully, LeAnn returned in time to help Eddie celebrate Fathers Day, because its not really celebrating unless LeAnn gets to

Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes at LAX over the weekend. She was returning home after a trip to London. Eddie Cibrian was with her in London, but I guess they flew back separately. Thankfully, LeAnn returned in time to help Eddie celebrate Father’s Day, because it’s not really celebrating unless LeAnn gets to milk it on her Instagram. She posted several photos of Eddie and her “bonus boys” for the holiday – go here to see.

Meanwhile, did you know that LeAnn actually scored another recording contract? She’s been without a label/home since 2013, when she completely her contract with Curb Records by releasing the underwhelming Spitfire (which sold poorly). LeAnn now has a recording contract with RCA-UK:

After 20 incredibly fruitful — yet oftentimes tumultuous — years on Nashville’s Curb Records, LeAnn Rimes has inked a new label deal. The singer-songwriter is now a part of the RCA-UK family, also home to the likes of Christina Aguilera, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys, Meghan Trainor, Beyoncé, Pitbull and Britney Spears, just to name a few of the big pop, R&B and hip-hop names on the powerhouse record company’s roster.

Rimes will release her first single for RCA-UK, “The Story” on June 24th. Serving as the first taste of her upcoming 16th studio album, the Phil Hanseroth-penned ballad was originally recorded by Brandi Carlile and is a uniquely introspective look at a love. “I fully embrace the journey I am on and have a deeper understanding of how every piece of my story serves a purpose in my evolution as a woman and an artist,” says Rimes. “This song is not only a love song but a song of self-acceptance and appreciation for life.”

It’s not yet clear whether Rimes’ next album, due later this year, will be country, pop or a little bit of both. Spitfire’s producer, Darrell Brown is working with Rimes on her new album, as well.

Well, at least that’s something. And maybe we won’t have to chuckle every time LeAnn goes on “tour” with three appearances at various barbeques and honky-tonks. It sounds like this is a serious contract and LeAnn will be expected to do the work of promoting a real album, which means TV appearances and interviews, etc. But my guess is that LeAnn will still find some way to screw it up. I’ve got 10 bucks riding on “medical emergency,” something that can only be healed with margaritas at the beach.
