Lily Rose has signed a record deal with Big Loud and released a new video for her debut single 'Villain'.
The Atlanta Native became a TikTok sensation when her song, ‘Villain’, went viral and topped the iTunes all genre and Country charts.
She signed a single deal with independent label Back Block, while a bidding war ensued between other Nashville labels after that.
It was Big Loud and Republic who prevailed, with Rose saying “It was finding the right family and I felt that with them, right off the bat, it’s been my dream label ever since I moved to Nashville four years ago”.
The labels currently have the biggest album in the States right now, with Morgan Wallen’s ‘Dangerous: The Double Album’ sitting top of the Billboard 200, however this is their first attempt at breaking a female artist into Country music.
Just after announcing the deal, Lily Rose released the video for the song that kick-started her career, ‘Villain’. Speaking of the visual, she said “We wanted to stay away from the obvious, romantic relationship story the song refers to…
It appears that a cop is going around looking for a bad guy and the (twist) is, I’m a dirty cop and I’m really just looking for the money. So the hero the entire time is actually the villain. It’s kind of the antithesis of the actual lyric”.
