.Check out which artists inked new record label deals this week, including Teyana Taylor and Dark Funeral.
.Teyana Taylor is the newest addition to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label. The singer-songwriter, rapper, dancer/choreographer and actress released her first mixtape The Misunderstanding of Teyana Taylor last month and will follow that release with two singles. Taylor was initially signed to Pharrell Williams’ Startrak/Interscope label at age 15 (she is now 21). The artist tweeted, “I’m g.o.o.d money b!”

.Vagrant Records has added California Wives to its roster. The group will release their debut album via the label later this year. Vocalist/guitarist Jayson Kramer said, “We were excited to sign to Vagrant because it gave us the opportunity to work with a great producer who pushed us to think outside of our tendencies as musicians. The newer instrumentation and arrangements were a result of that relationship in the studio. We are thrilled to be a part of such a terrific roster of musicians at Vagrant and we can’t wait to put the new music out there.” Check out new track “Marianne” below:

.Swedish metal band Dark Funeral has signed with Century Media Records. The band will release their next three albums via the label. Guitarist Lord Ahriman said in a press release, “Our bad luck with labels in the past has for sure been very frustrating. So it is with great pleasure to finally be able to turn the page, move on and start a new dark chapter in the Dark Funeral saga, as we join the great Century Media family. Century Media has more than enough proven to be a stable and highly professional label. And we are totally looking forward to this new cooperation, which I’m sure will prove to be very satisfying and successful for both parts.”
.U.K. artist and producer Labrinth has signed with RCA Records. Check out his video for “Earthquake” below:
