Sunny Sweeney is looking to build on the success of her 2nd album, 'Concrete', and she'll be using a different record label for CD number three. The 2013 ACM Nominee for Best New Female Vocalist has signed a deal with Thirty Tigers and is beginning working on her new album, which has a 2014 release planned.

Sweeney signed with Big Machine Records/Republic Nashville in 2009, and released 'Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame' and 'Concrete' during her time there. 'Concrete' reached the #7 on the US Country charts, on the strength of her Top 10 single, 'From a Table Away'. But she's now moved on and is excited about the future. At a press conference, the Longview, Texas native said:

"I have long been a fan of Thirty Tigers and the amazing roster of talent they have worked with through the years, and am thrilled to become part of their family. I can’t wait to share my new music with my fans!"

Thirty Tigers president and co-founder David Macias made it clear that the feeling is mutual, praising Sweeney:

"Most of the time, it’s the managers or attorneys that initiate discussions about artist relationships. In this case, I reached out, hat in hand, expressing how much we'd love to work with Sunny. I'm such a fan of hers and I'm incredibly excited that she is joining the family. We're looking forward to working with Sunny, as well as the incredibly talented team of people she's surrounded herself with."

Both the label and Sweeney sound anxious to get to work. While they are talking about a CD release next year, don't be surprised if we hear at least one single before the end of 2013.
