Shenseea is officially entering a new era.
The Jamaican dancehall superstar has signed a record deal with Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, confirming weeks of speculation about her next big move. Her first single under the new deal, “Boss Up,” is out now — marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for one of Jamaica’s most dynamic global stars.
A New Home at Sony
Shenseea’s partnership with Columbia and Since ’93, two powerhouse divisions of Sony Music Entertainment, follows her five-year run with Interscope Records. The new agreement places her on the same legendary roster as Beyoncé, Adele, and Harry Styles, signaling an intentional push toward global pop dominance.
The confirmation came through official copyright listings and the release of “Boss Up,” which dropped under Columbia Records/Since ’93, in collaboration with Shenyeng Inc. — Shenseea’s own imprint.
Weeks of Speculation Finally Confirmed
Rumors about a Sony signing began circulating after Shenseea was spotted filming visuals in London and fans noticed her pre-save link for “Boss Up” was hosted on Sony Music UK’s infrastructure.
Now, with the official release and label credits confirmed, the chatter has turned to celebration.
“Boss Up”: A Declaration of Independence
“Boss Up” is more than a single — it’s a statement. The track serves as Shenseea’s first official release since parting ways with Interscope in late 2024, and her introduction to the Sony family.
On social media, she teased the song with her signature confidence:
“Somebody tell Prince Harry ‘Boss Up’ a drop Friday!”
The post immediately went viral, with fans praising her swagger and symbolic step toward independence and global expansion.
Meet Her New Team: Since ’93
Shenseea’s new label partner, Since ’93, is a UK-based entertainment powerhouse founded by Riki Bleau and Glyn Aikins. Known for launching international stars like Tems, Aitch, Cat Burns, Tyla, Fredo, and Loski, Since ’93 has played a key role in bridging UK rap, Afrobeats, and R&B with global audiences.
In 2024, Bleau and Aikins received Music Business UK’s “A&R of the Year – Adult Contemporary” award, further solidifying the label’s reputation for spotting and shaping crossover talent.
Continuing a Proud Jamaican Legacy
With her move to Columbia, Shenseea joins a long lineage of Jamaican artists who helped bring dancehall to the world through Sony’s labels.
In the 1990s, Patra and Diana King made history with global hits under Sony subsidiaries like Epic and Work Group, while icons such as Super Cat, Mad Cobra, and Tony Rebel pushed reggae and dancehall onto the U.S. charts under Columbia.
Now, nearly three decades later, Shenseea becomes the first Jamaican woman of her generation to sign directly to a Sony Music label — carrying forward a legacy of Caribbean excellence and global influence.
A Global Takeover in Motion
Following the success of her 2024 hit “Hit & Run” with Masicka — the year’s biggest dancehall song — Shenseea’s new deal positions her for another international breakout moment.
From Kingston to London to Los Angeles, the message is clear: Shenseea isn’t just playing the game anymore — she’s running it.
