Multi-platinum hitmaker COLLIN RAYE inks deal with Infinity Records Nashville
NASHVILLE — Infinity Records Nashville has signed Collin Raye as the first artist for
the new label. Company president George Collier said Raye’s first Infinity single
will be released in October and a full album will follow in January 2005. Infinity Records
Nashville is a unit of Infinity Music Corp. (IFMU.PK).
“This is a great signing for Infinity Records,” Collier said. “It’s
our initial signing for this label, and I’m excited to debut with someone of Collin
Raye’s stature. He is one of the best voices in country music, and we look forward to
a long relationship with Collin and his management.”
Raye has a string of hits dating back to 1991, when he hit No. 1 with, “Love
Me.” Since then, he has had a total of 15 songs go to No. 1, and he has also had 15
No. 1 music videos. Country Music Television (CMT) lists four of his videos among the top
100 music videos of all time.
Raye started attracting critical and popular attention in 1991 with the release of his
debut album, “All I Can Be.” By 1997, he had been nominated for male vocalist of
the year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music. In the
following years, he went on to receive numerous awards and nominations. He remains very
much in demand for concerts, and he performs more than 100 live dates each year.
