Ally Brooke to Release Spanish Album Via Joint Latin Label Deal – Following a stint in Dancing With the Stars and a 2020 U.S. tour, Ally Brooke is tapping into her Latin side. The former Fifth Harmony member has signed a joint record deal with indie labels Duars Entertainment, founded by Eric Duars, and with AMSI, launched by entertainment attorney Simran A. Singh, becoming the first female artist signed to either company. Brooke, who is Mexican American, is in the midst of recording her first Spanish-language album and is working with producers Luny Tunes, Dimelo Flow and Mr. NaisGai, among others. The album will also feature collabs with Latin and mainstream artists. Singh, who initially came onboard as her attorney, was impressed with both Brooke’s personality and her voice. “We began working and I said, ‘What do you think about doing a Spanish album?'” says Singh. “She said she’d love to and we instantly clicked.” – Read more at Billboard
