Beach Bunny have signed with Atlantic Records, their first major-label deal following 2025's Tunnel Vision on AWAL. Their first single for the label, 'Vinegar,' was written by frontwoman Lili Trifilio about consumer culture and the feeling of constantly being marketed to, and arrives ahead of a North American headline run from March 4 in Dallas to May 7 at Chicago's Salt Shed, before opening for Weezer on 13 UK and European dates from May 12.

Fresh off receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami, Cristian Castro has brought on Jorge Juárez and Enso Music for management. Juárez also manages Carín León, while Castro, who has sold more than 12 million records, continues his Nada Solo Éxitos Tour through March, with a new album planned for 2027.

Interscope Records has signed Brazilian rapper BK as the first artist for Interscope Capitol Miami, alongside a new exclusive distribution and joint venture deal with independent urban label Supernova Entertainment. Interscope Geffen A&M's Laura Carter and Ramon Alvarez-Smikle called him “one of the defining figures in Brazilian hip-hop,” and his first release under the deal will be a 10th-anniversary remix album of his 2016 debut, Castelos & Ruínas.
