Maisie Peters signs to Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records and announces debut album

After releasing the Trying season two soundtrack last month, Maisie Peters has signed to Sheeran's label Gingerbread Man Records, and has announced her debut album.

The debut album, titled You Signed Up For This, will be released in August, and the lead single "Psycho" - co-written with Sheeran and Steve Mac - is due for release early next month.

Speaking about the news, Peters said, "Signing to Gingerbread is a dream come true. I grew up inspired and in awe of Ed, like many other 13 year olds who heard "Lego House" for the first time, so, it’s kind of amazing and hard to believe that I get to be the 21 year old who is able to call him and the whole Gingerbread team now friends, family and mentors for life.

Peters continued, "I’m so excited to announce You Signed Up For This, it really is my (albeit not hugely long) life’s work and my proudest achievement; it is my favourite album maybe ever and whilst I may be biased, I really hope it goes into the world and becomes lots of other people’s favourite too. It all means the world and is my world and there is nothing I would rather do."

the next single off the album is called Psycho, and is one of three songs i wrote with ed on YSUFT. it’s out July 2nd and oh my god i cannot wait for u to hear it. pre save it here https://t.co/Y3WRVuA2jy <3

Sheeran added, "Excited to announce that I’ve signed the wonderful Maisie Peters to Gingerbread Man Records. She’s a very special artist who continues to push her storytelling in new directions. We had a few great writing sessions together and from there I knew I had to work with her. Can’t wait for you to hear her debut album."

"Psycho" will be the second song to be shared from You Signed Up For This, following February's "John Hughes Movie".
