Jennifer Lopez has put pen to paper on a new record deal.

The sultry singer has signed to RedOne's 2101 label, which is a subsidiary of Capitol and ultimately Universal.

In a statement, the producer expressed his delight at snapping up the former American Idol judge, who will release new single 'Live It Up' via the label. He said:

"This is like a dream come true for me. It was amazing to be able to work with Jennifer on so many great records over the past two years and now it is such an honour to have her on my label."

RedOne continued: "She is a creative inspiration and a true global superstar artist who brings so much to everything she does. I feel that this is historic and a wonderful opportunity to launch 2101/Capitol in this way."

Lopez joins the likes of TalkBack, Porcelain Black and Dive Bella Dive on 2101's roster.
