Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who played a country singer in the film “Country Strong,” has signed a deal with Atlantic Records, The Wrap reported Tuesday.
The financial terms of the deal were not released, but it is believed that Paltrow’s deal is worth $900,000. The label said her debut album is due later this year.
Paltrow, 38, is married to Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, who are signed to EMI.

She recently showed off her singing skills on “Glee,” at the Country Music Awards, at the Grammys — where she writhed in a tight black bodysuit on a baby grand piano to perform “Forget You” with Cee Lo Green — and at the Oscars, where she performed the nominated song “Coming Home.”
A source told the New York Post that people who have heard Paltrow’s music described it as “country pop.”
Atlantic’s roster includes Sean Paul, B.o.B, T.I., James Blunt, Janelle Monae, Zero 7, Phil Collins and Kid Rock.
Paltrow returns to “Glee” on Tuesday night to reprise her role of substitute teacher Holly Holiday. Songs planned for the episode include Prince’s “Kiss,” Joan Jett’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.”
