Janet Jackson has severed ties with Island Records after just fourteen months with the label. The move was prompted by Janet’s frustration of lackluster sales for her most recent album.
“They just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album,” she said in a previous interview.
Janet has since asked to be released and Island Def Jam has complied.
“At her request, the record label has agreed to dissolve their working relationship with the popular artist,” Jackson’s rep said in a statement. “Now, more than 20 years after the release of her iconic album, Control, Janet will have autonomy over her career, without the restrictions of a label system.”
According to Jackson’s publicist, she is looking forward to being one of the first superstar artists to have the individual freedom that comes along with being a free agent.
