Kelly Rowland asked to leave her label and they said 'alright then'

  • March 20, 2014

Kelly RowlandLook, calm down everyone. Kelly Rowland wasn't dropped by her label; she asked to leave and her request was granted.

According to Jawn Murray and his various sources, Rowland actually left Universal back in December 2013 following poor sales of her last album, 'Talk A Good Game'.

She was also not massively happy that the label appar­ently failed to promote a new single and cap­it­al­ise on her being a judge on The X Factor US.

Mind you, given that only about 25 people were watching it in the end that might have been a bit of a waste of money.

Apparently she's started working on new material for her fifth album, so no one panic.
