Kelly Rowland Dropped by Label
Former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland is amicably parting ways with her record label Columbia Records to pursue a solo career elsewhere. The Grammy award winning artist said “Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching. As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution. I want to thank everyone at Columbia for the love and support they’ve shown and I will never forget how many good times we’ve had over the years.” However, there are conflicting reports that she was dropped because she was no longer commercially viable.
