Janet Jackson has terminated her relationship with her label, Island Records, her publicist announced Monday.
“At her request, the record label has agreed to dissolve their working relationship,” the singer’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.”
Jackson, 42, first discussed her label woes in June, when she told the hip hop Web site SOHH.com, “I’m trying to figure out a way to say this, but just to say it and to be quite honest, they just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album, so I don’t think you’re going to hear another single off this album.”
