After parting ways with her long time manager Matthew Knowles late in January, Kelly released a statement Tuesday morning confirming that she has indeed left her record label Columbia records which has been her home as an artist for over 10 years. While she is released from the label as a solo artist, she is stilled tied to it as a member of the group Destiny's child.
"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," says Kelly.
"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."
I certainly think that parting ways Matthew was a great move for her career and hopefully changing record labels also helps bring a little more light onto her new solo endeavors.
